2. PLACING AN ORDER
2.1 King Living reserves the right to accept or object in its absolute discretion any order, or part of an order, which it may receive from you.
2.2 When a part payment (deposit) is received by King Living relating to your purchase of the Products, the order becomes immediately binding on King Living and you:

(b) become liable to pay the balance of the price for the Products in accordance with these Terms.
2.3 When placing an order and paying a part payment (deposit), you acknowledge and agree that you have satisfied yourself that the Products meet your requirements and are suitable and sufficient for your intended purpose in all respects.

3.4 If we discover an error in the price or payment of any Products, which you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled. If the order is cancelled and you have already paid for the Products, you will receive a full refund.
4. PAYMENT
4.1 A part payment (deposit) is required at the time of placing the order, except where you purchase a clearance item. We will notify you of the part payment (deposit) required before we process the order.

5. RISK AND TITLE
5.1 All risk in Products passes to you on delivery. Delivery occurs:
(a) where we deliver the Products to the delivery address, when the Products are unloaded at the delivery address; or
(b) where you nominate to arrange for the Products to be collected from a King Living warehouse or showroom, just prior to the Products being loaded onto transportation at the King Living warehouse.
5.2 You acknowledge that the Risk and Title provisions set out above create a security interest (as defined in the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 ("PPSA")) in all Products that have not been paid for in full. You agree that you will, at King Living’s request, promptly execute any documents, provide all necessary information and do anything else required by us to ensure that the security interest is perfected in accordance with the PPSA with such priority as King Living requires, including executing any variations to these Terms.
5.3 You waive your rights under the PPSA to receive a copy of any verification statement otherwise required by the PPSA. If applicable, so far as permitted by section 107 of the PPSA you agree that you will have no rights under sections 114, 116, 120, 121, 125, 126, 127, 129 and 131 and 133 of the PPSA, including the right to receive any notices. You agree, if applicable, that King Living may exercise its rights under sections 109 and 120 concurrently, and that repossession and retention of goods under sections 120-123 will immediately extinguish any rights and/or interests you may have in the Products and that King Living may allocate any monies it receives to debts, charges and expenses in any priority it determines.
6. DELIVERY
6.1 Any time quoted for delivery is an estimate only. The estimated delivery date will be arranged with you in advance, however, you must not defer the estimated delivery date without King Living’s prior written consent.
6.2 You are liable for payment of all delivery charges, including any additional charges incurred as a result of difficulties with access (unless the failure to deliver on that date is due to King Living’s fault).
6.3 You must ensure correct delivery address details are provided to King Living at the time of order placement and notify King Living in advance if there will be difficulties accessing the delivery address (e.g. staircases or narrow passages). You are responsible for ensuring there is adequate access and entry to the premises at the delivery address to allow for the delivery and layout of the Products. We cannot deliver to PO Boxes as you must be available in person to accept the delivery of your order.
6.4 Products will only be delivered if a person aged over 18 years and who is able to accept delivery is present at the delivery address at the time of delivery. Should:
(a) an appropriate person not be available to accept delivery on the pre-arranged delivery date and time; or
(b) there be no space available to lay out the Products at the delivery address,
and delivery cannot be made, a card will be left and you will be responsible for organising collection or redelivery of the Products. You may also be charged for transport, re-delivery, storage and removal of existing furniture, whichever is applicable to your circumstances.
6.5 We reserve the right to make part deliveries of any order. Failure to deliver all the Products you have ordered at any one time shall not invalidate these Terms insofar as any part deliveries are concerned.

7.2 King Living may assist you with arranging this. If you do not attend to these matters immediately on expiry of the Delivery Period, King Living will terminate the contract for sale of the Products by notice to you and treat your failure to accept delivery on the above terms as your cancellation of the original order.
