Terms of service
ChilliBOM Terms of Service – The Highlights
These points are included in the full terms below. We’ve included some of the highlights here
- By purchasing from ChilliBOM you are agreeing to all conditions set out below
ChilliBOM Subscriptions
- ChilliBOM offers a subscription service. We deliver until you tell us not to, the exception to this are gift subscriptions which are not automatically renewed at the end of their service period.
- You can deactivate a subscription service at any time. There is no minimum term. If you cancel a 6 or 12-month pre-paid subscription service, you will continue to receive any remaining deliveries owing under the original subscription until the end of that period, you cannot receive a pro-rata refund.
- The cut-off for subscription adjustments (cancellations and address changes) made through the online customer login or via email is by midnight of the 10th of the month of the next delivery.
- All of our subscription boxes are the same. As much as we’d love to, we do not currently customise individual boxes based on preference or dietary requirements.
General sales through the ChilliBOM Hot Sauce Store
- ChilliBOM offers regular sales through the ChilliBOM Hot sauce store. Once an order is received ChilliBOM will pack and send that order within a reasonable time to the supplied addressee.
- If for some reason a product that is ordered is not able to be supplied, ChilliBOM will contact you offering a replacement of equal or greater value or offer you a full refund on that item.
General Shipping
- Delivery is offered within Australia and within select countries internationally
- Delivery will happen within a reasonable time from leaving ChilliBOM HQ and will be subject to third party carrier delivery schedules.
- Ownership of the goods will transfer to you once we have delivered to our third-party carrier.
- If a re-delivery is required at an alternative time through no fault of ChilliBOM or our logistics partners an additional fee may be charged.
Subscription Service Shipping
- Delivery of your ChilliBOM subscription happens 4 times per year on or around 15 February, 15 May, 15 August and 15 November, this is when the products leave ChilliBOM, these dates may change slightly dependent on what day of the week these dates fall (eg Saturday, Sunday or if there is a public holiday).
- The exception to this is with your first subscription box, which will be sent to you as soon as you place your order if that order happens outside of the 1st to the 15th of any given delivery month. So, to try to explain this one in more practical terms: say if you order on the 2nd Aug then your order will be delayed a few days to the 15th Aug so that you will receive the subscription box when everyone else does. But if you place your order on 28th Aug then your first box will be sent straight away. In both of these cases you will receive your second delivery (if applicable) on the 15 November when everyone else does.
