All products sold by i5joints have a "dead on arrival" (DOA) Warranty. This means that in the unlikely event if the product is damaged during the delivery process and a claim is made within a week from the date of dispatch, we will replace or repair the product at our discretion and our cost. If we have no further stock of the item and cannot be repaired, i5joints may replace it with a similar product.

If the damage is discovered outside the DOA period, please contact i5joints  Support Team, who will determine whether circumstances are such that you can still proceed with a claim. This Warranty does not apply to damage packaging only and does not detract from your statutory rights. In the unlikely event that you receive a product that has been damaged in transit, please endeavor to inform our support team immediately. We require that all damage in transit claims are done within the first seven days of receipt of goods.

If the fault is reported within the first seven days from delivery, you will be supplied with a new replacement product of the total purchase price.

The credit or refund will be for the purchase price of the product. If the unit experiences a minor repairable fault, we will elect whether to repair, replace or refund your product under Warranty.

If the product is replaced, any remaining warranty period will roll over to cover the replacement.

Consumer Guarantees 

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled at our election to a refund or to have the goods repaired or replaced if goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Our liability under this Warranty is subject to us being satisfied that a defect was caused by defective workmanship and was not caused by other factors beyond human control, including but not limited to any neglect, misuse, or excessive use.

If you believe an item is faulty, you may have rights to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law. These rights are not impacted by the change of mind policy or limited by a defined timeframe other than the time for rejection of goods with a major failure. Once a return is authorized, as you can appreciate, we will need to assess the product to determine the nature of the issue and how we can help you, be it a refund, store credit, exchange, or repair.

Where an item is damaged through misuse or abnormal use, i5joints is not liable, and you may not be entitled to a refund or replacement.

Limitation of Liability

Our liability to the customer (and any party claiming through the customer against us) for any claim for loss or damages (including legal expenses) made in connection with the contract (including the supply of goods described in the agreement) whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under the statute, in equity or otherwise shall be strictly limited as follows (except to the extent that the law prohibits such a limitation)

(i) for any liability arising from Goods not meeting the specification or which are said to be otherwise defective or deficient, our liability is limited to the cost of replacement of those Goods as soon as reasonably practicable, or the repair of those goods or the repayment (or allowance) of the Purchase Price of those Goods

(ii) For any liability arising from the services forming part of the Goods not meeting the scope

Any claim by the customer regarding defective, non-conforming, or damaged goods must be made in writing within seven days of the delivery of the Goods unless a more extended period is expressly agreed to by us in writing.

• (i) the cost of removal of Goods not meeting the specification or which are said to be otherwise defective or deficient, whether installed or otherwise;
• (ii) the cost of installing replacements for Goods not meeting the specification or which are said to be otherwise defective or deficient.

i5joints provides a voluntary warranty and applies the Guarantees required by law. 

The Guarantees provide that:

• (i) The product will be free from defects other than those which i5joints specifically brings to your attention before the sale;

• (iv) The product matches any description provided on our website or labeling or packaging;

If the product does not fulfill any of these guarantees, then, provided the claim is made within any period prescribed by law, 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 request on its merits on a case by case basis and, if required, will negotiate a solution that is acceptable to i5joints and you, including any costs involved

We do not provide refunds, credit, or exchange if you have:

Damaged the product by using it in a way it was not meant to be used. You had a defect drawn to your attention before you purchased the product; for example, when products are clearly labeled as seconds or faulty, the Change-of-Mind period has elapsed, and the product matches the description provided on our website and is free from manufacturing defects or faults.

Where the Change-of-Mind period has elapsed and where Customer Service has determined that on the facts you have provided, a claim may be granted. We will not accept the return of a product without approval from i5joints Support Team.

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 our support team.

These expenses may include the postage for the return of the product to us, the postage of returning the product to you, as well as the cost incurred for the service and the inspection. An estimate of these costs is provided to you before the product is collected.

Where a warranty claim or a claim under a statutory guarantee is granted, any refund will include all delivery and related costs for the product. Where a non-warranty claim or non-statutory guarantee is granted, any refund will be for the cost of the goods only and will exclude all related fees. No refund or replacement will be given until we have received the product from you. 

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 provided to you at your cost.
