Refunds

WorkVentures offers refunds under the following conditions:

Refund requests prior to despatch

Customers may cancel their order at any time before their computer Product or Part is dispatched from our warehouse. In the event that an order is cancelled, all payments will be refunded to the customer less an Administration fee of $20.

Refund requests after despatched

Within seven (7) days of delivery, customers may contact WorkVentures to return their computer Product or Part. Once all components are returned, including the Microsoft product keys, WorkVentures will issue a refund *.  WorkVentures will not refund the cost of freight for couriering the computer Product or Part to and/or from the customer.

Major fault

In the event of a major fault within the warranty period, customers may choose to receive a full refund rather than waiting for their computer Product to be repaired.  A major fault includes:

  • A defect that cannot be fixed by our workshop within five (5) business days (excluding transit time), or
  • Equipment that is unsafe.

Once all components are returned, including the Microsoft product keys, WorkVentures will test the computer to confirm there is a fault. If the fault is confirmed then a refund will be issued. If no fault is found or the fault is not covered by WorkVentures’ warranty, arrangements will be made to return the computer to the customer. There will be an Administration fee in addition to the freight costs for returning a computer to a customer if no fault was found.

Customers requesting a refund should contact WorkVentures Call Centre on freecall 1800 112 205.
It may take up to 10 business days for the refund request to be processed once all items have been received at our facility.

* Note: where items such as the monitor or Microsoft Product Keys are missing, the refund amount may be reduced
