Returns and Requests for Credits

All goods for return must be sent at the Agent or the Buyer’s expense within 7 working days back to Merits unless otherwise arranged. Products may be returned to Merits only with prior verbal or written permission from an authorized representative of Merits. All approved Returns must be shipped at Buyer’s cost and must be properly packaged and include a copy of the original invoice as instructed by Merits. Product returns which are not Approved Returns, or not otherwise consistent with the Merits Return Policy will not be accepted by Merits and may not be suitable for credit/return. Items returned without fault or prior notice or that are custom built equipment, may be subject to a 20% restocking fee. Items of an electrical or electro-mechanical nature are not returnable unless otherwise faulty on receipt of such goods. Non-stock items or custom made or modified items specifically ordered in are not returnable under any circumstances.

Merits does not give cash refunds. All refunds are either by Cheque, Eft or onto a Credit Card.

Guarantee and Warranties

Merits distributes high-quality goods that are generally backed by a manufacturer’s warranty. The extent of this warranty is documented by way of “Written Warranty Statement” provided by the manufacturer with the relevant products supplied to the buyer by Merits. If the condition of the product is such as it might or would (subject to these terms) entitle the buyer to claim warranty, to reject or reverse purchase order, or to reject the product, the Agent or the Buyer shall first make written request to Merits to fulfil any applicable warranty obligations.

To the extent a valid warranty obligation exists, as determined by Merits, Merits shall then be entitled to take corrective actions within a reasonable time in the manner it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to repair or replacement of the product or refund the price paid for the product. If Merits takes corrective action, then Merits shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any nature whatsoever arising from and after initial delivery of the product, or the performance of its warranty obligations.

For repair, service and preventative maintenance work performed by Merits, Merits warrants only in terms of the manufacturers warranty. The warranty does not apply where any repairs or modifications are carried out otherwise than by Merits or an authorised Agent. Except as above, all warranties and conditions, whether expressed or implied, as to the goods and their fitness for any purpose are excluded.

Products & Pricing

Merits reserves the right to change without prior notice the source of any of its products. Merits further reserves the right to discontinue without prior notice any of its product and stock or replacement parts thereof. Merits may further change the prices of its products at any time and without prior notice unless otherwise agreed in writing by Merits to expressly provide prior notice to buyer. Merits will make reasonable effort to provide advanced notice when possible. Billing and payment shall be in Australian Dollars unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.

Goods Ex-Warehouse

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Merits and the Buyer, all products will be sold “ex-works”, Merits’s warehouse or distribution centre. Freight charges for delivery to the Agent or the Buyer’s premises will be added separately to the invoice for the goods. In the event that a Buyer chooses to use its own carrier, Merits shall be responsible for the loading of the products on departure to Buyer’s carrier.

Delivery of products to the Agent or the Buyer’s carrier shall constitute delivery to the Agent or the Buyer; thereafter all risk of loss or damage shall be at the Agent’s and or the Buyer’s responsibility with claims submitted to the Agent’s or Buyer’s carrier.

Shipping & Delivery

We deliver products using a number of local freight operators. Shipping costs are influenced by the size and weight of the product and your location. Orders are dispatched within 2-3 business days. Shipping times are estimated at between 2 – 3 days for metro regions and 5 – 7 business days for regional areas. Although Merits will make every effort to adhere to an agreed time for delivery, it accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from any delay however caused.
