Use of your personal information submitted via the Website is governed by our Privacy Policy.
The Website and our Apps are provided by BookASalon Services Pty Ltd ACN 611 705 607 (“BookWell”, “us”, “we” or “our” for short). “You” and “your” means you as the user of our Website or our App. “these Terms” means these Website & App Terms of Use (as amended from time to time).
The Website and our Apps’ main function is to aggregate, and provide a centralised booking point for, selected third party goods and services providers who wish to offer their goods and services for sale via our Website and our Apps (“Vendors”).
The content and third party offers on our Website and our Apps are provided by us on an ‘as is’ basis and use of our Website and our Apps is at your own risk. We (nor any of our respective directors, officers, employees or agents) do not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency or reliability of the information contained on our Website or our Apps (including in relation to products or services offered by third parties).
Please note that these Terms do not govern the relationship between BookWell and our Vendors. If you are an existing Vendor, please check the Vendor Terms of Business provided to you upon sign up. If you are not yet a Vendor but would like to apply to BookWell to become one of our Vendors, please contact us.
Access to our Website and our Apps is provided to you on a temporary basis. We reserve the right to withdraw or amend our Website or our Apps (and any products or services offered on them) without notice to you. We will not be liable to you if for any reason our Website, our Apps or any part of it or them is unavailable at any time or for any period.
Please note that we only provide our Website and our Apps for domestic and private use, and you agree not to use our Website or our App for any commercial or business purposes unless or until we have approved you as a Vendor.
We update our Website and our Apps from time to time and so may change the content at any time without notice to you. We reserve the right to withdraw, vary or suspend the Website or our Apps (or any part of them) at any time without notice to you.
You are responsible for:
We specifically reserve the right to withdraw access to our Website and/or our App and/or cancel any order in the event that you fail any credit or fraud prevention check or where we reasonably suspect fraud or money laundering by you or someone using your account.
Our Website and/or Apps will enable you to make bookings for certain services offered by our Vendors from time to time (a “Booking”).
Booking criteria: You acknowledge that certain services offered by our Vendors may be tailored to suit particular circumstances or may be based on certain criteria (ie. a service offering by a Vendor that is a hair salon may be offered to persons with ‘short’ hair only). You must not make a Booking where you are aware that your circumstances do not meet any criteria or conditions associated with the particular service requested in the Booking. You agree that each of our Vendors reserve the right to reject a Booking or otherwise modify a Booking if, in their reasonable opinion, any criteria or conditions associated with the particular service requested in the Booking are not met.
Compiling your Booking: Once you select the service you wish to book from a Vendor, you will be given the opportunity to submit your Booking by clicking or selecting the “proceed”, “place my order”, “checkout” or similar button. It is important that you check all the information that you enter and correct any errors before clicking or selecting this button as once you do so we will process your Booking and errors made by you cannot be corrected by us. Once your Booking has been accepted, this represents an agreement between you and the Vendor and the Vendor has sole responsibility for the Booking and to perform the service to which the Booking relates. You must resolve any dispute regarding your Booking directly with the Vendor.
Amending or cancelling your Booking: Once you submit your Booking and your payment has been authorised, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Booking via our Website and/or Apps. If you wish to change or cancel your Booking, you may contact the Vendor directly or alternatively contact us at support@bookwell.com.au and we will attempt to contact the Vendor in order to communicate your requests. We do not guarantee that we will be able to reach the Vendor or that the Vendor will agree to your request.
Payment authorisation: Where any payment you make is not authorised, your Booking will not be processed by or communicated to the relevant Vendor.
Processing your Booking and Vendor rejections: On receipt of your Booking, we will process it by sending it to the relevant Vendor and we will notify you by email that your Booking is being processed. Any confirmation page that you may see on our Website or via our Apps and any Booking confirmation e-mail that you may receive each merely indicate that your Booking has been received and is being processed by us, and does not necessarily mean that your Booking has been accepted by the Vendor. Vendors have the discretion to reject Bookings at any time because they are too busy or for any other reason. We encourage all our Vendors to accept all Bookings and to communicate any rejection promptly, and we will notify you (generally by email) as soon as reasonably practicable if a Vendor rejects your Booking.
Taxes: Prices for services offered by our Vendors via our Website or our Apps will be as quoted on the Website in Australian dollars. These prices include any applicable taxes (unless otherwise stated).
Incorrect pricing: It is possible that our Website or our Apps may include incorrect prices. This could be due to an error by us or by our Vendors. You will not be obliged to pay a higher price for a Booking than what was advertised on our Website or our Apps. However, we cannot guarantee that the Vendor will accept your Booking where the Booking either includes incorrect pricing and your Booking may be rejected.
Payment methods: Payment for Bookings may be made by an accepted credit or debit card through the Website or via our Apps or in cash or (subject to the Vendor’s discretion) debit/credit card to the Vendor at your appointment date/time.
Card payments: If you pay by credit or debit card, you may be required to show the card to the Vendor at the time of appointment as proof of identification and so that they can check that the card conforms with the receipt data for your Booking. Please note that from time to time there may be delays with the processing of card payments and transactions such that the relevant amount is not immediately or promptly deducted from your bank account or charged to your credit or debit card.
Rejected Bookings: Once you have submitted a Booking that you are paying for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, you will be charged the full amount of your Booking. If your Booking is subsequently rejected by the Vendor or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will refund the relevant amount to you. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that neither we nor the relevant Vendor will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.
