2. Buying Products from our Website
Ordering Goods
Any order placed by you in the manner described in this site is an offer by you to purchase a particular product or service for the price (including the delivery and other charges) specified on this site at the time you place your order. You acknowledge that, by placing your order, you are agreeing to pay for and accept delivery of the goods ordered unless you ask us to cancel that order, and we send you written confirmation of the cancellation prior to the goods being dispatched to you.
NBHC reserves the right to accept or reject your offer for any reason, including without limitation, the unavailability of any product, an error in the price or the product description posted on this site, or an error in your order. We may require additional verification or information before accepting any order. Our policies as to delivery and returns apply as set out in these Terms of Use.
Purchasing & Payment
For each online order, you must pay:
the applicable price for the relevant goods confirmed by NBHC; and
the delivery and handling fee specified on the website at that time.
Your order and credit card details are safe and secure. We are unable to accept COD charges. Payment must be cleared before the goods are dispatched.
Delivery, Pickup & Shipping Information
All orders placed through this website are subject to confirmation and acceptance by NBHC. NBHC or its agent will deliver the goods you order to the address you specify in your order, within the agreed time frame, subject to their availability. Where the goods are not available we will notify you of this as soon as possible. Anyone at the delivery address who receives the goods will be presumed to be authorised to receive the goods.
Time of delivery depends on the method of shipping requested, the type of goods being shipped, and the country of destination. Typically delivery is between 1-10 business days. On rare occasions the customs agency within the destination country may choose to delay individual shipments as a random security measure, these delays can be 2-4 weeks or up to 8 weeks on very rare occasions.
Some items (i.e. dangerous goods) may take longer as it is up to the freight company as to how to transport these goods safely.
Title & Risk
Title to the goods purchased on this site does not pass from NBHC to you until we have received payment in full for the goods. All risk in the goods passes to you upon delivery.
Product Information & Photos
nbhc.com.au aims to include up-to-date pictures and specifications of all of the goods on this website. However, our picture and/or description of the goods may differ from the actual goods. We recommend you read the labels on the goods carefully before using the goods.
Pricing
NBHC may change the prices published on this website at any time. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of prices and information displayed on the nbhc.com.au website,
Prices and range on nbhc.com.au may vary from NBHC’s shop prices.
We may vary prices in the event of price changes or mistakes made by suppliers on reasonable prior notice to you. If we request payment for increased prices, you may cancel the order by giving notice to NBHC, which must be received within seven days of the announcement of the increase.
All prices shown on the nbhc.com.au web site are in Australian Dollars (AUD), are subject to change without notice and include the Goods & Services Tax (GST). We are an Australian Tax Registered Business (ABN) and we provide a tax invoice/receipt with all goods sold. The shopping cart and checkout process will display the amount of GST customers are charged and the total (inc GST) price.
All our prices are inclusive of GST which currently is at a rate of 10%. To find the amount of GST you are paying simply divide the total amount by 11.
In case your delivery address is outside Australia you will not be charged GST.
Clearance Products
All Clearance products are sold on a No Returns basis as per our Returns Policy, and are subject to these Terms & Conditions of purchase. Clearance products are either new, ex-demo, or have some minor cosmetic imperfection.
Due to the limited stock availability of clearance products, neither placement of an order, nor email confirmation that we have received your order, guarantees fulfillment of that order. Orders are processed on a first-come first served-basis and we will be considered to have accepted your order only by delivering the goods. If we cannot accept your order for any reason, we will notify you by telephone or email.
If your order is unsuccessful because the stock has been purchased by an order prior to yours, NBHC is not required to supply you with any alternative products and has no liability to you whatsoever.

Please note that product manufacturers provide their own warranty.
If parts are purchased from us and there is a fault during the warranty period that is attributable to a manufacturing defect, the parts are replaced or repaired. Warranty does not cover damage to goods caused by customers such as:
- Misuse or ill-treatment.
- Not following the manual or the correct procedures.
- Tampering with manufacturer’s internal components or original settings.
- Any consequential damage to other parts or the loss of data.
Turnaround time for warranty claims largely depend on manufacturers or distributors response and availability of products. We will try our best to speed up the process.
Please understand the time involved for a warranty claim will include: the time it takes for you to send us the item, our time to test the item, shipping back to the supplier, supplier’s own test and replacement/repair, and the shipping back to us then onto you, the customer.
On a estimate you can expect this process to take anywhere from 5 working days to more than 5 weeks.
