1. Information About Us

  • We operate the website macros.com.au. We are trading as MACROS.

2. Service Availability

  • Our site is only intended for use by people residing in nominated postcode districts within Australia (Service Areas). We do not accept orders from individuals outside those Service Areas. Customers must provide a valid email address and credit card for all orders accepted online. We do not accept orders by phone.

3. Your Status

By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:

  • you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
  • you are at least 18 years old; and
  • you are resident in one of the Service Areas

4. How the contract is formed between you and us

  1. After placing your order for a subscription with macros.com.au, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order once your payment has been processed.
  2. The Contract will relate only to the Product/Services you have ordered/subscribed to. Each order placed for Products through the Site that we accept results in a separate binding agreement between you and us for the supply of those Products. For each order accepted by us, we will supply the Products in that order to you in accordance with these terms and conditions.
  3. Your subscription to our Services consists of an initial charge and is then followed by recurring charges as agreed to by you. By entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. macros.com.au may submit periodic charges weekly without further authorisation from you until you provide prior notice that you have terminated this authorisation or wish to change your payment method. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before macros.com.au could reasonably act. You can change your payment details via your Dashboard.
  4. By subscribing to macros.com.au, you agree to pay a recurring subscription for an indefinite period until cancelled by you or us as per our Cancellation Terms. The subscription amount and billing interval on the subscription terms set out in the application form you have completed, subject to variation in accordance with 4.5 below. You can cancel your subscription at any time. However, if you cancel your subscription after your cutoff time you will still be charged for, and receive, a final order. You can re-subscribe at any time following your cancellation, but we reserve the right not to permit re-subscription where we have previously elected to terminate a subscription by you.
  5. Following any promotional subscription period, your macros.com.au subscription will be automatically extended for at the then-current non-promotional subscription rate.
  6. We reserve the right at our absolute discretion not to renew your subscription at any time without giving any reasons for our decision.

5. Cancellation

  1. At MACROS, we pride ourselves on using fresh ingredients and cooking our meals to order. This is how we’re able to deliver them to you without using vacuum-sealed packaging or freezing meals, which lets them keep their incredible flavour.
  2. If you wish to cancel your subscription, you must do so before the cutoff date and time stated on your dashboard. If you cancel after the cutoff, you will still be charged for and receive your upcoming delivery as a final order.
  3. Subject to the non-excludable provisions of the Australian Consumer Law, any cancellation requests made after that time cannot be honoured as we have already purchased fresh ingredients and started making your meals. As a result, you will be charged the full amount of your order. If you still wish to cancel, please contact our customer service team at ​support@macros.com.au.
  4. You may cancel your subscription at any time by editing your account details via your Dashboard, however, an upcoming order can only be cancelled prior to your weekly cutoff.
  5. If you cancel your subscription after the weekly cutoff for your order, you will still be sent a final order on the scheduled delivery date; your subscription will not be renewed after this period. Note, as there is production cost involved macros.com.au reserves the right to refuse any refunds for cancellations after your weekly cutoff and during the production stage of your order.

6. Pausing

  1. You may pause your subscription at any time by editing your account details via your Dashboard.
  2. If you pause your subscription after the weekly cutoff for your order, you will still be sent a final order on the scheduled delivery date, after which your subscription will be paused indefinitely, until you choose to resume it.

7. Change of Details

  1. You must promptly advise us of any changes to your information provided to us as part of the customer registration process.
  2. Changes to address details and/or delivery instructions must be communicated before your weekly cutoff.
  3. Changes to payment details must be communicated prior to your weekly cutoff. MACROS will not be liable for any charges you incur as a result of out of date payment information. If MACROS incurs an expense due to incorrect payment information provided by you, we reserve the right to seek reimbursement for such expense.

8. Price and Payment

  1. From time to time MACROS may need to revise the price of its products up or down. For price variations, MACROS will provide notice by email no less than 7 days before the changes take effect. After such time, MACROS will apply the revised pricing for your subscribed service to your existing payment details. You do not need to do anything to accept the change of price. You are under no obligation to accept the price revision and may suspend or cancel your subscription before items are delivered under the new pricing plan.
  2. The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
  3. Product prices include applicable taxes including GST.
  4. Payment for all Products and Services must be by credit or debit card or any other payment method on the online checkout page.
  5. If your payment fails on your renewal date, you will receive an email immediately after the failed payment attempt to notify you. You will then have until the deadline shown to transfer funds and make the required payment for your MACROS meals.

    Please note: we will not automatically attempt a second payment. If payment isn't made by the cutoff time stated in the email, you will not receive your MACROS meals for the week.

9. Refund Policy

  1. A refund request will be assessed on individual circumstances and against the eligibility criteria.
