5.2.    Sellers have the option to set a reserve price for their item listed for sale. The reserve price is the lowest price the seller will sell their item for.

5.5.    Unless otherwise stated in writing, all prices quoted are in Australian Dollars (AUD).
6.    DELIVERY OF GOODS
6.1.    Role of Collécte: You acknowledge that Collécte acts solely as a facilitator on behalf of the seller to facilitate the delivery of Goods. Collécte is not the owner of the Goods and assumes no responsibility for the condition, quality, or suitability of the Goods.
6.2.    Shipping and Delivery:  Goods are delivered (“Delivery”) to the address provided by the buyer at the point of sale unless otherwise specified in writing and confirmed by Collécte. Shipping costs provided at the time of purchase are estimates only and may be adjusted:
(a)     Collécte reserves the right to adjust shipping costs if the estimated amount at the point of sale does not reflect the actual shipping charges.
(b)     If the actual shipping costs are higher than estimated, the buyer will be notified of the difference. The buyer can choose to approve the updated costs or cancel the order without penalty.
(c)     Collécte is not liable for any discrepancies between the estimated and actual shipping costs.
6.3.    Liability for Damage or Loss:
Collécte is not liable for any damage, loss, or delays that occur during the delivery of Goods. Any claims related to such issues must be made directly with the shipping provider. Once the buyer accepts the Goods, the risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer.
6.4.    Seller’s Responsibility for Packaging:
Where specified, the seller is responsible for packaging the Goods according to guidelines provided by Collécte in writing. If the seller does not follow these guidelines, liability for any damage caused during transit rests with the seller. The cost of returning damaged Goods in such cases will be borne by the seller.
6.5.    Dispute Resolution:
In the event of a dispute regarding the delivery, either the buyer or seller may contact Collécte for assistance. Collécte will act as a neutral intermediary to facilitate communication between the buyer and seller but does not accept liability for resolving the issue. If a resolution cannot be reached, the parties may pursue other legal remedies.
6.6.    Inspection Period:
The buyer must inspect the Goods upon delivery and report any damage or issues to Collécte within 48 hours. If no report is made within this period, the Goods are deemed accepted in good condition, and the buyer assumes all risk.
7.    PAYMENT
7.1    You must pay:
(a)    the price of the Goods and/or Services supplied by Collécte as determined in accordance with these Terms;

(c)    the agreed charges in respect of each item of Goods and each Service supplied by Collécte, including but not limited to Merchant Fees;
(d)    all other charges agreed between you and Collécte from time to time;
(e)    any applicable tax or other duties; and
(f)    any other amounts owing under these Terms, without deduction or set-off, to Collécte within the relevant timeframe set out in these Terms.
7.2    You authorise Collécte’s third-party payment processor to initiate credit and debit transactions to purchase any item that you have agreed to purchase pursuant to an Order. You acknowledge and agree that Collécte will deduct our fees (commission) from the purchase price and all sellers expressly authorise the third-party payment processing parties to pay directly to us our fees due on each sale and purchase of Goods.
7.3    You will also be responsible for all taxes associated with your purchase, and you will indemnify and hold Collécte harmless from any claims arising from or relating to your failure to pay all such taxes. If you fail to render payment as prescribed for any transaction, the transaction will not be completed. You acknowledge and agree that our third-party payment processors may remit payment on your behalf to consignors and Collécte as soon as your transaction is processed and approved.
7.4    You agree not to stop payment on any transaction. In the event that you wish to cancel an Order pursuant to clause 3.2, do not stop payment on the transaction.
7.5    Since the use of a credit card or debit card account, or the making of an electronic fund transfer may be limited by your agreement with your financial institution and/or by applicable law, Collécte is not liable to any user of our Website if Collécte does not complete a transaction as a result of any such limit, or if a financial institution fails to honour any credit or debit to or from an account. Collécte’s payment processor may post operating rules related to payment on its site and change such rules from time to time. You should review the terms of use and privacy policy on the payment processor's site before completing a transaction.
7.6    Unless Collécte expressly agrees to the contrary in writing, if one or more invoices are outstanding, all of the proceeds of any payment made by you (or on your behalf) shall be allocated and credited firstly to any late payment fees accrued on any outstanding invoices, secondly to the oldest invoice outstanding and then to each more recent invoice (in order from the oldest to the most recent) until all invoices are paid in full.
7.7    Subject to clause 7.8 and 7.9, you must pay for the Goods and/or Services in advance before Collécte is required to provide such Goods and Services. 
7.8    If Collécte agree to supply Goods and/or Services to you on credit the following terms apply:

(i)    no discounts or incentives will apply to payments made after the due date; and
(ii)    where the due date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payments are due the prior Business Day.
7.9    For sellers, unless otherwise advised by Collécte from time to time, payment of all fees and charges to Collécte is made by way of deduction from the amount payable to the seller by Collecte on the sale of Goods on behalf of that seller. Payments will be made via electronic funds transfer (EFT) to your nominated bank account.
7.10    You are not deemed to have paid Collécte’s invoice for the supply of Goods and/or Services to you ("Invoice") until the entire amount due at any time by you to Collécte under that Invoice has been received by Collécte’s bank in immediately available funds.
7.11    If you object to any item or calculation on an Invoice, you must:
(a)    notify Collécte of your objection in accordance with Collécte’s relevant policies and;
(b)    pay the full amount of the Invoice less the disputed amount by the due date.
7.12    If you fail to give notice in accordance with clause 7.11 within 3 Business Days of receipt of the Invoice, you are deemed to have accepted the contents of the Invoice as being true and correct.
7.13    Collécte may take any objection made in accordance with clause 7.11 into account in a subsequent Invoice to you. Payment of subsequent Invoices from Collécte incorporating any adjustments by Collécte resulting from an objection constitutes a final determination of the objection as between you and Collécte.
7.14    Merchant Fees charged in respect of payment for an Order may be varied from time to time without notice.
8    REFUNDS AND RETURNS
8.1    To the extent permitted by law, Collécte will not accept the return of, or provide a credit in respect of, any Good unless:
(a)    you requested to return the Goods within the Inspection Period relating to those Goods; 
(b)    prior written approval of the return of the Goods has been provided by Collécte (which will not be unreasonably withheld);
(c)    the Goods (including packaging, if any) are in the same condition as at the date of Delivery;
(d)    the Goods are returned via Collécte’s nominated carrier; and
(e)    in the case of Goods Delivered in a damaged state or Goods Delivered other than in accordance with the Order, Collécte was given notice in accordance with clause 6.5. 
8.2    Each item returned must be received in original condition, subject only to clause 8.1 and 1.1(e). Collécte reserves the right to deduct from any refund or credit an amount equal to the value of any damage that may have occurred not related to transportation. A refund of the purchase amount or a credit for the purchase amount, less any charges for which the buyer is responsible, will be processed upon confirmation that the item has been safely returned to either Collécte or the seller, as applicable.
8.3    Collécte will not charge a restocking fee in respect of Goods returned in accordance with clause 8.1, but we reserve the right to deduct outbound and return shipping charges from the buyer's original purchase price plus any taxes if applicable. For returns of Goods supplied to the buyer in one or more parcels that require opening in order to inspect the Goods, buyers will be responsible for re-packaging and shipping the Goods to be returned within three (3) Business Days from Delivery.
9    GST
9.1    ln this clause 9:
(a)    the expressions Consideration, lnput Tax Credit, Recipient, Supply, Tax lnvoice and Taxable Supply have the meanings given to those expressions in the GST Act; and
(b)    Supplier means any party treated by the GST Act as making a Supply under a Contract.
9.2    Unless otherwise expressly stated and subject to clause 9.3 and 9.4, all prices or other sums payable or Consideration to be provided under or in accordance with these Terms are exclusive of GST.
9.3    There will be no GST added to any items sold on Collécte. All “Professional sellers” that are registered for GST and are required to charge GST, will have to add GST into their sale price. No GST can be added after the item is sold. By law, “Professional sellers” that are registered for GST have to declare and pay taxes on income earned from Collécte sales.
9.4    Regarding “Private sellers”, as the sale of the goods is fixed by the original owner and Collécte receives a commission for the sale, then the ATO considers Collécte to be acting as an agent for the original owner. Therefore, under this arrangement there will be no GST added to any items sold on Collécte by “Private sellers”. These prices do not include any other taxes, duties, fees or charges (including Merchant Fees).
9.5    If GST is imposed on any Supply made under or in accordance with these Terms, the Recipient of the Taxable Supply must pay to the Supplier an additional amount equal to the GST payable on or for the Taxable Supply, subject to the Recipient receiving a valid Tax lnvoice in respect of the Supply.
9.6    Payment of the additional amount must be made at the same time and in the same way as payment for the Taxable Supply required to be made in accordance with these Terms.

(j)    Collécte may de-activate the account of any seller should it be determined that the seller is not acting in the best interests of Collécte. This may include misrepresenting Collécte to buyers, selling items directly to a buyer when the enquiry has originated from Collécte, sharing direct contact information with a Collécte buyer prior to a purchase, or otherwise behaving in a manner that may be deemed damaging to the Collécte business and brand. 
(k)    Should a seller actively sell an item simultaneously on Collécte and through other platforms, it is the seller’s responsibility to delist the item from Collécte (if sold through other platforms) within a reasonable time frame of less than 24 hours.  Collécte reserves the right to delist items no longer for sale and may charge the seller an administration fee if the listings have not been managed in a manner deemed reasonable.
10.2    Should the seller misrepresent the condition of any listed item whereby the buyer receives the goods validated by Collécte as “not as described” in the listing in the online store:

(b)    Should the seller not transfer payment for the return shipping within 48 hours, Collécte reserves the right to pick up the item from the buyer and store it until the seller pays costs due. The seller remains responsible for all costs associated with the return delivery and storage at Collécte’ s storage facility. Should the seller not pay all outstanding costs within 30 days, Collécte reserves the right to retain the item, whereby they may re-sell the item or donate the item to charity.
(c)    Should the buyer accept the “not as described” item at a reduced price determined as fair and reasonable by Collécte, the seller remains responsible for the commission payment calculated from the original sale price.
10.3    Should the seller actively sell an item simultaneously on Collécte and other platforms, it is the seller’s responsibility to delist the item from Collécte once sold within a reasonable time frame.  Collécte reserves the right to delist items no longer for sale and may charge the seller an administration fee if the listings have not been managed in a manner deemed reasonable.
