Statutory Conditions and Warranties: Merchandising Libraries provide a voluntary warranty and applies the Conditions and Warranties required by law. For all products sold, Merchandising Libraries provides conditions and warranties contained in the Commonwealth Trade Practices Act 1974. The warranties provide that the product is clear of finance or encumbrances; and you will have free title to the product. If the product does not fulfill any of these conditions or warranties then, provided the claim is made within a reasonable period after the sale, you may be entitled, at your discretion, to a refund, replacement of the product or to have it repaired. A reasonable period depends on the circumstances of each sale including but not limited to the nature, quality and price of the product. 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 Merchandising Libraries and you including any costs involved. For more information about your rights as a consumer, download a free copy of the Warranties and Refunds Guide at the ACCC website here: https://www.accc.gov.au Exceptions: Merchandising Libraries will not provide a refund, credit or exchange if: You have damaged the product by using it in a way, other than how it was meant to be used. You have had a defect drawn to your attention before you purchased the product, for example, when products are clearly labelled as seconds or faulty. Voluntary Warranty Policy All products sold by Merchandising Libraries have a “dead on arrival” (DOA) warranty. This means that if the product is damaged during delivery and a claim is made within 2 days from first attempt of delivery, Merchandising Libraries will replace or repair the product at our discretion and our cost. If Merchandising Libraries have no further stock of the item and it cannot be repaired Merchandising Libraries 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. Manufacturers Voluntary Warranty Many of the products supplied by Merchandising Libraries are covered by Manufacturers voluntary warranty. The terms and conditions of such warranties are beyond our control and it is your choice whether to use such warranties. Where possible the time of such warranty will be shown on our website.
