13 Your Statutory Rights – Repairs and Refunds
(a) The Australian Consumer Law, which is Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), provides certain statutory guarantees in respect of the products we supply to you if those products are of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use and consumption, or cost less than $40,000, and are not re-supplied by you. These statutory guarantees give you certain rights that we cannot exclude, restrict or modify, except in the limited circumstances set out in clause 13(i) below.
(b) As outlined more fully in the Australian Consumer Law, if a good we supply to you fails to meet a statutory guarantee and that failure cannot be remedied or is a “major failure”, subject to the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to return the good to Along came Amy and receive a full refund or replacement (at your election). Alternatively, you may (at your election) choose to keep the good and recover from us the difference between the price you paid for the good and the value of the good.
(c) As outlined more fully in the Australian Consumer Law, if a good we supply to you fails to meet a statutory guarantee and that failure can be remedied and is not a “major failure”, subject to the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to ask us to remedy the failure. We are entitled to choose how we remedy the failure, including by either:
(i) repairing the goods;
(ii) replacing the goods; or
(iii) providing a full refund including the delivery fee.
(d) The statutory guarantees referred to in this clause may not apply to all products sold on the Website. You accept and acknowledge that the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law will determine:
(i) which products are covered by such statutory guarantees; and

(e) The statutory guarantees are in addition to any rights you may have under any voluntary or express warranties offered by Along came Amy or any other manufacturer or supplier of the products. Except as expressly set out in clause 13(i) below nothing in this Agreement excludes, restricts or modifies your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
(f) Replacement products are subject to the same warranties as the original.
(g) You must notify us of the relevant fault or failure within a reasonable time of supply of the goods or the time that it would be reasonable to expect the relevant failure to become apparent, considering the nature of the goods.
(h) Goods that develop a defect may also be covered by a manufacturer warranty. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer regarding returns and repairs. You must retain your proof of order for any manufacturer warranty claims.
(i) Limitation of liability for statutory guarantees: Where the products we supply to you are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, our liability to you for failure to meet a statutory guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law (other than our liability for guarantees as to title, undisclosed securities and undisturbed possession, which we cannot limit) is limited to doing one or more of the following (at our election):
(i) in the case of goods:
(A) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;
(B) the repair of the goods;
(C) the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or acquiring equivalent goods; or
(D) the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and
(ii) in the case of services:
(A) the supply of the services again; or
(B) the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again. We cannot limit our liability in this way if you establish that it would not be fair or reasonable for us to do so.

(e) Refunds will be issued using the original method of payment and will not include delivery charges.
(f) We aim to process returns within 5 business days of receipt by us of the original product and any other required information from you.
(g) Subject to your rights under the statutory guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law (see clause 13 above), we will not refund a purchase or replace a product where the product has been lost, destroyed or disposed of by you, or where in our reasonable opinion the product has following sale to you been damaged or become of unacceptable quality due to misuse, failure to use it in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, using it in an abnormal way or failure to take reasonable care.
