Once you have made your choice and your order for an item has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is not an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that MCP has received it.

By placing an order with MCP you agree to use the products or services only for their intended purpose. If you use the products or services for any other purpose you will assume full responsibility for any loss or damage arising out of this use.

Acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and MCP will occur when MCP emails you to confirm the goods have been dispatched and have been handed over to the designated carrier. The sale contract is concluded in New South Wales, Australia.

MCP reserves the right to refuse to process or refuse service to anyone at any time at MCP's sole discretion for any reason.

MCP reserves the right to restrict multiple quantities of an item, or restrict the number of items being shipped to any one customer or postal address.

To the extent permitted by law, MCP may reject an order due to incorrect prices or offers even if the order has been confirmed and a credit or debit card charged. If your credit or debit card is charged for the purchase and we cancel the order, we will notify you and credit your credit or debit card account for the amount charged.

Prices shown on the Website are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of GST unless stated otherwise. Prices are subject to change effective immediately upon posting to the Website or other form of notification.

We may occasionally provide special offers and promotions waiving delivery charges in certain circumstances. We reserve the right to vary, cancel or extend special offers and promotions regarding delivery charges.

Delivery times may vary according to availability and any guarantees or representations made as to delivery times are subject to any delays resulting from our carrier that we have no control over or by any event which is out of our reasonable control or foresight including but not limited to any delay caused by an incorrect delivery address being provided to us, for which MCP will not be responsible.
