Use of items

OBD2 Scanz will not be responsible for any misuse of products that are outside of their control. We sell a number of technique products that require understanding to use and with a wide range of vehicles covered there are many variables outside of our control. OBD2 Scanz will not be responsible for any damage caused to any equipment that our products are used on, if such damage is caused by user error or negligence.

Delivery and ownership of the goods

We try to ensure that all Products are delivered in a prompt and timely manner. However, from time to time, it is possible that shipping and other factors outside of Our control may result in delays. OBD2 Scanz does not accept any liability for loss or damage suffered by anyone as a result of any such delays.

Should a customer return a faulty item and demand a refund (whether the fault is verified or not), the said item immediately becomes the property of OBD2 Scanz. Only when a customer has permission to dispose the said item may a customer do so. Customers are advised to NOT DISPOSE of any sent replacement or original unit unless otherwise advised by OBD2 Scanz.

We endeavour to post out all orders on the same day they were received  if done before our cut-off time (12AM AWST, weekdays only), however there are times we may experience unforeseen delays, so your order will be posted the next business day. 

The date of dispatch listed on the Website is the estimated date of dispatch as is reasonably estimated by OBD2 Scanz. Customers are permitted to cancel their Order and receive a refund or store credit at any time prior to dispatch of the Product(s). Orders cancelled after dispatch will be subject to our return policy. 

Where a Customer gives written authority for Products to be delivered without a signature, any and all included insurance cover will be voided.

Note that ALL OBD2 Scanz orders require a signature (whether it be physical, digital or contactless) upon delivery. 

OBD2 Scanz is not responsible for the delivery times of Products. Once Products have been dispatched, it is the Customers responsibility to liaise with the courier nominated by OBD2 Scanz (as notified to the Customer) in relation to date and time of delivery. OBD2 Scanz shall not be liable for any inaccuracy of information provided to Customers relating to the date and time of delivery.

COVID-19 SHIPPING NOTICE: COVID-19 is causing delays. A possible delay of 1 – 3 (or more) business days may be expected on all types of shipping methods. We do not refund Express/Overnight postage costs that have been affected by delays.

Returned/Failed Delivery Parcels

In the event a parcel is returned by AUS Post  to OBD2 Scanz due to issues with the address or the receiver, and the buyer requests redelivery, a $12 fee (which is the AUS Post Returned Parcel Fee) and an $8 redelivery fee must be paid (as the order is no longer eligible for Free Shipping; and will be sent via Standard Post)($15 if buyers opt for Express Post). If the buyer decides to have the order cancelled and refunded due to it being returned, OBD2 Scanz will deduct $12 as well as applicable restocking fees from the refund as this is now considered a change of mind purchase. It is the responsibility of the buyer to enter the correct shipping details to ensure their parcels are delivered to the correct address, as well as it is the buyer’s responsibility to stay updated of delivery dates and times as sufficient information regarding tracking is provided by OBD2 Scanz.

For StarTrack orders with a failed delivery, the redelivery fee is $30. Should a buyer decide to cancel an order after a failed delivery, the refund will be subject to applicable restocking fees AND a returned parcel fee of $30 which is charged by StarTrack. Also note that the initial Overnight Post fee will not be refunded.

Expedited Shipping Cost and Insurance

OBD2 Scanz will not refund any Expedited Shipping cost (and insurance) for items that are returned for the following reasons:

1. Change of mind.
2. Incorrect or incompatible (without or against OBD2 Scanz advise).
3. Refused orders.
4. Affected by delays.
5. No one at home to receive/unresponsive recipient.

Lost/Damaged Orders

Transit Cover/Shipping insurance is available as an add-on at $2.50 per $100 value (items below $100 in value are still insureable for $2.50). Should you wish to add insurance, please let us know prior to purchasing via Live Chat or E-mail.
As tracking details are stored only for a maximum of two months since generation, all items not received, lost or damaged while in transit MUST be reported within a MONTH from the date of sale. Reports done after this prescribed time and period will not be honoured.

Product Warranty

The warranty of your device may vary (see product description). The warranty effectivity date will start on the date of purchase. Replacements come with the same original warranty as the initial product that was replaced. A replacement will not add to your warranty life; it carries over the effectivity of the original warranty. We reserve the right not to offer a refund or repair where the item fault is a result of misuse, abuse or neglect.

Faulty or damaged goods

OBD2 Scanz will repair, troubleshoot, replace or refund faulty or damaged products in accordance with the Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. All items damaged by shipping must be reported within 7 days from delivery. A report of a damaged good/item after this  time frame will no longer be honoured. 

OBD2 Scanz will refund the full purchase price or replace the product if it is proven to be faulty and only when the buyer has sent clear and sufficient video and photo proof* showing the fault. If the item is sent back without this proof it will need to be returned in a good as new condition, and a applicable restocking fees will be deducted from the refund. OBD2 Scanz tests all returned items whether this proof is provided or not, and if upon further testing we are unable to replicate or prove the fault, restocking fees will apply (even when any proof is sent). We reserve the right not to offer a refund or repair where the item fault is a result of misuse or neglect.

*Note that even if photo and video proof is provided, OBD2 Scanz reserves the right to demand the item to be returned to be tested, to validate the claim. 

OBD2 Scanz will advise troubleshooting when necessary to remedy an issue with an item. If a customer refuses to troubleshoot and decides to return an item without troubleshooting and with or without proof, a 10% restocking fee will be deduted from the refund. Only when troubleshooting measures are exhausted and when the item is proven to be faulty (conditions above) will a full refund or replacement be issued.

Warranties are voided if the item/product damage/fault is found by OBD2 Scanz to have been caused by user error, negligence or misuse of the item.

“Not as described” items

Claims of items that are ‘not as described’ require photo and video proof to justify the claim. Each OBD2 Scanz product has a limitation indicated on the description, and it is the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of it. False claims of ‘not as described’ on returned items will incur applicable restocking fees on the refund and will fall under the ‘change of mind’ category. All claims of ‘not as described’, when proven, must be returned immediately within 3 business days upon claim validation or instruction of OBD2 Scanz. If not returned within this time frame, you refund will be subject to applicable restocking fees. If an item is really ‘not as described’, why hold on to it for long if it’s not working as intended?

Inaccurate Readings/Tools

For claims of goods that are ‘not accurate’, ‘does not work accurately’, ‘wrong/false readings’, these must be reported within one month from date of purchase (which should be sufficient enough for a user to determine inaccuracy). Photo and video proof will be required to support/justify your claim. Note that claims done more than one month after date of purchase will be subject to additional and thorough scrutiny, to deter use and return abuse.  OBD2 Scanz reserves the right to decline a return, refund or replacement for items claimed as ‘not accurate, ‘does not work accurately’, ‘wrong/false readings’ if more than 30 days have elapsed from date of purchase.

Incomplete Orders/Components/Parts

OBD2 Scanz ensures that all order quantities and items are correct prior to dispatch. In cases where some items or components are missing from your order, we require photo proof of incomplete orders immediately after tracking shows as delivered. If not reported immediately, OBD2 Scanz will not refund nor replace claims of lost/incomplete items.

Backordered Items

Items that are marked as ON BACKORDER will be posted as soon as the item in question is back in stock. When a buyer selects Expedited Shipping for an item that is ON BACKORDER, the buyer FULLY UNDERSTANDS that the Expedited Shipping option will only apply when the backordered item is already in stock.

Returning A Replacement

If a buyer decides to return a working replacement for an item that was initially defective (whether or not a prepaid shipping label was provided), and demands a refund, a 50% deduction will be applied on the refund as this is now considered a ‘change of mind’ purchase. The return must be done within 7-days from the date of delivery of the replacement.

Returning for Fault Inspection

If a buyer decides to return an item for inspection to determine/validate and claimed fault/s, or if a buyer is asked to return an item for inspection, and if there are no faults found, the buyer agrees to:

1. Pay for the cost of returning the item to the buyer if they wish ($12).
2. Pay our inspection fee of ($15) per item.
3. If the item is found to have no faults after inspection and the buyer demands a refund instead of the above, the inspection fee of $15 per item will be deducted from the refund, as well as a $12 return shipping label fee (if a return label was provided by OBD2 Scanz) on top of applicable restocking fees (50% if a replacement was sent, and if either the original and replacement or both were damaged due to misuse, neglect or user error).

The item/s must be returned in excellent condition and in original, undamaged packaging. In the event these are not met, the refund will be subject to a 50% deduction (applicable only if the item is tested and confirmed to have no issues/faults or if the issue/fault was caused by user error or abnormal use). Refunds are voided if the item is returned intentionally damaged.

Use only AUS Post standard shipping, and provide us with the tracking number so we can keep track of its return progress. The refund process can be delayed if no return tracking details are provided. OBD2 Scanz limits postage refunds (if applicable) of up to $12 only, so keep postage receipts or show us a copy. Only items confirmed as faulty due to factory defect are eligible for postage refunds.

The inspection process may take 1 month from the date the item is received, so please be patient.

OBD2 Scanz will refund the purchase price of the item (if an item is found to be faulty by factory defect after inspection and a buyer demands a refund) and postage costs incurred to send the item to us provided a buyer is able to provide a receipt. Postage costs without a receipt will not be refunded. We reserve the right not to offer a refund or repair where the item fault is a result of misuse or neglect. Please note that this is all in accordance with your comsumer rights that a seller has the right to impose such fees for items damaged due to misuse, abuse or neglect, or a result of user error/no faults (which are considered a change of mind purchase).

Returning Used Items

OBD2 Scanz will not accept returned items that are used/unused and due to change of mind, if it’s more than 30 days after purchase. We hope our customers understand that we are a small and growing business, and not a large corporation that can just write-off and absorb use and return abuse. Your supporting of a local, Australian business is greatly appreciated.

Applicable Restocking Fees

It costs OBD2 Scanz to process, pack and ship your item, and test once returned. To cover these costs we impose a restocking fee for items returned due to ‘change of mind’, ‘incompatibility due to product limitation or failure to read product description’ or going against/no OBD2 Scanz advise in purchasing items that end up being incompatible. Fees vary per item value, and are deducted PER ITEM (if an order has multiple items) so please see below for the matrix.

$1 to $69: 30% of actual value/listed price

$70 to $149: 20% of actual value/listed price

$150 to $499: 10% of actual value/listed price

$500 above: 7.5% of actual value/listed price

By actual value/listed price we mean pricing on the product page, and not the value/price on your invoice after discount or with no discount.

Cancellation of Sale and Contract

OBD2 Scanz reserves the right to cancel a sale/contract anytime between the customer and seller should the latter suspect any fraudulent claim/acts being done by any customer. This applies to items not yet dispatched, returned or returned for testing. We do not tolerate acts of fraud.

30 day  Money Back Guarantee

The 30 day money back guarantee ONLY applies to products that have been unopened, unused and undamaged. In other words, to qualify for this guarantee the product must be in impeccable condition, resalable and must be returned at your cost, inspected and deemed to be in impeccable condition by OBD2 Scanz prior to the refund being issued. Note that to qualify for this guarantee you must report and return the purchased item within 30-days from date of purchase, and that applicable restocking fees will be deducted from your refund (see change of mind clause below). Defective/incompatible/’not as described’/’not working’ items are not eligible for this guarantee and will be instead subject to their own clauses as found on this agreement.

Change of Mind and Incorrect/Incompatible Products

At OBD2 Scanz you have 30 days from date of purchase to return your purchase for a partial refund*, full store credit or exchange (order value will be subject to restocking fees) as long as it is returned in a saleable condition and with original proof of purchase. The refund will be provided using your original payment method.

By saleable condition we mean that the item hasn’t been opened or used, is still in its original packaging and all manuals, packaging and accessories are included. In the event a buyer returns an item that is incomplete, showing signs of abuse, neglect and misuse, OBD2 Scanz reserves the right to not refund the buyer and should the latter demand for the item to be sent back, postage fees will apply ($12). The item/s must be returned in excellent condition, unused and in original, undamaged packaging. In the event the above are not met, the refund will be subject to a 50% deduction. Refunds are voided if the item is returned damaged.

If you can’t provide proof of purchase we will be unable to provide you with store credit or a refund.

*Note that refunds for returns due to change of mind or incorrect/incompatible item ordered (without or against OBD2 Scanz advise) must be returned within 30 days from the date the item was received, and will be charged applicable restocking fees (which will be deducted from the refundable amount)(shipping at your cost; refused parcels will be charged $12 on top of the applicable restocking fees for AUS Post, $35 for Overnight via TNT). In cases when expedited shipping is chosen for the original order, the shipping cost will not be refunded and applicable restocking fees will be deducted from the refund on top of the expedited shipping cost. If a buyer opts for store credit instead of a refund, the restocking fee will not apply. We reserve the right not to offer a refund or repair where the item fault is a result of misuse or neglect.

OBD2 RETURN POLICY:

OBD2 Scanz will NOT ACCEPT any change of mind returns for OBD2 once it has been opened and/or activated.

MAXI ECU Return Policy:

OBD2 Scanz will NOT ACCEPT any change of mind or ‘incompatible’ returns for MAXIECU once it has either been opened and activated. OBD2 Scanz will validate via testing all MAXIECU defective returns, and such returns are subject to our Returns and Testing Policy as indicated on our Terms and Conditions. Any attempts to tamper the device or falsify a return reason will void your OBD2 Scanz MAXIECU warranty.

Return Mechanism

Regardless of reason, all returns must be posted to OBD2 Scanz. We do not accept returns that are dropped off in person, at the warehouse.  Returns dropped off at the warehouse will be refused and in the event a customer insists and leaves their return (despite being told not to), OBD2 Scanz reserves the right not to process the return nor offer a replacement/refund. You also release OBD2 Scanz and Keepspace from liability should any untoward incident happen with your item/s, if returned in this circumstance. OBD2 Scanz also reserves the right to mail back any return dropped off at the warehouse, and a $15 charge will apply (to be deducted from the refund, if applicable). Should a customer refuse delivery of their return, a returned parcel fee of $12 will be deducted, on top of the $15 postage charge.

Refund Turn Around Time

Refunds are processed right after returned items are inspected and deemed to be in good working condition. Usually, this takes 3-4 weeks after tracking shows delivered, so please be patient.

Exchanging/Swapping Items

Exchanges are allowed only within 30-days from date of purchase, and they must be returned in good and saleable condition (item and packaging). By saleable condition we mean that the item hasn’t been opened or used, is still in its original packaging and all manuals, packaging and accessories are included.
