Australian Consumer Law

Products sold by Aidacare Pty Limited ABN 40 134 398 833 (Aidacare) come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. Consumers are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Consumers are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.  

A "major failure" as defined in the Australian Consumer Law broadly is one where a reasonable consumer would not have acquired the goods had the consumer been fully aware of the failure, the goods are unsafe, substantially unfit for purpose or departed significantly from the demonstration model or sample. In this regard you should refer to the Australian Consumer Law.

Consumer guarantees cannot be excluded and are in addition to any express warranty (warranty against defects) you are given.

There may be circumstances where you are not entitled to a remedy.

Express Warranty 

In addition to all rights and remedies to which consumers may be entitled under Australian Consumer Law and any other relevant legislation, Aidacare offers a further Express Warranty for products.

The benefits given to consumers by the Express Warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies that may be available under a law in relation to the products to which the Express Warranty relates. This Express Warranty does not exclude, restrict or modify any such statutory rights or remedies.

Aidacare warrants the products sold by it are free from defects in material and workmanship for the warranty periods specified.

When will goods be accepted for return?

1. When there is deemed to be a breach of a Guarantee under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable consumer protection laws or regulations; or 

2. When there is deemed to be a breach of any express warranty given by Aidacare or the manufacturer of the goods, and the goods are returned in accordance with the terms of that warranty.

No change of mind returns

Please choose carefully as returns and refunds are not possible where you have changed your mind, made a wrong selection or found the goods cheaper elsewhere. Please carefully review the goods and ask as many questions as possible to decide the goods are appropriate for you before proceeding with your final purchase.

Assessment and condition of goods for acceptable return

(a)   accompanied by valid proof of purchase documentation from Aidacare; 

(b)  unaltered, unmodified, unmarked, undamaged and complete with instruction manuals, tags, labels and accessories supplied with the goods as part of the purchase;

Please note that it may be necessary for the manufacturer of the goods to inspect the goods in order to assess eligibility for return. Aidacare will endeavour to procure such assessment within a reasonable time.

While goods are being assessed, Aidacare will not be deemed to have accepted the goods for return.

Non-returnable goods

Other than any remedies under Australian Consumer Law or other relevant legislation, goods which are used in a way or environment that would create OH&S and hygiene risks may not be returned. This includes any goods that may have been soiled or exposed to biological contamination.

Aidacare will endeavour to procure such acceptance within a reasonable time.

Restocking Fee 

Aidacare reserves the right to apply a restocking fee of 20%. The customer will be contacted after the goods have been assessed to advise if the restocking fee applies.

Delivery Charges

Where upon assessment it is confirmed that goods have breached a consumer guarantee under Australian Consumer Law, any shipping costs to return the goods to Aidacare will be at Aidacare’s cost. If the goods have not breached a consumer guarantee under Australian Consumer Law, any shipping costs to return the goods to Aidacare will be paid for by the consumer. 

What happens when your goods are accepted for return?

1. For a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee which is not a "major failure", Aidacare may either: 

(a) have the goods repaired or provide an identical replacement; or 

(b) provide a refund of the amount paid for the goods; within a reasonable time.
