Faulty Product
Under the Australian Consumer Law, you can choose a refund or exchange if an item has a major problem. This is when the item:
- has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about it;
- is unsafe;
- is significantly different from the sample or description; or
- doesn’t do what we said it would, or what you asked for and can’t be easily fixed
Warranties
If a product is defective, please contact Warranties as soon as you are made aware of the problem. A repair, replacement, or refund will be organised and will generally occur after consulting with the manufacturer or supplier.
Any repairs that may need to be carried out will be done so by the manufacturer and not by Outback Equipment. If a repair cannot be made, then Outback Equipment will endeavour to have the item replaced or a refund will be offered.
Note: Goods are only warranted for defects in manufacturing. The standard warranty across most products is 12 months unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.

If a product is deemed faulty and is required to be returned, Outback Equipment will provide a Postage Paid label. This only applies to claims made within 60 days from purchase. Any claims made outside this period will be considered a warranty claim and postage will therefore need to be incurred by the customer.
For any change-of-mind or incorrectly chosen purchases that need to be returned, the cost of return postage will be incurred by the customer.
- All returns must include a copy of the order invoice with reasons for return to ensure faster processing.
- Shipping insurance is encouraged as items that are lost or damaged upon return will not be our responsibility
- In the event that a return has been assessed, denied, and deemed to be returned to the customer the cost of return postage will be incurred by the customer.
Fitment or Assembly of Goods
For goods that require fitment or assembly our return policy cannot extend beyond the value/cost of the item ordered. This is in large part because the performance of these items is dependent on correct fitment, assembly, and operation. The part must only be fitted by a qualified person. Failure to comply with manufacturer’s specifications may result in property damage, severe injury, or death.
Goods should also be carefully inspected for marks, scratches, or any damage prior to installation. No warranty claims of this nature will be accepted once fitted or modified.
