(i) contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error; and

(ii) give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order; but

(iii) not process your order until we have your instructions (and if we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing).

8.3 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order confirmed with a Confirmation.

8.4 Any special deals or offers will only be valid for as long as they are displayed on the Site, unless stated otherwise.

8.5 The price of a Product includes GST (where applicable) at the applicable rate chargeable in Australia for the time being.

12.4 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
