NO REFERRAL NECESSARY
RETURN POLICY (at 1 January 2018)
DEFINITIONS:
Sydney Psoriasis Skin Clinics ABN 26 108 461 749 is defined as the seller of the products and will be known herein as the “company” , “seller” or “us”, “our”, ”ours” etc.
The “Purchaser” is you and extends to include your proxy and any person or organisation that you enlist, on your behalf, to pursue and obtain a refund on the products which are the subject of the return.
Additionally, they act with your implied and absolute authority as your agent regardless of whether or not any written document has been issued, offered or is reasonably believed to be in evidence. You and/or your agent will be known herein as the “purchaser” or “you”, “yours” etc.
You or your agent may be required to produce adequate proof of identity at the time of refund.
The “Return Date” is deemed to be the date that the products return to our possession, provided that the returned products fulfill all other requirements of this policy.
Our returns policy is in addition to your statutory ‘consumer guarantee’ rights under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act and similar laws, which it should be noted, only extends to returns of goods which are Not fit for purpose, Not according to description or sample or Not of merchantable quality (i.e. has faults or defects).
The Act does not stipulate on Change of Mind purchases and so there is no absolute requirement for any retailer to refund if the customer changes their mind at any time after purchase. Therefore you do not have any right at law to obtain any refund on change of mind purchases.
However, our company return policy addresses this issue further in this document. Please read the following carefully to ensure that you are fully aware of your rights under this policy and what are our obligations to you.
As this Return Policy is clearly published on our company website, it is your responsibility to be aware of its contents and therefore to be aware of your obligations and our obligations to you.
