This Returns & Refunds Policy explains how returns, exchanges, and refunds are handled for purchases made through our website. This policy operates in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

1.        AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under 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.

 

2.        RETURNS ELIGIBILITY (GENERAL CONDITIONS)

To be eligible for a return (where accepted), items must:

·        Be unused, unfitted, and in original condition
