Faulty Items & Australian Consumer Law
Under the ACL, you are entitled to a remedy if a product is faulty.
The type of remedy depends on whether the fault is minor or major.
Minor Faults
A minor fault is one that:
- Does not significantly affect the item’s function or appearance, and
- Can be fixed within a reasonable time
Examples include:
- Loose or excess threads
- Minor stitching inconsistencies
- Small cosmetic imperfections that do not affect wearability
For minor faults, we may offer:
- Repair
- Replacement
- Another suitable remedy at our discretion
Refunds are not required for minor faults under Australian Consumer Law.
Major Faults (Refund Eligible)
A refund will only be issued if the item is deemed to have a major failure under Australian Consumer Law.
A major failure occurs if:
- The item is unsafe
- The item is significantly different from its description or sample
- The item has a serious defect that cannot be repaired
- The item is unfit for its normal purpose and cannot easily be fixed
If a major fault is confirmed, you are entitled to:
- A refund, or
- A replacement, or
- Another remedy agreed upon
All assessments are made in line with ACCC guidelines.
Assessment of Faults
All faulty item claims are assessed individually.
We may request:
- Clear photos or videos
- A description of the issue
- The item to be returned for inspection
Items showing normal wear and tear, misuse, incorrect sizing, failure to follow care instructions, or hygiene breaches are not considered faulty under ACL.
Return Shipping for Faults
- If an item is confirmed as majorly faulty, we will cover reasonable return postage costs
- If the item is assessed as minorly faulty or not faulty, return postage remains the responsibility of the customer
