If your sunnies break within 12 months of purchase, we'll replace them. Here's exactly what that covers.
If approved, we'll send a replacement in the same style and colour where available, or one of equal value if it's been discontinued. You'll cover shipping on the replacement.
This guarantee covers replacement only, not a cash refund - if you'd rather a refund, that falls under our standard returns policy above. Each pair gets one replacement under this guarantee, and a replacement pair is covered for the remainder of the original 12 months, not a fresh 12-month term.
This guarantee sits on top of, and doesn't limit, any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Under the ACL, our products come with guarantees that can't be excluded — including that goods are of acceptable quality, match their description, and are fit for purpose. Major failures may entitle you to a replacement or refund; minor failures may be repaired or replaced. Nothing here affects those statutory rights.
This 12-month guarantee applies to Shade Eyewear sunglasses only - not the Safety range or prescription range, which are covered for manufacturing defects and faults only.
