Refund Policy
Last updated: 9 October 2026
Your rights under Australian Consumer Law
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract with us and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
Faulty or damaged products
If your product is faulty, damaged or not as described, please contact us with your order number and a description or photos of the problem. We may need to test the item or refer it to the manufacturer. Depending on the fault, we will repair, replace or refund the item in line with the Australian Consumer Law.
Change of mind
We are happy to consider change-of-mind returns within 7 days of purchase, provided the item is unused, undamaged and in its original, unopened packaging with all accessories and proof of purchase. Change-of-mind returns after 7 days, or items reported as "not wanted" or "incorrectly ordered", may attract a restocking fee of up to 30% of the purchase price. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs on change-of-mind returns.
Items that cannot be returned for change of mind
• Special-order or custom-ordered items
• Items that have been installed, opened, configured or used
• Hard drives and storage devices that have been opened (for data security reasons)
• Cables cut to length
• Software, licences and subscriptions once activated
