  • The Services.

 The services provided by the company are detailed below:

Starter Store Sale Terms:

Our Starter Stores are developed to be a starting point, a way to get a headstart on the dropshipping journey. Although much of the work has already been completed and the ability to take the store live to the public is very close, there are still a few tasks to be completed by the customer which we will outline below. This is a business like any other and it requires hard work and dedication to take the store forward and make it a successful venture. 

The stores include the fully built out Shopify store, custom domain, artwork, hero images, low-resolution logo/favicon, all products pre-uploaded, and Aussie suppliers in place ready to take forward to start advertising... Plus 30 days website technical email support (NOT store operation or business coaching).

The purchase is of the website / Shopify store and domain ONLY we DO NOT offer financial and/or business structure advice moving forward, we suggest contacting your accountant or financial adviser if you need any and all guidance on these requirements.

All starter stores are sold as-is at the time of sale, any/all work on the store from this point is the sole responsibility of the customer, this includes but is not limited to: Theme customisation, product uploads/updating stock levels/updating pricing, shipping settings/terms, installation/integration of extra apps, installation/connection of extra marketing instruments/materials and updating relevant legal policies on the store. 

Whilst every effort is taken to ensure the accuracy of all the information/product information on the store at the time of sale, it remains the customer's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of said site/product information before opening the store to the public.

We use a genuine Australian dropshipping supplier (www.dropshipzone.com.au) for our products and each store and all prices on the store are set to the RRP set by the supplier at the time of sale, where the supplier does not set an RRP we will set the price of each item to have approximately a 30% profit margin. 

Although the application process is very straightforward, customers need to be an Australian resident and/or hold an ABN to apply for and attempt to be approved for an account with www.dropshipzone.com.au once the website has been transferred.

The customer will be required to select a Shopify plan immediately after taking ownership of the store and will be responsible for the payment of the said plan. Each store includes a pre-installed domain that has been registered for 1 year, the amount of time until the domain will need to be renewed will vary depending on when the store was completed and the subsequent purchase by the customer, following the sale it is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure that the domain remains active. 

It is a condition of sale that the customer has/opens a GoDaddy account to receive the transfer of the domain, all efforts will be made to transfer the domain to the customer's GoDaddy account, we will not be held responsible if the customer fails to accept the transfer in the appropriate time and/or any loss of the domain because of this in the future. 

Setting up a custom email address is not included with the Starter Stores, we do provide instructions on the setup process, however, it is the customer's responsibility to set up their own custom email address.

The Privacy Policy and Terms of Services Agreement provided on the store are automatically generated by Shopify and are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. It is your option whether or not to use such terms and agreements. The information should be used as a guide and modified to meet your own individual needs and procedures and the laws of your jurisdiction. We strongly advise you to conduct your own review of whether your business and website would require compliance with specific policies and laws, including privacy laws, automatic renewal or subscription rules, sales tax rules. Your use of any information or policies generated By Shopify on your website is at your own risk. Ecommerce Commodities and any of its employees, contractors, or attorneys who participated in providing the information expressly disclaim any warranty. 

[Website, Niche Category & Products]

Dropship Stores Downunder builds websites in multiple niche categories. Given that product niches are finite, it cannot be guaranteed that each customers store in any particular niche has not already been sold previously, nor do we claim/promise that a new store in any niche category will not be developed and listed on the Dropship Downunder marketplace again in the future. We reserve the right to develop, list and sell stores in any niche category regardless of how my stores in that niche have been sold prior. We use one of the biggest Australian drop shipping suppliers for all the products on our stores, so it’s entirely possible the same product(s) will be listed on many other competitor's store(s). Although the supplier does offer different product lines from time to time, the stores we’ve built in the past, present, and future may have the same or similar product(s) listed.

Refunds & Returns: 
It is the sole responsibility of the customer to conduct any & all due diligence & research concerning the product niche and the viability of the niche in the marketplace BEFORE purchase. Once the Shopify store has been fully transferred to the client and ownership is confirmed, we will not accept requests for refunds or returns. All sales are final at this point.
