We want you to love what you buy from Blonde & Grapes. This page explains what happens if something isn't right, or if you simply change your mind.
Your rights under Australian Consumer Law
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with a service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done, you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
These rights apply on top of anything described below. Nothing in this policy limits them, and they apply to sale items, digital products and memberships as well as full-price physical products.
Physical products (notebooks, journals and other items)
If your item is faulty, damaged or not as described
Please email us at hello@blondeandgrapes.com with your order number and a photo of the issue. We will offer a replacement, repair or refund, depending on the situation and your preference where the law gives you a choice. If the item is faulty, damaged in transit, or not what you ordered, we will cover the cost of returning it. We don't apply time limits or restocking fees to faulty goods.
If you change your mind
We offer change-of-mind returns on physical products within 14 days of delivery, provided that:
the item is unused and in its original condition and packaging
you contact us at hello@blondeandgrapes.com before sending anything back, with your order number
you cover the cost of return postage (we recommend using a tracked service, as we can't take responsibility for items lost in return transit)
Once we receive and check your return, we will refund the purchase price to your original payment method. Original shipping costs are not refunded for change-of-mind returns. Refunds are usually processed within 5 to 7 business days, though your bank may take a little longer to show it.
Sale items can be returned on the same terms as full-price items.
Exchanges
If you'd like a different item (for example, a different journal style), contact us within 14 days of delivery and we'll arrange an exchange, subject to stock. Where the new item costs more, we'll ask you to pay the difference. Where it costs less, we'll refund the difference.
Lost or delayed parcels
If your order hasn't arrived within the delivery timeframe on our Shipping page, email us and we'll investigate with the carrier. If a parcel is confirmed lost, we will send a replacement or refund you.
Digital products (guides, flashcards, planners, digital journals)
Because digital products can be copied once they are delivered, we don't offer refunds for change of mind after you have downloaded or accessed a digital product.
However, if a digital product is faulty (for example, the file won't open or download), is not as described, or is materially different from what we advertised, we will fix the problem, replace the file, or refund you where the problem can't be resolved. Email us at hello@blondeandgrapes.com with your order number and a description of the issue.
If you haven't received your download link, check your spam folder first, then contact us and we'll resend it.
The Rosé Room membership
The Rosé Room is free to join, so there's nothing to refund. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any Rosé Room email, and your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected. See our Rosé Room Terms for details.
How to contact us
Email: hello@blondeandgrapes.com. We aim to reply within 2 business days.

About us
This website is operated by Blonde & Grapes (ABN 52181036284), based in New South Wales, Australia. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean Blonde & Grapes, and "you" means the person using this website or buying from us.
By using this website or placing an order, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site or place an order.
Our products
We sell physical products (such as journals and notebooks) and digital products (such as guides, flashcards, planners and digital journals), and we run a free subscriber hub, The Rosé Room. Product descriptions and images are as accurate as we can make them, but colours may vary slightly between screens, and handmade or printed items may differ a little between batches.
Blonde & Grapes does not sell alcohol.
Prices and payment
All prices are in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable.
Payment is taken at checkout through Squarespace Payments / Stripe / PayPal. We don't see or store your full card details.
We can change prices at any time, but the price you see at checkout when you place your order is the price you'll pay.
If a price is clearly wrong (for example, a significant pricing error), we may cancel the order and refund you in full.
Orders
When you place an order, you'll receive an email confirming we've received it. That confirmation is not our acceptance of your order. We accept your order when we dispatch your physical products or deliver your digital products. We may decline or cancel an order, for example if an item is out of stock, if there's a pricing or description error, or if we suspect fraud. If that happens, we'll refund anything you've paid.
Discount codes and promotions
Discount codes are valid for the period and products stated, can't be combined unless we say so, have no cash value, and can't be applied after an order has been placed.
Returns, shipping and digital delivery
Our Returns, Refunds & Exchanges and Shipping & Delivery pages form part of these terms.
Intellectual property
All content on this website, including text, images, graphics, logos, designs, journal layouts, guides and downloadable files, is owned by or licensed to Blonde & Grapes and is protected by copyright and other laws. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, sell or distribute any of it without our written permission. Digital products are subject to the licence in our Digital Products Terms.
Wine content and responsible drinking
The content on this site, including blog posts, guides and journal prompts, is general information and inspiration only. It is not professional advice. Our content is intended for people aged 18 and over. Please enjoy wine responsibly, and don't drink if you are pregnant, driving or operating machinery, or if alcohol is not safe for you.
Using our website
You agree not to misuse the website, including by attempting to gain unauthorised access, introducing harmful code, scraping content, or using the site for unlawful purposes.
Third-party links
Our site may link to other websites, such as retailers or social platforms. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this website or our products. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that can't be excluded. Where we are permitted to limit our liability for a breach of a consumer guarantee, we limit it to replacing or repairing the goods, supplying the goods again, or paying the cost of doing so, or (for services) supplying the services again or paying the cost of doing so.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page at the time you place an order is the one that applies to that order.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.

These terms apply to all digital products from Blonde & Grapes, including guides, flashcards, planners, digital journals and any free downloads. They sit alongside our Terms of Sale.
What you're buying
When you buy a digital product, you're buying a licence to use it, not ownership of the content. Blonde & Grapes keeps all copyright and other intellectual property rights in our digital products.
Your licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download, save and use the digital product for your own personal use, which includes printing it for your own use.
What you can't do
You may not:
share, forward, upload, resell, sublicense or distribute the product (or any part of it) to others, whether for free or for payment
post it on any website, social media platform, file-sharing service or marketplace
use it for commercial purposes, including in workshops, classes, events or products you sell, without our written permission
remove our branding, copyright notices or credits
claim the content as your own
If you'd like to use our content for a group, event or business, email us at hello@blondeandgrapes.com and we'll be happy to talk it through.
Delivery and access
Digital products are delivered by email after payment is confirmed (see our Shipping & Delivery section). Please save your files promptly, as download links may expire or be limited in number. You're responsible for having suitable software and a compatible device to open the files (for example, a PDF reader).
Refunds
See our Returns, Refunds & Exchanges page. In short, we don't offer change-of-mind refunds once a digital product has been downloaded or accessed, but if it is faulty or not as described, we'll fix it, replace it or refund you. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
Free downloads
Free guides and resources are provided for your personal use under the same licence and restrictions above. We provide them in good faith and may update or withdraw them at any time. They are general information and inspiration, not professional advice.
Misuse
If we reasonably believe you've breached this licence, we may disable your access to the product and, for Rosé Room content, remove your Rosé Room access. We may also take other action to protect our rights.
