Together with the brands available on The Website (the "Brands") provide the services available on The Website to you subject to the following terms, conditions, policies, disclaimers and limitations of liability ("Terms and Conditions") that govern the use of The Website. By accessing, browsing, using and/or purchasing from The Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to the Terms and Conditions.

Wong Edelsten Pope Pty Ltd reserves the right to amend or update the Terms and Conditions at any time without notice. We ask that you bookmark and periodically review this page to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of the Terms and Conditions.



1. Privacy Policy

We share your concerns about the protection of your personal information online. Our privacy policy describes our practices regarding the collection and use of information through The Website.

By using or obtaining any product or service through The Website, you agree the collection of use of information as set forth in our privacy policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use The Website.

There are two types of information we collect during your visits to The Website. First, The Website collects non-personally identifiable information that includes IP addresses, operating systems, type of browser software and pages of The Website visited. This information does not identify the user, and is used to get a better understanding of site usage and pages on The Website visited to help us improve the usability of The Website and the services it offers. Second, The Website collects personally identifiable information. When users sign up to become a member, purchase goods and services and/or request information from The Website, submission of personal information such as name, email address, physical address, contact numbers, and credit card numbers is required. This information is used to complete the transactions and requests made by the User and to get make contact via email or phone when necessary.
Personally identifiable information may also passed onto third party service providers we work with, including but not limited to website hosting, newsletter send out services, online credit card clearance, order processing, fulfilment and other services of an administrative nature. While we work with reputable third party service providers and require them to handle personally identifiable information in a lawful and responsible manner, we cannot and do not assume responsibility for their actions.

Service Providers

We work with third parties who provide services, including but not limited to website hosting, credit card clearance, customer service, order fulfilment, e-commerce affiliation, data analysis, emailing and other services of an administrative nature. Personally identifiable information, including financial information, is shared with such third parties for the purpose of providing such services.

We seek to work with reputable partners restrict their ability to use personally identifiable information for their own marketing purposes, however, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies of these third parties. Fraudulent Activities

In the case of suspected fraudulent activities on The Website, we reserve the right to pass on relevant information relating to such activities to appropriate authorities as permissible or required by law.

Children's privacy

The Website is not intended for anyone under 13 to The Website. If we receive information from users who we know are under 13, we will not collect or use this information.

Sale of The Website

As a natural progression of The Website, it may be sold to another party in the future. In the event of a sale, acquisition or merger, all of the customer information including both financial records and consumer information that we have collected may be transferred to the new company.



2. Security

We seek to use reasonable security measures to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personally identifiable information that is transmitted and stored.

Personal information provided on the Web Site and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL), encryption technology.

When the letters "http" in the URL change to "https," the "s" indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you're about to enter a secure area. SSL authentication and encryption of sensitive information sent over the Internet help protect your online transaction information from third party interception.

Unfortunately, no security system, or system of transmitting data over the Internet, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we seek to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee the security of the servers, the means by which information is transmitted between your computer and the servers, or any information provided to us or to any third party through or in connection with The Website. You provide all such information at your own risk.

For added protection, we do not store credit card information on The Website.

Sign out or close your browser once you have finished shopping to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, particularly if you share a computer or using a computer in a public place. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and restricting access to your account.

We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel your account or any orders placed from your account for any reason.
