Terms of Service

Welcome to The Little Gate. By using our website or purchasing a Little Gate subscription, you agree to the following terms.

Please read these terms carefully before placing an order.

1. About The Little Gate

The Little Gate is a monthly Australian snail mail subscription. Each month, subscribers receive a carefully curated letter and a selection of seasonal, garden-inspired goodies.

The contents of each month's mail may vary. While we aim to provide the items described or shown, individual colours, designs, illustrations, seeds and other included items may vary depending on availability.

2. Subscriptions

By purchasing a subscription, you agree to an ongoing monthly payment for The Little Gate until you cancel your subscription.

Your subscription will renew automatically each month using your selected payment method.

The monthly subscription cut-off is the 8th of each month.

Cancellations made before the 1st will prevent that month's shipment and are eligible for a refund.

Cancellations made on or after the 1st will apply to future months only. The current month's subscription will still be processed and shipped and is not eligible for a change-of-mind refund.

For further information, please see our Returns & Refund Policy.

3. Payments

All prices displayed on our website are in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated.

By subscribing, you authorise The Little Gate or our payment provider to charge your nominated payment method for the applicable subscription fee.

If a payment fails, we may be unable to send your monthly mail until payment has been successfully received.

We reserve the right to change our subscription price. If the price of your subscription changes, you will be notified before the new price applies to your next payment.

4. Shipping & Delivery

The Little Gate currently ships within Australia.

We aim to send each month's mail as scheduled; however, delivery times are dependent on Australia Post or other postal services and are outside of our control.

We are not responsible for delays caused by postal services, incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by the customer, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

If your Little Gate mail is lost in transit, please contact us. We will work with you to resolve the issue and, where appropriate, send a replacement at no additional cost.

5. Incorrect Address

Customers are responsible for providing a correct and complete delivery address at the time of purchase.

If you provide an incorrect address and your mail is returned to us, we may ask you to cover the cost of reshipping the item.

If your address has changed, please ensure your subscription details are updated before the monthly shipping cut-off. Please send an email to admin@littlegate.com

6. Our Products

The Little Gate may contain items such as letters, printed materials, recipes, gardening guides, seeds, stickers, and other garden-inspired items.

Some items may be handmade or produced in small quantities, meaning there may be slight variations between individual orders.
