Any returns outside of warranty claims, are subject to our prior approval.

3. You can ask for a replacement or refund if the problem with a product is major. Within ACCC guidelines for refunds the following factors will be taken into account to determine the refund value:

•     how much time has passed since the product was purchased

•     type of product

•     how a consumer is likely to use the product

•     the length of time for which it is reasonable for the product to be used

•     the amount of use it could reasonably be expected to tolerate before the failure becomes noticeable.

Returns of software or games will not be accepted unless it's for a warranty claim.

6. Advance replacement is only available for certain products where this is stated in the product description. Please contact us for instructions to be provided how to arrange this.

7. If products received are not as per your order, please inform Yoo’s Technology within 24 hours of receiving the delivery, do not open any packaging or use the products as it will be deemed as an acceptance of goods and will not be accepted for return. Yoo’s Technology may pack non retail boxed items using re-used packaging materials for added protection (e.g. hard drive packed inside an empty retail cdrom box).

8. There will be no credit or refund given on the price difference of the ordered items due to price drops once the product has been processed and shipped out. Prices of computer parts are volatile and we do not control the price fluctuations.

9. We do not accept any returns of any opened and used products that may breach the health & safety regulations such as headsets, ear pieces and headphones, unless the item is faulty.

10. Yoo’s Technology reserves the title of ownership for any extra or incorrect goods shipped as result of our error. We will arrange any extra shipments to recover these goods, and cover the cost in resolving this issue.

Warranty

1. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian 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.

2. Upon Yoo’s Technology testing the products if the fault is determined as a major failure the customer can choose:

•     a refund

•     an identical replacement, or one of similar value if reasonably available

If the fault is determined as a minor failure Yoo’s Technology will choose to:

•     repair the goods

•     replace the goods

•     offer a refund

3. Some products provide a local or direct manufacturer to customer warranty service. These products include printers, scanners, UPS and monitors and many other retail products. It is the customer choice to either use these services or return the product back to Yoo’s Technology. We strongly encourage usage of these services as it generally provides faster turnaround times and may sometimes be an onsite service where the service is performed at the customer's premises. Please read the manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions for the specific details.

4. Warranty is provided solely on products sold by Yoo’s Technology. Other faulty products used in conjunction that are not purchased from Yoo’s Technology will not be covered under warranty.

5. Any product sold by Yoo’s Technology is meant to be professionally installed; improper installation is NOT covered under warranty. Please seek or pay for a professional assistance if required, to avoid paying any unnecessary cost for replacement.

6. Systems built by Yoo’s Technology come as standard with a 2 year labour warranty which covers for the entire servicing requirement when the system requires servicing such as repair. When your system has any hardware failure, Yoo’s Technology will rebuild/repair back to its original condition at no extra charge. Labour warranty covers only the hardware and its original operating system/software that Yoo’s Technology installed (must be purchased from Yoo’s Technology only), so it does not include any hardware/software troubleshooting or repair that we did not originally install.

    - Labour warranty will be void if the system is verified to be re-installed, changed, fixed, or replaced by any third parties or any person that are not authorized by Yoo's Technology.

7. Yoo’s Technology does NOT cover any software installation issues e.g. drivers or system software updates for any computer where Yoo’s Technology did not install the software originally. Should any warranty claims arise where software is at fault, installed by the customer, standard charges will apply.

8. Yoo’s Technology is not responsible for any data loss; backing up of data is the responsibility of the customer. Yoo’s Technology does not provide a backup or data recovery service when sending hard disks for warranty claims. Hard drives sent for warranty are always replaced with a new/refurbished unit. Yoo’s Technology will provide the customer with a repair notice before accepting any product where:

•     the product being refunded/repaired/replaced is capable of retaining user-generated data, for example, mobile phones, computers, hard drives

•     refurbished product may be provided rather than repair, or refurbished parts are used in the repair of defective products.

9. Warranty will be rejected for any non-manufacturing defects, if the item is found to be mishandled, modified, tampered, abused, physically damaged, improperly installed and used, or damaged caused by power surges, electrical faults and lightning strikes. Products returned that show evidence of user induced damage, over clocking, tampering or modification, will be denied. This includes improper installation of the CPU heat sink, scratches on motherboard, failure of fan/heat sink, broken or damaged parts, cutting of cables or the soldering of components.

10. Please provide original packaging if possible or adequate safe packaging as insufficient safe packaging will result in warranty being voided should any damage occur in transit.

11. A large percentage of warranty returns are tested to be without fault. In the event the product is not faulty, Yoo’s Technology reserves the right to charge a minimum service fee of $50 per product for time spent on testing the product. Any shipping or handling costs will also be chargeable to customer.

12. Returns of non faulty items are considered on a case by case basis, included temporary substitute products. A minimum 15% restocking fee may applies.

13. Yoo’s Technology will only be responsible for uncollected warranty products for a maximum period of 60 days. If the customer does not collect their goods within this time period Yoo’s Technology will dispose of the goods by following the disposing of uncollected goods policy of the Australian Consumer Law.
