This will be obvious, as indicated by the appearance of a padlock on your browser. 

Please note that credit card numbers will not be stored on the web site and will never be made publicly available. All information concerning your order is encrypted and can only be viewed by members of Factory Sound directly responsible for the processing and shipping of your order. 

Stock Availability – Factory Sound will endeavour to supply all items publicised within our online store. Products will be removed from the online store as soon as Factory Sound becomes aware that those items are unavailable. However, there may be unavoidable occasions when:
(i) All or part of your order cannot be immediately fulfilled, or
(ii) All or part of your order cannot be fulfilled at all.

In cases where part of an order cannot be immediately fulfilled, we will dispatch the available items as soon as possible.
If any part of your order cannot be fulfilled at all, we will promptly notify you via email or telephone.
All products with a limited sales period displayed in the Factory Sound online shop will have the end-date clearly shown.

In the event where a product which does not have a specified sales period becomes unavailable due to unexpected or high demand, and that item is ordered by you before Factory Sound has withdrawn that item from the Factory Sound online shop, Factory Sound will not be held responsible for inability to complete that order. We will, however, make every effort to assist you in finding suitable alternatives or processing a refund in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

Special Order Items – Items marked as ‘special order items’ will be ordered especially for you. Once the order has been placed with our relevant supplier, your order cannot be cancelled, nor can any refund be made if you change your mind. 

Expected Delivery Standards – Factory Sound will endeavour to dispatch all orders within 1 working day of receiving the order and endeavour to deliver all orders within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 3-7 business days from receipt of the order. In cases where some items are on backorder, we will maintain open dialogue with you until all items have been received by Factory Sound, shipped and the order has been successfully fulfilled. As such, items may be delivered to you individually and/or separately.

Order consignments will ship via StarTrackExpress, Australia Post, or a variety of local and instant couriers, depending on the best result as determined by Factory Sound logistics.

It is your responsibility as the customer to ensure that the payment and delivery details you provide are accurate and up-to-date. We strongly encourage you to double-check and verify the information you submit with your order to avoid any potential issues with order fulfillment.
