This refund policy applies to all products purchased from Artka Wheel Australia, with specific provisions for custom-made wheels. It aligns with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) while considering the unique nature of custom-manufactured products. Please read carefully to understand your rights and responsibilities.
Custom-Made Products
Nature of Customisation
All our wheels are custom-made based on your specifications, including (but not limited to) size, colour, design, and materials. Due to this:
- Custom-made items cannot be resold.
- Refunds or returns are not accepted for change-of-mind or personal preferences once the order is confirmed.
Order Confirmation
- Once an order is confirmed and payment is received, it is considered final and cannot be cancelled or modified.
- Customers are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all provided information (e.g. dimensions, specs, design inputs). Artka Wheel Australia will confirm these details in writing before production begins.
- Customers are solely responsible for ensuring that the ordered products comply with relevant regulations, standards, or laws in their location.
No Returns After Tyre Mounting
Artka Wheel Australia does not accept returns or refunds once wheels have been mounted with tyres - unless a major defect or issue is identified in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.
We strongly advise customers to inspect the wheels upon delivery to confirm they match the order specifications before fitting tyres.
