This returns policy describes generally how we manage product returns. Returns remain subject to our Website Terms of Use. If you would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Our goods are Australian-sourced and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Additionally, our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
A product or good has a major failure when:
- it has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about it;
- it is significantly different from the sample or description;
- it is substantially unfit for its common purpose and can’t easily be fixed within a reasonable time;
- it doesn’t do what you asked for and can’t easily be fixed within a reasonable time; or
- it is unsafe.
Importantly, the rights described in this policy are in addition to the statutory rights to which you may be entitled under the Australian Consumer Law and other applicable Australian consumer protection laws and regulations.
Please note there may be limitations on your right to return and obtain a refund for products, however these limits will always be subject to your statutory rights.
