2.4 This website contains material that is owned by or licensed to us. This material includes, but is not limited to, the design, layout, look, appearance, and graphics. Reproduction is prohibited other than under the copyright notice, which forms part of these terms and conditions.
2.5 We make every effort to ensure that product descriptions on our website are accurate. However, some inaccuracies, typographical errors, or misinterpretations may occur. We reserve the right to correct such inaccuracies or typographical errors as they are identified. We make no representations about the suitability of this information.

Pricing
3.1 The price displayed for products on this website represents the total price, including GST, for the product itself but does not include postage/delivery charges, which will depend on the destination.
3.2 We always seek to provide products at the most competitive prices, and because of the dynamic nature of this industry (e.g., vendor price changes and other variables beyond our control), prices, promotions, versions, and availability advertised are subject to change without prior notice. We, therefore, reserve the right to change prices displayed for products on our website at any time.

4.2 Upon receiving your product(s), please make sure you check if all parts and product instructions are included.

Return Policy
6.1 When shopping with us, you have peace of mind knowing that your product is covered by a warranty. All our Goods are covered by an Australian Warranty of up to 365 days. Commercial use is covered for up to 90 days.
6.2 Change of Mind Policy
(a) Dshop will offer a change-of-mind exchange or store credit provided that:
- The merchandise is in a re-saleable condition, with all original packaging and tags attached (ready to be put back on the shelf).
- The item(s) are NOT opened, used, worn, or damaged, and are in the same condition as was dispatched to you when received by Dshop.
- The product is not an Excluded Product.
6.3 Repair, Replacement, and Refund Policy
6.4 Where there is minor damage or problem with the Goods:
- We have a "dead on arrival" (DOA) warranty. This means that in the unlikely event of the Goods being damaged during the delivery process, we will, at our discretion, replace or repair the Goods at our cost. The DOA warranty does not apply to the replacement or repair of damaged packaging that does not form part of the Goods; and
- If the damage is discovered outside the DOA period, please contact Dshop Support Team, who will determine whether circumstances are such that you can still proceed with a claim.
- The DOA warranty does not detract from your statutory rights. In the unlikely event that you receive a product that has been damaged in transit, please endeavour to inform our support team immediately.
6.5 Where there is major damage or problem with the Goods:
- You are entitled to request a replacement or refund for the Goods.
- Where you elect a replacement of the Goods, we will endeavour to provide you with an identical type of Good to the original supplied; however, if an identical replacement is not available, we will instead issue a refund for the amount you paid.
- Where you elect a refund for the Goods, we will refund the amount you paid in the same form as your payment for the Goods.
6.6 In this clause 6.3:
- ‘Minor damage or problem’ means damage or problem with the Goods that are not substantial, do not affect the fundamental use of the Goods, and occur during transit from us to you.
- ‘Major damage or problem’ means a substantial fault in the operations or manufacturing of the Goods, a significant difference in the Goods from its sample or description, unsafe Goods, or other fundamental issues with the Goods that, had you been made aware, you would not have purchased the Goods.
6.7 Clause 6.5 does not apply to:
- Goods you have installed or assembled: i. Incorrectly; or ii. Not in accordance with instructions provided with the Goods.
- Goods damaged as a direct or incidental result of you misusing the Goods.
- Damage, fault, or problem you were made aware of before you purchased the Goods, including whether such damage, fault, or problem is specified in the Goods listing on our website.
- Goods damaged or faulty as a result of you using or dealing with the Goods in a way that is contrary to advice or instructions provided by us.

- There is an absence of damage, default, or problem; or
- The damage, default, or problem is caused by you through incorrect installation, assembly, mishandling, neglect, misuse, excessive use, or use otherwise than in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or specifications.
6.13 Where Goods are determined by us not to have any damage, default, or problem, or determined to have been caused by you after receipt of the Goods, we reserve the right to require payment for any transportation and inspection costs, an estimate of which will be provided to you before the return of the Goods.
6.14 Where a warranty claim or a claim under a statutory guarantee is granted, any refund will include all delivery and related costs for the Goods. Where a non-warranty claim or non-statutory guarantee is granted, any refund will be for the cost of the Goods only and will exclude all related fees. No refund or replacement will be given until we have received the Goods from you.
6.15 Where a replacement is agreed to after a warranty claim is granted, the replacement will be delivered to you at our expense after we have received your returned Goods. Where a non-warranty claim is granted, the replacement will be provided to you at your cost.
