Understanding Returns Policies:

Important information for buyers: your legal right to return goods
As an Australian consumer, you have a legal right to return goods purchased from a business and to obtain a repair, replacement or refund if, the goods:

• Are faulty or develop a fault within a reasonable period of time after purchase
• Are not fit for their purpose any purpose you stated or that the buyer made known to you (i.e. they don’t do what the seller said they would do)
• Don’t match the seller’s description or sample
• Are of unacceptable quality, or
• Fail to meet other mandatory consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.

Buyers’ Rights:

Where goods fall into one of the above categories the buyer is entitled to:

• A replacement or refund for a major failure, and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage or
• A replacement or repair if the goods otherwise fail to be of acceptable quality.

To exercise these rights, the buyer should contact the Seller and may be required to return the goods and to provide proof of purchase.

Please note: The buyer must not have caused or contributed to the failure of the goods, for example, by damaging or misusing the goods.
