Refund & Returns Policy
REFUND & RETURNS POLICY
At Lure Home, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. This policy outlines your rights and our procedures for returns, refunds, and exchanges.
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW
Under the Australian Consumer Law, you have guaranteed consumer rights that cannot be excluded.
These include:
Right to a refund or replacement if products are faulty, not as described, or unfit for purpose
Right to compensation for damages and losses resulting from faulty products
Right to have problems fixed in a reasonable time
For Major Failures:
Cancel your contract and receive a refund
Choose between refund or replacement
Compensation for reduced value
For Non-Major Failures:
Reasonable time for repair
Refund if repair cannot be completed in reasonable time
Compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss or damage
Important: This return policy is separate from and in addition to your statutory rights under Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in this policy limits or excludes your consumer guarantee rights. Consumer guarantees apply regardless of any manufacturer's warranty and cannot be excluded by this policy.
