10. Australian Consumer Law

This Return Policy is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Under the Australian Consumer Law, you have guaranteed consumer rights for products and services you purchase, including:

10.1 Consumer Guarantees

Products must be:

  • Of acceptable quality
  • Fit for any purpose specified by you or the seller
  • Match the description provided
  • Match any sample or demonstration model

10.2 Remedies for Major Failures

If a product has a major failure (a problem that would have stopped you from buying it if you had known about it), you can:

  • Reject the product and receive a refund
  • Reject the product and exchange it for a similar product

10.3 Remedies for Minor Failures

If the failure is minor, we can choose to provide a free repair instead of a replacement or refund. However, you can choose a refund or replacement if:

  • The product cannot be repaired or it is unreasonable to repair it
  • You did not receive the repaired product within a reasonable time
  • The failure has not been fixed after one repair attempt

10.4 Change of Mind

Please note that under Australian Consumer Law, we are not required to provide a refund or replacement if you simply change your mind about a product. However, we may offer this as a gesture of goodwill in accordance with this Return Policy.

11. International Returns

At this time, we primarily ship within Australia. If you are an international customer who has received a product from us:

  • Contact our customer service team to discuss return options
  • International return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer
  • Customs duties and taxes are non-refundable
  • Returns may take longer to process due to international shipping times

We recommend that international customers carefully review product information before purchasing, as international returns can be costly and time-consuming.

Refunds for cancelled orders will be processed within 3-5 business days and will be issued to the original payment method.
