Returns
Applicable consumer laws in New Zealand including the Fair Trading Act 1986 and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Check out: https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/general-help/ways-to-buy-and-pay/online-shopping/.
- Will change of mind refunds be given?
- Do you allow exchanges where customers change their minds?
- What written warranty will you provide (i.e. in addition to Consumer Guarantees Act guarantees)? It is important that you make sure that you do not mislead people about inalienable rights, including Consumer Guarantees Act rights for many consumers. You should not say "no refunds" because in some circumstances the law will require you to give a refund. The NZ Ministry of Consumer Affairs suggests the following wording about change of mind refunds:
"We do not have to provide a refund if you have changed your mind about a particular purchase, so please choose carefully. If the goods are faulty, we will meet our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act to provide a remedy."
