Consumers
Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (‘CGA’), you have guaranteed legal rights for goods [and services] you buy.
These are called ‘consumer guarantees’, and include the following:
- A guarantee that the goods are of acceptable quality, such that the goods are:
- fit for any particular purpose made known by you, or for which we represent that they are or will be fit;
- a guarantee that the goods correspond with any description with which the goods are supplied; and
- a guarantee that the goods correspond with any sample or demonstration style where the goods are supplied by reference to such sample or style.
If the goods we supply do not meet a consumer guarantee, we will meet our obligations under the CGA to provide a remedy.
The CGA does not apply where the goods have been used in a manner, or to an extent which is inconsistent with the manner or extent of use that a reasonable consumer would expect to obtain from the goods; and the goods would have complied with the guarantee of acceptable quality if they had not been used in the manner or to that extent.
Minor Failure
Please notify us within 60 days of purchase if the goods we supply do not comply with a consumer guarantee, but can be remedied within a reasonable time, we will either repair the goods or replace the goods with goods of identical type.
Major Failure
A ‘major failure’ is where the failure in the goods cannot be repaired or cannot be repaired within a reasonable time, or where the failure constitutes a ‘failure of substantial character’ as set out by section 21 of the CGA.
If a failure amounts to a major failure, you are entitled to return the goods within 60 days of purchase and choose to have a replacement of the returned goods or a refund. Alternatively, you may elect to retain the goods and obtain compensation for the reduction in value of the goods.
Where you choose a replacement, we will where available, provide goods of the same type and similar value to the returned goods.
Delivery Charges for goods found to be faulty
Any shipping costs to return the original goods to Athlete-X will be at the cost of Athlete-X, where Athlete-X considers the goods to have breached a consumer guarantee. If on examination of goods returned to Athlete-X, the goods are found to not be in breach of any consumer guarantee, Athlete-X may charge you a fee for examining the goods, and any cost to return the goods to you.
Please note that goods must be returned within the periods states above and you may be asked to demonstrate that you have purchased the goods from Athlete-X Online and that the problem with the goods was not your fault.
