You have the right to ask for a replacement or refund under Australian Consumer Law for products and services. However, the consumer guarantees do not apply if you got what you asked for but simply changed your mind, found it cheaper somewhere else, decided you did not like the purchase or had no use for it.
Under Australian Law, we only offer a monetary refund if you experience a major problem with the product, which is defined as:
- it has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about it
- it is unsafe
- it is significantly different from the sample or description
- it doesn’t do what the business said it would, or what you asked for and can’t easily be fixed.
Under Australian Consumer Law, you may seek compensation for damages and losses you suffer due to a problem with a product if we could have reasonably foreseen the problem. This is in addition to your replacement or refund. We are not required to pay for damages or losses that:
- are not caused by our conduct, or our products
- relate to something independent of our business, after the goods leave our control
