- are at least 18 years old, or using the site under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms and Conditions, you must immediately stop using the website and refrain from placing any orders. Your continued use of the site, including visiting product pages, adding items to your cart, or completing checkout, constitutes ongoing acceptance of these Terms as updated from time to time.
3. Account Creation and Security
To access certain features, such as managing orders, saving favourites, or viewing personalised recommendations, you may need to register a Marketempo account. When creating and maintaining your account, you agree to:
- provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and checkout;
- keep your login details, including your password, confidential and secure;
- promptly update your details if they change, including contact, billing, or delivery information; and

4. Product Information
Marketempo aims to provide comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date information for all listed products to support informed shopping decisions. This includes, where applicable:
- detailed product descriptions, key features, and specifications;
- clear pricing in Australian dollars (AUD), including any applicable promotions;
- availability indicators, such as in-stock, limited stock, or pre-order status; and
- customer reviews and ratings, where submitted by verified purchasers.
While we strive for accuracy, product images, colours, dimensions, and other details may appear differently depending on your device, display settings, or supplier updates. We do not guarantee that every description or specification is error-free and reserve the right to correct any inaccuracies, omissions, or typographical errors without prior notice.
Listing a product on the site does not guarantee permanent availability. We may limit quantities, withdraw items, or update collections across Electronics, Fashion, Home, Lifestyle, and other Categories at our discretion.
5. Ordering and Payment
Orders placed through Marketempo are offers to purchase products in accordance with these Terms and any additional information displayed during checkout. An order is not considered accepted until we confirm it via a formal order confirmation communication.
During checkout, we provide clear instructions to guide you through reviewing your cart, confirming delivery details, and selecting available payment methods. Our platform uses secure payment gateways designed to protect your transaction and personal information.
By submitting an order, you agree that:
- all information you provide is truthful, accurate, and authorised for use;
- you are authorised to use the selected payment method; and
- you will pay all charges incurred, including any applicable taxes, fees, or delivery costs as displayed at checkout.
If we are unable to process or accept an order (for example, due to stock limitations, pricing errors, or payment issues), we may cancel the order in full or in part and will take reasonable steps to notify you and, where applicable, arrange a refund of any amounts already paid for the affected items.
6. Shipping and Delivery
Marketempos shipping policies are designed to provide clear expectations regarding delivery options, timeframes, and associated fees. During checkout, you will be presented with available shipping methods for your location, along with estimated delivery windows and postage or handling charges in Australian dollars (AUD).
Estimated delivery times are indicative only and may be affected by factors outside our reasonable control, such as carrier delays, public holidays, or unexpected disruptions. While we work with trusted delivery partners, we cannot guarantee delivery dates. Ownership and risk in the products generally pass to you upon delivery to the address you provide.
You are responsible for ensuring that delivery details are accurate and that someone is available to accept the shipment where required. Additional redelivery or storage fees imposed by the carrier due to incorrect addresses or unsuccessful delivery attempts may be passed on to you.
7. Returns and Refunds
We offer an accessible returns framework that is designed to be fair, transparent, and consistent with Australian consumer protections. Our returns approach outlines eligibility criteria, processes, and conditions for refunds or exchanges.
Subject to applicable consumer laws, products may be eligible for return or exchange where, for example:
- an item is faulty, damaged on arrival, or not as described;
- an incorrect item was supplied; or
- a return is otherwise permitted under our published returns guidelines.
To facilitate timely resolution, we may request proof of purchase, photos of the product and packaging, and a description of the issue. Approved refunds are generally processed back to the original payment method, subject to processing times of your financial institution or payment provider.
Some items may have specific return conditions due to hygiene, safety, or supplier policies. Full details, including any exclusions or time limits, are set out in our dedicated returns information, which should be read alongside these Terms when considering a purchase.
8. Privacy and Data Protection
Marketempo is committed to handling your personal information responsibly and in compliance with applicable Australian privacy laws. We collect, store, and use your data to support secure account management, order processing, customer support, and the delivery of a streamlined, personalised shopping experience.
Details about what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you are set out in our separate Privacy Policy. By using this website, you acknowledge and agree that your personal data will be handled in accordance with that policy, including in connection with secure checkout, communication regarding your orders, and site optimisation.
