Returns, Refunds & Warranty Policy

1. Australian Consumer Law Rights

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). 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 goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the ACL.

2. Change of Mind Returns

We may accept change‑of‑mind returns at our discretion, provided that:

  • The item is unused, unopened, and in original condition
  • All original packaging, labels, and accessories are included
  • Proof of purchase is provided
  • The request is made within 14 days of receiving the item

If a change‑of‑mind return is approved, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

Change‑of‑mind returns are not available for:

  • Clearance or discounted items
  • Perishable or consumable goods
  • Items that have been used, damaged, assembled, or altered
  • Items not returned in resaleable condition

3. Faulty, Defective or Misdescribed Goods

If your item is faulty, defective, or not as described, please contact us as soon as possible so we can assess the issue and provide a remedy in line with the ACL.

Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be entitled to:

  • Repair
  • Replacement
  • Refund
  • Compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss

If the product is confirmed to be faulty, we will cover all return shipping costs.

4. Damaged in Transit

If your order arrives damaged:

  • Take clear photos of the packaging and the item
  • Contact us within 48 hours of delivery
  • Provide your order number and photos

We will arrange a repair, replacement, or refund depending on the extent of the damage and your ACL rights.
