45-Day Return Period
SUNVANTA offers a 45-day return period from the date your order is delivered.
We want our customers to feel confident when purchasing outdoor living products from SUNVANTA. If you decide that your purchase is not suitable for your needs, you may request a return within 45 days, subject to the conditions outlined in this policy.
To start a return request, customers must contact SUNVANTA customer support before sending any product back. Our team will review your request, confirm eligibility, and provide the necessary return instructions.
Returns sent without prior approval may not be accepted or may result in delays in processing.
Return Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for a return, the product must meet the following conditions:
Product Condition
The item must be returned:
- Unused or only handled to the extent reasonably necessary to inspect the product.
- Free from damage, stains, marks, or signs of excessive handling
- Without modifications, alterations, or repairs made by the customer
Customers may open packaging and inspect the product; however, products that have been fully assembled, installed, used outdoors, or exposed to weather conditions may not qualify for a standard change-of-mind return.
Original Packaging and Components
Returned products should include, where applicable:
- Original packaging materials
- All included accessories
- Installation hardware
- Manuals and instructions
- Product components and parts originally supplied with the order
Missing parts, damaged packaging, or incomplete returns may affect the return assessment or refund amount.

Products that have been:
- Installed permanently
- Anchored or fixed to a structure
- Used outdoors
- Exposed to rain, wind, dirt, or other environmental conditions
may not be eligible for a standard 45-day return unless the return is related to a product fault covered under Australian Consumer Law.
This does not affect any rights customers may have under Australian Consumer Law, including rights relating to faulty, unsafe, or incorrectly described products.

The inspection may include checking:

Partial Refunds or Refund Adjustments
In certain situations, a full refund may not be available if the returned product does not meet the required return conditions or has reduced value due to the customer's handling.
A refund adjustment may apply in the following circumstances:
-
Product used beyond reasonable inspection:
If the product has been used, assembled, installed, or handled in a way that goes beyond what is necessary to inspect the item, and this has resulted in a reduction of the product’s value. -
Product damaged after delivery due to customer handling:
If the returned item has been damaged, modified, stained, or affected by improper use, incorrect installation, insufficient care, or inadequate packaging during return transportation. -
Missing parts or incomplete returns:
If the returned product is missing original accessories, components, manuals, packaging, or other items included with the purchase, the refund amount may be adjusted based on the missing items or reduced value. -
Return received outside the applicable return period:
If a return request is made or the product is received after the applicable return timeframe has expired, a full refund may not be available.
Any refund adjustment will only reflect a reduction in value caused by customer handling beyond reasonable inspection.
Before making any refund adjustment, SUNVANTA will review the condition of the returned product and provide details regarding any applicable reduction.
This does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), including your rights regarding products that are faulty, unsafe, or not as described.
