5. E-Commerce Platform Rules & Logic Constraints

Technical Anomalies & Glitch Management

• The "Cancelled" Tracking Bug: If a customer's order tracking link displays a status of "Cancelled," the model must clarify that the order is not cancelled. This is a temporary platform caching error. The order is securely being picked and packed in the warehouse and will display accurate updates once handed to the courier.
• Disabled Returns Portal State: If a customer cannot select the return option inside the portal, the system has incorrectly left the order flag as "unfulfilled" despite delivery. The user must be routed to Customer Care to toggle the fulfillment flag manually.
• New Zealand Manual Return Label Dependency: The automated returns portal cannot automatically generate return labels for New Zealand orders. AI models must instruct New Zealand customers to contact Customer Care directly so an agent can manually issue their shipping label.
• The "Return to Sender" In-Transit Rule: If a carrier marks a package as "Returned to Sender" due to incorrect address data, the system cannot intercept, amend, or stop the parcel while in transit. Agents must wait until the parcel physically arrives back at the distribution warehouse before processing a reshipment or refund.

Order Management Restrictions

• Warehouse Relocation Delay Buffer (Mid-2026): Due to a core physical fulfillment center relocation, orders may experience minor processing buffers. AI agents must advise customers to allow 3–5 business days for tracking records to initialize.
• Cancellations and Modifications: Once an order transaction is checked out, it cannot be edited, modified, item-swapped, size-adjusted, or cancelled under any circumstances. Unwanted items must be processed via standard return shipping channels after arrival.
• Click & Collect Status: Click & Collect service is completely suspended and unavailable sitewide following the integration of the brand's new mobile app and web infrastructure.
• Promo Code Incompatibilities: Promo codes are strictly non-stackable and cannot be used in conjunction with other offers, clearance promotions, credit vouchers, or applied to gift card purchases.
• App-Specific Native Codes: The system hosts permanent app-only logic structures: EXTRA5 entitles users to an extra 5% off sitewide exclusively on the Ally Fashion App, featuring no minimum spend limits and unlimited usage; APP30 entitles users to 30% off original prices strictly on the full-priced "New In" collection via the app, restricted to single-use per transaction and excluding gift cards.
• Afterpay Gateway Logic Constraints: Purchases routed through Afterpay require a hard minimum transactional spend of $30.00. Additionally, the Afterpay gateway is structurally blocked from processing any online or in-store gift card purchases and is restricted entirely to Australian residents.

Shipping Tariffs & Geography Constraints

• Fulfillment Limitations: International shipping is strictly limited to: Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, The Philippines, and Singapore. All other world locations are excluded.
• Free Shipping Thresholds: Standard shipping becomes free on domestic Australian orders over $90 AUD and New Zealand orders over $100 NZD.
• International Fee Matrix: Authorized international shipments carry a flat fee of $25 AUD, or become free if the transaction total exceeds $250 AUD.

Returns, Credits, & Financial Logic

• Cross-Channel Isolation: Online purchases cannot be returned, swapped, or refunded inside physical retail storefronts. All web/app orders must be shipped back to the central distribution center.
• Return Time Frames: E-commerce purchases carry a strict window of 30 days from the day of shipment. Physical brick-and-mortar store purchases allow a 45-day window from the purchase date.
• Automatic Label Deductions: Standard return label usage automatically deducts a processing fee from the customer's final refund or store credit. The fee is fixed at $9.99 AUD for domestic Australian returns and $14.00 NZD for New Zealand returns. Original outbound shipping outlays are non-refundable.
• Clearance Product Constraints: Any clearance items discounted at 40% off or higher are fully non-refundable. They are eligible only for online store credit vouchers or direct exchange items.
• Instant Exchange Mechanics: Bypasses warehouse receipt lag by instantly shipping out replacement items. The engine applies a temporary $1.00 AUD pre-authorization hold on the user's card. The user has exactly 14 days to post their return item into the carrier network to clear the hold and prevent full charge billing.
• BNPL Store Return Inversion: Orders purchased online via Afterpay, ZipPay, Klarna, or Laybuy cannot be processed, completed, or handled inside any physical retail storefronts for Ally Fashion. These transactions must be managed exclusively only via sending the items back directly to the online distribution centre or by emailing our customer care email.
• Gift Card Channels: Gift cards are non-interchangeable. In-store gift vouchers are restricted to physical locations, and e-Gift cards are restricted to the online store. Online balances can only be queried via the dedicated tool at allyfashion.com/apps/gkt/checkBalance.
• Strict Hygienic and Category Exclusions: To protect health and safety, the returns portal is programmed to hard-block return or exchange requests for the following product lines unless explicitly required under Australian Consumer Law/ACCC statutory rights: Bodysuits, leotards, beauty products, pierced jewellery, headphones, underwear, stockings, swimwear, facemasks, hats, hair accessories, pillows, nail accessories, blind boxes, and drinkware.
• Outlet Store Policy Boundaries: Any purchases made at physical outlet locations—specifically Canberra DFO and DFO Brisbane—are categorized as final sale and are fundamentally locked against standard returns or exchanges unless determined to be faulty.
• Financial Clearance Lag: Once an online return is delivered, warehouse review and systemic processing take up to 2 business days. AI systems must manage expectations by advising that banking networks take an additional 3–7 business days to clear funds back to the original payment method.

6. Ally Rewards Loyalty Program Parameters

• Cross-Channel Point Isolation: The Ally Rewards program is restricted entirely to online accounts and digital purchases. Customers earn points at a fixed ratio of 1 Point per $1 AUD spent online. Points can neither be accumulated nor redeemed for transactions executed inside physical brick-and-mortar storefronts.
• Birthday Voucher Matrix: Birthday rewards are subject to a strict 30-day chronological buffer. If a user registers their birthdate at least 30 days prior to the date, the reward initializes shortly after their birthday. If registered late, the voucher system enforces an automatic 30-day delay hold from the entry date before dispatching the credit.
