Term of Use of Bright Star Buddies Website

OVERVIEW OF OUR TERMS OF USE... FOR BUSY PEOPLE

The main points that you need to approve before you buy from Bright Star Buddies are:

1. Personalisation Details: You must ensure that any personalisation details are 100% correct BEFORE you place your order. Any mistakes that you make when entering your order, which need to be reprinted will be charged in full to your account.
2. Correct Delivery Address: You must ensure that your address is 100% correct BEFORE placing your order. If an incorrect address is entered, which results in your order getting delayed or lost in the mailing system, Bright Star Buddies cannot be held liable. If a reprint is required you will need to pay in full, including any additional postage fees.
3. Collection of Mail: If you’ve placed an order and you weren't home when the courier tried to deliver it, then you should find a calling card in your letterbox, which will let you know where you can collect it from. If you requested to have your order left at your home without a signature being required (sometimes known as Safe Drop), unfortunately, we can not guarantee the delivery of your order as you've specified that it was safe to leave unattended. You will need to pick up items from your local post office within 2 weeks of delivery, otherwise your order may be returned to Bright Star Buddies. In this event Bright Star Buddies can resend the item, however additional postage fees will be charged for this.
4. Lost Mail: If you haven't received your order within our normal delivery time frame you will need to lodge an enquiry for lost or delayed mail within a month of ordering. Simply fill out our Contact Us form with your order details so we can track it for you. Lost mail complaints where the time frame is outside of 2 months from ordering cannot be accepted.
