Smartfire Terms, Warranty – Returns/Repairs

Short Version

Your enjoyment of our Smartfire products is our primary concern, so please get in touch with us if you have any issues. We've been known to drive spare parts out on Sunday mornings, replace probes etc. Contact us through the Facebook Page (facebook.com/smartfirebbq) or via email support@smartfirebbq.com

The short version is we gladly honour the Australian law consumer guarantees and additionally offer a *30 day* return policy in case you aren't satisfied with the product. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in as new condition. It must also be in the original undamaged packaging. 

The below detailed policy should encourage responsible behaviour on both sides of the transaction to ensure smooth sailing for our small business that provides great value and support to the BBQ community!

Detailed Terms of Purchase, Warranty and Support

Customers should can raise a Support Ticket or email us direct at support@smartfirebbq.com. Include order number, date of purchase and details of the problem.

Smartfire products include a 1 year limited warranty against defects in either components or workmanship. This warranty does not apply to power banks, cable winders, individual probes or integrated probes that are an integral part of the product, where a six month period is offered.

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.

The product warranty and guarantee does not cover damage caused by fair wear and tear, abnormal storage conditions, incorrect use, accidental misuse, abuse, neglect, misapplication or modification, or use with non-Smartfire hardware/software. No warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is offered and the user assumes the entire risk of using the product. Any liability by Smartfire is limited only to the replacement of defective materials or workmanship, and Smartfire accepts no responsibility for the consequential loss. In line with our policy of continuous development, we reserve the right to amend our product specifications without prior notice. This warranty is valid only if the product is purchased from Smartfire directly or from an authorized reseller. If you purchase a Smartfire product from an unauthorized reseller, you will not receive warranty or technical support.

Smartfire does offer a 1 month change of mind happiness guarantee in addition to normal consumer rights. This is from date of purchase and only covers purchases direct from Smartfire. It requires that the unit is in 'New in Box' condition, ie hasn't been used on a bbq, 100% perfect ready for resale. If components of the package are not in 100% new condition then we may at our discretion provide a partial refund to cover the costs of replacing the used/dirty/unsatisfactory components in the package and handling.

Our policy lasts the greater of 30 days from purchase or 5 days of receiving it, just in case there was a parcel delivery delay. If longer than that has passed then unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging if there was formal packaging on the item.

If the happiness guarantee is claimed, the purchaser will not be eligible for any extended terms such as our happiness guarantee on any future purchases. We reserve the right to refuse and refund an order and subsequent purchases are strictly limited to the Australian Consumer Law guarantees, ie for warranty and defective manufacturing.

Shipping Policy / Freight Carriage and Insurance

Smartfire uses a range of mail carriers and freight companies to deliver goods, the most common carrier is Australia Post who has a partner network of domestic providers for local delivery in international countries.

• Smartfire has no responsibility for parcel loss, damage, delay or other events once the parcel is lodged with the carrier. For context, this is similar to CFR (Cost and Freight) incoterms where Smartfire will contract a freight company on behalf of the customer and the responsibility transfer to the customer as soon as the parcel is lodged with the freight company.
• Parcels are shipped without insurance by default. If a customer desires to insure their purchase then please contact Smartfire for a customised quote on the desired items and postal destination. Note that without insurance if a parcel goes missing the maximum most freight providers will refund is the cost of shipping! 
• Customer can request a quote with carrier of choice. Just contact support to ask for a customised shipping quote or to confirm which carrier and class of service would be used for a given destination.
• Smartfire will help as much as practical. As the customer of the freight company, Smartfire will perform reasonable investigation of any missing parcels on behalf of the customer.
