We may vary these Terms and Conditions. It is your responsibility to check the website periodically for changes and your continued use of the website following any changes indicates your acceptance of the changes.
You can only use and access the website to the extent you are legally able to do so in your State, Territory and/or country and you must also be over 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your location).

Where you create an Account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and registration attached to your Account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your Account or any other breach of security.

Privacy
Your use of this website and/or our Services may involve the transmission to us of certain personal information (as that term is commonly defined under privacy laws and regulations). Our policies with respect to the collection and use of such personal information are governed according to our Privacy Policy (that you can access on the website), which is incorporated into these Terms and Conditions.
Prices and GST
Prices for our Products are in Australian Dollars, are inclusive of GST and are subject to change without notice in our sole discretion.
We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue all or part of our Products and/or Services at any time.
Product availability and weight
Certain Products and/or Services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products or services may have limited quantities and remain subject to our refund policy.
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of our Products. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any colour will be accurate.
The Product(s) when received may differ to the displayed website images in terms of shape, fat to meat ratio, colour vibrancy and slight weight variation due to the different variations in the animal source.
Our Product prices are calculated on a per unit basis and the weight indicated at the point of purchase is Product-based and is not inclusive of packaging. As such, the weight of a Product may vary (give or take) due to absorption of fluids and the fact that weight loss (also referred to as a purge) is a natural phenomenon for food products, particularly fresh meat products.
We reserve the right, but are not obliged, to limit the sales of our Products and/or Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of Products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, in our sole discretion.
We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any such modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of our Products and/or Services.
Special Offers
From time to time, we may make special offers available to you, such as discount codes. Such special offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions that we notify you of at the time of your receipt of the special offer, which may include timing, limitations on quantity and/or other conditions. Any such additional terms and conditions form part of these Terms and Conditions.

Prior to re-processing an order, we reserve the right to request further information from you, including a government issued ID for the purposes of verifying your identity and order details.
