Scissor Hub TERMS AND CONDITIONS

FOR BUYING PRODUCTS

AND JUST BROWSING

Welcome to Scissor Hub.

In these terms, we also refer to the Scissor Hub as ‘our’, ‘we’, or ‘us’.

And you are you!

What are these terms about?

These terms apply when you use this website, being https://www.scissorhub.com.au/ and any other websites we operate with the same domain name and a different extension (Website).

These terms also apply when you purchase products through this Website (Products).

If you’re looking for our Privacy Policy, which we will comply with and you also agree to be bound by, you can find it here https://www.scissorhub.com.au/pages/privacy-policy.

How do I read these terms?

We separated these terms into three parts, so they’re easy to read and understand.

Those parts are:

  • PART A: Terms for when you buy Products (applies when you buy)
  • PART B: Terms for when you browse and interact with this Website (applies when you browse)
  • PART C: Liability and warranties, and interpretation provisions (applies to both buying and browsing)

Please let us know if you have any questions about these terms, and don’t continue using this Website or purchase any Products unless you have read and agree to these terms.

I’ve returned to your Website, do I need to read these terms again?

Once you place an Order, the terms accepted at the point of sale will apply to your purchase of those Products. However, please note that we may change any part of these terms at any time by updating this page of the Website, so you may find that different terms apply next time you use this Website or purchase Products.
