You understand that we will use our best endeavours to meet stated timeframes for dispatch and delivery, however many factors can affect these timeframes and we cannot guarantee that they will always be met. The customer agrees to pay all related shipping charges. The customer acknowledges and accepts that it is a requirement to provide a Shipping Address known to have at least one person at all times during business hours, or the customer may incur a redelivery fee of $16.50 if no-one is present at the address to sign and accept the delivery. Delivery time can be anywhere from five (5) to twenty-eight (28) working days. The customer acknowledges and accepts that prompt delivery of their order is dependent on the speed in which the customer makes payment, the length of time payment takes to clear (minimum one working day required), and the length of time it takes for the courier to deliver the goods once the order leaves NRUS premises. Please read the Shipping info page of the website for further details on shipping.

NRUS is not responsible for any goods once they have left NRUS premises. Goods in transit are the responsibility of the courier. NRUS will endeavour to provide assistance to customers whose packages have been lost or damaged during transit. Orders shipped by courier are insured. In the case of insured packages, NRUS will work with the courier company to process the insurance. The customer accepts that insurance claims are a lengthy process (possibly several weeks) and long delays may occur. The customer accepts that NRUS cannot ship a replacement order until the insurance claim is accepted and paid to us by the insurer.

Products may, from time to time, be opened for inspection or upgrades (such as installing extra RAM) before being shipped out. Also, courier companies may open packages to inspect for security reasons. This does not constitute a used or demo product, and is not a valid reason for a request for a replacement or refund. The product is still deemed as new and unused.

We retain ownership of goods until payment is received in full.
Risk in goods, such as loss or damage, passes to you upon delivery.

14. Statutory Conditions and Warranty / Refunds
The Australian Consumer Law (“Law”) which forms part of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) implies into consumer contracts certain statutory conditions and warranties which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. These are in addition to any voluntary warranties offered by the manufacturer or supplier. Where there is a breach of such a warranty relating to goods or services, and the breach is in terms of the Australian Consumer Law, a “major” failure, then the remedy will be limited to a refund or a replacement, at your election. In all other cases, a breach of such warranty will give rise to a refund or replacement at our election.

As the supplier, we provide the following express warranties subject to the following terms and conditions:
We will refund or replace the product as the case may be (with us or you deciding and determining the action to be taken according to whether the failure is major or non-major, as stated above) in the circumstances and to the extent required under the Law if the product you receive does not match the sample or description, is substantially unfit for its intended or disclosed purpose or is not of acceptable quality (as defined in the Law), is unsafe, or if the alleged issue with the product is such that a reasonable consumer aware of the issue would not have acquired the product.
Where a refund or replacement is to be provided under the terms of this warranty, we may to the extent permitted under the Law require the return of the product to us before refunding or replacing it.
Replacement products are subject to the same warranties as the original.
You must retain your proof of purchase for any manufacturer warranty claims.
Refunds will be issued by cheque, credit card or PayPal at our discretion.

In order to obtain these remedies:
You must notify us within a reasonable time of supply of the goods. In this context a ‘reasonable time’ is from the time of supply until a time that it would be reasonable to expect the relevant failure to become apparent, considering the nature of goods. In many cases this will be 7 to 14 days, but in some circumstances may be longer. Please contact us via the enquiry form on our website. Once contacted we will advise you of the best way to return any products. We may not accept products returned without a Return Authorisation Number.
Except if and to the extent the Law requires otherwise, replacement of products or refund and reimbursement of freight costs will not be made until the original product is received by us and your claim verified.
We aim to process refunds and replacements within 28 days of receipt by us of the original product.
We will not refund or replace a product where in our reasonable opinion the product has following sale to you become of unacceptable quality due to fair wear and tear, misuse, failure to use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions, using it in an abnormal way or failure to take reasonable care.
Goods that develop a defect after first use may also be covered by manufacturer warranty. You may also wish to contact the manufacturer regarding returns and repairs.

The customer acknowledges and accepts that a refund may not be given at all if:
• the customer changes their mind;
• the product is found cheaper after placing a deposit or paying in full;
• the customer has damaged the product by using it in a way it was not made for;
• the customer does not provide a copy of the receipt.

The customer acknowledges and accepts that in the case of a warranty claim being required, the customer must contact the manufacturer of the product to begin a warranty claim, not NRUS. Manufacturer warrantied products are not handled by NRUS in most cases. In the case of a product developing a fault within seven days of purchase or a product is dead-on-arrival (DOA), the customer may contact NRUS to process a warranty claim after contacting the manufacturer to obtain a Return Authorisation (RA) number.

The customer understands that in this case, NRUS may replace the product within this seven day period only if the following conditions are met:
• The product is returned in its original condition including all packaging materials, DVDs/CDs, manuals, and hardware.
• The product is returned with a copy of the invoice.
• The manufacturer has provided an RA number to the customer, thereby taking responsibility for accepting a return of a product believed to require a warranty claim.
• NRUS has stock available of the exact product model for replacement.

The customer understands that if replacement stock is not available, the customer must wait for a replacement to become available, or wait for the seven day period to expire, then make another warranty claim through the manufacturer. In the event that a customer cannot physically return to the store of purchase to return a product, the customer must organise shipment of the product to the store of purchase. The customer acknowledges and accepts that costs incurred due to returning a product to NRUS are the complete responsibility of the customer.
All warranties outside of the first seven days will be completely handled by the manufacturer. The customer will either return the product to the manufacturer, or the manufacturer will pick up the product from the customer, depending on the type of warranty provided for the product by the manufacturer. The customer must contact the manufacturer to enquire about a product currently in the care of the manufacturer for repair, not NRUS. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to repair or replace a product deemed by the manufacturer to have a warrantable fault. NRUS takes no responsibility for the manufacturer’s policy regarding warrantable and unwarrantable faults. Any concerns or disagreements between the customer and the manufacturer’s warranty policy are solely between the customer and the manufacturer, and not the responsibility of NRUS.
The customer acknowledges and accepts that NRUS are not responsible for any data whatsoever existing on a product returned for a warranty claim. Charges will apply if data is requested by the customer to be recovered.

15. NRUS Warranty Cover
