Within ACCC guidelines for the refund of goods under warranty, if the goods returned have had a fair amount of use, Addems Air Tools is allowed to offer partial refund or replacement only based on the remaining warranty period based on the original invoice.

Please select your goods carefully before placing your order or ask for our written advice by placing a product inquiry before purchasing as we do not accept returns for refunds, credit or exchanges based on change of mind, incorrectly ordered, incompatible or unsuitable goods. Returns under this category will be at Addems Air Tools discretion and may attract a restocking fee which is fixed at the current market value less 15%.

We reserve the right to reject any returns unless goods are returned to us in their original packaging and complete accessories. Returns of products that have been dropped / damaged /modified/ tampered / manufacturer labels removed will not be accepted.

Addems Air Tools offers a 7 days new for new replacement guarantee based on DOA (Dead On Arrival). Whereby if a product purchased by customer is found to be faulty in 7 days of ‘receiving’ (if send by courier) and/or date of invoice, Addems Air Tools will guarantee an instant new replacement (subject to stock availability) or customer can also choose a store credit or a refund. This will be subject to our approval once product has been returned to us and tested. All shipping costs involved in processing of DOA goods will be fully covered by Addems Air Tools. Product claimed under DOA are to be returned to us within the 7 days period of claiming DOA as otherwise it’ll be treated as a normal warranty claim.

Advance replacement is only available for DOA items if customer purchase and pay for the same item again and once the faulty product is returned and approved to meet the warranty terms and conditions, we will then credit/refund their account. We will do our best to speed up the process of warranty returns provided all products returned meet the warranty terms and conditions. (see below)

If goods received are not as per ordered, please inform Addems Air Tools within 24 hours of receiving the delivery, do not open any packaging or use the goods as it will be deemed an acceptance of goods and will not be accepted for return.
