Refund Policy

Warranty and Returns

Juice Cartel provide high quality hardware, consumables and e-liquids/juices, sourced from reputable suppliers.  All hardware that Juice Cartel sell are authentic and are not clones. All of the products that we sell are brand new, not second hand or used.

Juice Cartel adheres to the guidelines set out by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) for Refunds, Replacements and Warranty Returns. For more information please visit https://www.accc.gov.au/

We offer a replacement service for items that are deemed faulty due to a manufacturing fault (see below) however we do not offer refunds for change of mind, or because you do not like the product you have purchased.

We are happy to walk you through troubleshooting steps however if an item is sent back or bought back to us without following these then you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item back to you if the item is not found to have a genuine fault.

Different devices work in different ways and it is up to you to decide what device will be the best for your style of vaping before making a purchase as all sales are final.
