Our Returns Policy includes, and does not seek to exclude or limit, the rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. The warranties and product support that we offer and provide pursuant to our Terms and Conditions are in addition to the consumer warranties and guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.

 

Minor and major faults, short or long-term failure:

The Company guarantees to the purchaser that the goods will be free from defects caused by faulty materials or poor workmanship for a reasonable period of time based on the product's value and intended purpose(i.e, generally no longer than 12 months from the date of purchase for domestic use, unless it is reasonably expected to be a longer period of time) and for a period no longer than 90 calendar days from the date of purchase for commercial use unless otherwise stated in the listing or advertisement at the time of purchase. This warranty does not cover minor accessories or attachments or consumable parts, including but not limited to, chainsaw chains, pull starts, cutting blades or discs, instrument strings, product bags and cases, and carry straps etc. Examination by the company of such goods (or photos of the faulty goods if requested) shall disclose to its satisfaction that such defects exist and have not been caused by misuse, neglect, accident, improper storage, installation or handling, other incorrect or lack of proper maintenance, opening cartons with blades, or by repair or alteration not affected by the company. Further item specific failures for products such as fuel powered products, trampolines, outdoor structures (gazebos, tents, and umbrellas), bedding, and pool covers are detailed later in this document.

Defects and failures not covered by warranty include, but are not limited to:

• Damage due to user misuse or use in a manner contrary to the operating instructions

• Damage resulting from the item being used in a manner other than originally intended as advertised

• Improper or neglected maintenance including oiling and cleaning where required

• Improper storage or neglect to properly prepare the item for storage

• Exposing products to the elements where the product advertisement does not specifically state that the product is weatherized or can be left outdoors (i.e., power tools, camping products, jockey wheels, trailer accessories).

• Incorrect fuel or oil use, including 2-stroke fuel mixture where applicable

• Items sold as ex-demo, or used unless otherwise stated in the advertisement at time of sale

• Comfort choice issues relating to mattresses, beds, couches and furniture (i.e., too firm or too soft) will not give rise to a warranty claim as comfort is a subjective notion and will not be considered a manufacturing fault.

• Body impression on mattresses, sofas and chairs where the indentation is less than 52mm and moderate sagging over time is considered normal wear and tear, and does not give rise to a warranty claim.

Items, parts, and accessories not covered by warranty include, but are not limited to:

• The Australian Consumer Law provides certain guarantees to consumers when they purchase goods and these guarantees cannot be excluded, restricted or modified.

The time limit of consumer guarantees varies depending on the price and quality of the goods and may extend beyond this warranty or any applicable warranty provided by the manufacturer of the goods.

• On occasion The Company may supply a full or partial refund as compensation for item damage, failure, or restricted function, subject to this being permitted under Australian Consumer Law, and agreed to between The Company and the Purchaser.

• Unless otherwise stated in the advertisement this warranty does not apply to items sold as ex-demo, or used.

• If no fault is found, or products or parts exhibit signs of physical damage, or neglect, the Purchaser will be responsible for reimbursing The Company the shipping costs to and from the Purchaser, and inspections costs equating to $120.00 per hour, on a pro rata basis, relating to the time spent inspecting and checking the product or part returned.

• If a product is too large or too heavy and the Purchaser did not pick up the product from the Company’s premises, The Company will arrange for it to be returned to the Company at its expense, for inspection, within a reasonable period of time after being informed that a fault exists.
