We understand that it can be tricky business buying clothes for your child so if you do need to return or exchange any part of your order, we’re here to make it as simple as possible.

The first step is always to contact us at hello@snowkids.com.au to lodge a Returns/Exchanges/Refunds claim within 7 days of receiving your order. This will provide you with the unique RMAN (Return Merchandise Authority Number) that is required to process your return or exchange.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, which forms Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (ACL). If you are an Australian consumer for the purposes of the ACL, you are entitled to 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.

Nothing in these terms excludes any right, guarantee or warranty you’re entitled to by law, however we do exclude all other guarantees, conditions and warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law. We also specifically exclude liability for negligence.

Wherever possible, our liability for breach of any condition, warranty or guarantee is limited, at our option, to:

replacement of the product;repair of the product;payment of the cost of having the product repaired; orsuch other fair and reasonable remedy as we are ready and willing to provide.

We won’t be liable for any consequential loss or damage or other direct or indirect loss or damage, except where we are unable to limit or exclude such loss under the ACL.

If for any reason the ACL doesn’t apply to an order you place with us (for example, if you purchase the product for re-sale with our authorisation or if you are purchasing from outside Australia), then we exclude all liability to you and we’ll only refund an order placed in accordance with this policy or as otherwise as agreed in writing.

To make an ACL-related claim, please see the Faulty Products section of this policy.
