Our Terms & Conditions
Welcome to Shoparachi. We're thrilled to have you here. We aim to make our Terms as easy to read and understand as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
About these terms
These terms govern the ordering, purchasing, and delivery of products through our website and constitute an agreement between you and Shoparachi (Terms). By using our website, you agree to and accept these Terms.
Important Information
These Terms are crucial, and we encourage you to read them carefully. Below are some specific provisions we want you to be aware of:
Your consumer rights
You have rights as a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law regarding our goods, which cannot be excluded. These Terms do not intend to limit or exclude your consumer rights.
Our liability to you
To the extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, our liability is either excluded or limited by these Terms. Here's a breakdown:
- We exclude all implied terms and warranties.
- We're not liable for any indirect or consequential loss.
- We're not liable for any loss, theft, or damage to products that occur after delivery to you or an ATL (Authority To Leave) address.
- We're not liable for any loss resulting from fraudulent use of your credit/debit card, unless our acts or omissions caused the loss.
- If we're liable to you for any losses, our liability will be reduced or limited if you caused or contributed to those losses. Our liability will also be limited to the total dollar amount of the products purchased by you, except where our acts or omissions caused or contributed to those losses. Refer to the sections on Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and Disclaimer and limitation of liability for more details.
Changes to these Terms
We reserve the right to change these Terms periodically. However, the Terms applicable at the time you place your order will govern that order.
Variations
You cannot change these Terms without our written consent. We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time. Any changes will apply from the time they are published on our website, but will not affect any orders already placed. We encourage you to read these Terms and contact us if you have any questions.
Your order
After placing your order and processing your payment, we will send you an order confirmation by email. This email does not guarantee product availability but confirms receipt of your order request. Your order constitutes an offer to purchase, which we accept by dispatching your product(s) and sending you an email confirming dispatch.
We reserve the right to accept or cancel your order for various reasons, including but not limited to breaches of these Terms, product unavailability, errors in price or description, payment or address issues, fraud prevention, or as otherwise outlined in these Terms. If we cancel your order, we will notify you by email and offer a full refund or store credit.

All prices displayed on our website are in Australian dollars and include GST. Payments are processed in Australian dollars. We accept various payment methods, including credit card, PayPal, and others displayed during checkout.

Shipping Promotions

Payment security
We use a third-party payment processor (PayPal Braintree) to handle transactions securely. Your payment information is collected and processed by them in accordance with their privacy policy and terms. We do not permanently store or have access to your full payment details. We may collect bank account details for refunds, handled according to our privacy policy. We are not liable for damages or losses resulting from fraudulent card use, except where caused by our acts or omissions.
Delivery
Delivery Fees
Fees vary based on product size, weight, quantity, origin, and destination. Delivery estimates are provided during checkout. Changes to delivery details may incur additional charges. If high freight charges apply, we may contact you to discuss further fees or cancel the order, with a full refund issued if canceled.
Our Products
We strive to accurately describe all products on our website. However, errors may occur, and we reserve the right to correct any inaccuracies at any time.
Some products are handmade or made from natural materials, leading to slight variations between the product image(s) and the received product. Any such discrepancies will be noted on the product listing. While we aim for accurate color representation, please be aware that colors may appear differently on various displays.
We reserve the right to remove products or edit content on our website at any time. Such changes will apply from the time they are published on our website, but will not affect placed orders.
We utilize various technologies, including generative artificial intelligence, to enhance website content and features. While we strive for accuracy and reliability, we cannot guarantee absolute precision.
Our website is continually optimized, with experiments and personalized shopping experiences. As a result, each customer's experience may vary.

Your Rights under the Australian Consumer Law:
As a consumer, you have rights protected under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). These rights include guarantees that the goods you purchase will:
- Be of acceptable quality and not faulty or unsafe.
- Match their description.
- Be fit for their intended purpose.
Nothing in our terms is intended to limit or exclude your rights as a consumer under the ACL. You are entitled to:
- A replacement or refund for a major failure.
- Compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage caused by our products.
- Have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality, and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability:
We exclude all implied terms and warranties of any kind relating to our terms, except where expressly provided or where required by the ACL.
We will not be liable in contract, tort, or otherwise for any loss, damage, costs, or expenses, including consequential, special, incidental, or exemplary damages, or for indirect or economic losses suffered or incurred by you, except where required by law.
Our liability to you for losses arising out of or in connection with these terms is limited to the total dollar amount of the products purchased by you, except where your losses are caused or contributed to by our acts or omissions.
Cancellations:
You may cancel all or part of an order before it reaches the dispatch processing stage, subject to our discretion. Once an order reaches this stage, cancellations or changes are only possible with our agreement. We aim to process orders quickly, so requests for cancellations should be made promptly. After products have been shipped, they cannot be canceled. Products described as 'made to order' cannot be canceled under any circumstances.
Exchange:
We do not offer exchanges. Simply return items following our Returns Policy and place a new order.
Our Rights:
We reserve the right to refuse a return if we cannot reasonably verify that you purchased the product from us or if we are not responsible for the damage according to our Faults and Damages policy.
Warranties
We may offer warranties against defects or structural issues for selected products for specific periods (e.g., 1, 3, 5, or 10 years) from the purchase date.
These warranties apply only to products purchased from Shoparachi if the product description expressly states the warranty's applicability. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for warranty details, exclusions, and claim instructions.
Manufacturer Warranties
Some products may come with separate manufacturer warranties, indicated on the product page. In case of issues covered by a manufacturer's warranty, contacting the manufacturer directly may result in faster resolution, as they have dedicated support centers and access to detailed product knowledge and spare parts.
If you prefer our assistance or are unsatisfied with the manufacturer's resolution, please contact us for further support.
Gift Cards
Customers can purchase digital Gift Cards from our website. Upon purchase, we will email the Gift Card to the recipient's provided email address, including redemption instructions. Once redeemed, the Gift Card amount will appear in the recipient's 'My Account' section.
Gift Cards can only be used for purchases on our website. If a purchase is less than the Gift Card amount, the remaining balance will be stored for future use. If a purchase exceeds the Gift Card amount, the recipient must pay the excess using another payment method. Refunds for orders made with Gift Cards will be refunded as store credit.
Gift Cards expire 3 years from the purchase date, per Australian Consumer Law. They are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. Lost or stolen Gift Cards will not be replaced or refunded.
