Terms & Conditions

1. Legal Protection

Mid North Coast Machines is a registered micro business offering heavy machinery through a dropshipping model. By placing an order through our platform, you agree to abide by the terms outlined here. These Terms & Conditions are in place to ensure fair, clear, and professional transactions for all parties involved.

We take every effort to ensure that product listings, pricing, and shipping information are accurate. However, we reserve the right to correct any errors and to update product availability without notice. In the event of a pricing or listing error, we will notify you before processing your order.

Orders are only considered final once full payment is received and processed. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders at our discretion for any reason, including but not limited to pricing errors, inventory issues, or suspected fraud.

Mid North Coast Machines is not responsible for delays or failures in delivery caused by circumstances beyond our control, such as supply chain issues, customs clearance, or shipping delays.

2. Clear Expectations

We aim to keep our order process, pricing, and communication as transparent as possible. By purchasing through Mid North Coast Machines, you agree to read and understand all product specifications, shipping information, and payment steps outlined on our website.

Orders are considered confirmed once payment is successfully processed and we receive all required shipping information. Machine details, pricing, and customisation options (such as tracks or wheels) are provided on the product page and must be double-checked by the buyer prior to finalising the order.

We encourage customers to reach out with any questions before placing an order. Once the order is confirmed and placed with the supplier, changes may not be possible. While we will always do our best to assist, the responsibility to review your order before payment lies with the buyer.

3. Liability Limitation

Mid North Coast Machines acts as a third-party facilitator between the buyer and the overseas supplier. While we strive to ensure the accuracy of product information and reliability of the supplier, we do not manufacture or physically handle the machines.

As such, we cannot be held liable for manufacturing defects, delays in international shipping, customs clearance issues, or damages incurred during freight. Any warranty or defect claims must be directed to the supplier, and we will assist in facilitating communication where possible.

Our liability is limited to the amount paid for the machine and does not extend to indirect losses, loss of income, or business interruption resulting from issues with the product or delivery.

4. Payment Terms & Refund Policies

All payments must be made in full at the time of placing an order. We use secure third-party payment processors (e.g., Square) to ensure safe handling of your transaction details.

Once an order is confirmed and payment is received, we forward the order details and funds to our supplier to begin processing and international shipment. For this reason, we allow a 3 business day change-of-mind period after payment, during which a full refund may be requested.

After the 3-day window, cancellation may still be requested, but we reserve the right to deduct up to 40% of the order total to cover non-refundable supplier fees, processing time, and administrative costs.

In cases where the machine arrives faulty or significantly different to the description, we will work with the supplier on your behalf to pursue a resolution, which may include replacement parts or a partial refund. Our goal is always to act fairly and ensure your satisfaction within our operational capabilities.

5. Intellectual Property Protection

All content on this website — including product descriptions, specifications, logos, branding elements, page layouts, and media (such as images or videos) — is the intellectual property of Mid North Coast Machines unless otherwise stated.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, republish, or distribute any content from this site without express written permission. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property may result in legal action.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe any content on our site infringes on your rights, please contact us immediately so we can review and address the matter appropriately.

6. Compliance with Laws & Regulations

Mid North Coast Machines is committed to operating in compliance with all applicable Australian laws and regulations, including but not limited to consumer rights, fair trading, and data privacy standards.

We ensure that our pricing, advertising, and transaction processes align with Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Customers are entitled to their statutory rights, and our terms do not override these protections.

By using our website and placing an order, you agree to comply with all local laws and regulations relevant to your purchase and use of our products. It is your responsibility to ensure that the machinery is permitted and appropriate for use in your area.

7. Dispute Resolution

At Mid North Coast Machines, we aim to resolve all concerns quickly and fairly. If you have a problem with a product or service, please contact us directly at mnc-machines@outlook.com within 7 business days of receiving your order.

We will work with you in good faith to address your concerns and come to a reasonable resolution. If we are unable to resolve the matter informally, both parties agree to attempt mediation before pursuing legal action.

Any formal disputes shall be governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and settled in the appropriate local courts or mediation services as required.

8. Trust & Professionalism

At Mid North Coast Machines, we take pride in providing a trustworthy and transparent experience. Whether you’re ordering your first machine or your fifth, we want you to feel confident that you're dealing with a reputable small business that values honesty and fairness.

Our Terms & Conditions reflect our commitment to clear communication, accountability, and customer satisfaction. We aim to treat every order with the same level of care and professionalism we would expect ourselves.

Thank you for choosing to support an Australian micro business. Your trust means everything.
