My Account - Credit Types and Use
Your "My Account" interface kept with Appleby & Co may be linked with certain types of credit for use on the Appleby & Co website. You may only use this credit as defined in these Terms and Conditions. There are three (3) different types of credit:
1. "Store Credit"
Subject to our discretion, Appleby & Co may issue you with "Store Credit" periodically. Store Credit may only be used towards the purchase of products listed on the Appleby & Co website. One (1) Factory Fund Store Credit is equal to one (1) dollar, for the purposes of product purchases on the Appleby & Co website. Store Credit has no value anywhere else except the Appleby & Co website and cannot be redeemed from Appleby & Co for real money.
When you place an order, you may elect to apply any Store Credit in your "My Account" towards your purchase. In the event that you have more Store Credit than is required for the purchase, your remaining Store Credit will be reserved in your "My Account" for future purchases. In the event you do not have enough Store Credit for the full purchase price of your order, your Store Credit will all be applied to your purchase and you will need to apply other credits or another payment type (as listed above in "Methods of Payment, and Payment Processing") to satisfy the remaining balance of your order.
2. Coupons
Subject to Appleby & Co's discretion, we may periodically issue you with discount coupons. These coupons may only be used towards the purchase of the products listed, from time to time, on the Appleby & Co website. Coupons have no value anywhere else except the Appleby & Co website and cannot be redeemed from Appleby & Co for cash/legal tender. Coupons are subject to both these Terms and Conditions, and the Terms and Conditions listed on the coupon itself, including but not limited to the discount amount, expiration date, and purchase restrictions. Appleby & Co reserves the right to interpret the Terms and Conditions of an individual coupon and apply it in the manner we best see fit.
When you place an order with a coupon, the coupon discount is first applied to the price of your order. At that point, there may be a remaining balance to be satisfied. You may elect to apply any Store Credit in your "My Account" towards the purchase, (as described above in the section entitled "Store Credit"). In the event you do not have enough Store Credit for the full purchase price of your order, your Store Credit will all be applied to the order and you will need to apply other credits or another payment type (as listed above in "Methods of Payment, and Payment Processing") to satisfy the remaining balance of your order.

Damaged or Faulty Products
A damaged or faulty product is determined when first removed from its original packaging. Should you receive a product that is damaged or faulty Appleby & Co Customer Service will request images or a short video to show the nature of the damage or fault and make a DOA (Dead on Arrival) determination with reference to the relevant legislation contained in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (formerly known as the Trade Practices Act 1974).
In the case of a DOA determination, Appleby & Co will either provide replacement parts to resolve the damage or provide a replacement product or arrange for the item to be returned for a refund depending on the extent of the damage or fault at our discretion.
If the product is not of acceptable quality but only has a minor failure (defined as any failure which is not a major failure), Appleby & Co has the discretion to offer you either a full refund, to repair the product or give you a replacement product.
In the case of either a major or minor failure, Appleby & Co will be responsible for the costs of you returning the product to Appleby & Co. Your responsibility will be to package the product in the original packaging (or suitable alternative) and make the product available for collection by a 3rd party carrier or take it to location such as a post office for return.

In the case of a refund or replacement product, the DOA-determined product becomes the property of Appleby & Co when it has been determined to be a DOA-determined product by us.
Dead Shortly Following Arrival (or "DSFA") Products
If, after a reasonable amount of time after successful product delivery (usually 30 days) you find that your product is not of acceptable quality, contact Customer Service. If Customer Service determines your product to be DSFA as not being of acceptable quality and having a major failure (as defined above), Appleby & Co will provide remedy either by providing replacement parts, or offerering a return for replacement or refund. If the product is not of acceptable quality but only has a minor failure, Appleby & Co has the right to offer you either a refund, to repair the product or give you a replacement product or part.
Should a product not be determined to be DSFA, Appleby & Co reserves the right to refuse to refund or replace the product. A replacement product becomes your property upon delivery. In the case of a refund or replacement product, the DSFA-determined product becomes the property of Appleby & Co when it has been determined by us to be a DSFA-determined product.
Defect Later-On (or "DLO") Products
A delivered product is determined to be DLO if it is not determined to be DOA or DSFA, and it is determined to not to be of acceptable quality after a reasonable time of your owning the product.
"Reasonable time" is defined as the length of time in which it is reasonable to expect a product to be free of problems or defects, taking into consideration such factors as price, quality, and degree of use.
If Customer Service determines your product to be DLO, as not being of acceptable quality and having a major failure (as defined above), Appleby & Co will issue a full refund or a replacement of the DLO product. You have the discretion as to whether you receive a full refund or a replacement product in the event that there has been a major failure. If the product is not of acceptable quality but only has a minor failure, Appleby & Co has the right to offer you either a full refund, to repair the product or give you a replacement product.
If Customer Service determines that a product not DLO, Appleby & Co reserves the right to refuse to replace or refund the product. A replacement product becomes your property upon delivery.
