Absolutely. I’d recommend making this two clearly separated sections: Shipping Policy and Return Policy, with enough detail to protect both ABC Power and the customer while remaining professional and easy to understand.
Effective Date: 24 June 2011
At ABC Power, we are committed to delivering solar panels, solar batteries, hardware, solar fitting accessories, and related products safely and efficiently. Please read the following Shipping Policy carefully before placing your order.
All orders are processed after payment and order confirmation. Processing time may vary depending on product availability, order quantity, delivery location, and whether the product requires special handling.
For products that are temporarily unavailable, ABC Power may contact the customer to provide an estimated availability or dispatch date.
Orders are dispatched to the delivery address provided by the customer at the time of purchase. Customers are responsible for ensuring that their delivery information, including the full address, contact number, and other required details, is correct.
ABC Power is not responsible for delays or failed deliveries caused by:
Incorrect or incomplete delivery information provided by the customer.
The customer being unavailable to receive the order.
Refusal to accept the delivery.
Incorrect contact details.
Circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Courier or transport delays.
Customers are strongly advised to inspect the package and products immediately upon delivery.
For solar panels, batteries, electrical equipment, hardware, and other accessories, customers should check for visible damage, missing items, incorrect products, or signs of damage during transportation before installation or fitting.
If the package appears damaged, customers should document the condition with photographs or video where possible and contact ABC Power as soon as possible.
If a product is received and appears to be faulty, damaged, incomplete, or not functioning correctly, the customer must contact ABC Power and register a complaint within 72 hours of receiving the product.
The complaint should include:
Order number or invoice number.
Product name.
Description of the problem.
Photographs and/or video showing the issue where applicable.
Any other information requested by ABC Power.
Complaints submitted after the 72-hour period may not qualify for consideration under this policy, particularly where the issue could have resulted from installation, handling, misuse, or other circumstances after delivery.
Solar panels, solar batteries, electrical equipment, hardware, and solar fitting accessories should be handled and installed by appropriately qualified or experienced persons where required.
ABC Power is not responsible for damage caused by incorrect installation, improper wiring, incorrect handling, misuse, modification, negligence, or failure to follow the manufacturer's applicable installation or operating instructions.
Estimated delivery times are provided as an indication and may vary due to courier schedules, public holidays, weather, stock availability, transport conditions, or other circumstances beyond ABC Power's reasonable control.
A delivery delay does not automatically constitute grounds for cancellation, refund, or compensation unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Any applicable delivery or shipping charges will be communicated to the customer during the ordering process or before dispatch.
Additional delivery charges may apply where a customer requests a special delivery arrangement, changes the delivery address after dispatch, or where a delivery attempt fails because of circumstances attributable to the customer.
Once the order has been delivered to the nominated delivery address and accepted, the customer is responsible for safely storing and handling the products until installation.
Customers should retain their invoice, delivery documentation, and product packaging where reasonably possible until the products have been inspected and confirmed to be in satisfactory condition.
Effective Date: 24 JUne 2011
ABC Power supplies solar panels, solar batteries, hardware, solar fitting accessories, and related products. Because many of these products are electrical, technical, project-specific, or intended for permanent installation, the following Return Policy applies.
If a product or accessory is not working correctly, the customer must register a complaint with ABC Power within 72 hours of receiving the product.
The customer should provide the order/invoice number and sufficient information to allow ABC Power to assess the reported issue.
Where appropriate, ABC Power may request photographs, videos, testing information, installation details, or other evidence before determining the appropriate resolution.
Products and accessories that have already been installed, fitted, connected, wired, mounted, modified, or otherwise used as part of an installation are not eligible for return simply because the customer has changed their mind or no longer requires the product.
This includes, but is not limited to:
Solar panels.
Solar batteries.
Solar fitting accessories.
Electrical accessories.
Hardware that has been permanently fitted or used.
Components that have been cut, modified, connected, wired, drilled, mounted, or otherwise altered during installation.
Customers are therefore strongly advised to check product compatibility, specifications, quantity, dimensions, and suitability before installation or fitting.
A return request for an unused and uninstalled product may be considered by ABC Power, subject to prior approval.
The product must generally be:
Unused.
Uninstalled.
Unmodified.
In its original condition.
Complete with all accessories and components.
Returned with the original packaging where reasonably possible.
Accompanied by the original invoice or proof of purchase.
No product should be sent back without prior approval from ABC Power.
Where a return is approved because the customer has changed their mind, ordered the incorrect product, ordered an incorrect quantity, or no longer requires the product, the customer is responsible for all return-related costs and expenses.
This may include:
Return courier charges.
Transportation costs.
Packaging costs.
Collection charges.
Handling or related logistics expenses.
ABC Power will not be responsible for these costs unless the return is determined to be due to an error by ABC Power or another circumstance for which ABC Power is legally responsible.
If a product is believed to be faulty, damaged, or incorrectly supplied, the customer must contact ABC Power within the required 72-hour complaint period.
ABC Power will assess the complaint and may request supporting information before approving a return or other resolution.
If ABC Power determines that the product qualifies for a return due to a confirmed product fault or an error by ABC Power, the appropriate resolution may include repair, replacement, credit, refund, or another remedy, subject to the circumstances and applicable law.
ABC Power will not normally accept responsibility for damage that occurs after delivery as a result of:
Incorrect installation.
Incorrect handling.
Improper storage.
Accidental damage.
Incorrect electrical connection.
Improper wiring.
Modification or alteration.
Misuse.
Negligence.
Installation by an unsuitable or unqualified person where qualification is required.
Failure to follow applicable product instructions.
All approved returns may be inspected before a final decision is made.
A return does not automatically mean that a refund will be issued. ABC Power may first assess the condition of the product and determine whether the reported issue is covered under the applicable return or warranty terms.
If a returned product is found to have been installed, used, modified, damaged, or otherwise altered contrary to this policy, the return may be rejected.
Where a refund is approved, the refund process will be communicated to the customer after the return has been assessed and approved.
Any applicable deductions, including approved return costs or other charges permitted under the applicable terms, may be deducted from the amount refunded.
This Return Policy does not replace or limit any separate manufacturer's warranty or applicable consumer rights.
Where a product is covered by a manufacturer's warranty, the customer may be required to follow the relevant warranty assessment and claim procedure.
Warranty coverage may depend on correct installation, use, maintenance, and compliance with the applicable product requirements.
Customers should not install, fit, modify, wire, drill, mount, or otherwise alter a product until they have confirmed that the product is correct and suitable for their requirements.
Once a product or accessory has been installed or fitted, it may no longer be eligible for return under this policy.
For shipping problems, damaged products, incorrect products, or products that are not working correctly, customers should contact ABC Power as soon as possible and, where applicable, within 72 hours of delivery.
Please provide your order/invoice number and details of the issue so that ABC Power can assess the matter and advise you of the next steps.
ABC Power reserves the right to update this Shipping & Return Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on the ABC Power website.
