Last updated: June 2025

Welcome to North Beach Studio. By accessing or purchasing from our website, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully before placing an order.
If you have any questions, please contact hello@northbeachstudio.com.au.

GENERAL
This website is operated by North Beach Studio. Throughout this document, the terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to North Beach Studio.
By visiting our website and/or purchasing from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions, together with our Shipping Policy, Returns & Exchanges Policy and Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated by reference.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms & Conditions at any time. Changes take effect from the date of publication on our website. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
We make every effort to display our artworks, colours and finishes as accurately as possible. However, colours may vary slightly depending on your screen, monitor settings and lighting conditions. This variation does not constitute a fault or misrepresentation.
All artwork dimensions listed on our website are approximate and may vary slightly due to the handmade and production processes involved.
As many of our artworks are made to order, slight natural variations between individual pieces may occur. These are considered part of the character of the work and are not considered defects.
If you are uncertain about colour tones, sizing or finish, we encourage you to contact us at hello@northbeachstudio.com.au before placing your order.

PRICING
All prices displayed on our website are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are inclusive of GST where applicable.
Prices are subject to change without notice. The price applicable to your order is the price displayed at the time your order is placed.
Shipping costs are calculated separately at checkout unless otherwise stated.
In the event of a pricing or product description error due to a typographical mistake or system fault, we reserve the right to cancel or refuse an order placed at the incorrect price. Where payment has already been processed, a full refund will be issued promptly.

ORDERS
Once an order is placed, you will receive an order confirmation email. This confirmation is an acknowledgement of your order, not acceptance of it. We reserve the right to decline or cancel any order before dispatch.
As many of our artworks are produced to order, production may begin shortly after your purchase is completed.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including where products become unavailable, pricing errors occur or fraudulent activity is suspected.
If your order is cancelled after payment has been processed, a full refund will be issued to your original payment method within a reasonable timeframe.

PRODUCTION & DELIVERY
Production and shipping timeframes provided on our website are estimates only and may vary depending on workload, freight availability or circumstances outside our control.
We are not liable for delays caused by freight providers, weather events, public holidays or other external disruptions once an order has been dispatched. However, if an order is lost in transit, please contact us and we will work with our freight partner to locate or resolve the shipment.
Customers are responsible for ensuring all shipping information provided at checkout is accurate. We are not responsible for delays or additional costs resulting from incorrect details supplied at checkout.
For full shipping details, including delivery timeframes and authority to leave, please refer to our Shipping Policy.

RETURNS & EXCHANGES
Please choose carefully before placing your order.
As our artworks are made to order, we do not offer refunds or exchanges for change of mind. If you have a unique circumstance you would like reviewed, please contact hello@northbeachstudio.com.au within 48 hours of receiving your order.
Nothing in this section limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. For full details regarding returns, damaged items and your statutory rights, please refer to our Returns & Exchanges Policy.

If a product has a major problem, you are entitled to choose a replacement or refund. If the problem is minor, we may repair, replace or refund the item within a reasonable time.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.
