Modern Cloth Nappy (MCN) Service

Terms & Conditions

Conder House Laundry & Linen Service Pty Ltd (hereinafter “Conder House”) services are provided subject to your (hereinafter “Customer”) compliance and acceptance with the terms and conditions set forth below. As a condition to using any of Conder House’s services, and for the mutual benefit of both Conder House and the Customer, the undersigned (“Customer”) agrees to the following terms and conditions:

SERVICES AND INCLUSIONS

Conder House will provide Customer with a full service (supply, pick up, wash, dry and delivery) of clean and sanitised MCNs, pail bags and travel bags.

SECURITY OF PICK UP / DELIVERY LOCATIONS

Conder House will provide pick up and delivery services for all Conder House MCN customers twice per week (Mondays and Fridays). The exact pickup and delivery location at the Customer’s home, office or day care centre must be provided by the Customer and MUST be guaranteed by the Customer to be secure. The customer is liable for any loss incurred via theft or damage of Conder House owned items and this cost will be charged to the Customer.

Soiled items are to be left in a secure location (such as on the front porch / doorstep) by 9 am on collection days. Clean items will be left in their place once the soiled items have been collected. This delivery will occur twice per week on the designated delivery days and these will be known as the ‘Scheduled Pick-up Days’ during the Term of this Agreement.

PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

Customers are required to book and pay in advance an initial period of 4 weeks (6 weeks for weekend package customers) with Conder House. Customers who have chosen to renew their contract with Conder House will be required to set up a mandate with GoCardless to enable weekly (in advance) direct debits for the services provided by Conder House. Conder House is under no obligation to provide any services to a Customer not fully paid for by the Customer in advance.

LEAVE

Temporary suspension of the service (after the initial 4 / 6 week period) will only be accepted for periods of 2 weeks or longer. Shorter periods will require full payment, or the service will be cancelled and payment of the initial 4 / 6 weeks in advance will be required to recommence the service. 

DELIVERY ON PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Conder House reserves the right not to offer delivery services on Public Holidays, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day, ANZAC Day, Easter Monday, New Year’s Day, Australia Day etc. Customers will be notified in writing via email if the scheduled delivery day is to be postponed due to a Public Holiday. The delivery service will then be performed either on the next available business day or the business day prior to the Public Holiday. Changes to the Delivery Schedule will be communicated at least 7 days in advance to Conder House customers.

PICK UP DAYS AND TIMES

Customer must remove inserts from pocket nappies and place all used nappies in the Conder House pail bags before the relevant Scheduled Delivery Day. Soiled items should be left outside the home or workplace of the Customer, in a secure location available for pickup, on the Scheduled Delivery Day. It is recommended that Customers leave items out for pickup no later than 9am on the Scheduled Delivery Day.

All Delivery Runs are conducted during the day. A secure location for pick ups must be chosen by the Customer. Any missing items resulting from theft must be replaced at the Customer’s expense.

It is Customer’s responsibility to have the items ready on the agreed day, time, and location. Conder House reserves the right to determine the pick-up and drop-off times at its own discretion and reserves the right to reschedule such times without prior notice to Customer. Please note that scheduled Delivery Days will NOT be rescheduled without prior notice to the Customer. Should a Customer not have items available for pick up on Scheduled Delivery Day, Customer will be charged for the full amount of the service as normal and pick up will resume on the next Scheduled Delivery Day. An additional $39.00 will be charged for a separate pick up outside of the Scheduled Delivery Day, if requested.
