5.1 Your order may be rejected in certain circumstances, such as when the requested Product is unavailable or if there is an error in the price or product description posted on the Site.
5.2 Each order placed for Products through the Site that we accept results in a separate binding agreement between you and us for the supply of those Products. For each order accepted by us, we will:
- Supply the Products in that order to you in accordance with these terms and conditions.
- Send you an email confirmation of that order – though due to the nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee receipt. Please add hello@baboons.in to your contact address book to ensure emails are not sent to SPAM or blocked by your firewall.
5.3 If we reject an order for Products placed through the Site, we will endeavour to notify you of that rejection at the time you place the order or within a reasonable time after you submit your order.

We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers, or distributors.

11. Product Returns - Faulty/Damaged
11.1 The Baboons Returns Policy applies to all purchases of products using the Site and forms part of these terms and conditions. If you consider that a product was delivered to you in a damaged or defective condition, or is otherwise faulty, you should contact us via the contact form here within 7 days of receiving your order. We provide a return shipping label for any products that are faulty.
11.2 All goods returned for assessment under faulty product claim must be clean and dry – items returned wet, dirty, or otherwise unhygienic will not be processed.
11.3 Proof of purchase (dated receipt) is required for all product returns - faulty/damaged claims. You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done, you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion.
12. Returns of Faulty Products
If the problem is major, you are entitled to a replacement or refund for the price paid. Examples of major failure are when the product:
- Has a problem that would have stopped you from buying it had you known about it;
- Is unsafe;
- Is significantly different from the description of the product; or
- Doesn’t do what we said it would do but does not include damage caused by misuse or returns simply due to a change of mind.
If the problem is not major, we may choose to give you a free repair instead of a replacement or refund if this is possible. If we cannot repair the product within a reasonable time, you can choose a refund or replacement. We reserve the right to refuse to provide a refund, repair, or replacement if the problem has arisen because the product was misused by the customer.
13. Termination
13.1 We may immediately suspend, terminate, or limit your access to and use of the Site and (where relevant) your account if you breach these terms and conditions and:

- If there is an emergency.
13.2 We may stop making the Site (or any part of it) available without prior notice. If so, any orders that we have accepted will not be affected unless the Products that have been ordered are no longer available or we are prevented from supplying the Products, in which case we will notify you and we will refund to you all valid payments received by us for those Products.
13.3 You may cancel your account at any time for any reason provided that:
- Any outstanding matters are resolved (such as a suspension on your account); and
- You have paid all outstanding amounts owed by you.
14. Changes to these Terms and Conditions
