About our policy
At NCE Pty Ltd (NCE) we want our customers to be completely satisfied with their purchase. We therefore recommend that you read and become familiar with our Repair, Return and Refund Policy and our NCE General Terms and Conditions of Trade.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
This document can be found here.
Warranty Conditions
NCE offers the following warranty in relation to its goods.
The benefits of this warranty are in addition to any rights and remedies imposed by Australian State and Federal legislation that cannot be excluded. Nothing in this warranty is to be interpreted as excluding, restricting or modifying any State or Federal legislation applicable to the supply of goods and services which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified.
NCE warrants to the original purchaser that, subject to the exclusions and limitations below, all parts of the manufacture and assembly of the goods carried out by NCE will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase (Warranty Period).
This warranty is not transferable to a subsequent customer if the goods are sold by the original customer during the Warranty Period.
If a defect appears in NCE's manufacture or assembly of the goods before the end of the Warranty Period and NCE finds the goods to be defective in materials or workmanship, NCE will, in its sole discretion, either repair or replace the goods or the defective part of the goods free of charge, or provide a credit or exchange.
NCE reserves the right to replace defective parts of the goods with parts and components of similar quality, grade and composition where an identical part or component is not available. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
Where your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or this warranty do not apply, we may provide you with an indicative cost estimate to repair the goods.
Change of mind
Please choose carefully as credits and returns are not provided where you have simply changed your mind or made a wrong selection. We recommend that you carefully review any orders before proceeding. Goods can not be accepted for return unless agreed in writing by NCE and a restocking charge of 25% may apply.
Damaged goods
NCE recommends that you immediately inspect any goods that we deliver or that you collect from any of our warehouses to ensure you are completely satisfied with the goods, including that the goods are of acceptable quality, and match the description we have provided to you.
If any goods arrive damaged, please contact your NCE Account Manager as soon as possible so a Return Authority Number can be arranged for the goods to be inspected. Goods must be returned within a reasonable time. The acceptance of the goods delivered shall be deemed for all purposes to have taken place 30 days* from the date of delivery.
If a purchaser receives a product that is damaged in transit from NCE, the purchaser should:
• Refuse to accept delivery of the product;
• Direct the courier to "Return goods to sender"; and
• Notify the NCE Customer Service or Warranty Department immediately.
NCE will not accept warranty claims on items delivered to the requested destination and inspected at time of delivery by the purchaser that are subsequently deemed to be damage in transit, after 7 days of delivery from the delivery date.
Your Account Manager may take the following steps in order to determine the best way to proceed:
• Visit you on site to inspect the goods within 5 working days* from your initial contact with NCE; or
• Where your location prevents an immediate on-site visit, we may ask you to email photos documenting the damage to your Account Manager.
Your Account Manager will require the following information to ensure your claim is resolved as quickly as possible:
• Original invoice number
• Description of damage or repair required
• Photos of damage or repair required
• Chassis number
• Make, model or part number
• Caravan build date
No goods will be accepted for return until a Return of Goods Authority Number has been supplied to you. Goods must be returned in the condition received by you with all original packaging, accessories and/ or manuals.
Returns and repairs
Goods returned for repair or credit will be assessed and repaired or replaced within a reasonable time. Credits will normally be processed within 14 days* of your goods being returned to NCE’s nominated warehouse. Where goods have been assessed to be repairable under the manufacturers’ warranty, you may be supplied with details of an authorised repairer. You may also be provided with an indicative repair and/ or replacement time, which may vary due to reasons beyond our control, or the repairer’s reasonable control, such as part availability and incorrect fault description. NCE does not take any responsibility for any repairs and/ or replacements carried out without our prior written consent.
Where goods are assessed to have been damaged by misuse or accident, no credit will be issued and no further action will be entered into. Where your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or any manufacturer’s warranty do not apply, we may provide you with an indicative cost estimate to repair the goods.
NCE will endeavor to locate a service agent within a reasonable and acceptable distance to the caravan’s location (within 50kms). If this is not possible, the claimant/owners travel plans and next ‘major’ town or city location will be required.
If a replacement item is required, NCE will require the location of the caravan and owners for the next 14 days to allow for pick, pack and postage. If the owners are traveling, NCE require next major town or city location. Otherwise, the warranty procedure as in place at present will remain.
Replacement item warranty
Should a replacement item be supplied by NCE ‘under warranty’ due to damage or product failure of original item purchased, NCE will warrant the replacement item for the remaining warranty period only of the original item warranty.
Warranty Claims
1. If a fault covered by warranty occurs, the customer must first contact the NCE Customer Service or Warranty Department.

5. Goods returned for repair or credit will be assessed and repaired or replaced within a reasonable time.
6. Credits will normally be processed within 14 days* of your goods being returned to NCE’s nominated warehouse.

Any modification, alteration or variation of any goods by the Customer requires the prior written approval in writing from the Supplier otherwise any applicable warranty is rendered immediately void and the Customer will have no claim against the Supplier under any applicable warranty.
(b) Without limiting or restricting any statutory or implied warranties or consumer guarantees that may apply to goods and/or services sold under any Order where the Order includes used or second hand goods the Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the goods are acquired on an "as is" basis and whilst fit for the purpose for which the goods are intended to be commonly used, are not free from the specified defects which the Supplier has notified to the Customer prior to accepting the Order; (ii) the goods have been inspected by the Customer prior to placing the Order and have been determined by the Customer as being fit for their intended purpose; and (iii) the Customer has not disclosed to the Supplier any other purpose for which the goods are intended to be used.
Clerical Errors
Clerical errors, typing errors or other errors in computations, catalogue, quotation, acceptance, offer, invoice, delivery docket, credit note or specification of the Supplier shall be subject to correction by the Supplier.
Modification
All modifications and amendments to these provisions or any approvals hereunder shall be in writing by a duly authorised signatory, and if otherwise, shall not be binding upon the Supplier.
GST
(a) For the purpose of this clause:
GST means GST within the meaning of the GST Act.
GST Act means A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act (Cth) 1999 (as amended).
Except where the contrary intention appears, expressions used in this condition and in the GST Act have the meanings given to them in the GST Act.
(b) If the introduction of GST is associated with the abolition or reduction of any tax, duty, excise or statutory charge which directly or indirectly affects the net dollar margin of a supplier in respect of any supply made under this document, the consideration (excluding GST) payable for the supply must be varied so that the Supplier's net dollar margin in respect of the supply remains the same.
(c) Except as provided in Clause 13(b) and where express provision is made to the contrary, the consideration payable by a party under this document represents the value of the supply for which payment is to be made.
(d) If this document requires a party to pay for, reimburse or indemnify against any expense or liability ("reimbursable expense") incurred by the other party ("payee") to a third party, the amount to be paid, reimbursed or indemnified is the amount of the reimbursable expense net of any input tax credit to which the payee is entitled in respect of the reimbursable expense ("net expense").
(e) Subject to Clause 13(f), if a party makes a taxable supply under this document for a consideration which represents its value by virtue of Clause 13(c) or the net expense by virtue of Clause 13(d), then the party liable to pay for the taxable supply must also pay the amount of any GST payable in respect of the taxable supply at the time the consideration for the taxable supply is payable.
(f) A party is not obliged under Clause 13(e) to pay the GST on a taxable supply to it, until that party is given a valid tax invoice for the supply.
(g) If the amount of GST paid or payable by the Supplier on any supply made under this document differs from the amount paid by the Supplier as GST, due to an adjustment of the value of the taxable supply for the purpose of calculating GST, then the amount paid as GST by the Customer must be adjusted by a payment by the Customer to the Supplier or by the Supplier to the recipient, as the case requires, so that the amount paid by the recipient as GST accurately represents the GST payable in respect of the supply.
