In accordance with the ACCC guidelines, the decision to repair, replace, warrant, repair for a fee or replace with a similar item, is at our discretion based on our professional assessment of the product and the manufacturer's original guarantees or warranty. This may not always align with the choice you've requested on this form.
If this product is PPE, and it fails a safety inspection (other than for the return reason specified on this request), then the assessment will cease. You will be informed and the product quarantined and will NOT be returned to you due to our legal requirements and manufacturers direction. If it's Petzl, please follow the Petzl PPE Inspection Procedure and Inspection Form for your product to make sure it is safe before submitting this request. i.e. if you submit a piece of equipment for a fault but another area of the equipment has excessive wear or damage that renders it as 'do not use' or 'retire' under manufacturers guidelines, we cannot return it to you and cannot process your support request.
If you return equipment in an unhygienic condition, that our Support Team cannot handle, it will be returned to you for cleaning before processing a support request. Please ensure all items returned are washed and in a clean and dry condition.
All fabric items MUST BE WASHED i.e. mats, tents, harnesses, socks, sleeping bags, chairs, hats, towels...
