• 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.

• 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

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.
