DELIVERY/ SHIPPING 
Delivery Obligation
We strive to ensure timely delivery of all orders in accordance with the estimated delivery times provided at the point of sale. However, unforeseen circumstances may arise that could prevent us from fulfilling this commitment.

Circumstances of Failure
A "Failure to Deliver" shall be deemed to have occurred under any of the following circumstances:
   - The order is not delivered within 10 days from the estimated delivery date.
   - The customer has not received the product after reasonable attempts to deliver the order.
   - Delivery cannot be completed due to inaccurate shipping information provided by the customer, or the customer’s failure to be available to receive the order.

Notification of Failure
In the event that we are unable to deliver your order within the estimated time frame, we will notify you via the contact information provided during the purchase process. We will make reasonable efforts to reschedule delivery or resolve the issue, including investigating any delays with our delivery partners.
Customer Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for:
   - Providing accurate and complete shipping information at the time of order.
   - Being available to receive the delivery, or providing reasonable access to the delivery location as agreed with the delivery partner.
   - Notifying us immediately of any changes to shipping details or availability.
If delivery cannot be completed due to incorrect shipping information provided by the customer or failure to respond to missed delivery attempts by the shipping company, the customer is responsible for covering the cost of any re-delivery.
Exclusions
We are not liable for delivery failures or delays resulting from:
   - Acts of God, natural disasters, or other external factors beyond our control.
   - Customer’s failure to provide accurate shipping details or to be available to receive the order.
   - Third-party carrier delays outside of our reasonable control, such as customs delays, strikes, or carrier service issues.
Claiming for Non-Delivery
If you believe there has been a failure to deliver, you must notify us within 14 days of the expected delivery date. We will then investigate the matter and provide you with a resolution.
Re-Delivery Costs
If an order must be re-delivered due to the customer’s failure to provide accurate shipping information or failure to respond to missed delivery attempts, the customer will be responsible for covering the cost of re-delivery. This cost will be charged to the customer before the order is dispatched again.
Refund due to failure to delivery
If the customer is unable to receive their order, a refund can only be issued:
   - Within 120 days from the date of purchase, or
   - Within the time period accepted by the customer’s banking institution or chosen payment method, whichever is shorter.
It is the customer's responsibility to understand the terms and limitations of their selected payment method. If a refund is requested after this time period, it will be issued in the form of store credit. The store credit will be provided to the customer as a digital gift card in Australian Dollars (AUD). If the original purchase was made in a different currency, the credited amount will be based on the estimated AUD value provided to Map of the Heart by the payment platform at the time of checkout. Map of the Heart is not responsible for any fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
The refund amount will reflect the cost of the product ordered, excluding any shipping fees incurred by Map of the Heart.
