Nothing in this section limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law, including rights arising from unreasonable delays or failures to supply goods.

Products that are faulty, damaged, incorrectly supplied or otherwise fail to meet applicable consumer guarantees may qualify for a repair, replacement, refund or other remedy under Australian Consumer Law.

Please refer to our Refund & Returns Policy for further information.

9. Product Safety and Supervision

Little Minds products should be used in accordance with their packaging, product instructions and recommended age guidelines.

For the safety of children:

  • Follow all age recommendations and product warnings.

  • Adult supervision is recommended during play.

  • Inspect magnetic tiles regularly for damage.

  • Do not allow children to use broken, cracked or damaged magnetic tiles.

  • Keep loose magnets or exposed magnetic components away from children.

  • Discontinue use immediately if a tile becomes damaged or a magnet becomes exposed.

Swallowed magnets can cause serious injury. Seek urgent medical attention if a magnet is swallowed or suspected to have been swallowed.

These safety recommendations do not exclude or limit our obligations to supply safe products under applicable Australian law.

10. Educational Resources

Some Little Minds products include supplementary educational materials, including learning activity sheets.

These resources are intended to support play-based learning and early literacy development.

Individual learning outcomes may vary depending on each child's age, abilities, interests and developmental stage.

Our educational resources are not a substitute for professional educational, developmental or medical advice.

11. Intellectual Property

All original content on the Little Minds website, including our branding, logos, graphics, product photography, written content, designs and original educational resources, is owned by or licensed to Little Minds unless otherwise stated.

Our educational activity sheets may be used for personal, classroom or educational purposes in accordance with any licence supplied with the product.

You may not reproduce, resell, redistribute or commercially exploit our protected materials without prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

12. Wholesale and Business Enquiries

We welcome enquiries from schools, kindergartens, educational retailers, toy stores and other businesses interested in stocking Little Minds products.

Wholesale purchases, where offered, may be subject to separate written agreements covering pricing, minimum quantities, payment terms and distribution arrangements.

Submitting a wholesale enquiry does not establish a wholesale account or guarantee approval.

13. Customer Reviews and Feedback

We welcome genuine customer reviews and feedback.

By submitting a review or other content to our website, you confirm that you have the right to share that content and that it does not knowingly infringe another person's rights.

You grant Little Minds a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display and reproduce submitted reviews and feedback in connection with our business and marketing, subject to applicable privacy laws.

We may moderate content that is unlawful, abusive, misleading, fraudulent or otherwise inappropriate.

We will not knowingly misrepresent customer reviews or create a misleading impression of customer experiences.

14. Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services, including Shopify, payment providers, delivery companies and website applications.

These providers may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for independent third-party websites outside our control, but this does not limit our responsibilities to customers under applicable consumer laws.

15. Privacy and Personal Information

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly.

Information collected through our website may be used to process orders, provide customer support, arrange deliveries and communicate with customers in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Little Minds is not responsible for losses arising solely from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms of Service excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy available under Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.

17. Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

These rights apply in addition to any voluntary warranties or return policies offered by Little Minds.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service periodically to reflect changes to our products, operations, website or legal requirements.

The latest version will be available on our website with an updated revision date.

Changes will not retrospectively remove rights or remedies that customers have already acquired under applicable law.

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply.

Any disputes will be addressed in accordance with applicable Australian law.
