Returns Policy main image Returns Policy image

At PaddleZone, we offer a flexible returns policy and are happy to accept items back for an exchange if items purchased are damaged or faulty upon receipt.

  • Products cannot be returned or exchanged if the customer has simply changed their mind, are special order/colour or ex-demo products.

  • Refunds and exchanges are permitted where the product purchased do not perform as advertised.

  • Sale or discontinued items and clothing cannot be exchanged or refunded.

  • Refunds & Exchanges will only be offered on full priced items.

Refund Policy

Our products come with a guarantee or warranty from the manufacturer. In addition, they come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a warranty replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

You are also entitled to have the products repaired or replaced at PaddleZone’s discretion if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Full details of your consumer rights may be found at www.consumerlaw.gov.au  

Warranty periods may vary between products - please check the warranty documentation or check with the instore sales staff on applicable warranties.

Warranty claims will only be considered where the products have not been misused or used commercially. The expense of claiming the warranty (if any) will be borne by the consumer.

Exchange Policy

Exchanges can only be processed instore at the PaddleZone Store associated to your original order.

All product exchanges must be made within 7 days of receipt. Custom orders, items on sale, ex-demo or discontinued cannot be exchanged.

If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase then you may return it within seven days in exchange for another in-stock product within the same category and of similar price (once), provided that it is still in new and saleable condition. 

Any price difference in exchanged product will be issued as a PaddleZone credit to the value of difference.

Products must be in original, saleable condition and in undamaged packaging.

PFD’s (life jackets) must have tags still attached and not have been used.

Shorts, pants, shirts, gloves, shoes/booties and hats (clothing) unfortunately can’t be exchanged under any circumstances for hygienic reasons.

If you wish to return a product within 7 days of purchase then you may return it in exchange, with prior approval for another product.  Any minor differences in price will be charged or credited accordingly.  Any freight, bank/merchant, postage or shipping costs associated with such return and exchange will be borne by the customer.  

Where the product being returned shows evidence of having been used then PaddleZone reserves the right to allow such an exchange or not. In some cases where the product appears to have been used or damaged then PaddleZone may accept the return for a lesser value, or refuse the exchange at the discretion of PaddleZone.

The seven day exchange policy does not apply if the products have been ordered in specifically for the customer, for example a specific colour or model that was not available at the store at the time of purchase and has had to be brought in specifically for that customer.
