Voluntary Warranty:
This Warranty is issued by Able Scientific Pty Ltd ABN 95 891 502 620, herein after referred to as ‘Able Scientific’.
This warranty in no way restricts, modifies, or excludes your rights under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 or other similar or related acts.
1) In addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, you may also return a
product that has been purchased from Able Scientific via our online store Able: Everyday, for reasons of ‘change of mind’, within a period of 14 days from the date of receipt of the product, provided you fill in Able Scientific’s return form in full and your return satisfies the requirements in our returns policy (below). If an exchange is requested with the 14-day period after receipt by the customer, upon successful processing of your return, Able Scientific will ship the item for exchange to you at no charge. Returns outside of the 14-day period from receipt by the customer of the product for reasons of ‘change of mind’ are subject to a 20% restocking fee and return shipping for exchanges outside of the 14-day period from receipt by the customer will not be paid for by Able Scientific.
2) Pursuant to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, where the product purchased is not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic, or household use or consumption, in the case of a defective product, or a product which does not meet the consumer guarantees, Able Scientific limits its liability to:
– replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; or
– repair of the goods; or
– refund of purchase price and shipping costs.
This exclusion includes liability for any damages caused by the product or the failure of the product to perform, including any lost profits or savings or special, incidental, or consequential damages. Able Scientific reserves the right to choose the appropriate method of reparation for goods as above which do not meet the consumer guarantees.
This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim made, under this Warranty or as a tort claim (including negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim or any other claim. However, this limitation of liability will not apply to claims for personal injury.
In accordance with the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, in all other such cases as where the product is of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic, or household use or consumption, this exclusion does not apply.
Nothing in this term or Warranty excludes, restricts, or modifies any condition, warranty, right or remedy which in accordance with the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 applies to your purchase and which may not be so excluded, restricted or modified.
