Wine & Dine Refund Policy
This Refund Policy applies to all QT at Home purchases.
QT Hotels and Resorts Pty Ltd trading as QT at Home (QT at Home) will provide refunds and exchanges in accordance with all applicable laws including the Australian Consumer Law and on the terms set out in this Refund Policy. This Refund Policy does not exclude, restrict or modify your rights including under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified, and any benefits provided under this Refund Policy are in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Ordinarily, where you are entitled to receive a refund or exchange under the Australian Consumer Law, you will be required to return the product to the supplier (unless the product cannot be returned without significant cost). However, due to the COVID-19 crisis and for health and safety reasons, where you are entitled to receive a refund or exchange, QT at Home may provide that remedy without the product needing to be returned to QT at Home, as set out in this Refund Policy.
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled:
- to cancel your order with us; and
- to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.
You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel your order and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
CHANGE OF MIND
Refunds, returns or exchanges are not permissible if you have simply changed your mind
RETURNS / REFUNDS / EXCHANGES – FAULTY, DAMAGED OR INCORRECT ITEMS
If there is a major problem with your QT at Home purchase, you will be entitled to a refund or exchange in the circumstances provided under the Australian Consumer Law. Examples of a major problem may include:
- being supplied with the incorrect food or beverage products;
- the food or beverage products being significantly different from their description;
- the products being damaged or soiled,
- but does not include damage or missing items caused by you.
If the problem is minor, QT at Home may choose whether to provide you with a refund or exchange or otherwise a remedy to correct the problem (such as the provision of a missing item). In the case of exchanges for damaged items, QT at Home will provide a replacement of the same or substantially the same item as the originally ordered item, or if that is not possible, a refund.
COVID-19 – items not requiring return for exchange or refund
