All products are custom made to order and are only processed once your order has been confirmed and payment received. Processing times vary depending on the product. Estimated timeframes are noted on each product page but are indicative only and may vary depending on supplier availability, ingredient sourcing, or other circumstances beyond our control. Should delays occur, we will notify you as soon as practicable.

Prices listed on a quote remain valid for 28 days from the date of issue; once expired, a new quote must be requested by you.
4. Orders
Placing an order on the Site constitutes an offer by you to purchase the selected product at the price shown, or if quoted separately, at the quoted price (including delivery and other applicable charges). Receipt of an electronic order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order.
By placing an order, you agree to pay for and accept delivery of the goods ordered. Artisan Chemist reserves the right to accept or reject any order for any reason, including (without limitation) product unavailability, pricing or description error, order inaccuracies, prior refusal of orders, or suspected breach of these Terms or related policies.

If we need to verify, modify, or cancel an order, we may contact you using the email address, billing address, or phone number provided. Requests to amend or cancel orders may not be accommodated if production has already commenced or materials have been prepared.
We may, at our discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, household, or order. These restrictions may include orders placed under the same account, credit card, billing address, or shipping address. Orders appearing to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors may be refused.
If an item is required urgently, it is the Client’s responsibility to notify us at the time of ordering. We will advise whether faster processing or dispatch is possible, although this cannot be guaranteed and must be confirmed by Artisan Chemist prior to order acceptance.
We will endeavour to fulfil your order as specified in these Terms, except:
(a) where an incorrect or incomplete delivery address has been provided;
(b) when incorrect payment details, including credit card details, are supplied;

We reserve the right to verify identity before processing any update or releasing information.
Where relevant, you may be required to provide medical history or health-related information to enable the safe preparation and supply of compounded medicines or related Services.

8. Gift Cards
Gift cards may be redeemed online only. Purchases are deducted from the gift card balance up to its balance. Any unused balance will be available for a later purchase. If an order exceeds the amount of the gift card, the balance must be paid with a credit card or other form of payment. Gift cards cannot be used to purchase other gift cards. Gift cards cannot be reloaded, resold, transferred for value, or applied to any other account, except to the extent required by law.
It may take up to one hour for your gift card to be activated. You will receive an email when the activation is complete, please be sure to check your spam folder. If you require further assistance, please contact us.
Gift cards are to be treated as cash. Defaced, mutilated, altered, lost, or stolen cards will not be replaced, refunded or redeemed. We are also not responsible for cards that are used without authorisation, so please safeguard your gift card and keep the redemption code secret.
You are liable for all transactions on your card except to the extent to which there has been fraud or negligence by us or any of our employees. Artisan Chemist is not responsible and will not redeem the balance on gift cards purchased from any unauthorised third party, such as eBay or Craigslist. We have the right to request alternative forms of payment if a fraudulently obtained gift card is used to make purchases on the Site.
Gift Card balance must be redeemed before the expiry date shown on the card. Gift card balance has an expiry of 36 months (3 years). It is the responsibility of the gift card recipient to use the full value of a gift card before the expiry date. Unused balance upon expiry of a gift card will not be refunded or credited.
Artisan Chemist gift cards sold on our Site are issued by Shopify Inc on behalf of Artisan Chemist. Gift cards and the purchase, use or acceptance on the Site are subject to Shopify’s Gift Card Service Terms (available at: www.shopify.com/legal/terms-gift-cards) in addition to the Terms described here, and our Privacy Policy. Artisan Chemist may provide gift card purchasers with information about the redemption status of gift cards in its sole discretion.
9. Delivery
For current information about delivery costs, timelines, and services, please visit our Delivery & Returns page.
Each purchase will be posted as a separate order and cannot be combined.
We use express delivery services so that compounded medicines reach you quickly and do not spend unnecessary time in warehouses or transit. For this reason, we are unable to offer standard postage options such as parcel post.
Delivery estimates are based on information provided to us by third-party delivery services and are subject to change. Artisan Chemist cannot guarantee delivery within a specific timeframe, as delays may occur due to courier network congestion, weather events, or other circumstances beyond our control.
Once an order has been despatched, ownership and risk in the goods pass to the Client to the extent permitted by law. From that point, responsibility for the parcel rests with the courier or postal service. Artisan Chemist accepts no liability for loss, delay, theft, damage, or redirection occurring after despatch. Nothing in this section limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
It is the Client’s responsibility to contact the relevant courier directly for any post-despatch enquiries or requests, including but not limited to redirection, re-delivery, rebooking, or collection arrangements. Any costs, fees, or charges arising from such requests are the sole responsibility of the Client. Artisan Chemist is unable to authorise, manage, or guarantee any changes once the parcel has been collected by the delivery provider.
We will provide tracking information and reasonable assistance to help you contact the delivery service; however, Artisan Chemist cannot intervene in or control courier operations once the parcel is in transit.
Parcels require a signature on receipt. We recommend providing a work address for delivery if no one is home during business hours. Where no one is available to sign, a collection card will be left with instructions for collection during normal business hours. At this time, we are unable to offer an “Authority to Leave (ATL)” option at checkout.
Artisan Chemist is not responsible for delivery errors resulting from incorrect or incomplete address details supplied by the Client. Orders returned due to incorrect address, failure to collect, or refusal to accept delivery will incur re-delivery and handling fees payable before re-shipment.
10. Returns and Exchange Policy
Returns and exchanges will only be accepted in accordance with our Returns & Exchange Policy.
Refunds, where approved, will be processed to your original method of payment via our secure payment provider. Refunds cannot be issued in cash, to a different card, or via any alternative payment method. Refund processing times may vary depending on your financial institution, but generally take between 3-5 business days to settle.
