Australian Orders*

Please allow an additional 2-3 days to regional or remote areas.

International Orders*

Etiko can ship to any address in the world. When you place an order, shipping will be calculated at the checkout depending on the items you have selected and the country for delivery. The prices on our website are based on AUD including GST (Goods and Services Tax). GST is only payable by Australian customers – this will be removed from your order at checkout.

Please note that for orders made outside Australia, we may request manual verification of your order (i.e. a screenshot of your bank statement). This is to ensure that your order is a valid one, and to help us reduce fraudulent orders through our website.

When you purchase a gift certificate online, you will be asked to provide the intended recipients email address, a personal message and the dollar value you wish to purchase. Once you have paid for the Gift Certificate, the recipient will receive an email including a unique code for them to use online. They simply log on to our website, select their chosen items and enter the certificate code at the checkout.

If the recipient does not receive the email, we recommend that they first check their spam folder, as it may have been filtered by their email server. If they still cannot locate the certificate, please contact us on (03) 9752 3082 or email us at admin@etiko.com.au

Gift certificates cannot be exchanged for cash and are not refundable.

Customers may choose to register their details on the Etiko website when they make a purchase. New customers will be sent an email with an introductory offer and a discount code to be applied to their next order. The code is applicable to full price items only and cannot be applied to pre-order items. The code is one use only per customer.

If you find that you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, you may return your items for a full refund or exchange, as long as it meets the following criteria:

• The item(s) are clean, unworn and in a resalable condition
• Contact is made with Etiko within 30 days of order receive date. You can call us on (03) 9752 3082 or email us at admin@etiko.com.au

Customers are responsible for covering the cost of posting their order back. Etiko will cover the cost of return shipping if the return is a result of our error, for example an item you received was not correct to what you ordered or was defective in some way.

Please note that for hygiene reasons, underwear is non-returnable unless there is a manufacturing defect. Clearance items are non-returnable and non-refundable unless they are faulty.

Returning your Item

Please send your return products back to Etiko’s office/shop front including:

• A note containing your order number and personal details
• Advise what items you wish to exchange/refund and what you would prefer the product to be exchanged with
• We will need to arrange payment from you for return shipping. Please email us at admin@etiko.com.au for the amount to be paid and any other details.

Address for returns:

Etiko Returns

PO BOX 5536

Studfield VIC 3152

Returns are processed weekly on a Wednesday.

Exchanges

As much as possible, Etiko will attempt to exchange your item for another size or style as available. We cannot guarantee that we will always have the size you request in stock.

Refunds & Store Credit

Returns are processed weekly on a Wednesday, and we aim to process refunds on the same day. Refunds are processed via the same method that the customer has paid – Credit Card, Paypal or Afterpay. We will also notify you when we have done so.

If you would prefer to receive store credit for your item, please advise us at the time of return. Credit will be applied to your Etiko account, and can be used by signing in before making your next purchase.

Faulty or Incorrect Items

Here at Etiko, we pride ourselves on the quality of our products. We have quality control checks in place to ensure our products are in good condition before sale. In the unlikely event that you receive an item that is faulty, damaged or defective, please contact us within 30 days of order receive date, and we will organise a replacement item or issue you a full refund. We do ask that you provide us with a photo of the item that clearly shows the fault.

Etiko does not take responsibility for items that are damaged through misuse or poor care. For all garments including underwear, please follow the instructions on the care label and packaging. For sneakers and shoes, we recommend the following care:

• Note that our sneakers, shoes and thongs are intended for casual wear, and are not built to withstand heavy duty wear and tear such as hiking, building/industrial job sites or sporting activities.
• Test the cleaning process on a section of the shoe which is not visible such as the inside of the tongue or sole. This is to ensure that the cleaning product used does not affect the colour or material
• Cotton Canvas: using a damp cloth, rub gently with lukewarm water and a mild soap or detergent. Do not machine wash or dry.
• Rubber: using a cloth, rub gently with lukewarm water and a mild soap or detergent. Alternatively you could use a leather spray – we recommend spraying the cleaning cloth, not the rubber as it may also touch the canvas and cause discolouration. Do not machine wash or dry.
• Dry at room temperature, stuff with tissue paper to help maintain their shape. Do not tumble dry or place close to heat source such as a hair dryer, hand dryer or heater.

Etiko is totally committed to protecting the privacy of our site visitors and customers. The Etiko team members are customers themselves of other Internet sites and fully appreciate and respect the importance of privacy on the internet.

Collection of personal information

Personal information is any information or an opinion that can identify you. The personal information we may ask for includes:

• your name
• your billing and/or shipping address
• your email address
• your telephone number
• your payment details

When we conduct market research and profiling, we may also ask you for your opinions about fashion, websites and customer service.

We also collect information about visitors to our website using cookies and code embedded in this Website, as described in the "What are cookies?" and "Site Statistics" sections of this policy. Generally, if we do ask you for personal information, we will endeavour to say which information we require and which information is optional.

Use of personal information

We usually collect personal information from you so that we can provide you with the goods you want. We may also use personal information for other reasons, including:

• updating you on our latest products, news and special offers (unless you tell us not to – which you can do at any time)
• conducting appropriate anti-fraud checks (this is done only to confirm your identity – a credit check is not performed and your credit rating is unaffected)

If you don’t provide some of the personal information we ask for (e.g. your name and address), we may be unable to provide you with the goods you want.

If we disclose your personal information to any of our group companies, they may use it for the same purposes that we may (including so that they can update you on their latest products, news and special offers via e-mail, post & telephone).

Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose your personal information to any of our group companies. We will provide personal information about our customers to third parties outside our group companies. These third parties usually help us in providing goods and services to you, and include:

• couriers (who we arrange to deliver goods to you on our behalf)
• organisations who carry out credit, fraud and other security checks
• outsourced service providers (e.g. market research agencies)

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties outside our group of companies:

• where we have your express permission to do so
• where it can reasonably be inferred from the circumstances that you consent to the disclosure to the third parties
• in the event that Etiko sells or buys any business or assets
• if Etiko or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data which we hold about our customers may be one of the transferred assets
• if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Etiko, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction

We try to limit the information we provide to third parties to the information they need to help us provide goods and services to you. We also enter into contracts with these third parties that require them to meet the privacy standards we set for ourselves in handling your personal information and use your personal information only for the purposes we gave it to them.

Communication & Marketing

If you have made a purchase from our store we may occasionally update you on our latest products, news and special offers via e-mail, digital media, post & telephone. You will also be given the opportunity to receive such communications from us and selected third parties when you become a member of Etiko.

All Etiko members have the option to opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us and/or selected third parties. If you do not wish to continue to receive marketing from us and/or selected third parties you should opt-out by visiting 'Your Details' in 'Your Account' on the Etiko website. You can access 'Your Account' once you register and login. Or click on the "unsubscribe" link in any email communications which might we send you.
