By placing an order through the Bridal Exchange, you are agreeing to the Bridal Exchange’s Privacy Policy as well as the following:

TERMS

Ordering
I (the customer) am aware that the new gowns sold by the Bridal Exchange, are Made to Order Custom Gowns and are not made to measure. They are simply ordered in the size that I deem closest to suit based on the sizing chart included with each gown on the website.
Parts of the gown are one size fits all, and other parts are ordered to size.

I also acknowledge that the gowns sold by the Bridal Exchange are Bridal Exchange Collection gowns. These gowns are designer inspired and are not actual designer gowns.
The Bridal Exchange gowns will be manufactured based on the real photos included on the website, so you the bride can see what the actual gown will look like versus marketing photos.

As the gowns sold by the Bridal Exchange are Made to Order Custom Gowns once your order is placed it is immediately placed with the manufacturing company and work on your gown commences. Once the order is placed it cannot be cancelled, and monies cannot be refunded, despite any changes in wedding plans, change of mind on the gown or unforeseen circumstances.

There are no refunds, credits or exchanges permitted as the gowns are Custom Made to Order Gowns and made for each individual bride.  Gowns can take 4-5 months to arrive. Accessories are also Made to Order they take a minimum of 2 months. 

When ordering gowns please keep in mind that the photographs of dresses are provided to the Bridal Exchange by the manufacturing company directly, so you can see the images of the gown you will be ordering.

While great care is taken in the production of my gown, the delicate nature of these blend/synthetic fabrics mean they can be easily marked or pulled (especially when my dress is shipped long distances to reach me) and may contain slight inconsistencies in colour, and weave; The Bridal Exchange gowns and accessories are made to order, one of a kind and each gown will be unique. For this reason, natural flaws in the fabrics and slight abnormalities in the laces or lace patterns, minor lace discolouration or markings and imperfections on the gown and the beading and 3D flower mishaps such as beads or 3D flowers falling off, discolouration of beads, discolouration of sparkle and sequins, missing beads etc., or a slight inconsistency in the weave, appliqué pattern/design, any lace changes or colour of the blend/fabrics throughout the gown will not be considered faulty by The Bridal Exchange, in accordance with our Purchasing Terms.

Type of material may also impact colour variation. Colours may vary as to settings on computers and monitors, and it is therefore impossible to guarantee an exact colour match by The Bridal Exchange. These variations are consistent with the individuality of made to order gowns, and in fact make your dress 100% unique to you! This is what makes your gown unique and one of a kind and is something to be celebrated!

Due to the delicate nature of the hand sewn embellishments of the gowns yours can potentially lose small amounts of beads and flower laces, bits and pieces of the hand sewn embellishments and may require re-stitching. This is expected of hand sewn items. 

Gowns sold by The Bridal Exchange are made with blend/synthetic fabrics and are designed in various colour options, depending on style and manufacturer, Buyer acknowledges that dye lots and materials can vary and cannot be guaranteed by The Bridal Exchange. I understand that although these variations and situations stated can occur, it is very rare. 

When ordering gowns please keep in mind that marketing photographs of dresses are provided to The Bridal Exchange by the manufacturer directly, therefore images and real gowns may vary as each gown is Made to Order and is special and unique. 

Delivery and Shipping
I have read the Bridal Exchange’s Delivery and Shipping Policy and understand I will need to allow for the estimated delivery times and customs processes. I understand that these time frames are estimates only, and the Bridal Exchange cannot be held responsible for unforeseen delays in shipping and customs or Force Majeure circumstances.

The Bridal Exchange shall not be financially liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, strikes, lockouts, accidents, war, fire, breakdown of plant or machinery, shortage and/or unavailability of raw materials from a source of supply, etc, international flight lockdowns and border closures, or mishandling by third party delivery company.  

The Bridal Exchange does not include alterations, dry cleaning, pressing or steaming services in the purchase price of your gown. Buyer will need to pay for these services separately. The Bridal Exchange is not responsible for any mishaps in regards to any of these services performed. It is recommended that the care instructions on the garment label should be followed.

Sizing and Fit
I understand that any changes to my sizing after the order date, will not be the responsibility of the Bridal Exchange. The Bridal Exchange is not responsible for any incorrect measurements or other incorrect sizing discrepancies. I understand that all gowns sold by the Bridal Exchange may require alterations after purchase, including to shorten the hem and secure the straps, add a bustle as well as any adjustments that may be needed to ensure a perfect fit (which can only be achieved when I try the gown on myself).

I know that if I purchase my gown via the Bridal Exchange, I will need to source these alterations myself and allow time for them to be completed. I understand that once I have placed my order I cannot change the size, and it is not the responsibility of the Bridal Exchange, to alter my gown to fit. I know that the embellishments and sleeves on the Bridal Exchange, beautiful dresses are designed to be one size fits most, and do not change with different sizes.

Shipping costs included in the cost of the wedding gown or accessory are estimates and are subject to change based on the freight company’s discretion. The Bridal Exchange will advise Buyer as soon as possible, if there are any changes to estimated shipping costs. The buyer will be required to pay the difference if applicable. 

Payments
I understand that I will need to pay for my gown and accessories in full. Payments can be made safely and securely via the Bridal Exchange’s website.

The Bridal Exchange will happily refund your money in the unlikely case of major manufacturing faults. A Major Manufacturing fault is: if the item sent, is not the correct size ordered (I understand that once I have placed my order I cannot change the size, and it is not the responsibility of The Bridal Exchange to alter my gown to fit). Buyer must stay same size as when gown was ordered, we cannot be responsible for any changes in Buyer’ physic.  If the completely incorrect color was sent i.e. you ordered an ivory gown got a nude color gown or if the completely incorrect style/shape of dress was sent i.e. you ordered a ball gown they sent a mermaid gown. 

A refund will only be offered in cases of major manufacturing faults per the stated above, the existence of which will be determined at the discretion of our Quality Control Team, after a thorough assessment of your item. 

We must be contacted with your invoice number, photos and a detailed explanation of the major fault or issue within 7 days of receiving the item. If we consider the gown to have a Major Fault as stated above and is returned due to incorrect size other than what was ordered, incorrect colour (ordered ivory received a nude dress) or incorrect dress style.
The gown must be returned to us in its original condition within 14 days and must not have been worn, altered or washed. Once the gown is received by The Bridal Exchange and assessed the monies will be refunded if we deem the item, is a Major Fault.

If it is not deemed a Major Fault the monies will not be refunded, and the Buyer will be responsible for shipping costs back to them. This policy will only apply where you have complied with your obligations as our customer, as outlined in this policy, including the time frames for returns. Returns outside of these periods will not be accepted for any reason. 

The Bridal Exchange reserves the right to refuse a refund on the gowns, if you do not notify of the fault or issue within 7 days of receipt, and/or do not return the item upon request to our us within 14 days. This does not affect any statutory rights that may arise. 
The Bridal Exchange cannot accept liability for the loss or damage of the returned goods during shipping. 

All tags must remain in place and the items must be returned in their original packaging. 
The Bridal Exchange will not reimburse any shipping costs.  
Prices are not inclusive of any shipping in country.

Per the Australian Consumer Law, The Bridal Exchange has the right to review the issue and if it is found to be faulty and can be resolved via a repair of your item, in the case of minor manufacturing faults that is what will take place. A refund will only be offered in the case of a major manufacturing fault as stated above.  

The Bridal Exchange will not offer a refund based on any differences between marketing products and real gown, or if the gown has minor defects.

We will also not pay for any alterations required for the perfect fit or if a bride is looking to change the original design or is not happy with a design factor of the gown. The Bridal Exchange will not refund monies in any instance based on the Buyer/Brides fabric perception or expectation. 

If, after inspection, the gown passes our quality control checks, you will not be offered a refund and we will return the gown or accessory to you at your expense.

Currency
All prices quoted are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and all orders will be processed in AUD at time of purchase.  I understand that the Bridal Exchange purchases via USD and converts to AUD by using a currency converter which will display an estimated conversion of the AUD price. I acknowledge that the Bridal Exchange provides no guarantees or assurances as to the accuracy of this conversion.

Lastly, I agree to have a fabulous time looking gorgeous in my the Bridal Exchange, gown and accessories, marrying my soul mate and enjoying the most magical day of my life!
