Refund policy

This policy explains how returns, refunds and warranties work at Cardio Online, and how your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) apply.

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes your rights under the ACL.

 

100 Day Money Back Guarantee

Selected products at Cardio Online Superstore are backed by our 100 Day Money Back Guarantee.

If a product page displays a “100 Day Money Back Guarantee” label and you meet the criteria below, you may request a return within 100 days of your purchase date and receive a refund of the full purchase price (product cost and delivery cost).

This guarantee applies to change-of-mind returns and is separate from your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for a return under the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee, all of the following conditions must be met:

  • The return request must be made within 100 days of the order date

  • The product must be returned in as-new, resale condition, in full working order (see below for our definition of 'as new')

  • The product must show no damage, excessive wear, scratches, dents or modifications

  • The product must be fully disassembled in accordance with the manufacturer’s assembly instructions

  • All parts, hardware, manuals and accessories must be included

  • The product must be securely repackaged in its original packaging

  • The customer is responsible for disassembly, packaging and return shipping costs

  • Original installation fees are non-refundable

Disassembly must be completed carefully and without damage. Any damage sustained during disassembly or return transit may result in the return being declined or a partial refund issued.

What “As-New Condition” Means

For clarity, “as-new condition” means:

  • Light household use is acceptable

  • No visible cosmetic or structural damage

  • No mechanical or electronic faults

  • No missing or substituted parts

  • No third-party modifications or attachments

All returns are assessed upon arrival at our warehouse. Final approval is at Cardio Online Superstore’s discretion based on compliance with this policy.

Return Process Under the 100 Day Guarantee

To initiate a return, email info@cardioonline.com.au with:

  • Your order number (included in the subject line)

  • A brief reason for the return

  • Clear photos showing the item meets the eligibility criteria

Our team will then confirm your item is eligible for return under the Guarantee. If approved:

  • We can arrange return freight on your behalf for convenience

  • Return shipping costs will be communicated to you prior to booking and may either be paid upfront or deducted from your eligible refund

  • You are responsible for securely packaging the item and making it ready for collection

Once the item is received, inspected and approved, refunds are processed to the original payment method within 5 business days.

Your refund amount will be the total of your order amount, less the cost of return shipping (if not paid upfront). Any installation fees are not eligible for refund.

 

Items Excluded from the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee

The following items are not eligible for return under the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee:

  • Items that are used beyond light household use

  • Items not returned in original packaging
  • Items returned more than 100 days after purchase

  • Clearance, custom-made or made-to-order products (including custom upholstery)

  • Items marked as Special Order

  • Items marked as non-returnable or final sale

  • Items returned without prior return approval

These exclusions do not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law if a product is faulty or has a major failure.

 

Damaged on Arrival, Missing or Incorrect Items

Please inspect your order on delivery and contact us as soon as reasonably practicable, and preferably within 48 hours, if an item arrives damaged, missing or incorrect.

For freight deliveries, any visible damage should be noted on the Proof of Delivery where possible.

To help us resolve the issue quickly, please provide photos or videos of the damage and email them to info@cardioonline.com.au.

Where appropriate, we will arrange a suitable remedy and cover reasonable return shipping costs. In many cases, replacement parts may be sent to resolve the issue without requiring a return.

 

Faulty Products and Your ACL Rights

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law always apply.

If a product has a fault or does not meet consumer guarantees, you are entitled to a remedy.

  • For a major failure, you may choose a refund or replacement

  • For a non-major failure, we will repair, replace or refund the product within a reasonable time

We cover reasonable return shipping costs for approved ACL claims.

What Is a Major Failure?

A major failure includes, but is not limited to, situations where the product:

  • Is unsafe

  • Is significantly different from its description or sample

  • Is substantially unfit for its intended purpose and cannot be fixed within a reasonable time

  • Would not have been purchased by a reasonable consumer had they known about the issue

The determination of whether a product has a major fault is made by our supplier's specialist product technicians upon initial assessment of the issue.

Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the ACL, including for items marked as Special Order or non-returnable where a fault or major failure exists.

 

Manufacturer Warranties and Our Role

All products sold by Cardio Online Superstore include a manufacturer warranty provided by the brand or distributor.

Manufacturer warranties are in addition to your ACL rights and do not replace them. You are not required to deal directly with a manufacturer to obtain an ACL remedy.

Cardio Online Superstore will assist by liaising with the supplier on your behalf, arranging assessment, replacement parts or authorised service where required.

 

Assessment and Support Process

To determine the appropriate remedy, we may request photos or video, conduct troubleshooting, or refer the issue to the supplier’s technical team.

Where required, an inspection by an authorised technician or service centre may be arranged. We aim to provide an update within 3–5 business days of receiving the required information.

 

Shipping and Service Logistics

  • We cover reasonable transport costs for approved ACL remedies and warranty claims

  • For bulky items, we may arrange technician visits, collection or parts dispatch as the most efficient solution

  • Change-of-mind returns are handled under the applicable 100 Day Money Back Guarantee or standard return rules
