Terms of Service

Welcome to Array of Whimsy.

This website is operated by Array of Whimsy. Throughout the site, the terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to Array of Whimsy.

By visiting our website, browsing our products or placing an order, you agree to these Terms of Service and any additional policies referred to on this website.

Please read these terms carefully before using our website or making a purchase. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use our website or services.

1. About Our Products

Array of Whimsy creates handmade sculptural wall pieces designed to bring personality, imagination and a little playful chaos into your home.

Our products may be made to order, produced in small batches or available as ready-made pieces.

We make every effort to ensure product descriptions, photographs, colours, dimensions and details are as accurate as possible.

As our pieces are handmade, subtle variations in finish, texture and appearance may occur. These natural variations are part of the handmade process.

Colours may also appear slightly different depending on your screen, device or display settings.

We aim to ensure that all product information is clear and accurate. If you have any questions about a product before purchasing, please get in touch.

2. Products & Availability

All products are subject to availability.

Some designs are made to order, while others are created in small batches or offered as ready-made pieces. The relevant product listing will provide information about the item, available options and estimated production timeframe.

We reserve the right to update, discontinue or modify products and product listings at any time.

If a product becomes unavailable after an order has been placed, or we are unable to fulfil an order for another legitimate reason, we will contact you to discuss the available options. If we cannot fulfil the order, any payment made for the affected order will be refunded.

3. Orders & Acceptance

When you place an order through our website, you are making a request to purchase the selected products.

You are responsible for ensuring that your order details are correct, including your delivery address, selected product, size, colour and any personalisation details.

An order confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided at checkout.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order where there is a legitimate reason, including:

  • A product is unavailable or has been listed incorrectly.

  • There is an obvious pricing or product information error.

  • Payment cannot be successfully processed or verified.

  • We have reasonable grounds to suspect fraudulent or unauthorised activity.

  • We are unable to fulfil the order.

If we need to cancel an order after payment has been received, we will contact you and arrange a refund for the affected order.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.

4. Pricing & Payments

Unless otherwise stated, product prices on our website are listed in Australian Dollars (AUD).

The currency available for payment will be displayed at checkout.

Prices may change at any time. However, a price change will not affect an order that has already been accepted.

Shipping costs and any applicable additional charges will be displayed during checkout before you complete your purchase.

Payments are processed securely through Shopify Payments and other payment providers made available at checkout.

By completing a purchase, you confirm that you are authorised to use the selected payment method.

We do not store or have direct access to your full payment card details. Payment information is handled by the relevant payment provider in accordance with its own security and privacy practices.

5. Made-to-Order Products & Production

Many Array of Whimsy pieces are made especially for the customer after an order is placed.

Our standard production timeframe for made-to-order items is approximately 1–2 weeks.

Small-batch and ready-made items generally require 3–5 business days for preparation, final checks, packaging and dispatch.

Some products may have different production timeframes, which will be stated in the relevant product listing.

Production timeframes are estimates and may vary depending on order volume, product requirements and busy periods.

Please refer to our Shipping & Delivery Policy for further information about production, preparation, shipping and delivery.

6. Personalised Products & Custom Commissions

Some products offer personalisation options, which will be outlined in the relevant product listing.

Customers are responsible for checking all personalisation details before submitting an order, including spelling, names, colours and other requested information.

We also accept custom and commissioned work, subject to availability and agreement.

Custom projects are discussed individually, including design requirements, specifications, pricing and estimated production timeframes.

Full payment is required before work begins on a custom commission.

Once work has commenced, changes or cancellations due to a change of mind may not be possible.

Please refer to our Returns & Refunds Policy for further information.

7. Shipping & Delivery

We currently use Australia Post for domestic and international deliveries, with tracking provided for all orders.

Delivery estimates, production timeframes, express shipping, Priority Production, international orders and customs information are outlined in our Shipping & Delivery Policy.

Delivery timeframes are estimates only and may be affected by postal services, customs processing, weather events and other circumstances.

Please ensure your delivery details are correct before completing your purchase.

8. Returns, Refunds & Cancellations

Because many of our products are handmade or made to order, our change-of-mind return and cancellation conditions differ from those of businesses selling mass-produced ready-made goods.

Our full conditions for order changes, cancellations, faulty or damaged products, returns, refunds and replacements are outlined in our Returns & Refunds Policy.

Please read this policy before purchasing.

Nothing in these Terms of Service or our Returns & Refunds Policy is intended to exclude or restrict any rights available to you under applicable consumer protection laws.

9. Product Care & Installation

Product-specific care and installation information is provided in the relevant product listing.

Customers are responsible for following the supplied care and installation instructions and selecting suitable mounting hardware for their wall type and the weight of the product.

Please note that mounting strips and hanging hardware are not supplied unless specifically stated in the product listing.

We recommend checking that your chosen mounting method is appropriate before displaying your piece.
