AUTHORITY TO LEAVE – DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF REDELIVERY, WE GIVE AUTHORITY TO LEAVE ALL PACKAGES. PLEASE ENSURE SOMEONE IS AVAILABLE TO RECEIVE YOUR ORDER AS WE CANNOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR STOLEN OR DAMAGED PACKAGES.

RETURNS & CANCELLATIONS
Return of faulty/broken items should occur within 5 days of receiving them. To report an issue, please email the details of the damage and an image to info@devacacao.com.au and quote your invoice number. Non-delivery must be reported immediately.

All orders are final and cannot be cancelled once the order has been paid for. We do not accept return of unsold goods or change of mind.

All Deva Cacao products are handmade and hand wrapped, therefore some minor variations in weight can occur which is not considered a fault.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE
Deva Cacao chocolate has a shelf life of 12 months when stored correctly. We use real ingredients without adding any preservatives, stabilisers or numbers and our chocolate can be heat sensitive. All stock should be stored at or below 25 degrees, in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. We do not recommend storing our chocolate in the fridge due to moisture issues – air-conditioning is more appropriate for temperature regulation. Chocolate stored outside these conditions cannot be returned.

RRPs

Because we work with two different retail industries (health food/independent supermarket and gifting/homewares) we offer two different RRPs to cater for the different mark-up of each industry. Both industries pay the same wholesale price. The prices on our retail website are in between these two RRPs as we feel it’s the fairest outcome for everyone. Please keep in mind that retail customer who purchases from our website also pay $12 shipping if the order is under $75.
