Refund policy

At Lighthouse Lane we hope you love your purchase as much as we do. However, we understand that shopping online means that you can’t touch and feel the lights you are buying, and sometimes what you receive may be different to what you expected.

Our light shades are made by hand from natural materials. There will be slight variations in colour, texture and size. This is what makes your light unique. This is what makes your light unique. These variations are not considered to be faults or defects. While we endeavour to represent all products as accurately as possible, there may be variations from the picture online to the item in real life. Please contact us at anna@lighthouselane.com.au if you have any questions on a particular product prior to purchase.

Change your mind?

If you change your mind about your purchase, we are happy to offer you an exchange, store credit or refund less all shipping costs within 30 days. You are responsible for the full cost of return shipping for a change of mind return, irrespective of any free, flat rate, discounted or any other type of shipping promotion that may have been applicable at the time of your order. 

All you need to do is:

  • Email anna@lighthouselane.com.au & advise that you would like to return your light, within 30 days of receiving it;
  • Provide proof of purchase;
  • Send the light back to Lighthouse Lane in its’ original packaging and in an unused condition within 30 days of receiving it. Please take special care when packing the light to return it, as Lighthouse Lane will not accept your return if we consider the light is used, or has been damaged, broken or lost during transit. You must pay all costs associated with returning the light shade.

Please note that returned goods are your responsibility until it reaches us, so we recommend transit insurance and shipping with signature on delivery. Your return will not be processed until we have received the light shade back.

Once we have received the light shade, we will send an email to you to let you know that we received it. Please allow up to 5 days for your return to be processed. Your return will be processed less original shipping costs, and will be credited back via the original payment method.

Change of mind returns are not accepted for light shades purchased on sale. Please choose carefully as all sale purchases are final.

Damaged or Faulty Item?

We take great care in packing your goods safely. In the unfortunate event that your lights are damaged in transit, we are happy to offer you an exchange, store credit, or repair if it is possible. 

If the product you purchase has a major fault, we may offer you a refund, exchange or store credit. If there is a minor problem with your goods as defined in the Australian Consumer Law, we may repair the goods instead of offering you a replacement of refund.

All you need to do is:

  • Let us know via anna@lighthouselane.com.au that your light has arrived damaged or has a major fault within 24 hours of receiving it, Attach photos that show the whole light shade and also clear images of the damage and the packaging. If the products are deemed to have been damaged in transit, we will either arrange to repair or replace it. If we deem your light to be partially damaged, but still useable, we may offer a partial refund.

If your light shade is damaged or faulty, you may have rights under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), which forms Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. Nothing in these terms excludes any right, guarantee or warranty you’re entitled to by law, however we do exclude all other guarantees, conditions and warranties to the maximum extent permitted by law. We also specifically exclude liability for negligence. 

Wherever possible, our liability for breach of any condition, warranty or guarantee is limited, at our option, to: 

  • replacement of the product;
  • repair of the product; 
  • payment of the cost of having the product repaired; or
  • such other fair and reasonable remedy as we are ready and willing to provide.

Lighthouse Lane is not liable for any consequential loss or damage or other direct or indirect loss or damage, except where we are unable to limit or exclude such loss under the ACL. If for any reason the ACL doesn’t apply to an order you place with us (for example, if you purchase the product for re-sale without our authorisation), then we exclude all liability to you and we’ll only refund an order placed if we can’t fill it, if we think it’s reasonable to do so, or otherwise as agreed in writing. 

To make an ACL-related claim, please contact us at anna@lighthouselane.com.au

Custom Orders

When placing a custom order, we require a 50% deposit upfront to initiate the production process. This deposit is non-refundable and secures your order in our queue.

The remaining balance is due within 7 days of being notified that your order has arrived in Australia and is ready to ship. Shipping fees are also payable with the balance. We will provide an estimated shipping cost at the time of order placement, but please note that this may be subject to change based on courier fees. The final shipping cost will be re-quoted when your order is ready to ship.

We understand that preferences can change, but unfortunately, we do not accept change of mind refunds for custom orders. Please ensure that you are committed to your choices before placing your order.

In the unfortunate event that your custom order arrives damaged or faulty, it will be considered under our general refund policy. We are committed to ensuring the quality of our products and will address such issues promptly.
