2.3 Consumer Guarantees

All products sold at Spectrum are covered by a Standard Australian 12 Month Warranty. This can be either a manufacturer’s warranty or a Spectrum warranty depending on the product’s origin. The warranty covers manufacturer’s faults, defects, parts and labour. Any fault that is deemed to be due to manufacturing will be covered under warranty for any parts or labour required to repair the item. In some cases, if the cost of repair outweighs that of a replacement, a suitable replacement product or store credit may be offered.

Spectrum repairs are carried out by our qualified in-house technician, who repairs all items as per the manufacturer's guidelines. If any item is unable to be repaired in-house, it will be sent back to the relevant repair centre or manufacturer directly. Repairs in-house usually take around 1 week to complete and repairs sent back to the supplier usually take between 4-6 weeks to complete.

As per Australian Consumer Law, we are not required to provide a refund or replacement if you change your mind. You will be able to choose between a refund or exchange if the item has a major problem. This is when the item:

  • 2.3(a) has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about it
  • 2.3(b) is unsafe
  • 2.3(c) is significantly different from the sample or description
  • 2.3(d) doesn’t do what we said it would, or what you asked for and can’t be easily fixed


If the problem is not major, we will repair or replace the item within a reasonable time frame.

If you would like more information regarding this, please refer to the ACCC’s official website here.
