Statutory Conditions and Warranties
Statutory conditions and warranties apply. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes the application of those statutory conditions and warranties.
For more information about your rights as a consumer, see the ACCC website at www.accc.gov.au or download a free copy of the Warranties and Refunds Guide at www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/322947.
Dead On Arrival Products - "DOA"
A Product is considered DOA if it shows symptoms of a failure, or is discovered to be broken or defective when first taken from its packaging.
Our Customer Service Representative will provisionally determine whether the Product is DOA. A photo may be requested to assist with the assessment of your claim. Where a Product is provisionally determined as DOA we will arrange to provide a full refund or a replacement product, depending on your choice.
Where we have provisionally determined that a Product is DOA, return shipping will be arranged at the expense of Hospitality Depot.
If the Product is deemed by Customer Service NOT to be DOA, and is not covered by a warranty, Hospitality Depot may refuse to replace the Product or give you a refund for the Product.
When a Product is replaced, your replacement Product becomes your property and the returned DOA Product becomes our property. Replacement Products are provided with the same warranty as the returned Product. When a refund is given, the returned DOA Product becomes our property.
Dead Soon After Arrival Products - "DSAA"
If you find a defect in a Product within a reasonable time after delivery and before you have used it a lot (30 days as a rule of thumb) you should notify Hospitality Depot and your claim will be treated in the same way as a DOA product (see "Dead On Arrival Products"). A photo may be requested to assist with the assessment of your claim.
Later Defect Products - "LD"
If the Product is not DOA or DSAA and you find that the Product has a defect or a problem within a reasonable time during which it should not have that defect or problem, it is a LD Product. Hospitality Depot will exchange the LD Product where possible, or refund you the purchase price of the Product.
A reasonable time is the amount of time that is reasonable to expect, given the cost and quality of the item and the amount and type of usage. Only rarely will that period exceed one year and usually it will be much shorter.
We encourage the notification of claims within 90 days by offering to pay for the return of a Product where a claim is notified within that time and we provisionally determine that the Product is LD. Other cases will be considered on their merits.
Where claims are made more than 90 days after delivery, we will need full details about the way the LD Product has been used and it may be necessary for us to make further inquiries.
Where Hospitality Depot has provisionally determined that a Product is LD, return shipping will be arranged at the expense of Hospitality Depot if the claim has been notified to us within 90 days of delivery. Other cases will be considered on their merits.
Return Authorisation Number - A Must Have
A Return Authorisation (RA) number is required for replacement Products and refunds.
Where Customer Service has provisionally determined that a Product is DOA, DSAA or LD, Customer Service will issue you with an RA.
Products cannot be returned without an RA. The Product should be returned to Hospitality Depot within 30 calendar days of the issuance of the RA. Where possible, all Products must be packed in the original, unmarked packaging including any accessories, manuals, documentation and registration that shipped with the Product. If the accessories are not included, only a partial refund will be applied.
Organising the Return of DOA Products
DOA, DSAA and LD Products must be returned whenever we agree to provide you with a refund or replace the Product.
Where you received a DOA, DSAA or LD Product by Australia Post eParcel, Customer Service will email you a PDF voucher containing an RA which you must affix to the product. Hospitality Depot will pay for returned DOA or DSAA items automatically if you notify us of your claim within 30 days of delivery. For LD items the relevant period is within 90 days of delivery (other cases will be considered on their merits). You must then leave the Product at any Australia Post Office.
Where you have received a DOA, DSAA or LD Product by our courier service, we will make arrangements with our courier service for collection of the Product, and will notify you when they will collect the Product from you. Customer Service will email you a PDF voucher containing an RA which you must affix to the product.
When a Replacement Product is arranged:
- A replacement for the same Product that you ordered will be shipped to you at our expense after we have received your returned DOA, DSAA or LD Product.
- The delivery time for the replacement Product will be the same as stated for the original DOA, DSAA or LD Product.
- Replacement Products are provided with the same warranty as the DOA, DSAA or LD Product from the date the Replacement Product is dispatched.
Some Products - Manufacturer Warranty
Some Products sold by us are serviced and supported by the manufacturer or supplier in accordance with the warranty information provided on the listing. Hospitality Depot recognises customers purchasing some products, require a high level of support therefore we would ask you to contact the manufacturer or supplier for trouble-shooting assistance. If the manufacturer or supplier is unable to assist, and the product is covered by a statutory warranty, Hospitality Depot will replace the item, issue a refund or otherwise provide a remedy.
Our Liability
We will not be liable for any loss of income, loss of profits, loss of contracts, loss of data or for any indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind howsoever arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise.
Our maximum aggregate liability for any Product supplied to you whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise shall in no circumstances exceed the amount payable by you to us in respect of the Product(s) in question.
Your Data - Use and Protection
By placing your Order, you agree that we may store, process and use data collected from your Order Form for the purposes of processing your Order. Please refer to our Privacy Statement.
Credit Card Fraud
Hospitality Depot will not be responsible for any damages, consequential losses (whether direct or indirect) suffered by a customer whose credit card is fraudulently used or is used in an unauthorised manner.
Fraud Protection or Prevention Procedures
When you place your Order by either a Credit Card or PayPal you may be sent an email from our Fraud Prevention Officer requesting further information, such as a copy of your credit card and drivers license for identification. After verification this information will be destroyed. In this case, until your order has passed internal Fraud Prevention procedure checks your order will remain on Pending status. If you do not provide the requested information within 7 days, your order will be cancelled and your payment will be refunded back to the method in which you paid. These information requests are sent to help protect Credit Card and PayPal account holders from online Fraud.
