1. About CryptoStore Australia

CryptoStore Australia (ABN: 57151061349) operates as an affiliate marketing website that provides:

  • Product reviews and recommendations for cryptocurrency hardware wallets and related products
  • Educational content about cryptocurrency security
  • Affiliate links to third-party merchants where products can be purchased
  • Information and resources for Australian cryptocurrency investors

Important Notice: CryptoStore Australia does NOT directly sell products, process payments, or fulfill orders. All purchases are made through our affiliate partners who handle transactions, shipping, and customer service.

2. Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

Affiliate Links & Commissions

CryptoStore Australia participates in affiliate programs with hardware wallet manufacturers (such as Ledger, Trezor), Amazon Associates Australia, and other cryptocurrency product retailers.

What this means:

  • When you click on product links from our website, you are directed to third-party merchant websites
  • If you make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you
  • The merchant (not CryptoStore Australia) processes your payment and handles fulfillment
  • Commission earnings do not influence our honest reviews and recommendations
  • We only recommend products we genuinely trust for Australian crypto investors

3. Product Information & Accuracy

We strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, however:

No Warranty of Accuracy

Product prices, availability, specifications, and features may change without notice. Information is provided "as is" without any warranties.

Third-Party Responsibility

Actual product details, pricing, and availability are determined by the merchant. Always verify information on the merchant's website before purchasing.

Australian Market Focus

Prices displayed in AUD are approximations based on current exchange rates. Final pricing is determined by the merchant at checkout.

4. No Direct Sales or Fulfillment

Critical Understanding

CryptoStore Australia does NOT:

  • Sell products directly to customers
  • Process payment transactions
  • Ship or fulfill orders
  • Handle returns, refunds, or exchanges
  • Provide product warranties or guarantees
  • Store payment information

All purchases are made through third-party merchants who are responsible for sales, fulfillment, returns, refunds, and customer service related to your order.

5. Returns, Refunds & Customer Service

For product-related issues, you must contact the merchant directly:

Returns & Exchanges

Contact the merchant where you purchased the product. Each merchant has their own return policy.

Refunds

Refund policies are determined by the merchant. CryptoStore Australia cannot process refunds.

Shipping Issues

For tracking, delivery problems, or shipping questions, contact the merchant's customer service.

Warranty Claims

Product warranties are provided by manufacturers. Contact them directly for warranty support.
