Refund policy
Refunds, Returns, Cancellations & Product Availability Policy
At MedLab Refrigeration Systems (MLRS), our goal is to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase. We are committed to providing quality products, transparent pricing and fair customer service.
Damaged Goods
Orders received damaged should be reported to MLRS within 48 hours of delivery, wherever possible, to allow for prompt assessment and resolution.
Customers are encouraged to provide photographs of any damage, along with their order details, to assist with the assessment process.
Failure to report damage within 48 hours does not affect any rights available under Australian Consumer Law.
Faults and Defects
Any faults or defects should be reported to MLRS within 14 days of receipt, wherever possible.
Valid claims will be assessed in accordance with applicable consumer guarantees and manufacturer warranties.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable legal requirements, remedies may include a repair, replacement of goods or refund.
Where a replacement is appropriate but unavailable, a refund or other applicable remedy may be provided.
Faults or defects identified after 14 days may be referred to the manufacturer for warranty assessment. Customers may also contact MLRS directly for assistance with their rights under Australian Consumer Law.
The manufacturer's warranty is additional to, and does not replace, any applicable statutory consumer guarantees.
Return Freight
Freight costs for discretionary returns to MLRS are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed.
Where goods are faulty, damaged, incorrectly supplied or otherwise fail to meet applicable consumer guarantees, reasonable return freight costs and collection arrangements will be handled in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.
Order Cancellations and Change of Mind
All sales are considered final unless otherwise required by Australian Consumer Law or expressly approved by MLRS.
MLRS does not generally offer refunds or accept cancellations for change of mind, incorrect purchases or goods that are no longer required.
However, cancellation requests received before goods have been dispatched may be considered at the discretion of MLRS.
Where a discretionary cancellation is approved, any nonrefundable payment processing fees incurred by MLRS, including Shopify Payments, credit card or other payment provider transaction fees, may be deducted from the refund amount, provided the deduction is disclosed, agreed to by the customer and permitted by applicable law.
Payment processing fees are generally not reimbursed to MLRS by Shopify Payments when an order is refunded, including orders cancelled before dispatch.
Customers can review Shopify's official information regarding payment processing fees and refunds here:
https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/shopify-payments/payouts/refunds
Any proposed processing fee deduction will be clearly communicated to the customer before a discretionary cancellation is finalised.
Where a refund is required under Australian Consumer Law, payment processing fees will not be deducted from the customer's statutory refund entitlement.
Once goods have been dispatched, change of mind cancellations and returns are generally not accepted unless otherwise agreed by MLRS.
Product Availability and Pricing
While we make every effort to ensure all products, specifications and pricing listed on our website are current and accurate, occasional discrepancies may occur due to manufacturer updates, discontinued models, stock availability or promotional pricing changes.
If a product is unavailable, discontinued or incorrectly priced at the time of order confirmation, we will contact you promptly to discuss the next steps.
In these cases, you will have the option to:
-
Receive a full and prompt refund.
-
Upgrade to an alternative model, with any price difference clearly explained.
-
Proceed with a comparable product at an adjusted price where applicable.
Where an order cannot be fulfilled as agreed, customers will be entitled to any remedies required by Australian Consumer Law.
Our priority is transparency and ensuring you receive the correct product for your needs. We will always aim to honour advertised pricing where reasonably possible or provide a fair alternative solution.
Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies available under Australian Consumer Law.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law, where those guarantees apply.
Customers may be entitled to a repair, replacement, refund or other remedy where goods fail to meet applicable consumer guarantees.
For major failures, customers may be entitled to reject the goods and choose a refund or replacement, subject to applicable legal requirements. For failures that are not major, MLRS may be entitled to provide a remedy within a reasonable time.
These statutory rights apply independently of any manufacturer warranty or reporting periods outlined in this policy.
