WARRANTIES

Statutory Conditions and Warranties:

Candy Bar Sydney provides a voluntary warranty and applies the Conditions and Warranties required by law.

For all products sold, Candy Bar Sydney 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 Candy Bar Sydney and you including any costs involved.

For more information about your rights as a consumer, see the ACCC website at www.accc.gov.au or download a free copy of the Warranties and Refunds Guide athttp://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/322947.

Exceptions: Candy Bar Sydney do 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 Candy Bar Sydney 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, Candy Bar Sydney will replace or repair the product at our discretion and our cost. If Candy Bar Sydney have no further stock of the item and it cannot be repaired Candy Bar Sydney will replace it with a similar product or offer you a full refund.

If the damage is discovered outside the 2 day period, contact Customer Service who will determine whether circumstances are such that you can still proceed with a claim.

This warranty does not apply to damaged packaging only and does not detract from your statutory rights.

Manufacturers Voluntary Warranty

Many of the products supplied by Candy Bar Sydney are covered by a manufacturer's 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.

For some products it may be more efficient for you to contact the manufacturer rather than Candy Bar Sydney. This is particularly so for electronic equipment.

A manufacturer's warranty does not detract from your statutory rights.

Making a Claim

To make a claim you must

Provide us with a copy of your tax invoice or similar proof that the item was purchased from us.

Describe accurately the problem you have encountered and provide evidence (eg a photograph) to support your claim

State whether you are requesting a replacement, repair, refund or credit

Return of Product for Warranty Claim

We will not accept the return of a product without approval from our Customer Service Team. Where possible, the product must be packed in the original, unmarked packaging including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration that was delivered with the product.

We reserve the right to test any returned product, and to ask you to demonstrate that the problem with the product was not your fault. After the product has been returned a final decision on granting the claim will be made by Customer Services. 

Where it is agreed that the claim is valid a replacement or repaired product will be returned to you at our expense.

Where upon receipt of the returned product we determine that the product did comply with the warranties and conditions and the condition of the product was misrepresented to us by you, the expense for the return of the product to us and the expense of returning the product to you will be deducted from your account as well as a $30.00 handling and administration fee. 

Refunds or credit

Where a warranty claim is granted any refund will include all delivery and related costs for the product. Where a non warranty claim is granted any refund will be for the cost of the goods only and will exclude all related costs. No refund or replacement will be given until we have received the product from you. Refunds will be issued via the original method of payment, so either EFT or a refund directly to your credit card. Refunded amounts must be over $10, if the refund is under this amount a credit note will be issued. Credit notes have a 36 month expiry. No refunds are given to wholesale customers instead credit notes are issued, they have no expiry and can be used with the next order. 

Replacement

Where a replacement is agreed to after a warranty claim is granted the replacement will be delivered to you at our expense after we have received your returned product. Where a non-warranty claim is granted the replacement will be delivered to you at your expense.
