Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with warranties and guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (consumer guarantees). You are entitled to a replacement or a refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the good repaired or replaced if the good fails to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Change of mind returns

No change of mind returns will be accepted.

Please choose carefully as CIMC Group does not accept return of goods because you change your mind or make a wrong decision about CIMC Group’s goods or services.

Custom/Personalised goods

If you have purchased branded or personalised goods from us, these items must be approved by you prior to production. Approving design specifications ensures that all parties agree to the artwork and good being manufactured. We also rely on you to ensure that the quantity, names, numbers, colours and designs are correct on the good.

Any errors in artwork, good type, spelling or quantity that have been approved and supplied by you will not be subject to a refund, exchange or repair.

If you receive a custom or personalised good that is faulty or does not match the approved specifications, please refer to our policy on RETURN OF INCORRECT, FAULTY OR DAMAGED GOODS below.

Merchandise Pre-orders

Pre-orders are advance purchases made on new merchandise goods that either are not currently in stock and are produced specifically for you or are held aside for you for collection at a later date. The benefit of purchasing pre-order goods is that you will secure your good and size without risking the item becoming sold out shortly after it is offered for sale (either online or in store).

Pre-orders cannot be cancelled or refunded once placed. An exchange may be available subject to stock availability.

CIMC Group is an independent apparel supplier and is not directly associated with any specific event for which you may be purchasing the merchandise good. We cannot, and do not, guarantee that the event will proceed or that you will be able to attend the event.

Return of incorrect, faulty or damaged goods
