Australian Consumer Law (ACL) & Consumer Guarantees
Australian Consumer Law (ACL) & Consumer Guarantees
At TechUp Australia Pty Ltd, we are committed to complying with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and ensuring our customers receive fair, transparent, and reliable support when shopping with us.
The ACL provides consumers with important rights and protections when purchasing goods and services in Australia. These rights apply in addition to any manufacturer or store warranty provided with your purchase.
Your Rights Under Australian Consumer Law
Under the ACL, our products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian consumer law.
Customers are entitled to:
-
A replacement or refund for a major failure
-
Compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage
-
Have products repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure
Refurbished & Pre-Owned Devices
TechUp specialises in professionally tested refurbished and pre-owned technology.
As these are pre-owned devices:
-
Minor cosmetic wear may be present depending on the selected condition grade
-
Battery performance may vary within the advertised grading standards
-
Certain manufacturer warranty programs may no longer apply
-
Devices may contain genuine or high-quality compatible replacement parts where applicable
All devices are thoroughly inspected, tested, and verified for functionality prior to dispatch.
Change of Mind Returns
We offer a 30-day change of mind return policy for eligible purchases.
To qualify:
-
The item must be returned in the same condition received
-
All accessories and included items must be returned
-
The device must not be passcode locked or linked to personal accounts

Return shipping for change of mind returns may be the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed

Original shipping costs may be non-refundable

Repair, Replacement & Refund Process

Replace the item with an equivalent device
-
Provide a refund where repair or replacement is not possible or appropriate under ACL
For non-major failures, we reserve the right to assess and repair the product within a reasonable timeframe before offering a refund.
Return & Assessment Process
To assist with warranty claims:
-
Customers may be asked to provide photos, videos, or fault descriptions
-
Devices may need to be returned for assessment
-
Return labels may be provided depending on the situation
