4. PRE-ORDER

HAMILTON offers the possibility to pre-order products before their commercial launch and distribution on the market ("HAMILTON Pre-order Product") on its own e-commerce website. Pre-ordering means that you reserve a HAMILTON Pre-Order Product and pay a deposit or the full price of the HAMILTON Pre-Order Product that will be available at a future date. Placing a Pre-order provides you a priority access to the HAMILTON Pre-Order Product as soon as it becomes available.

This option is limited to specific HAMILTON products only. When available, the Pre-order option is expressly mentioned on the HAMILTON product webpage of each relevant HAMILTON product.

Pre-orders are subject to Sales Conditions and the following terms:

4.1 We may at our sole discretion decide for which HAMILTON product the Pre-order option may apply.

4.2 The HAMILTON Pre-order Products are only available in limited quantities or available during a limited time. You acknowledge that we may not be able to fulfil your Pre-order due to limited quantities or the limited offer in time.

4.3 Pre-order is limited to one (1) HAMILTON Pre-order Product per Pre-order, and shall be separate from any other product purchase.

4.4 Your Pre-order constitutes an offer to purchase under these Sales Conditions.

4.5 In order to submit your Pre-order, the deposit (Including VAT, and shipping costs if any) or the full price (including VAT, and shipping cost if any) indicated on the checkout webpage must be paid immediately.

4.6 You will receive from us an automated acknowledgement of receipt of your online Pre-order.

4.7 We will confirm acceptance of your offer to purchase in a separate communication, by sending you a Pre-order acceptance confirmation by email and this will constitute a binding contract between you and us.

4.8 In this email confirming acceptance of your offer we will inform you about the following:

The (expected) date when the HAMILTON Pre-order Product is available for shipping;
The fix deadline within which you have to pay the open balance of the HAMILTON Pre-order Product price, if any;
The instructions on how to pay any remaining amount due. Payment shall be made through your HAMILTON account, through a link to an online secured payment platform that we may provide you with.

4.9 The payment of a deposit or the full upfront payment does not entitle you to any sort of discount or interest.

4.10 The failure to pay in time the open balance of the HAMILTON Pre-order Product price will automatically lead to the cancellation of your Pre-order.

4.11 The HAMILTON Pre-order Product will only be shipped after the full payment is received.

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1 Subject to 5.3 and 5.4, the price of any product will be as displayed on this website from time to time. When you buy a product from this website, you will have to pay the price displayed (which is inclusive of GST at the current rates) together with delivery costs (except where delivery is expressly stated to be for free or included in the price of the product), which will be added to the total amount due, as set out in our Delivery and Returns Policy.

5.2 Prices are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders already placed (whether or not we have sent you an order confirmation).

5.3 Our site contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the prices may be incorrectly stated. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of a product is less than our stated price; we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the product to you. If the correct price of a product is higher than the price stated on the website, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

5.4 We are under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an order confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mispricing.

5.5 Payment can be made by the payment methods as detailed in the ordering process. We will display the price that you have to pay on the order confirmation. We will not charge your payment method until we dispatch your order.

5.6 All card/account holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the payment provider. We may share the card/account holder's personal information with such third parties as are necessary to enable us to do such checks. If the payment provider refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

5.7 Payment must be made before supply of the products. We will deduct full payment from your payment method just before we ship the products. We may suspend delivery of the products until full payment is received. We may terminate the contract between you and us with immediate written notice if you fail, without good reason, to pay on time.

6.1 We will confirm the shipping date (including tracking number) by issuing you a shipping notice. Delivery will take place within 5 business days after the date of order unless specifically otherwise agreed at the time of making the order.

6.2 The place of delivery is as stated in the order confirmation. We will deliver within Australia only and excluding its External Territories. For practical reasons, we may deliver several products from the same order by instalments, which we will communicate to you with the shipping notice.

6.3 If we cannot meet the estimated delivery date indicated in the order confirmation and the revised delivery date will exceed 5 business days from the original date of order, then we will contact you to advise you of a proposed new date for delivery. If you refuse the revised delivery date and we are unable to deliver the product(s) within 5 business days from the original date of your order or prior to the specifically agreed delivery date if applicable, then you may cancel the order without charge and obtain a full refund. Where the products are delivered in instalments, then, unless expressly otherwise agreed, all of these instalments will be delivered within 5 business days of placing the order.

7. PASSING OF OWNERSHIP AND RISK

7.1 Ownership of the products will pass to you upon the later of receipt by us of full payment of all sums due in respect of the products (including delivery charges) or delivery to you of the products. We may recover any products supplied at any time prior to ownership passing if you are in breach of these conditions of sale.
