You have rights under Australian Consumer Law. If an item you buy fails to work or do what you asked for, you have the right to ask for a repair, replacement or refund under the Australian Consumer Law. The remedy you're entitled to will depend on whether the issue is deemed as a minor or major issue.

You are not entitled to a replacement or refund, simply because you changed your mind, found something similar cheaper somewhere else, decided you did not like the purchase or if you ordered the wrong item.

As we offer an online retail service, it is your responsibility to ensure you check the item description and size carefully before ordering.

To lodge a claim under warranty conditions you must contact us within 5 working days from receipt of the item. We reserve the right to refuse any claims under this warranty after this period.

To make a claim, you must provide us with a copy of your tax invoice or any kind of proof showing that you purchased the item from us. You need to also describe the problem precisely, provide evidence to support your claim and state whether you are requesting a replacement, repair, refund or credit. This will enable us to review your claim.

Our company policy allows members of our team up to 10 business days for warranty claims to be investigated and resolved. Once assessed and approved by our quality assurance team you will be contacted to proceed with the return, refund or replacement process.
