Return Shipping & Fees

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer for satisfaction-based returns.

An administration and handling fee of up to $24.99 per item applies to satisfaction-based returns. This fee covers inspection, processing and restocking costs.

This fee does not apply to refunds provided under Australian Consumer Law for faulty products.

If a watch is returned in a condition inconsistent with resale (for example, excessive dirt, damage beyond normal wear, or missing components), cleaning or restoration fees of up to $69.90 may apply. These fees apply only to satisfaction-based returns and are based on reasonable assessment.

Damages and Issues

Please inspect your order upon receipt. Contact us as soon as possible if the item is defective, damaged, or if you receive the wrong item.

All claims are assessed in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.

Our advertisements demonstrate durability under controlled testing conditions. They are not an invitation to deliberately damage or destroy the product.

The Hard Hat Watch is built tough and designed to withstand everyday occupational knocks and impacts. However, damage caused by deliberate destruction, crushing beyond reasonable occupational use, chemical corrosion, or exposure beyond the product’s tested IP rating is not covered under warranty.

Actions not covered under warranty include:

• Diving

• Swimming in salt water or chlorinated water

• Use in steam rooms or high-temperature steam environments

• Exposure to hazardous chemicals

• Deliberate crushing or destruction

Damage resulting from misuse or exposure beyond tested conditions is not covered.

If you disagree with an assessment, you may request a written explanation and pursue your rights through the appropriate consumer authority.

The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item (where eligible) and place a separate order for the replacement.

If your order is shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days for any reason and without justification.

Refunds

Refunds under the 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee require the original watch to be returned.

Administration and handling fees (up to $24.99 per item) apply only to satisfaction-based returns.

Cleaning or restoration fees (up to $69.90 per item) may apply if items are returned in poor or unsanitary condition.

Refunds for faulty products under Australian Consumer Law will not incur administration or handling fees.
