This Policy will commence from 1 February 2025. It replaces all other returns and refunds policies of SIMI Store (whether written or not).

SIMI Store wants customers to be completely satisfied with their purchase.

We encourage all customers to read this Policy prior to making a purchase from SIMI Store.

We also recommend that you immediately inspect any goods that you have purchased upon delivery or collection, to ensure you are completely satisfied with the goods, including that the goods are of acceptable quality, and match the description we have provided to you.

1. Consumer Guarantees and Your Rights under Consumer Law

This Policy does not replace or exclude any rights that apply to you under consumer law, including Australian Consumer Law, New Zealand consumer law, and any relevant statutory instruments and binding regulations in these regions.

If you believe that your purchase fails to meet one or more binding consumer guarantees, then you may be entitled to a remedy.

If there is a major failure, you may seek a refund or replacement (subject to availability), or you may keep the product and seek compensation for any drop in the value. If the failure is considered minor, at our discretion, we may choose to repair the item, process a refund, or replace the item with one of comparable quality, value and function within a reasonable time.

Please contact our Support team if you believe that the goods you have purchased fail to meet a consumer guarantee, or if you wish to discuss your goods. In some cases, we may have to arrange an inspection or consult with the manufacturer of the relevant goods before determining the remedy that you are entitled to.
