All our product comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. You’re entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure. You’re also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality, but the failure does not amount to a major failure. If you believe your product to be faulty, please contact our Customer Service Team. We may request photos of the faulty claim prior to approving the return. We may also consult with the supplier or manufacturer to determine if the item is faulty. If the item is found to be faulty, you will receive a full refund for that item including the delivery charge unless the delivery charge has been previously refunded for that order.

If the problem has been identified as major failure, you are entitled to a replacement, repair or refund. Examples of major failure are when the product: has a problem that would have stopped you buying it had you known about it; is unsafe; is significantly different from the description of the product; or doesn’t do what we said it would do. It does not include damage caused by misuse or returns simply due to change of mind. If the problem is not major, we may choose to give you a free repair instead of a replacement or refund where possible. If we cannot repair the product within a reasonable time period, you can choose a refund or replacement. We reserve the right to refuse to provide a refund, repair or replacement if the problem has, for instance, arisen because the product was misused by the customer.

Some of our products come with an additional manufacturer’s warranty as indicated in the documentation provided with the relevant products. Should you wish to make any claim under a manufacturer’s warranty, you can do so directly with the relevant manufacturer. However, our friendly customer service team can also assist you with any enquiry of this nature.
