All sales are final unless items are found to be damaged or defective.
The buyer is responsible for the compatibility of the product.
We offer a 30-day 'Change of Mind' or 'Incorrect Purchase' return option on products that are unused, unopened and the tamper seal, if present, is not broken; otherwise, we reserve the right to reject these return requests as abided by Australian Consumer Law. A 15% restocking fee with a min charge of $10 and a max of $80 + a Handling fee at our discretion may apply if we elect to approve a Change of Mind/Incorrect Purchase return that meets the above criteria.
Warranty
To make a warranty claim against any product with manufacturing defects, you must first contact us to request a Return Authorisation (RA) form. Once approved, you must send the defective product with all original contents, accompanied by proof of purchase and the RA form to the provided address. Products returned without an RA number will be rejected.
We cover the shipping cost for all valid warranty returns where a product has been assessed and confirmed as being faulty. You must ensure that the items are carefully packed in suitable packaging for safe transport to prevent damage during transportation. Insufficient packaging will result in the warranty being voided should any damage occur in transit.
You will not incur any parts or labour costs associated with the repair. If the defective item cannot be repaired and a replacement is not available, a full refund will be issued to the account from where the payment was received. International customer refunds are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates, which we cannot govern nor compensate for.
We provide a 14-day Dead on Arrival (DOA) policy for defective products. Within this period, you can request either a replacement or a full refund once the product is returned and we have confirmed the fault. If the issue is reported outside the 14-day DOA window, our standard manufacturer warranty process applies, and we will assess the faulty product for repair, replacement, or refund at our discretion. Items intended as gifts or otherwise should be inspected for physical damage, as such claims beyond the DOA period will be rejected.
This warranty does not cover:
- Damage to products or parts caused by accident, misuse, neglect, abuse, improper installation, use, operation or failure to follow instructions contained in the manual for the operation and use of the product, water, fire, electricity surges, spikes or overloads, vermin or other animals.
- Damage to products or parts caused by improper installation not in accordance with the installation instructions provided with the product or part.
- Damage to products or parts resulting from repair or attempted repair by a person who is not an authorised repairer of Elite Electronics or the manufacturer of the products or parts.
- Any products or parts where the serial number has been removed, modified or defaced.
- Speakers and subwoofers with blown, burnt or blackened voice coils, or other damage resulting from electrical surges, spikes or overloads.
- Products or parts tested by Elite Electronics that are found to be not faulty or the described fault cannot be reproduced. In this case, Elite Electronics reserves the right to charge an assessment fee as well as a return shipping fee before the product or part can be returned to you.
- The replacement of parts necessary due to normal wear and tear.
- The costs of removal and return of the products or parts to Elite Electronics or an authorised repairer/service centre, including packaging and freight costs and the costs of re-installation of the product on return.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. 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 goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
