Appointment at the same time, the Terms at the time of booking will apply to each Appointment booked at that time.
In return for the payment of the Appointment Cost and Booking Fee we provide you with an appointment by the
Technician notified at the time of booking unless otherwise notified by us.
The Terms may be varied at any time subject to giving you reasonable notice via the website
www.stainbusters.com.au. If you continue to book Appointments after the date on which any changes to the Terms
take effect, you will be deemed to have agreed to such changes.
BOOKING APPOINTMENTS WITH US
You must book all Appointments through the Booking Agent either via the Call Centre on 1300 078 246 or the
Appointment Management System Site at www.stainbusters.com.au/idi_portal/login.aspx.
Any bookings made directly with a Technician will be of no effect until you have notified the Booking Agent and the
Booking Agent has confirmed that booking. If a Technician provides you with an appointment which has not been
booked through the Booking Agent, you agree that the Terms apply to that Appointment as if you had booked the
Appointment through the Booking Agent.
REFUND POLICY
You can request a refund of the purchase price of any Stain Buster product that has been supplied to you if the
product is found to be faulty within 28 days of the purchase. It may be requested that the product be returned to the
place of purchase at the discretion of the Stain Buster agent.
Should you deem the product be not suitable for purpose you can return the product unused and a full refund will
apply. The cost of the return of the goods is to be paid by the customer.
YOUR WALLET
You can Add Credit to your Wallet by depositing funds using one of the Payment Methods. You may deposit up to a

The funds in your Wallet will not attract interest and may only be used by you or an authorized person acting on your

RETURN OF WALLET CREDIT
You may request a Return of Credit in your Wallet at any time where the Credit has not expired. Credit will expire 365

nominated bank account, less a processing fee equivalent to the Booking Fee Where Booking Fee has already been
paid.
PAYMENT FOR YOUR BOOKINGS

and payable immediately on demand whether or not any further Appointments are provided to you.

remain outstanding.

Appointment cancelled and charge as set out below.
We may reschedule an appointment at any time by giving you reasonable notice including by telephone, email or
SMS.

they have a commitment to another Appointment immediately after, and you will be charged for the full Appointment
Cost for the Appointment.
