These terms apply when you use this website, being the Rays Wellness platform accessible at rayswellness.com.au and any other websites we operate with the same domain name and a different extension, or our application (“Platform”).

If you’re looking for our Privacy Policy, which we will comply with and you also agree to be bound by, you can find it here rayswellness.com.au.
How do I read these terms?
We separated these terms into three parts, so they are easy to read and understand.
Those parts are:
- Part A: Terms for when you buy Products (applies when you buy)
- Part B: Terms for when you browse and interact with this Platform (applies when you browse)
- Part C: Liability and warranties, and interpretation provisions (applies to both buying and browsing)
Please let us know if you have any questions about these terms, and don’t continue using this Platform or purchase any Products unless you have read and agree to these terms.
I’ve returned to your Platform, do I need to read these terms again?
Once you place an Order, the terms accepted at the point of sale will apply to your purchase of those Products. However, please note that we may change any part of these terms at any time by updating this page of the Platform, so you may find that different terms apply next time you use this Platform or purchase Products.
