Refund and Returns Policy

Overview

Our refund and returns policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have passed since your purchase, we can’t offer you a full refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as block testing fluid and other consumable items.

Additional non-returnable items:

  • License updates on diagnostic tools
  • Special ordered items agreed on as special orders before placing the order for the items

To complete your return, we require an invoice or proof of purchase.

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will be paid via EFT into your bank account within 5 working days. If your refund is rejected the best course of action will be discussed and we will try and find you an alternative product to suite your needs or offer you in store credit.

Late or missing refunds
