Warranty claims

  1. Our Products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or a refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the Products repaired or replaced if the Products fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
  2. The Australian Consumer Law (“Law”) which forms part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) is relevant with certain statutory conditions and warranties in our consumer contracts, which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. These are in addition to any voluntary warranties offered by the manufacturer or supplier. Where there is a breach of such a warranty relating to Products, and the breach is in terms of the Law, a “major” failure, then the remedy will be limited to a refund or a replacement of your preference. In all other cases, a breach of such warranty will give rise to a refund or replacement at our preference.
  3. We provide the following express warranties subject to the following terms and conditions:
    1. We will refund, give store credit or replace the Product as the case may be in the circumstances and to the extent required under the Law if the Product you receive
      1. does not match the description on the website except for slight variations in colour due to the screen settings of your computer or mobile device;
      2. is substantially unfit for its intended or disclosed purpose;
      3. is not of acceptable quality (as defined in the Law);
      4. is unsafe; or
      5. if the alleged issue with the Product is such that a reasonable consumer aware of the issue would not have acquired the Product.
    2. Where a refund, a store credit or replacement is to be provided under the terms of this warranty, we may to the extent permitted under the Law, require the return of the Product to us before refunding or replacing it. We will pay for, or reimburse you for, any shipping costs to return the original Product to us.
    3. Replacement products are subject to the same warranties as the original.
    4. You must retain your proof of purchase for any manufacturer warranty claims.
    5. Refunds will be made back to the payment option you chose with your original order. This can only be processed back onto the same card that original payment was taken from.
    6. In order to obtain these remedies, you must
      • notify us within a reasonable time from supply of the goods. In this context, a ‘reasonable time’ is from the time of supply until a time that it would be reasonable to expect the relevant failure to become apparent, considering the nature of goods. In most cases, this will be 7 to 14 days, but in some circumstances may be longer. Please contact us our Customer Care Team via the Help Center.
      • Except if and to the extent the Law requires otherwise, return the original Product to us.
    2. We aim to process refunds and replacements within 30 days of receipt by us of the original Product.

In case of return being rejected, you will pay for the return freight costs and any inspection costs reasonably incurred.
    4. Where any law implies a warranty into this agreement, which may not be lawfully excluded, then to the extent allowed by law, our Liability for breach of the warranty will at our option be limited to:
      • The replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods
      • The repair of the goods
      • The payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods
