Risk of loss or damage passes to you when we despatch the goods. Please use suitable packaging for returns so items arrive in the same condition.

8. Warranty notes

• Standard warranties apply as stated on our website or invoice.
• Warranty claims do not cover labour or freight charges unless required by law.
• Contact us immediately if you believe a product is defective so we can assist.

9. Australian Consumer Law

If you are a consumer under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, you have non-excludable rights. Where goods fail to meet a consumer guarantee, you are entitled to a repair, replacement or refund and compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. This policy operates alongside those rights.
