Return Policy for Australia

At Shopify, we do everything we can to ensure you are happy with your purchase, but we know that sometimes a product is just not right. We’ve made our return policy as easy as possible.
The rights outlined in this return policy are in addition to and subject to the Australian Consumer Law and any other applicable Australian laws. This policy does not exclude or replace your consumer guarantee rights under the Australian Consumer Law described below (see the “Consumer Guarantees” section below)

Please see the full POS Equipment Agreement below.

Please note: If you did not receive the items that you ordered or are missing items that were supposed to come with your hardware, please reach out to the Shopify support team via the contact page here. We can only process these requests within 30 days after delivery.

Requirements

Within 30 Days - You must request a return within 30 days of the product being shipped to you. Returns must be shipped back to our warehouse within 7 days of receiving your return label.

Includes original packaging and product in new condition - Any returned product(s) must be returned in all of their original packaging, and in like-new condition. Shopify may reject the returned product if there is damage to the product and/or product packaging.

If a product is deemed unfit for return, Shopify will notify you that the return has been rejected and no refund will be issued to the customer. The customer can choose one of the following options:

1. The product will be shipped back to the customer at a shipping cost of $45; or
2. The product will be recycled.

If you do not select one of the above options within 14 days of Shopify informing you that your return has been rejected, the product will be recycled.

Free Return Shipping - All orders shipped to Australia are eligible for free return shipping using a carrier that we’ve selected. Please follow the instructions below. We are not responsible for risk of loss or damage for returning a product during shipment.

For orders outside Australia, customers are responsible for purchasing a label and sending the item(s) back to our warehouse. If you provide us with proof of shipment and cost, we can authorize a Shopify subscription credit for the cost.

Due to the nature of physical gift cards we are unable to offer any returns/refunds on gift card orders once they have been printed. If a gift card order has moved to the proofing stage but not printed, a $15 charge will apply, which will be taken from the refund provided.

We offer full refund or exchange for any order received in defective or damaged condition, or missing items, within 30 days from date of purchase. You will be refunded through your original payment method. In the event you are missing an item from your order, please contact via the contact page here.

Instructions

As long as your return adheres to the requirements described above, follow these steps to return your product(s):

1. If you purchased hardware before November 4, please fill out the return form at http://shophardwareau.returnscenter.com
2. If you purchased hardware after November 4, please fill out the return form at http://hardwarestore.returnscenter.com
3. After reviewing your return form, we will email you a return label. Print out the return label and securely attach it to a suitable shipping box.
4. Drop the package off at the shipping carrier’s closest location.

We will receive and review the products you have returned. If the returned products have met all of our return policy requirements, we will process the refund and send you a confirmation email. We are only able to credit the original payment method used to make the purchase. Please allow up to 8-15 business days for this process. 

If you have any questions or concerns about making a return, feel free to contact the Shopify support team via the contact page here.

CONSUMER GUARANTEES

Under the Australian Consumer Law you are entitled to certain consumer guarantees in respect of goods purchased from us. These guarantees are called “Consumer Guarantees” and are not impacted by our Return Policy.

If you believe the POS Equipment you’ve purchased is faulty, not of acceptable quality, does not match the description provided or is not fit for purpose, you may be entitled to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law.

In accordance with Australian Consumer Law, if the failure is minor, we may (at our discretion) repair the item, replace the item or refund you, within a reasonable time. If the item has a major failure, you may reject it and seek a refund or replacement.

The consumer guarantees do not apply where the item was damaged due to abnormal use or misuse, loss or damage and we will not provide a refund, exchange or repair in those circumstances.

POS EQUIPMENT AGREEMENT

These terms apply to the purchase of Shopify POS hardware products. By placing an order for POS hardware, you accept and agree to the terms of this agreement.

Availability

Every effort is made to maintain sufficient stock of all the products we offer. Potential inventory shortages at our distributor may impact our ability to fulfill an order. We reserve the right to cancel an order if we are, for any reason, unable to fulfill the order requirements. If we are unable to fulfill an order, we will notify you by email.

Shipping

Inventory shortages or other fulfillment issues may cause delays. Your order is shipped using a carrier that we have selected. We cover the shipping fee as long as the shipping address is located in Australia. Once you place your order on our online store, we will provide you with an estimated delivery time. Please allow 1-2 business days for processing + delivery. Every effort is made to facilitate the delivery of your order on time. After your order is processed and fulfilled, we will send you an email containing the order tracking number. Once your order is fulfilled and placed in the hands of our selected shipping carrier, we cannot guarantee any delivery date indicated by the carrier.

Returns and Refunds

At Shopify, we do everything we can to ensure you are happy with your purchase, but we know that sometimes a product is just not right. You may return your hardware within 30 days of it being shipped to you, as long as it is in new condition and has the original packaging.

No returns are accepted over 30 days. We only accept returns of the hardware we sell directly to you. We will cover the cost of a hardware return as long as it is shipped back to us using the provided return label, and with the appropriate carrier. Priority shipping charges selected at checkout are non-refundable. If we suspect you’re abusing the return policy (for example by returning products on multiple occasions or on a seasonal basis), we reserve the right to refuse your return.

End-users and resellers

Our hardware packages are designed with love and care specifically for Shopify merchants. We reserve the right to refuse selling and shipping any product to you if we have reason to believe you are not a Shopify customer. Likewise, customer support is only available to the original hardware purchaser. We do not currently sell to or work with resellers.

Warranties

We sell a combination of our own and third party hardware to create a modern point-of-sale.

The following Shopify products come with a standard 1 year warranty included with POS Lite, and an extended 2 year warranty included as part of POS Pro. More information is included in the links below:

• WisePad 3 Reader

Please Note:

The warranty on the units described above are based on the original unit’s fulfillment date. A replacement unit does not extend the 1 year warranty included with POS Lite, or the extended 2 year warranty included as part of POS Pro.

These warranties cover defects in manufacturing discovered while using the product as recommended by the manufacturer. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, abuse, unauthorized modification, improper storage conditions, lightning, or natural disasters. Please contact the Shopify support team via the contact page here.

All third party products resold by us are covered by their original manufacturers’ warranties. Please check with the manufacturer directly for further information.

Limitation of Liability

Shopify does not accept liability for the purchase, use or return of POS hardware or other products beyond the remedies set forth herein, including but not limited to any liability for product not being available for use, lost profits, loss of business or for lost or corrupted data or software, or the provision of services and support. Shopify will not be liable for any consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages or for any claim by any third party. You agree that for any liability related to the purchase of products, Shopify is not liable or responsible for any amount of damages above the amount invoiced for the applicable product. Some jurisdictions may not enforce all of these limitations, and only the limitations that are lawfully applied to you in your jurisdiction will apply.
