Please back up your data before service. Help Me Geek is not liable for data loss during diagnostics or repair.
Proof of Purchase
A valid proof of purchase (such as a receipt, invoice, or bank statement matching the transaction) is required for all warranty claims.
How to Make a Warranty Claim
- Return the item to our store with your proof of purchase.
- Explain the issue clearly to our staff.
- If the issue is covered under warranty or the ACL, we will repair or replace it at no cost to you.
Turnaround Time: Most warranty claims are completed within 3–5 business days, subject to part availability.
Change of Mind
Please choose carefully. We do not offer refunds, exchanges, or store credit for a change of mind once a product is purchased or after a repair service has been completed. This includes situations where you no longer want the product/service, chose the wrong item, or found it cheaper elsewhere.
Your Consumer Rights
This policy sits alongside your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). For major failures with a product or service, you are entitled to your choice of a replacement or refund. For minor failures, we will remedy the issue within a reasonable time.
