Terms & Conditions of Sale

By ordering an item from Docopro, you agree to the terms and conditions listed below.

General

Property in goods supplied remains with Docopro and title will not pass to the buyer until receipt of full payment. In the case of credit card payments, this occurs when funds are transferred to our account. In the case where payment has been charged against a Templates Subscriber’s credit account, this is when payment has been received against the relevant invoice.

In the event of default, Docopro reserves the right to recover its property to the full extent permitted by law.

Goods are supplied inclusive of GST. Overseas clients may claim exemption. In the case of goods supplied to clients not domiciled in Australia, any local taxes, duties or other liabilities are the purchaser's responsibility.

All VISA, MasterCard and American Express payments are subject to a surcharge. We reserve the right to make changes to this surcharge or to extend the surcharge to other methods of payment.

Purchasers acknowledge that all web site purchases made with Docopro are transacted in the State of Victoria, Australia, and as such are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria. Your rights as a consumer under the Trade Practices Act are not affected by these terms and conditions.

Docopro may amend these terms and conditions at any time, and any such amendment will be effective immediately.
