Order Policy
These terms of service and the conditions herein pertain only to orders made via www.cablechick.com.au, via our phone service, or in-store. Any orders made outside of these channels will not be recognised by Cable Chick and claims against them will not be acknowledged. Please be wary of phishing scams and 'copy-cat' retailers who may masquerade as Cable Chick, a subsidiary of Cable Chick, or represent themselves in such a manner as to confuse themselves with our branding, website or trading entity.
Cable Chick is not present on eBay, nor do we sell goods through their services or website.
Discretion of Rejection
The buyer's receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify acceptance of an order, nor does it constitute confirmation of an offer to sell. Cable Chick reserves the right at any time after receipt of an order to decline that order for any reason. We may require additional verification or information before accepting any order. If verification of identity is not adequately provided, the order will be cancelled under suspect of fraud.
A legally binding contract is formed between Cable Chick and the buyer only once the goods have been dispatched. Prior to dispatch, all goods remain the property of Cable Chick.
Availability & Order Fulfillment
Cable Chick reserves the right, at any time after receipt of an order and without prior notice to the buyer, to supply less than the quantity ordered of any item in the event of unforeseen short supply. In the event of a short-supply, you will be contacted and any relevant funds will be reimbursed in accordance with any balance in credit left after part-fulfillment or cancellation.
Delivery
Once an order is received, paid in full, accepted by Cable Chick and processed for fulfillment, we will endeavour to dispatch that order within one business day or according to our same-business-day policy where applicable. If we are unable to dispatch an order due to unforeseen circumstances or limitations of service from third-party vendors, and the estimated time of delivery will be affected by a delay in dispatch, we will contact the buyer and advise the buyer of the expected dispatch time.
Cable Chick reserves the right to ship goods by the most economical means available in accordance with the shipping method paid for by the buyer. This may include alternate carrier services or multiple installments. If an order is shipped in separate consignments or multiple installments and a part of that order fails to be delivered, the buyer is not entitled to a cancellation of their purchasing contract. Lost or misdirected partial shipments will be replaced only after suitable time is given for Cable Chick to complete an investigation with the carrier service.
Cable Chick offers a service whereby the buyer can specify delivery instructions which may absolve the carrier service of all or part of their responsibility to secure delivery confirmation. Cable Chick will not be liable for any order, or delivery of order, that is delivered in accordance with the buyer's delivery instructions. Circumvention of signature on delivery requirements will void any and all insurance cover.
Force Majeure
Cable Chick shall not be liable for any loss or damage, directly or indirectly arising out of or in connection with any delay in delivery of the goods, or failure to perform any term of this contract where such delay or failure is outside the seller's reasonable control. Delays in delivery may occur at any time for reasons outside of our control or our carrier service's control (for example, Acts of God), and the buyer may not hold Cable Chick liable for any losses relating to such a delay.
Warranties and Returns
All warranties are on Return To Base condition, requiring goods under warranty to be sent back to Cable Chick for repair, replacement or refund. Cable Chick is not liable for the postage, freight or shipping costs involved with returning goods under warranty.
Warranty coverage periods are specified on a per-product basis. Consult the individual product pages for information on applicable warranty periods. All passive* cables and adapters are covered by a 5-Year warranty provided for by Cable Chick under the terms of replacement, repair or refund as outlined in the Warranty and Returns policy page. All other items carry a minimum of 12 months manufacturer's warranty, or other warranties as specified on their respective product pages.
If the manufacturer's warranty of a product exceeds the warranty expressly offered by Cable Chick (for example, the Amped brand of cables), the buyer must direct all warranty claims to the manufacturer directly once the Cable Chick warranty period has elapsed.
* Passive cables and adapters are considered to be any basic cable which does not contain chipsets, printed circuits or other electronics, especially those powered from external sources. See individual product descriptions for information on applicable warranty periods.
Free Gift Promotion Terms and Conditions
Cable Chick regularly runs promotions and/or 'giveaways' where a catalogue product or non-catalogue special item may be included free with a purchase. These promotions generally fall into two categories: One where there is a minimum-spend to qualify to receive a free gift, and events where a gift is included with an order without appearing on the invoice.
For all occasions where a product is included with an order without appearing on the invoice, that item is not subject to any warranty or return requirements on behalf of the customer or Cable Chick.
For all occasions where a product is included with an order and appears on the invoice (even with a $0.00 value) AND the promotion conditions required a minimum-spend to qualify for the free gift, the free product may be requested back as a part of a return claim. In the event that all or part of an order containing a free gift item is to be returned to Cable Chick for refund, exchange or store credit, the free gift must be included at the request of a Cable Chick customer service representative in order for the return to meet the requirements for the claim to be conducted to the full extent possible.
Customers may not keep free gifts when a return, exchange or other related warranty claim will reduce the total order value of the invoice in question below the minimum-spend payment threshold which qualified the order to receive the gift initially. If a customer cannot provide the free gift as a part of the returns process when requested, full cash refunds will not be made available and other limitations may be placed when conducting the claim.
Tax
Cable Chick is required by law to collect 10% goods and service tax (GST) on behalf of the Australian Taxation Office. All of the prices listed online for goods and services (including shipping) are inclusive of GST.
