1. PRICES AND SPECIFICATIONS

Prices, specifications, availability and terms of offers may change without notice.

Despite our best efforts and proof reading, a tiny number of items may contain pricing or typography errors. Correct pricing is validated and confirmed at the time your order is placed and processed.

All prices on the PhotoPlankton’s website are displayed in Australian dollars ($AUD).

All forms of reproduction or manipulation, copying, downloading and printing of any image without permission are strictly prohibited and can be liable to legal action.

2. IMAGE & PRINT QUALITY

While we do our best to give the most accurate representation of all images on our website, there may be slight variations in the actual print due to the brightness and colour settings on individual monitors.

3. PAYMENT OPTIONS

For online payment processing, we prefer using PayPal which provides an easy and secure payment method. Aside from PayPal, we also accept other methods of payments including those that use either Visa or Master Card. 

4. DELIVERY AND SHIPPING

Once your order has been placed we will process your details and place an order with our printing suppliers. As all printing orders are produced upon request the typical wait time for an unframed print is 5 business days plus delivery, and 15 business days plus delivery for an acrylic wall mount, acrylic block and aluminium panels. For all other product related orders please allow for up to 5 business days plus delivery. If there are any unexpected delays we will notify you.

We strive to ensure that the shipping charges calculated at the time of payment are accurate, however there may be situations where the calculation may be subject to slight variances. 

Finished prints are sent via Australia Post and we personally handle your work to the collection point. Your print can also be tracked – we will send you the details once dispatched. Please ensure you enter the correct delivery address as goods which are returned to us as undeliverable will incur a re-dispatch fee. Freight charges paid for the original dispatch are not refundable.

You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense that you incur as a result of postage or import taxes into the country in which the product will be sent to.

All our images are printed on high quality fine art paper and, thus, require special care. With regards to the prints we strongly recommend leaving the prints in the protective tube and taking them directly to your chosen framer who can best take care of the delicate prints. For any other products the care instructions should be followed as provided with each product on the website. 

We ensure that all our products are thoroughly checked for quality before they are shipped. Hence, we will not be held responsible for any damage done to of the products after they are received by our clients.
