Terms and Conditions

All goods sold in Australia come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (Competition and Consumer Act 2010). Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall be read or applied so as to exclude, restrict or modify or have the effect of excluding, restricting or modifying any condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy implied by law (including the Australian Consumer Law) which cannot by law be excluded, restricted or modified.

Compatibility

Cables & Adapters does not guarantee compatibility between all components and software sold. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to ensure that products are compatible prior to ordering. To reduce the chance of incompatibility we recommend customers conduct their own research prior to purchase.

Placing Orders

Any order placed by you in the manner described in this site is an offer by you to purchase a particular product or service for the price (including the delivery and other charges) specified on this site at the time you place your order. You acknowledge that, by placing your order, you are agreeing to pay for and accept delivery of the goods ordered unless you ask us to cancel that order, and we send you written confirmation of the cancellation prior to the goods being dispatched to you.
Cables & Adapters may change the prices for Goods or Services published on our website at any time without giving notice to you. Prices of products placed in the "cart" but not paid for are also subject to change and you agree to pay the price current at the time of payment.
In addition to the price for the Goods, you will also need to pay the advertised delivery charge (if any). Any Delivery Charge will appear in your shopping cart.
By placing an Order you agree to pay the price for the Goods and/or Services, any Delivery Charge and any Additional Delivery Charges which may apply.
Additional Delivery Charges are charges which are not shown in your shopping cart but which we incur. Such charges may apply even where the item is shown on the Website as having “free delivery”, “free freight” or something similar.
If you live in an area to which an Additional Delivery Charge will apply Cables & Adapters will contact you before accepting your Order and provide you with a quote for the Additional Delivery Charge. If, within the time specified, you do not agree to accept the Additional Delivery Charge, Cables & Adapters will cancel your Order. Cables & Adapters will not accept payment for your Order until you have confirmed your acceptance of the Additional Delivery Charge.
Where you place separate Orders the Goods will be delivered separately and a separate Delivery will apply to each Order. Cables & Adapters cannot consolidate separate Orders into one delivery.
Please check your Order carefully (including the quantities ordered) before submitting it as Orders may not be able to be changed or cancelled once the Order has been accepted by Cables & Adapters.
While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of prices, images and information displayed on this site, Cables & Adapters is not responsible for any error and reserves the right to accept or reject your offer for any reason, including without limitation, the unavailability of any product, an error in the price, image or the product description posted on our website content, or an error in your order.
We may require additional verification or information before accepting any order. You agree to provide us with current, complete and accurate details when asked to do so by Cables & Adapters. We only accept orders from within mainland Australia and Tasmania.

Warranty and DOA (Dead on Arrival Claims)

All products sold are sold with a return to base warranty. Products which are the subject of any warranty or returns claim must be returned to Cables & Adapters before any such claim may proceed. To the full extent permitted under Australian law, the cost of returning the product will be borne by the customer.
Before you return the Product to us, we strongly recommend that you consider contacting the manufacturer directly. Not only is the manufacturer best suited to assess and help you with your problem because they made your product and know how your product operates, but they are in many circumstances obligated to help you. We are of course available to help you as well and you may contact us via email call us on 03 8542 8688, via e-mail [email protected] or bring your Product to our store. However, it is our experience that when customers experience any problem operating their product, it can often be resolved quicker if the manufacturer is involved directly at the early stage. In many cases, the issue may be resolved with some basic “troubleshooting” by the manufacturer, so the manufacturer is always a good first point of contact.

A large percentage of warranty returns are tested to be without fault. Please note if a product returned to Cables & Adapters for warranty is deemed to be NOT FAULTY, Cables & Adapters reserves to right to charge a service fee of $25 for each product returned. Shipping charges to return the product to the customer will be applied. In addition any fees charged by a relevant authorised service centre may also be charged.
The whole warranty process usually takes 4 - 6 weeks. However, under some circumstances, it can take 8 - 10 weeks.
In order to obtain any remedy from us, you must provide us with clear proof of purchase. The proof of purchase may either be a:
1. receipt we issued or
2. bank statement or credit card statement where the amount shown on the statement directly corresponds with the purchase price of the product (where multiple products were purchased in one transaction, this would limit our ability to establish proof of purchase).
3. If we cannot be satisfied that you purchased the product from us then we may elect whether or not to accept your product for return. For fraud prevention purposes, if you do not have a receipt, and we elect to give you a return we will need to record your personal details.
Please ensure that all products shipped to Cables & Adapters are adequately packed. Cables & Adapters take no responsibility for products that arrived damaged which have been damaged in transit. All such damaged products will be rejected immediately and costs for return shipping will be charged.
Once proof of purchase has been established, we will need to consult with the manufacturer or repair agent to determine the fault and resolution. When we send your product to the manufacturer or their repair agent, we will ask them to assess the product and provide their assessment within a reasonable timeframe. Once the product is with the manufacturer or their repair agent, they will determine whether:
1. there is no fault found;
2. there is a non-major fault which can be easily repaired within a reasonable timeframe;
3. there is a major fault found and you are to be offered a replacement or a refund; or
4. the product has been damaged or abused through misuse, abnormal use or negligent use.
Where the manufacturer's assessment finds that there is no fault with the product, or that the product been damaged due to misuse, abnormal use or negligent use, we may require you to, in which case you must, pay us for any fee incurred by us in connection with the assessment of your product, and the transportation of your product to and from the manufacturer.
Repair Notice: The repair of your goods may result in the loss of any user-generated data. Please ensure that you have made a copy of any data saved on your goods. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
1. Where there is no fault found, the product will be returned to the store to be returned to you.
2. Cables & Adapters cannot offer a refund or exchange where there is no fault with the product, or the product has been damaged due to misuse, abnormal use or negligent use, whether that has been identified by Cables & Adapters, the manufacturer or the repair agent. However in such case, we may offer you repair of your product at your cost.
If you need to return a product that is capable of retaining user generated data such as flash drives, internal or portable hard disk drives, please note that assessment and/or repair of the product may result in the loss of data. Cables & Adapters strongly recommends you save any data as a backup, external to the device where possible.
Cables & Adapters offers a 7 day Dead on Arrival replacement guarantee. Where a product purchased is found to be faulty within 7 days of receiving the product (by courier for delivery orders) or date of pickup/invoice Cables & Adapters will provide a new replacement subject to stock availability.
1. A DOA claim must be made within 7 days of receiving the product.
2. Products claimed under this process must be returned to us within 7 days of claiming the DOA.
3. Approval is subject to testing once the product is returned to us. Once approved, customers can choose to obtain a replacement, store credit or exchange to a different product. This voluntary guarantee does not apply to some items. If you are unsure if products you intend to purchase/have purchased are covered by this guarantee, please inquire via e-mail.
Cables & Adapters does not directly handle warranty returns for products where a local or direct manufacturer to customer warranty service is available. These products include notebook, laptops, all-in-one PC, branded PC, printers, scanners, networking products, monitors and other retail products. Please check the manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions for the specific details.
Any product sold by Cables & Adapters is meant to be professionally installed; improper installation and resulting damage is NOT covered under warranty.
To return a faulty product purchased online, please login to your account and click on the relevant order number and then click the "Request RMA" button to lodge a claim. You will then be issued with a Return Authorization (RA) number. Please clearly print your RA number on the outside of the package when returning it to us. Include with the product a copy or scan or your proof of purchase. Failure to display the RA number (unless otherwise instructed) or proof of purchase will mean that your return will NOT be accepted until all documentation is provided.
