Australian Consumer Law (ACL) Compliance Policy
1. Commitment to Australian Consumer Law
We are committed to complying fully with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which forms part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.
This policy outlines the rights of consumers and our obligations when providing goods and services through our website.
Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any consumer rights guaranteed under Australian law.
2. Consumer Guarantees
Under the Australian Consumer Law, consumers are entitled to certain guarantees when purchasing goods from our store. These guarantees include that goods must:
-
Be of acceptable quality
-
Be fit for their intended purpose
-
Match their description and any representations made
-
Be free from defects, unless clearly disclosed
These guarantees apply automatically and cannot be waived.
3. Remedies for Major and Minor Failures
If a product fails to meet a consumer guarantee, customers are entitled to remedies as follows:
Major Failure
A major failure occurs when the product:
-
Has a serious defect
-
Is significantly different from its description
-
Is unsafe
-
Cannot be repaired within a reasonable time
In the case of a major failure, customers are entitled to choose between a refund or a replacement, or may seek compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss.
Minor Failure
For minor failures that can be remedied, we may offer a repair, replacement, or refund within a reasonable timeframe.
4. Returns and Refunds Under ACL
Returns and refunds provided under the Australian Consumer Law apply regardless of any store return policy.
Proof of purchase may be required to process a claim under ACL.
Refunds approved under ACL will be processed within 1–5 business days after the returned item has been received and verified.
5. Exclusions and Limitations
The Australian Consumer Law does not apply to:
-
Change-of-mind returns
-
Damage caused by misuse, neglect, or improper care
-
Normal wear and tear
-
Issues clearly disclosed prior to purchase
These exclusions do not affect rights where a product has a major or minor failure under ACL.
6. Process for Making a Consumer Law Claim
To make a claim under Australian Consumer Law, customers should:
-
Contact us by email with the order number
-
Provide a clear description of the issue
-
Include photos or supporting information where applicable
Each claim will be reviewed individually to ensure a fair and timely resolution in accordance with ACL requirements.
7. Compliance and Transparency
