These terms and conditions are important and you should read them fully. But there are some specific terms we wanted to make you aware of. These are set out below.

(See clause 21 for more details).  

Your liability: You will be liable for (i) any loss or damage suffered by us in connection with our delivery of Products beyond the entrance of your Delivery Address and (ii) any damage you or your Authorised Representatives cause to products delivered by Woolworths on the date and time of delivery or date and time of collection (as applicable), subject to an exclusion of indirect/consequential loss and inclusion contributory liability. See clauses 8 [b] and 21 [f] and [g] for more details. 

Account Termination: In the event that Woolworths suspends, terminates or limits the Customer’s access to and use of the Site and (where relevant) the Customer’s account or the General terms are terminated or expire, Woolworths will notify the Customer and must pay Woolworths all outstanding amounts within 7 days this notification by Woolworths.

[a] These Woolworths at Work Terms & Conditions (Terms & Conditions) will apply to a business (the Customer).

[b] Woolworths Group Limited (ABN 88 000 014 675) (Woolworths, us and we) agrees that the Customer’s personnel (including its officers, employees, contractors, consultants and agents) (Authorised Personnel) may access the Site and Store to browse, select and Order Products for the Customer from Woolworths. The Customer may create different types of accounts for its Authorised Personnel,

(1) those who possess administrative control over the Customer’s account, including but not limited to:

(2) those who can access the Site and Store to browse, select and Order Products for the Customer from Woolworths (Shopper).

Site means Woolworths’ online purchasing website known as “Woolworths at Work” located at http://atwork.woolworths.com.au.

Store means Woolworths’ stores, including Woolworths’ Supermarkets, Woolworths’ Metro and BigW, which may be accessed directly by the Customer or its Authorised Personnel.

[c] The Customer’s Authorised Personnel may also purchase Products in Store with a Work Account by Woolworths Group in-Store card (Card).

[d] The Customer must at all times comply with these Terms & Conditions, and ensure that each of its Authorised Personnel also comply with these Terms & Conditions. To the extent that these Terms & Conditions involve the giving of consent by or on behalf of Authorised Personnel, the Customer enters into these Terms & Conditions as agent of each of its Authorised Personnel.

[e] The Terms & Conditions apply to the Customer in addition to any general terms (General Terms) that the Customer agrees with Woolworths from time to time. 

[a] By accessing and using the Site or Store, the Authorised Personnel represents, warrants and undertakes that he or she is a duly authorised representative of the Customer to enter into and accept these Terms & Conditions on the Customer’s behalf and has all necessary, current and valid legal authority to enter into these Terms & Conditions on behalf of the Customer and bind the Customer to them.

[b] The Customer and the Authorised Personnel warrant that:

[a] The Customer must complete the customer registration process before placing an Order for Products through a Site or using a Card in Store.

[b] Any personal information that the Customer or Authorised Personnel disclose during the registration process will be handled by Woolworths in accordance with our privacy policy (available at https://www.woolworthsgroup.com.au/privacy-policy, as updated from time to time).

[c] The Customer:

[d] If Authorised Personnel choose to use a workplace email address to set up the Customer’s account or to access a Site, then the Authorised Personnel is responsible (including on behalf of the Customer) for ensuring that he or she complies with the rules, policies or protocols that apply to the use of that email address.

[e] The Customer’s account will include the functionality to place Orders for Products online via the Site or using a Card in Store. The Customer and Admins may choose to issue Cards linked to its account – no Cards are issued automatically by Woolworths. 

[a] The Customer may Order Products by selecting and submitting an Order through the Site or attending a Store in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.

[b] Where an Order is placed through a Site or Store for a Product using the Customer’s registered account, the Customer acknowledges that it is an offer by the Customer to purchase the particular Product for the price notified to the account user (including the delivery and other charges and taxes) at the time the Order is placed.

[c] We may ask the Customer to provide additional details or require the Customer to confirm account details to enable us to process an Order placed through a Site or Store.

[d] The Customer must provide us with current, complete and accurate details when asked to do so by the Site or at Store.

[e] Recurring Orders:

[a] Woolworths may reject the Customer’s Order if:

[b] Each Order placed for Products through a Site or at Store that Woolworths accepts results in a separate binding agreement between the Customer and Woolworths for the supply of the Ordered Products. For each Order accepted, Woolworths will supply the selected Products in that Order to the Customer in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.

[c] If Woolworths rejects an Order placed by the Customer through a Site, Woolworths will use reasonable endeavours to notify the Customer of that rejection at the time the Customer placed the Order or within a reasonable time after the Customer submits the rejected Order. If we cancel or reject an Order we will refund the full payment amount or remove any applicable fees and charges from the Customer’s account (as applicable), including any Delivery Fee and other fees and charges, via the original payment method or through an alternative means.

Restricted Product means a Product that is subject to certain restrictions (for example, age restrictions) on its sale by a relevant law, such as Products containing liquor, tobacco or sharp objects.

[a] For Woolworths Orders containing liquor, we act as an agent on behalf of Endeavour Group Limited (ABN 77 159 767 843) (Endeavour). Woolworths and Endeavour both support the responsible service of alcohol. It is an offence to supply alcohol to a person under 18 years of age. It is Endeavour’s policy to check ID upon delivery of anyone who appears under 25.

[b] The Customer (and its Authorised Personnel):

[c] Woolworths and its delivery partners reserve the right to:

Unless otherwise agreed, the Customer is not permitted to purchase any items for commercial resale to a third party. If Woolworths has a reasonable suspicion in relation to the number of item/s the Customer has Ordered, then we may contact the Customer to investigate the Order. Woolworths reserves the right to rescind an agreement to supply Products where it reasonably determines that the Customer is purchasing the items for commercial resale to a third party. If we rescind an agreement to supply or cancel an Order we will provide reasonable notice to the Customer and will refund the full payment amount or remove any applicable charges from the Customer’s account (as applicable), including any Delivery Fee and other fees and charges, via the original payment method or through an alternative means.

[a] We will only deliver Products Ordered to a location(s) where we provide delivery services. The Customer may obtain further information on the Site about our delivery locations and relevant timeframes. The Customer may receive multiple deliveries in relation to a single Order. 

[b] We will deliver the Products to the relevant Delivery Address shown on the Site at the time of placing the Order. If the Customer requests us to deliver the Products inside a premises or building at the Delivery Address and we agree to do so, the Customer is responsible for all loss or damage suffered by us in connection with our delivery of the Products beyond the entrance of the Delivery Address, provided that the person delivering the Products does not act with gross negligence or wilfully causes harm to a person or property. The Customer is also responsible for any damage the Customer or its Authorised Representatives cause to products delivered by Woolworths on the date and time of delivery or date and time of collection (as applicable).

[c] The Customer must ensure that there is an appropriate person at the Delivery Address to receive the Order when notified as the Customer places its Order through a Site. This will be required: 

[d] We may require the Authorised Personnel accepting the delivery of the Customer’s Order to provide us with proof of that person’s identity (including photographic identification) and, where relevant for Restricted Products, age.

[e] If there is no one or no appropriate person at the Delivery Address to receive the Order we will (i) not deliver any of the Products the Customer has Ordered and (ii) endeavour to contact the Customer or the Customer may contact us to arrange for delivery at a different time. 

[f] The Customer acknowledges and agrees that any person at the Delivery Address who receives the Products is authorised by the Customer to receive the Customer’s Order. 

[g] In the event that multiple orders are delivered to multiple locations:

[h] The Customer, and its Authorised Personnel, acknowledge and agree that we may record the details of any identification provided in relation to delivery of Products.

[a] Pick up and Direct to boot are only available from selected Stores as shown on the Site. An estimated collection date will be displayed at the time your Order is placed.

[b] If you select our Pick up or Direct to boot service, you must select whether your Order is to be made available at the Store:

[c] The “BYO bags” service is only available for selected Stores. If you select the “BYO bags” service, your Order will be made available at your selected Store in a trolley. In order to collect your Order, you agree to bring your own bags and re-pack your Order from the trolley into your bags at the Store. For food safety reasons, you may find that some of the Products in your Order have been made available for collection in produce bags or reusable bags.

[d] You agree to comply with the following collection requirements specified in this clause and such other requirements that we notify to you when you place your Pick up or Direct to boot Order through the Site:

[e] If you or your Authorised Representative do not comply with the above requirements in clause 9[d], we may (i) not allow the collection of your Order and (ii) endeavour to contact you or you may contact us to arrange for collection at a different time.

[a] If you select to have your Order delivered to an address in any of the following postcodes your order will be classified as a remote delivery order:

and any other postcode as we determine from time to time as notified via the Site prior to the Customer placing an Order.

(each a Remote Delivery Order).

[b] If your Order is a Remote Delivery Order we will not be able to deliver your Order to your selected address and you will need to nominate a courier or other transport provider to deliver your order to your location.

[c] We may provide details of couriers or transport providers previously nominated by customers in your location when you select your address online. However, it is your responsibility, in accordance with clause 10[h], to ensure that the courier or transport provider you select is appropriate for your Remote Delivery Order. If you do not wish to use the suggested provider, or no suggestion is made, you will need to call us on 1300 390 971 during Contact Hours or email on support@woolworthsatwork.com.au to nominate your preferred provider.

[d] When you place a Remote Delivery Order, you are responsible for contacting the nominated provider directly and as soon as possible to book your delivery and confirm the costs you will need to pay the provider directly for the service.

[e] If you fail to book a provider, your Order will be either delivered to the provider’s address and Woolworths will not be responsible for the Order once delivered, or returned to our store and additional delivery charges may apply for any re-delivery of your Order. We will contact you in either of these circumstances.

[f] Any courier or transport provider nominated by the customer to deliver a Remote Delivery Order is engaged solely by you at your own cost and risk and is not to be taken to be contractors or agents of Woolworths.

[g] Once your Remote Delivery Order has been delivered to the premises of your nominated courier or transport provider Woolworths is no longer liable for any loss or damage to your Order and you or your nominated courier or transport provider becomes fully responsible for your Order.

[h] Woolworths will ensure that your Order is delivered to the premises of your nominated courier or transport provider in a manner that minimises any food safety risk including, for example, freezing certain perishable items. We recommend that you ensure that your nominated provider provides adequate transportation facilities with appropriate storage temperatures to safely deliver your specific Order to your location. Woolworths will not provide, or be responsible for providing any refrigeration or other transport facilities or packaging required to transport your specific Order from the premises of your nominated courier or transport provider to your location.

[I] Remote Delivery Orders are not eligible for Recurring Orders.

We have processes in place to assist in detecting transactions that may be illegal or in breach of these Terms & Conditions. We may contact the Customer by telephone or email to confirm the Customer’s payment and information details. If we are unable to confirm the Customer’s details and have reasonable concerns regarding an Order, we may make further inquiries and/or cancel the Customer’s Order placed via the Site.  If we cancel an Order we will refund the full payment amount or remove any applicable fees and charges from the Customer’s account (as applicable), including any Delivery Fee and other fees and charges, via the original payment method or through an alternative means.

Risk in the Products passes to the Customer on the date and time of delivery to the Delivery Address (including unattended deliveries at the Delivery Address) or date and time of collection for Pick up and Direct to boot Orders (as applicable)

Title to the Products passes to the Customer on the later of the date and time of:

[a] payment for those Products; and

[b] delivery of those Products to the Delivery Address (including unattended deliveries at the Delivery Address), or collection of those Products for Pick up and Direct to boot Orders (as applicable).

[a] We may cancel any Order or part of an Order (including any Orders that we have accepted) without any liability to the Customer for that cancellation at any time if:

[i] the requested Products in that Order are not available;

[ii] Woolworths is unable to deliver the Product to the Customer’s Delivery Address;

[iii] there is an error in the price or the Product description posted on the Site in relation to the relevant Product in that Order; or

[iv] that Order has been placed in breach of these Terms & Conditions.

[b] If we cancel an Order we will provide the Customer with reasonable notice of that cancellation and refund the full payment amount, including any Delivery Fee and other fees and charges, via the original payment method or through an alternative means. If payment has been taken and we cancel your entire Order, then the full payment amount (including any Delivery Fee, Bag Fee, or other fees and charges) will be refunded to your original payment method or through an alternative means. If payment has been taken and we only cancel part of your Order, then the amount paid for the part of your Order that has been cancelled will be refunded to your original payment method or through an alternative means.

[c] The Customer may cancel an Order (whether it is accepted by us or not) through the Site, by calling 1300 390 971 or emailing support@woolworthsatwork.com.au up to 24 hours before the delivery or collection window closes (as specified on the Site). If the Customer cancels an Order in respect of which we have taken payment, then the full payment amount, including any Delivery Fee and other fees and charges will be refunded to the Customer using the original payment method or through an alternative means.

[d] If a cancellation is made in respect of one location, the same provisions in this clause apply to that cancellation as if it were an individual Order.

[a] We will charge the Customer, and the Customer agrees to pay, the following fees and charges in relation to an Order that we accept (as applicable):

[b] All fees and charges identified in these Terms & Conditions and all prices for the Products include GST (as defined in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth)) where applicable.

[c] The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:

[d] Subject to these Terms & Conditions, once we have accepted the Customer’s Order, we will not change any prices that apply to the Products in that Order.

[e] If a Product that the Customer has Ordered is not available and we have not provided the Customer with a substitute (in accordance with clause 16), we will provide the Customer with a refund within 3-5 business days to the Customer’s OpyPro account or such other payment method used by the Customer to make the payment, to the value of the Products (excluding delivery) that were not supplied to the Customer.

[a] We have nominated OpyPro as our payment solution provider to manage payments including the line of credit facility issued by Woolworths (Woolworths Credit Facility). We have not engaged OpyPro to perform collection, debt recovery or enforcement services. In order to allow us to determine the Customer’s suitability for a Woolworths Credit Facility, the Customer consents and agrees to OpyPro undertaking a credit inquiry on the Customer, which may include OpyPro ordering a report from an external credit reporting body (CRB). A CRB may include information about the Customer in credit reports to credit providers (such as Woolworths) to assist them in assessing the Customer’s creditworthiness. We may seek further information reasonably required by us to verify Customers or the Authorised Personnel’s identity, which the Customer must procure and provide to us on request. We reserve the right to reject an application for an on-account payment method or Woolworths Credit Facility for reasons including that the Customer’s credit score, level of income, level of debt or business verification checks are below Woolworths expectations, or the Customer’s application is incomplete or inaccurate. 

[b] Customer acknowledges that in the event it chooses payment on account, it must create and maintain an account with OpyPro through OpyPro’s online application portal and must agree to OpyPro’s terms of use. 

[c] If Customer completes registration of an OpyPro account and we confirm that the Customer has been granted a Woolworths Credit Facility, Customers may use the 15 day Woolworths Credit Facility to place Orders on the Site. Woolworths reserves the right not to approve a Woolworths Credit Facility if Woolworths reasonably considers it would require further guarantees from the Customer or its Directors before issuing a Woolworths Credit Facility, and Woolworths will notify the Customer if such guarantees are required by Woolworths. 

[d] The Customer will be able to perform the following functions via the OpyPro portal:

[e] If we approve the Customer for a Woolworths Credit Facility or consolidated invoice, the Customer must pay credit accounts and consolidated invoices in full within 15 days (or as otherwise agreed in writing) of invoice issue. If we approve the Customer for individual invoices with purchase, payment must be made in full within 15 days (or as otherwise agreed in writing) from the date of the statement containing the individual invoice. A Customer can only select one type of invoicing for their organisation at any given time.

[f] The Customer acknowledges that if the Customer fails to meet its payment obligations or if the Customer commits a serious credit infringement, we may be entitled to disclose this to a CRB and third-party collections agency.

[g] Illion is the credit reporting body related to these Terms & Conditions. Contact details for Illion are as follows: Level 20/201 Elizabeth St, Sydney NSW 2804, Ph: 13 23 33. 

[h] We accept the following credit cards: MasterCard, VISA, AMEX, and Diners.

[i] If you choose to pay for your Order via credit card, you authorise us to pre-authorise and/or debit the amount that is payable for an accepted Order from your nominated credit card to pay for the fees and charges.

[j] The Customer acknowledges and agrees that its ability to place an Order for Products may be affected if:

[k] The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Woolworths may disclose to a credit reporting agency your Personal Information (including but not limited to the Personal Information of your Authorised Personnel) for the purposes of establishing a credit account and to be kept on a credit information file with the credit reporting agency.

[l] The Customer authorises and consents to Woolworths obtaining a credit report from or prepared by a credit reporting agency for the purpose of assessing your application for a credit account or for the purpose of any debt recovery proceedings.

[m] The Customer acknowledges that Woolworths may seek enforcement of any debt payable under the Woolworths Credit Facility. Woolworths may appoint an agent to assist with debt recovery and reserves the right to seek payment from the Customer of any reasonable fees and expenses owed to this agent to recover the Customer’s debt. 

[a] The Customer acknowledges that a Product that the Customer Orders may be out of stock or temporarily unavailable. If this happens, then we will not be able to provide the Customer with that Product.

[b] If we are unable to provide you with a Product, for Woolworths Orders, we will endeavour to automatically provide you with a substitute Woolworths Product:

[c] We aim to select substitute Products that are of similar value and quality, but we reserve the right not to provide the Customer with a substitute Product even if a suitable substitute Product is available.

[d] For Orders, we will endeavour to provide the Customer with a substitute Product for most Products. However, we do not provide the substitute option for tobacco, cigarettes, baby food, baby formula, gluten-free Products or any other Products that are specified as such on the Site, and will instead supply you with a refund in accordance with these terms.

[e] For Orders, we will endeavour to provide the Customer with a substitute Product where the price for that substitute Product is of equal or greater value than the Product the Customer selected. If so, then we will charge the Customer the price of the Product the Customer Ordered rather than the price of the substitute Product of greater value. If a substitute Product provided is of lesser value than the Product the Customer selected, we will credit the difference in value back to the Customer’s OpyPro account or other payment method used by the Customer. All substituted items will be reflected in the dispatch note, and the value charged to the Customer will be detailed in the Customer’s OpyPro account at month’s end.

[f] Where a Product the Customer has selected is substituted with another Product, we cannot ensure that the substitute Product caters to specific dietary requirements, including allergies. Please read the labels of each Product for dietary and allergy information.

[g] In all other circumstances, the Customer may contact our Business Support Hub on 1300 390 971 during Contact Hours within 24 hours after the delivery or collection time and we will take steps to verify and confirm any such missing items. Once we are reasonably satisfied that the item was not delivered to the Customer, we will provide the Customer with a credit to the Customer’s OpyPro account or such other payment method used by the Customer to make the payment within 3-5 business days for the Products that were charged but not delivered to the Customer.

A party claiming that a Dispute has arisen in relation to these Terms & Conditions shall give written notice to the other party specifying the nature of the Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”).

[c] Negotiation

Upon receipt of a Dispute Notice, the parties shall procure that their respective Account Manager meet to endeavour to resolve the Dispute expeditiously by negotiation.

[d] Resolution of Dispute

If the parties have not resolved the Dispute under clause 26[c] within 45 days of receipt of a Dispute Notice the parties shall endeavour to resolve the Dispute expeditiously using informal dispute resolution techniques such as mediation, expert evaluation, or determination or similar techniques agreed by the parties.

[e] Mediation

Subject to clause 26[a] if the parties do not agree within 60 days of receipt of a Dispute Notice (or such further period as the parties agree in writing) as to:

[a] the dispute resolution technique and procedures to be adopted;

[b] the timetable for all steps in those procedures; and

[c] the selection and compensation of the independent person required for such technique,

then the parties shall mediate the Dispute in accordance with the Mediation Rules of the Law Society of New South Wales and shall participate in good faith in such mediation.
