At Ecotech, we take pride in testing, refurbishing, and servicing technology to extend its lifespan. This policy outlines your options and rights for product purchases and technical services made through ecotechshop.co.nz.
1. Our Guarantee & Consumer Rights
Because we specialize in refurbished, pre-owned, and serviced hardware, every item we sell is thoroughly inspected prior to dispatch.
Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA): Nothing in this policy limits your rights under the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Products supplied to retail consumers must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and match their description, taking into account the age, condition, and price of the item.
Direct Support: All warranty claims, returns, and technical queries are handled directly by the Ecotech team.
For further information about your consumer rights, visit the New Zealand Consumer Protection website.
2. Faulty or Misdescribed Items
If an item does not meet the guarantees required under the Consumer Guarantees Act, please contact us as soon as possible.
Depending on the circumstances and seriousness of the problem, we may provide an appropriate remedy, which can include a repair, replacement, refund, or other remedy required by law.
For used goods, reasonable wear and tear and characteristics that were clearly disclosed before purchase will be taken into account when assessing whether the item meets the required guarantees.
An item may not qualify for a remedy where the issue was clearly disclosed to you before purchase, or where the problem was caused by misuse, accidental damage, unauthorised modification, or failure to follow reasonable care or usage instructions.
3. Incorrect or Damaged Items
If you receive an item that is materially different from its description, you receive the wrong item, or the item arrives damaged, please contact us promptly with your order details and photographs where appropriate.
We will work with you to resolve the issue in accordance with your rights under New Zealand consumer law.

5. Returning goods: Step-by-step process
Upon receipt of the product, our team will inspect the product but this does not automatically guarantee a refund or replacement until verified by our technicians.
STEP 1: Submit a request
Contact us at admin@ecotechshop.co.nz or (03)3770773.
Please provide:
Your item number or proof of purchase, a description of the issue, photographs or other relevant information where appropriate.
STEP 2: Package the item
Securely pack the item, ensuring all included accessories, power cables, and bundled items are returned.
STEP 3: Assessment
Upon receipt of the product, our team will inspect the product but this does not automatically guarantee a refund or replacement until verified by our technicians.
6. Refunds and restocking fees
If you decide you do not want the item you have purchased, you may return it within 30 days to get a full refund. This does not include postal fees.
Items that have been damaged or broken after purchase cannot be returned.
For items that are returned after 30 days, there is a restocking fee of 10 percent of the amount you paid for the item.
7. Return Shipping Responsibilities
Warranty claims: If an item is faulty or was incorrectly supplied under Consumer Guarantees Act coverage, Ecotech will cover or reimburse reasonable return freight costs.
Standard returns: Customers are responsible for freight costs when returning items for change-of-mind exchanges or non-Consumer Guarantees Act assessments. We recommend using a tracked courier service.
