Statutory Conditions and Warranties:
Any refund agreed to may be less than the purchase price depending on any use or consumption of the product which has occurred or any contribution that use by you has made to the cause of the claim.
Customer Service will consider each claim on its merits on a case by case basis and, if required, will negotiate a solution that is acceptable to AstroCreative and you including any costs involved.
For more information about your rights as a consumer, see the ACCC website at www.accc.gov.au or download a free copy of the Warranties and Refunds Guide athttp://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/322947
Voluntary Warranty Policy
All products sold by AstroCreative have a “dead on arrival” (DOA) warranty. This means that if the product is damaged during delivery and a claim is made within 7 days from first attempt of delivery, AstroCreative will replace or repair the product at our discretion and our cost. If AstroCreative have no further stock of the item and it cannot be repaired AstroCreative will replace it with a similar product or offer you a full refund.
If the damage is discovered outside the 2 day period, contact us to determine whether circumstances are such that you can still proceed with a claim. You can take advantage of this offer for up to twelve months after sale.
This warranty does not apply to damage packaging only and does not detract from your statutory rights.
Making a Claim
To make a claim you must:
- Provide us with a copy of your tax invoice or similar proof that the item was purchased from us.
- Describe accurately the problem you have encountered and provide evidence (eg a photograph) to support your claim
- State whether you are requesting a replacement, repair, refund or credit
Return of Product for Warranty Claim
Where possible, the product must be packed in the original, unmarked packaging including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration that was delivered with the product.
We reserve the right to check any returned product, and to ask you to demonstrate that the problem with the product was not your fault. After the product has been returned a final decision on granting the claim will be made by us.
Where it is agreed that the claim is valid a replacement or repaired product will be returned to you at our expense.
Where upon receipt of the returned product we determine that the product did comply with the warranties and conditions and the condition of the product was misrepresented to us by you, the expense for the return of the product to us and the expense of returning the product to you will be deducted from your account as well as a $30.00 handling and administration fee.
Consumer guarantees
As a consumer, you are entitled to the benefit of statutory consumer guarantees in respect of items purchased from AstroCreative. In accordance with Australian Consumer Law, if the item has a major failure, you may reject the item and seek a refund or exchange, or you may keep the item and seek compensation for any drop in the value of the product. Where a warranty claim is granted any refund will include all delivery and related costs for the product. Where a non warranty claim is granted any refund will be for the cost of the goods only and will exclude all related costs. No refund or replacement will be given until we have received the product from you.
Refunds
Please choose carefully as we do not offer refunds on items unless the item is faulty, significantly different from what was shown to you.
Refunds will be issued by cheque, EFT, PayPal or a credit to your account. Refunded amounts must be over $15, if the refund is under this amount a credit note will be issued.
Exchange Policy
If you receive your order and a product is not quite what you thought, or significantly different to the image on our website, we are happy to exchange your item within 2 days of you receiving your order. Goods must be returned in original packaging and in saleable condition. If the item is not returned in saleable condition, we will not exchange the products.
Sale or On Special Products
No exchange or refund will be given on-special products. If a product is exchanged the cost of shipping is paid by the customer.
