To be eligible to receive a refund, any accessories and manuals supplied with product must be included, including packaging. All of our products are sold with a full Australian Manufacturers Warranty and we are Australian authorised to sell all products we supply. The terms of each warranty are specific to each manufacturer and vary depending on the product. Most manufacturer warranties provide protection against defects or faults for at least 12 months RIO does not accept any or refund claim for any goods after 2 days from date of purchase or simply change of mind.
Lay-by Purchases & Pre-Order Items
All lay-by purchases need to be finalised within 3 months of the first payment date unless otherwise stated in writing by a RIO Sound & Vision representative. Any lay-by purchase that has not been finalised within 3 months is at risk of cancellation and you will not be eligible for a refund. For pre-order items, the 3 month time period will apply once the stock has arrived in store.
When placing a pre-order on any item, you agree that you are committing to purchase the stock, and that the deposit amount paid secures the supply of stock, and the price agreed upon. You agree to make a commitment to pay the final balance once this stock is available for supply.
Cancellations on all orders
Please note a Flat Fee of $80 cancellation applies to all orders to cover processing and administration costs.
For any orders placed where stock is not available immediately, RIO Sound and Vision will order and supply exactly to what has been ordered. An email will be sent with an ETA (estimated time of arrival). RIO Sound and Vision can only give you an estimate date and will not be held responsible for any delays. In placing an order, you agree that supply delays do not warrant a refund if the delay is due to external suppliers and not the fault of RIO Sound & Vision. No refunds will be issued for placed orders due to a simple change of mind.
Cancellation on “Order In Items” need to be notified within 48 hours of placing the order via email to receive a full refund, failing this a cancellation fee on order will attract a 50% restocking fee on the total value purchased. As RIO Sound and Vision supply our clients with only new items and components it is our obligation to full fill all orders exactly as they are described.
