Refund and Return Policy

At Security Zone Online, we are committed to providing high-quality products and exceptional service. However, we understand that there may be instances where returns or refunds are required. This policy outlines the terms and conditions under which we accept returns and process refunds to ensure a seamless experience for our customers.

1. Responsibility and Change of Mind Returns

You are solely responsible for your purchase, so please choose your products carefully before purchasing and placing your order with us. Research is best done prior to purchase.

We are not required to provide a refund or replacement if you change your mind under Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Currently, we do not offer change-of-mind returns.

2. Eligibility for Returns

To qualify for a return, the following conditions must be met:

  • Return Period: Products must be returned within 30 days from the date of purchase.

  • Condition: Items must be unused, undamaged, and returned with the seal intact in their original packaging, including all accessories and documentation.

  • Proof of Purchase: A valid order number or proof of purchase is required.

  • Defective or Damaged Goods: Returns for defective, damaged, or incorrect items are accepted.

3. Non-Returnable Items

The following items are not eligible for return or refund:

  • Clearance, final sale, or promotional items

  • Customized or personalized products

  • Software, licenses, or digital products once activated or downloaded

  • Products damaged due to misuse, negligence, or improper installation

4. Return Process

Initiate a Return:
Contact our Customer Support Team at sales@securityzoneonline.com.au within the return period. Provide your order number, reason for return, and (if applicable) photos of defective or damaged products.

Return Authorization:
Once approved, we will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number along with instructions on how to return your item.

Package and Ship:
Ensure the item is securely packed, including all original components. Attach a copy of your order receipt and clearly mark the RMA number on the package.

Shipping Costs:
Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility, except in cases where the product is defective, damaged, or shipped incorrectly.
We recommend using a trackable courier service and purchasing insurance for valuable items, as we are not responsible for returns lost in transit.

5. Refund Process

Once we receive your returned item, it will undergo inspection. If the return is approved, the refund will be processed as follows:

  • Refund Method: A credit will be applied to your original payment method.

  • Processing Time: Refunds may take 7–10 business days to reflect in your account, depending on your bank or payment provider.

  • Shipping Fees: Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the item was defective or incorrectly shipped.

6. Australian Consumer Law (ACL) – Major and Minor Problems

Under ACL, you are entitled to a refund or exchange if an item has a major problem, such as:

  • A problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about it

  • The item is unsafe

  • The item is significantly different from the sample or description

  • The item does not do what we said it would or what you asked for and can’t be easily fixed

Alternatively, you can choose to keep the item, and we will compensate you for any drop in value.

If the problem is not major, we will repair the item within a reasonable time. If it is not repaired in a reasonable time, you can choose a refund or replacement.

Please retain your proof of purchase, such as your receipt or order confirmation.

7. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Products

In the rare event you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect product, please notify us within 7 days of receipt.

  • Provide photos and a description of the issue for verification.

  • We will either issue a full refund or send a replacement at no additional cost.

9. Policy Modifications

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time to align with our business practices and legal requirements. Any changes will be reflected on our website, and it is the customer’s responsibility to review this policy periodically.
