WHOLESALING
We wholesale our products to approved stockists at our exclusive wholesale pricing. Applications to be approved as a stockist are made via our Website. We do not approve everyone that applies and approval is entirely at our discretion. Approval may be revoked at any time. We are not obliged to provide a reason if approval is denied or revoked. We do not grant exclusive territories to wholesalers.
We take product safety extremely seriously. When making an application to be an approved stockist, you are promising us that all Items will be sold in their original packaging with all warning labels intact and all proper assembly and handling instructions will be included every time.
Kites inherently carry risk of injury, death and property damage. Specific risks include entanglement, collision and injury from kite lines. If you or your staff provide advice about any Item to a consumer, you agree to assume all liability for that advice.
Because of the high level of risk associated with these Items, you must not resell any Items which have been returned to you by a consumer. You are required to promptly advise us of all returns of Items and the reason for the return. If you are made aware of any accident, incident, injury, damage, near miss or other quality concern, then you must immediately inform us and provide full details including contact details for us to investigate this with the consumer. This is part of our quality assurance program to ensure that we are made aware of all potential risks with the Items we sell and can rectify any defects at the earliest opportunity.

Please email us immediately if you realise that you have entered incorrect delivery information after submitting your order as the options decrease and costs increase as time elapses.

You will not be entitled to claim any additional amounts or seek compensation for any loss, expense or damage (either direct or consequential) or for any loss of time or inconvenience, which may result from such cancellation.
You are not permitted to cancel an order, unless we agree in writing. This is because we may have already instructed our warehouse to prepare the order and it may have already been shipped. The sooner you contact us, the more likely it is that we can assist with a cancellation.
