What is not covered: This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or any damage or loss caused by abuse or misuse or improper installation.
All materials can lose original intensity after long exposure to the sun, when left for extended periods in direct sunlight, plastics tend to crack and all cords will eventually wear out (“wear and tear”). Wear and tear is not covered by this warranty.

Return Policy
In placing your first order, you should ensure that you use our measuring instructions on this website and order one blind or shade as a first sample. That is the best means of ensuring that you have measured your area space correctly.
As IMAGE BLINDS DIRECT sell custom made window treatments, manufactured with extreme care to the specifications provided by our customers, orders are non returnable.
Colour Disclaimer
Please be sure to order samples before placing your order. Monitor colours vary dramatically from manufacturer to manufacturer and the lighting environment you’re in can also affect the colour of product. For this reason, we cannot honour our satisfaction guarantee on colours chosen by those customers who do not order colour samples prior to placing an order for delivery of product.
Additionally, due to the variances in the natural grain of wood each dye lot will vary for any of the stained wood products. These variances are minimal, but there is no way to assure the exact colour of stained wood blinds. If you are ordering multiple blinds we strongly recommend that you order all of them at the same time to ensure they come from the same dye lot and will, in the main, match one another.
Please note that sample colours may also vary slightly from the delivered product as our samples may also come from dye lots which differ from the manufactured product you receive.

Information Collection and Use
IMAGE BLINDS DIRECT is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. IMAGE BLINDS DIRECT collects information from our users at several different points on this site.
Shopping Cart
In order to purchase items from this site, a user must first complete the order form. During the application process a user is required to give contact information (such as name and email address), physical address and payment information for purposes of the transaction. We require this information because we will contact the user about services on this site for which he/she has expressed an interest and process orders submitted by our users.
Information Use
Information provided to IMAGE BLINDS DIRECT is not shared with any entities or parties. Your information will not be sold, shared or otherwise distributed to anyone other than our factory who require this shared information for purposes of shipping the product. We understand and value the need for privacy with financial and personal information, and guard such data with the utmost care.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyse trends, administer this site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need or be legally required to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, or to comply with a court order or legal process served on this site.
Security
This site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via this site, the information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or bank check number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to user information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every 6 months, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment.
If users have any questions about the security of this site, users can send an email to [email protected]
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as post code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support at [email protected] . Alternatively, contact us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed on this site. 1300 657 100 or Image Blinds, 97 Delta Street, Geebung, 4034 QLD
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on this site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
