  • What warranty do sellers have to provide?

    As a seller you must specify any warranty offers if applicable outside the compulsory Consumer Guarantees set by the Australian Consumer Law. Please refer to our terms and conditions. As this is a clearance platform please ensure you specify if warranty is applicable.

    Consumer Guarantees – Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

    Warranty – a warranty is a voluntary promise offered by the person or business who sold the product or service to you. Once you buy the product or service, the promise becomes a right that can be enforced under the ACL.

    Warranty against defects (also known as manufacturer’s warranty)

    A warranty against defects is a representation communicated to a consumer that if the goods or services (or part of them) are defective, the business will:

    • repair or replace goods (or part of them)
    • resupply or fix a problem with services (or part of them)
    • provide compensation to the consumer.

    A representation will only be a warranty against defects if it is made at or around the time that goods or services are supplied.

    A promise about what you as a supplier or manufacturer will do if something goes wrong with a good or service can be a warranty against defects under the ACL even if it is not provided in a formal document.

    Any material with writing on it could evidence a warranty against defects, for example wording on the packaging or on a label, if those words contain such a promise.

  • Can we sell in single or bulk quantities?

    Industrial Clearance were possible recommends to offer both options as this will allow you to reach a larger market. When selling in single or small quantities, your price will need to reflect this compared to bulk quantities.

  • Does the sell price have to include GST?

    Yes, your sell price must be inclusive of GST. This makes the process easier for the buyer.
