Specific terms applicable to marketplace sales

In addition to selling its own goods and services, brilliantco.com.au also operates as a marketplace platform that allows independent, third party sellers who abide by our standards to list and sell goods on our Website (“Sellers”). If goods on the site are being sold by a third party, the listing will contain the Seller's details in addition to any terms of sale specific to the Sellers goods (such as delivery timetables).
By buying these goods, you are transacting directly with the Seller, and brilliantco.com.au is not a party to the transaction. As a result, we do not control any aspects of the transaction, including the listing content and accuracy or the quality, shipping and delivery of the goods.
In addition to terms applicable to goods we sell, these terms also set out terms applicable to goods sold by third party Sellers.
You agree that as a platform for independent Sellers, we are not responsible for the transactions that occur between you and the Seller, nor are we responsible for the Seller's goods or services to the extent permitted by law, brilliantco.com.au makes no warranty or representation regarding the standard of any goods or services to be supplied by the Seller. Nothing in this clause is intended to have the effect of restricting or modify your rights or our obligations that cannot be restricted or modified by law (including the Australian Consumer Law).
