6.2. Delivery Times: The Product order will be processed and dispatched within four (4) business days following the receipt of the order by Ceva. In order for Ceva to meet these deadlines, the Customer must ensure that he/she has provided accurate and complete information concerning the delivery address.

7. RETURNS POLICY

It is important to Ceva that its customers are satisfied with their online purchases. If the Customer is not completely satisfied with a Product ordered from the Site, the Customer may obtain an exchange or refund in accordance with the Change of Mind Returns Policy and Refund Policy below.

The Customer also has a right under the Australian Consumer Law (“ACL”) and nothing in these GTC will limit or affect the Customer’s rights as a consumer under the ACL, for example to obtain a remedy because the Product does not meet the acceptable quality guarantee under the ACL.

7.1. Change of Mind Returns Policy: If the Customer has changed his/her mind about a Product purchased from the Site, the Customer can return that Product to Ceva within 30 days of purchase and Ceva will refund the original purchase price of that Product provided the Product is returned in its original condition and packaging and is re-saleable.

The Customer can return a Product by sending a return request to Ceva's customer service department by filling out the online form at the following address (address to be confirmed). The Product must be returned in its original condition and packaging with the tax invoice received by the Customer with the online order (or another proof of purchase acceptable to Ceva).

If the refund is accepted, Ceva undertakes to refund the Customer the full price of the Product within fourteen (14) days of receiving the Products back. Refunds for orders paid by debit or credit card will be made via the debit or credit card used for payment via the Stripe interface or via Apple Pay, at no cost to the Customer.

The return of a Product by a Customer who has subscribed to a Recurrent Order shall constitute the cancellation of the Customer's Recurrent Order and Recurring Product(s).

7.2. Refund Policy: The Change of Mind Returns Policy does not affect the Customer’s rights under the Australian Consumer Law. The Customer has consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be limited by Ceva. If the Product ordered is not of acceptable quality, is not fit for its purpose or is different from its description or sample, then the Customer may be eligible for a refund, exchange or any drop in value of the Product (if the Customer chooses to keep it).

If the Customer has purchased a Product with a major fault, the Customer has the right to ask for their choice of a replacement or refund. If the Customer has purchased a Product with a minor fault, Ceva can choose to give the Customer repair, replace or refund the Customer for the Product.

Products returned on the basis that they meet consumer guarantees can be returned within a reasonable timeframe subject to proof of purchase.
