PART B — Returns & Refund Policy

.

1. Our Quality Commitment — 100% Pre-Shipment Testing

GPS Trackers Australia tests and verifies every unit of the Complete Remote Fleet Kit — including the AI Dashcam V3, Starlink Mini modem and GPS tracking device — as fully functional prior to dispatch. Every shipment is accompanied by a pre-shipment test certification confirming the hardware was tested and working at the time of leaving our facility.

Because of this, dead-on-arrival (DOA) or manufacturing-defect claims are extremely rare. The most common post-installation issues our customers experience arise from incorrect installation, incompatible vehicle wiring configurations, or improper setup. Our technical support team is available to assist with installation guidance before any return process is initiated.

Important: Before lodging any return or warranty claim, customers must contact our technical support team on 02 8764 0753 or admin@gpstrackersaustralia.au. Our team will work with you to diagnose and resolve the issue remotely. Many issues are resolved at this stage without the need for a return.

2. Change of Mind Returns

GPS Trackers Australia accepts change of mind returns subject to the following strict conditions. These conditions apply exclusively to change of mind. For returns of faulty products please refer to section 3.

Change of mind returns are accepted only where ALL of the following conditions are met:

  • The return request is made within 7 calendar days of the date of delivery
  • The product is unused, uninstalled and in its original factory condition
  • The product is returned in its original undamaged packaging with all accessories, documentation and components included
  • The product has not been powered on, connected to a vehicle, or had any configuration applied
  • Written return authorisation has been obtained from GPS Trackers Australia prior to returning the item — unauthorised returns will not be accepted
  • The customer provides proof of purchase (order confirmation or tax invoice)

The following deductions apply to all approved change of mind refunds:

  • A 10% restocking and administration fee will be deducted from the refund amount
  • Original outbound shipping and handling costs paid by GPS Trackers Australia will be deducted from the refund amount
  • Return shipping to GPS Trackers Australia is at the buyer’s expense — we recommend using a tracked and insured service as we are not responsible for items lost or damaged in transit

GPS Trackers Australia does not accept change of mind returns where the product has been installed, powered on, connected to a vehicle, or where any configuration has been applied. The Complete Remote Fleet Kit is a professional installation product and once the installation process has commenced it cannot be resold as new.

To request a change of mind return, email admin@gpstrackersaustralia.au within 7 days of delivery with your order number and reason for return. We will respond within 2 business days with a Return Authorisation Number (RAN) and return instructions if your request is approved.

3. Faulty Products

Pre-shipment testing and installation responsibility:

All hardware is tested and certified as fully functional before dispatch. If a product appears to malfunction after delivery, the first step is to contact our technical support team. In the majority of cases, issues are related to installation and can be resolved remotely without the need to return the product.

If our technical support team is unable to resolve the issue and determines that the product has a genuine manufacturing defect or hardware fault — not attributable to installation error, misuse, physical damage, or incompatible vehicle configuration — we will offer a resolution.

Minor failures:

For minor failures — issues that can be remedied within a reasonable time — GPS Trackers Australia will at our election repair the hardware, replace the faulty component, or provide a refund.

Major failures:

For major failures — where the product would not have been purchased had the defect been known, is substantially unfit for purpose, or is unsafe — you may choose a full refund or replacement. In such cases GPS Trackers Australia will cover return shipping costs.

What is not covered under warranty:

  • Damage caused by incorrect installation, including damage to wiring harnesses, connectors or the device resulting from improper connection
  • Damage caused by connecting the device to incorrect voltage or incompatible vehicle electrical systems
  • Physical damage including cracks, water ingress, or damage from impact
  • Faults arising from misuse, neglect or use outside the product specifications
  • Issues caused by third-party software, configurations or modifications
  • Normal wear and tear

GPS Trackers Australia provides installation guidance documentation with every kit. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow the installation instructions and engage a qualified auto-electrician for installation. Warranty claims will not be accepted where the fault is attributable to incorrect installation.

4. Hardware Warranty

All hardware included in the Complete Remote Fleet Kit is covered by a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of delivery.

To make a warranty claim, contact admin@gpstrackersaustralia.au with your order number, a description of the fault and photographs or video of the issue where possible. Our technical support team will assess your claim and advise next steps within 2 business days.

5. Monthly Subscription — Cancellation Policy

The CVMS monthly subscription service ($120.00 per month plus GST) provides ongoing fleet connectivity and monitoring. The following cancellation terms apply:

  • You may cancel your monthly subscription at any time by contacting us at admin@gpstrackersaustralia.au or by calling 02 8764 0753
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you will continue to have access to the service until the period ends
  • No refund is provided for the unused days of a billing period already paid, except where the service has failed to meet a consumer guarantee
  • Monthly subscription fees are not refunded on the basis of change of mind

6. How to Make a Return or Warranty Claim

Step 1 — Contact technical support first (mandatory):

All return and warranty claims must be preceded by a technical support consultation. Call 02 8764 0753 or email admin@gpstrackersaustralia.au. Our team will attempt to diagnose and resolve the issue remotely.

Step 2 — Request a Return Authorisation Number (RAN):

If technical support cannot resolve the issue and a return is appropriate, we will issue a Return Authorisation Number (RAN). Returns received without a valid RAN will not be accepted and will be returned to the sender at their expense.

Step 3 — Return of the product:

Pack the product securely in its original packaging where required (change of mind returns). Include your proof of purchase, a written description of the fault, and your RAN clearly marked on the outside of the package. We recommend using a tracked and insured postal service.

Step 4 — Assessment and remedy:

On receipt of the returned product, our team will assess the hardware within 5 business days and advise of the outcome. Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.
