- provide us with the correct Measurements. This includes measuring with reference to Standardised Sizing and measuring from your hollow to hem with shoes on;
- place the Order by following the prompts on the Website;
- review the final Order and Measurements and ensure they are correct. If incorrect, any corrections to an Order must be sent to us in writing before the Confirmation Date.

- EBB is not liable for any error, omission or inaccuracy in Product resulting from incorrect or incomplete Measurements provided by you, or from any corrections notified to us after the Confirmation Date. EBB is not obliged to confirm or verify your Measurements. EBB stylists or other personnel take no responsibility in remembering the details from your fitting and/or communicating these to EBB.
- Orders (except Rush Orders) must be placed no later than 10 months before your wedding day, to allow for our manufacturing and delivery time and allow you time to complete alterations. Rush Orders must be placed at least 3 months before your wedding day. No Rush Orders will be accepted during December to March inclusive without our agreement in writing.

- You acknowledge and agree that all Product is made to order based on your Measurements.

- EBB has received written confirmation from you of the requested variation.
- To avoid doubt, you acknowledge and agree that Rush Orders cannot be varied unless otherwise agreed by us in writing.
- If EBB accepts a variation to the Product that will result in an increase to the Purchase Price (as result of additional manufacturing, alteration, delivery or other costs being incurred by EBB) you must pay the increase prior to EBB proceeding with the requested variation. You indemnify and keep indemnified EBB from any additional cost, liability and expense incurred by EBB should you make changes to the Order.

It is your responsibility to arrange such alterations and pay for the associated costs. We recommend you visit one of EBB’s preferred seamstresses, who are experienced with EBB Products.

- Liability
- You may have certain rights and remedies under the Australian Consumer Law (including, without limitation, consumer guarantee rights) that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by these Terms. For example, Products come with non-excludable guarantees that they are of acceptable quality and fit for the purpose for which they are commonly acquired. Nothing in these Terms operates to exclude, restrict or modify the application of any implied condition or warranty, provision, the exercise of any right or remedy, or the imposition of any liability, implied or conferred under the Australian Consumer Law or any other statute, the exclusion, restriction or modification of which would contravene that statute or cause any of these Terms to be void (the Non-excludable Liabilities).

If we cannot contact you on the details you provided, we will not be liable for any associated delays or non-delivery of the Product.
