Except as required by law, we do not warrant the quality of the Products or warrant that they will meet your expectations. We do not provide refunds except as required under the Australian Consumer Law, and as set out below. For example, we do not provide refunds for changes of mind, where a problem with the Products is due to your misuse, failure to comply with manufacturer's and our instructions, where you fail to take reasonable care, or where you fail to provide us with adequate information.

This Money Back Guarantee is in addition to, and does not affect, your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

 
If we need to cancel your order, we will provide a refund

On occasion we may cancel an order for a Product where we are unable to fulfil it. In these or similar circumstances where we have to cancel an order, we will provide you with a full refund. In some instances, where we cannot fulfil part of your order, we will call you and ask if you would like a replacement or substitution product or refund. We have the right to refuse, limit or cancel any order for our Products, including, but not limited to, where an order appears to be by resellers or distributors without permission.
