What are Website Terms and Conditions?
Website Terms and Conditions of Sale are the terms you set for customers who purchase products on your website. They form a legal agreement which customers accept when they place an order through your website.
Your T&Cs should include important terms such as payment, delivery, refunds, warranty and Australian Consumer Law.

Australian Consumer Law – what’s required?
Under Australian Consumer Law, you MUST display T&Cs on your website if you are selling online. ACL requires you to include the following details in your Website Terms and Conditions of Sale:
- A statement that you comply with Australian Consumer Law
- How you will provide a refund, repair or replacement of faulty products
- Details of your guarantee
- Details of any warranty (if you provide one, which is not obligatory)

I absolutely recommend Her Lawyer!

Note, you cannot override the protections under Australian Consumer Law by stating something like “strictly no refunds” as that would be illegal.
