MILKSHAKE LIQUIDS - BREEZY SHAKE

Warranty Returns & Replacements

All products we sell, excluding some categories of products as listed below, come with a statutory three month warranty

Under the terms of the Australian Consumer Law (“ACL”), you are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

The guarantees under the ACL are provided in sections 51 to 59 inclusive of the ACL (“Statutory Guarantees”) and the remedies are provided in sections 259 to 266 inclusive of the ACL (“Statutory Remedies”).

Warranties are not transferable and are voided upon resale of any product.

Excluded Items

• E-liquids and Concentrates: As our e-liquids and concentrates contain food grade ingredients and are considered a consumable product, we do not allow returns or exchanges other than in the case of a manufacturing defect, as required by the ACL. While we strive to produce the tastiest eliquids on the planet, we can’t guarantee that you’ll love every drop – taste is subjective, everybody is different, and we cannot offer a replacement or refund for any eliquid or concentrate on the basis of your personal preferences alone.
• Coils, Cotton, Wick, and Wire: As these items are considered consumable and will degrade with use over time, the warranty period for these items does not apply once the items have been removed from their original packaging and put to use. We do not offer a warranty for any coils, cotton, wick, or wire that have not been used in accordance with the manufacturer’s or our instructions, have not been sufficiently primed, or have been used at incorrect or unsafe wattage’s. In some limited circumstances, at our sole discretion, we may accept the return and exchange of coils you purchase that are unsuitable for the device you intend to use them in, on the condition that the items are in their original, unopened packaging and have not been used. You will be responsible for the cost of shipping to return the item to us, and for the cost of shipping the replacement item to you.
• Batteries: As all rechargeable batteries are consumable products that degrade with use over time, we offer a fourteen day warranty period on all batteries to ensure that the cells you receive are in good working order when you receive them. It is your responsibility to immediately test any battery you purchase upon receipt to ensure that it is discharging normally and capable of being recharged.
• USB Charging: We specifically caution against using the built-in USB charging facility on mods which use replaceable lithium ion cells, If you choose to ignore this warning, please note that we do not offer a warranty or repair process for faults caused by the use of built-in USB charging.

The product must be used in accordance with manufacturer’s or our instructions. This warranty does not apply should the defect in or failure of the product be attributable to misuse, abuse, accident, act of God such as lightning, or nonobservance of manufacturer’s or our instructions on the part of the user. This warranty does not cover ordinary wear and tear in the product or its parts.

Vape Central does not accept liability for

The product is designed for domestic use only. If applicable, the product must be connected to the electrical voltage supply as specified in the ratings label located on the product. This warranty does not cover defects arising from non-domestic use or incorrect voltage supply.

This warranty may only be claimed against where proof of original purchase is presented, for example, original paper or email receipt, or invoice.

Any parts of the product that need to be replaced, or if the whole product needs to be replaced, the replaced product, become the property of Vape Central. The warranty on any replacement product or parts will expire on the same date that the warranty period on the original product expires.

The benefits provided by this warranty are in addition to all other rights and remedies in respect of the product which the purchaser has under the Trade Practices Act 1974 and/or any other applicable State and Territory Laws, and applicable laws in New Zealand, which rights and remedies by law may not be excluded. All other warranties and representations, express and implied, are hereby excluded.

The purchaser bears the onus of proving that the defect occurred during the warranty period, and was not caused by any of the causes excluded from this warranty.

This warranty does not cover products purchased second hand.

The purchaser is responsible for all postage and freight charges and any other expenses incidental to claiming against this warranty.

The warranty excludes consumable items (including but not limited to batteries, coils, liquids, wire, cotton) and normal wear and tear.

Warranty Remedies

When you return a product to us for any warranty purpose, Vape Central or the manufacturer will determine, at our sole discretion, whether the product is faulty and the cause of the fault within a reasonable time frame.

In the case of a manufacturing defect or other fault not caused by you or your actions, we may offer you a store credit, refund, repair, or replacement in accordance with our obligations under the ACL.

In most cases, at our sole discretion, where appropriate and in accordance with our obligations under the ACL, we will offer a replacement for any item that qualifies under the terms of this warranty. In lieu of a replacement, we may choose, at our sole discretion, to offer you a refund or store credit.

Due to payment processor limitations, only store credit is available for warranty claims made beyond the three month statutory warranty period.

Statutory Rights

While individual circumstances may vary and the law is uncertain, the policies set out in this document are intended to provide you with remedies that Vape Central believes to be consistent with your statutory rights under the ACL in the event of breach of a Consumer Guarantee relating to faulty products.

Our policies are in addition to, and do not limit your rights with respect to, the Consumer Guarantees or any other rights and remedies that you have under the law in relation to the goods sold by Vape Central.

If you are not satisfied with a remedy under the Vape Central Minimum Voluntary Warranty Policy you can discuss your concerns with a Vape Central Store Manager who is authorised to provide an alternative remedy where appropriate.

If the store manager believes that the Vape Central remedy is adequate but you are not still satisfied that your ACL rights are being appropriately observed then you can submit your concerns in writing to our ACL Warranty Claims Officer by completing our contact form for further consideration by Vape Central.

Returned and Reshipped Mail

In certain circumstances we may pass that fee on to you, along with the cost of reshipping your parcel, and you may be required to make payment prior to your parcel being reshipped.

These circumstances include, but are not limited to, the following:

• If Australia Post cannot deliver your parcel to the address you specified during checkout (e.g, if you neglect to enter your street number or street name)
• If you have not collected your parcel from your local post office and it is returned to us after a period of time according to Australia Post’s abandoned parcels process
• If you or someone in your household rejects delivery of a parcel

In general terms, if your parcel is returned due to your action or inaction, the returned parcel and reshipping fees may apply.

If we determine that your parcel is returned through no fault of your own, for instance if the shipping label becomes damaged during transit or Australia Post misdirects the delivery, then we will reship the parcel to you at our expense.

If your merchandise is damaged or incorrect upon arrival, please contact us within 24 hours of receiving your order. Vape Central will immediately replace damaged or missing goods

We will accept returns under the following circumstances;

• You have received authorisation from us to return the stock
• The product is in its original condition; if packaged all packages must be intact
• You return the products by Courier or Australia Post at your own expense and provide us with a tracking number
