Last updated: 17th August 2020

1. GENERAL

These terms and conditions form part of the contract (agreement) between Green Bean Auto ABN 15503878504 trading as Green Bean Auto (we or us) and the customer (you) that is formed when

  • you sign a form issued by us that describes services that we will perform (Service Authorisation); or
  • under our contactless service model, you place your vehicle key in a secure place or leave the key in your vehicle and by doing so you also authorise Green Bean Auto to perform the agreed services (or amended services as a result of updated instructions from you) on your vehicle (also a Service Authorisation in the alternative); or
  • when we agree to sell products to you, or when you book and/or pay for our products or services via our website www.greenbeanauto.com.au

You acknowledge that these terms and conditions and the Service Authorisation embody the whole agreement between you and us. You agree that the scope and terms of the Service Authorisation (including prices and quotes) may change as a result of updated instructions from you. By offering to buy products and/or services from us and/or by providing a Service Authorisation you agree to be bound by this agreement.

A reference to products in this agreement includes all parts or products fitted as part of services we provide to you, unless the context requires otherwise.

2. PRICING

All our prices and quotes include GST unless stated otherwise. A quote or price is only binding on us upon Service Authorisation. The scope and pricing of the Service Authorisation may change as a result of your updated instructions.

3. PERFORMANCE & SERVICES

We agree to perform the services as described in the Service Authorisation (or as amended as a result of updated instructions from you).

4. PAYMENT

You agree to pay us in full for all services rendered and products supplied before removing your vehicle and/or the products (as applicable) from our premises, unless otherwise agreed. You further agree that payment of all amounts for work contemplated by the Service Authorisation (or as amended as a result of updated instructions from you), and (in the absence of manifest error) all amounts set out in the relevant document, become due upon completion of the work and must be paid by close of business on the day of completion of the work, unless we have agreed otherwise.

To the extent allowed by law, in the event that you become bankrupt; have an administrator, controller, liquidator, receiver or receiver and manager appointed (external administrator); or any steps are taken, or proceedings commenced, to make you bankrupt or have an external administrator appointed, this agreement will terminate with immediate effect and any outstanding monies will become due and payable immediately.

5. RETURNS POLICY

Our returns policy does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. This policy is provided in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

You may return a product for a refund or exchange within 14 days with proof of purchase, unless that product is a discontinued part; not in resalable condition; a part or other product that has been fitted to a vehicle; and/ or not in its original packaging (with manuals and documentation).

We will not be liable for your freight or other costs in returning products (unless otherwise agreed or where you are entitled to such costs under the Australian Consumer Law).

6.CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS

We provide advice on products and parts based on a vehicle’s original manufacturer’s specifications however, sometimes, there may be variations so we recommend customers check with their vehicle’s manufacturer.

If you order products that are an incorrect size or specification, or the products are out of stock, or if you wish to cancel a services booking for repairs or maintenance, we are happy to arrange for the correct products to be fitted or services to be completed at the next convenient opportunity.

If you have already paid for a product or a services booking and wish to cancel before the product is fitted or the services commenced; or if the products are out of stock; or if we are unable to fulfil your order or booking request, we can arrange for a refund. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you or any third party for any cancellation or any delay in fulfilling a product order or in completing services to your vehicle.

If you wish to upgrade products or services which you’ve already booked and paid for, we can process the additional payment when you visit our store.

7. REFUNDS

Refund payments will be processed once you complete any required Request for Refund document; and your transaction, identification and payment information has been verified; and the refund authorised by an appropriate manager.

Partial refunds, including due to variations in stock or charges, may be processed by the Store Manager under certain circumstances. All other refunds, including full refunds, may only be processed by our Store Support Office. Refunds will be actioned within one business day and valid refunds should be returned to you within 3-5 business days. Refunds will be credited to the same payment method used in your initial transaction.
