Expenses relating to product returns
Any expenses relating to the return of your product to a The Golf Factory store will normally be your cost. This does not impact your consumer guarantee rights, you may be entitled to recover reasonable postage or transportation costs if the product is confirmed to have a problem. For online store purchases that meet the return criteria, we will pay for return freight for any parcel under 20kg in weight. Parcels in excess of 20kg will need to be assessed by our Customer Care Team.
Should a Store Manager refund an online purchase if you change your mind, the refund or The Golf Factory gift card issued will be for the value of the purchased items online, excluding any delivery fee incurred.
Some products need to be assessed.
We may need to assess your product to determine whether a repair, replacement or refund is appropriate. Some products may need to be sent to the manufacturer or their repair agent for assessment.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Special procedure for the return of certain products
The repair of certain electrical or computing goods may result in the loss of user-generated data. Please ensure that you have made a copy of any data saved on your goods and delete your data (if possible) before returning them.
