Medical alert products should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, fading, damage, or reduced readability. Products that are no longer clearly legible or fit for their intended purpose should be replaced.

Father Daughter Designs Returns and Refunds Information
At Father Daughter Designs, our dedication to exceptional customer service is the foundation of our business. If you encounter any issues with your order, we encourage you to contact us as soon as reasonably possible so we can assist promptly.
Nothing in this policy limits, excludes, or modifies any rights or remedies available under the Australian Consumer Law.
We cannot provide a refund or exchange if a mistake results from customer-provided spelling or grammatical errors. Therefore, please double-check all details, including names and dates.
Our packaging process is highly refined to minimize breakages. However, in the rare event that an item arrives damaged, please send a photo of the damage (including personalisation) as soon as possible so we can assist promptly. This allows us to support your claim for compensation or a replacement. Sometimes, Australia Post may require additional images or an in-person visit with the original packaging.
Due to the personalised nature of most products, we are unable to offer refunds after production begins unless the error is on our part.
Returns on non-personalised products for change-of-mind will incur a 20% administration fee, covering processing costs, restocking, and handling. For technical errors (e.g., multiple orders for the same item), this fee applies if we are unable to replicate the issue. If external troubleshooting is needed, we will discuss any costs with you beforehand.
If the artwork you provide is unsuitable (e.g., low-quality logo), we will work with you to make it usable at minimal cost. If this is not possible, a refund will be issued minus the 20% administration fee. For order cancellations, graphic design fees cannot be refunded, but item costs will be.
In cases involving a fault or defect, Father Daughter Designs may request that the item be returned for assessment, repair, replacement, or refund in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law. Where the product is confirmed to be faulty, reasonable return shipping costs will be covered or reimbursed by us. If you choose an alternative courier or there is no fault found, shipping will be at your expense.
Personalised products are generally not eligible for return, refund, or exchange for change of mind because they are made specifically to the customer's requirements and cannot ordinarily be resold.
This does not affect any rights or remedies available under the Australian Consumer Law where a product is faulty, not fit for purpose, or not as described.
