In the event of rejection, we will refund or cancel any payments received in full, via the payment method used to place the order.

As a part of the checkout process, you will be able to select the pick-up or delivery date for your delivery, whether that delivery is part of a pasta plan or a one-off order. You will also be able to select the frequency of recurrence (in the case of a pasta plan).

(c) Changes to your order
If you wish to change your pasta plan, please do so via the “Account” area of the Pasta Poetry website or by contacting us at ciao@pastapoetry.com.au; for one-off orders please contact us at ciao@pastapoetry.com.au. We’ll always do our best to make last-minute changes for you, but we can only guarantee changes that are requested not less than 48 hours before midday of the scheduled pick up or delivery day. Failure to do so will result in the lapse of any rights to a refund or re-delivery.

Failure to do so will result in the lapse of any rights to a refund or re-delivery.

(f) Pasta Plan prices
The price for each order within a pasta plan is the price at the time that a plan is set up. We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to raise our prices at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, price increases from our suppliers and partners. If we raise our prices, we will notify our subscribers and provide the option to cancel your pasta plan free of charge.

4. Payments

We accept American Express, Visa, and MasterCard credit and debit cards as well as Paypal, Apple Pay, Google Pay. In order to offer the best security, all our payments are processed securely by Stripe or, if selected as a payment option, Paypal.

For all ongoing pasta plans, your credit or debit card will be billed at checkout for your first delivery only. For ongoing deliveries, you will be billed on a recurring basis at the start of every week in which a delivery is scheduled. The amount your card will be billed in any given week will be the value of your order(s) for the given week.

For one-off orders, your credit or debit card will be billed upfront on checkout. For all gift bundles, your credit or debit card will be billed upfront on checkout for the entire cost of the pasta plan.

If you create an account and enter your payment details, your card will be stored securely by Stripe so that you can check out on future visits without re-entering your card details. We never store or have access to your credit or debit card details.

5. Prices

All prices are stated inclusive of any applicable GST unless otherwise stated. All applicable delivery charges are set out explicitly in your order.

6. Offers and Promotional Codes

At our discretion, from time to time, we may offer products at discounted prices. These offers are valid from the time that we introduce them to the end date of the offer and they cannot be used for purchases before the offer introduction date or after the offer end date.

In the event that a customer has made a purchase and the price of the purchased product subsequently falls or is discounted owing to a special offer, the price of the product at the time of purchase shall prevail. We are unable to offer special offer discounts for purchases that have already been made.
As our special offers are contingent on availability, we may change the terms of special offers and promotional codes, or withdraw them altogether, at any time, and without prior notice.

Any offer that includes a free gift is subject to availability. We reserve the right to change this gift without prior notice. Such gifts are not guaranteed to be delivered with your purchase, and cannot be redeemed for cash or store credit. In such case that a gift is not sent with an order, the request for a refund will not be valid.
We also reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to offer different personalised special offers and promotions and it will therefore only be possible for the customer in receipt of the special offer to redeem the discount.

Unless explicitly otherwise stated, free or discounted introductory offers are only available to new users of the CHJ Unit Trust service, and are only available once to any one household. If a billing address has previously been used as a shipping address for any other order and an introductory offer is used on a new order, this new order will be invalid along with any additional rewards - we reserve the right to cancel orders if such behaviour is seen.

Except where otherwise stated, discounts and credits are available only once to any one person. Discounts and credits cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers.

Only one promotion code can be used per order. Discounts and voucher codes cannot be redeemed against delivery charges; percentage discount vouchers are applied only to the cost of meals unless otherwise stated.

Credit expires 3 years from the date that it is added to an account. We reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to expire or revoke credit, or to temporarily remove the ability to redeem credit on our site.

7. Gift Cards

All our usual terms and conditions apply to Gift Cards if or when offered. The following terms and conditions will also apply to the purchase and redemption of Gift Cards on the CHJ Unit Trust website:

Gift Cards ordered through our website will be delivered either by electronic means to the email address you specify or by physical means by way of a physical Gift Card being delivered to your chosen recipient on the date of your choosing.

Unless otherwise stated site offers and promotions (including credit) do not apply when purchasing Gift Cards. Our Gift Cards must be redeemed on our Website, as full or part payment for products from our Website.

Gift Cards cannot be exchanged for cash. All Gift Cards are dated and expire 3 years from the date of issue. No refunds will be processed in respect of the purchase of Gift Cards.

The first redemption of a Gift Card cannot be used in conjunction with any other credit or discount. Gift Cards cannot be redeemed against shipping charges.
Where products purchased online with a Gift Card are returned, any monies owing will be refunded by way of the relevant amount of credit added to the Gift Card recipient's account at CHJ Unit Trust.

CHJ Unit Trust is not responsible if a Gift Card is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without permission and no replacement will be provided in these circumstances.
Gift credits are only valid against fresh pasta orders, and therefore cannot be used on any other product, including (but not limited to) gift cards, Pasta Making Kits, products provided by third party sites, and apparel.

8. Circumstances Beyond Our Control
