Terms and Conditions of Sale
Our terms.
1) Customer Acknowledgment.
The Customer acknowledges agreement with these Terms and Conditions of Sale by the placement of an order to purchase a product or acquire services from JCR Computers. JCR Computers is the trading name of JCR IT Services Pty Ltd. This contract of sale is between the entity named on the invoice (the “Customer”) and JCR Computers.
All goods are supplied on these terms and conditions only and no person in the employment or otherwise as agent for JCR Computers has any authority to supply goods on any other terms and conditions or to vary these terms and conditions in any way whatsoever.

2) Return or Exchange of Goods.
JCR Computers may, at its discretion, refund or credit goods returned within a reasonable timeframe (generally 7 days), provided the goods are in original condition, unopened packaging, current version, and not classified as special-order items, hardware, peripherals, or clearance products. Otherwise, we will make our best effort to arrange exchange with the manufacturer or accept the goods back for resale. In this case, if the return is authorised by JCR Computers, a restocking fee of up to 25% may apply.
Please note that where the plastic seal of a software package is broken the return or exchange cannot be accepted due to copyright and licensing restrictions unless faulty or defective. In this case we will help the Customer obtain a working copy from the supplier.
Return or exchange of computer hardware and peripherals is sometimes not possible due to third party constraints on JCR Computers (unless faulty). Unless agreed otherwise prior to purchasing, all sales shall be considered firm sales.
