Refunds & Returns Policy
Change of Mind Returns
Refunds
We will refund the purchase amount minus any delivery costs for Mobile and Solo Connect alarms returned in accordance with this Policy.
Returns period
Home Alarm
The Home Alarm may be returned at any time as the Equipment remains the property of MePACS (except when funded by PAASA).
Per our Terms & Conditions, if on cancellation of the MePACS Home Alarm Service, you do not return the Home Equipment within seven days, you become liable immediately for our costs in replacing that Equipment to the value of $350.
Solo Connect
For the Solo Watch, please note the returns period is 14-days from delivery, subject to the policy terms.
Mobile Alarm
For the Mobile Alarm, the returns period is 6-weeks from the date of dispatch, subject to the policy terms.
Returns due to insufficient coverage
It is ultimately the Client's responsibility to test their alarm during the Returns Period and identify any mobile network coverage or signal issues.
During the application process, it is standard practice for our Sales team to check Telstra or Optus network coverage at the client’s primary address (as provided). We may ask the client further questions regarding 4G signal strength at their residence (such as on mobile devices connected to the Telstra or Optus networks) to ascertain if there are any coverage concerns.
As the 4G Network is beyond our control, we cannot guarantee that the device will have adequate signal in all locations that the client frequents. As a 4G device, it will work wherever there is 4G coverage.
If the client believes there is insufficient coverage, they are required to contact us within the Returns Period so we can investigate. Should we find the alarm coverage is inadequate and we cannot provide an alternate solution or network provider, we will provide a refund in accordance with this Policy.
Conditions
To be eligible for a Change of Mind refund (including returns due to insufficient coverage), the personal alarm device must be returned in its original condition, including all packaging and accessories.
This refund policy does not apply to devices that are not in original condition, including but not limited to:
- if the device shows wear and tear
- if the device is damaged after delivery
- if any attempt has been made to alter the device
- if it has been dropped, submerged or broken
- if the original packaging or accessories are not included in original condition
