SOUTHCOASTMUSIC – CHANGE OF MIND
We regret having to include this however, with the ever increasing cost of shipping and razor thin margins, we ask that you carefully consider your purchase before buying online. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are on hand to assist and advise you with your purchase.
In accordance with Australian Consumer Law, we do not refund for change of mind or where an incorrect purchase has been made. Australian Consumer Law states that “You can ask a business for your preference of a free repair, replacement or refund, but you are not always entitled to one. For example, the consumer guarantees do not apply if you got what you asked for but simply changed your mind, found it cheaper somewhere else, decided you did not like the purchase or had no use for it.”
If a return is agreed upon, the original P+H cost to you and return freight cost to us are your responsibility. Returned items will remain your responsibility during transit. South Coast Music will not accept liability for damage which may occur during transit. A restocking fee of $25 or 20% of the purchase price (whichever is higher) may also apply.
