Refund Policy
Last Updated: February 14, 2026
At Luna Grace Candle Co, we are committed to providing you with high-quality handcrafted candles. We understand that sometimes issues may arise, and we're here to help. This policy outlines our approach to returns, refunds, and exchanges in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.
Your Rights Under Australian Consumer Law
Under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you have guaranteed consumer rights that cannot be excluded. These rights include:
- Products must be of acceptable quality – They must be safe, lasting, with no faults, and look acceptable.
- Products must be fit for purpose – They must do what they are designed to do and what you asked for.
- Products must match descriptions – They must match any sample or demonstration model shown to you, and match descriptions in advertising or on packaging.
If our products fail to meet these guarantees, you are entitled to a remedy, which may include a repair, replacement, or refund.
Change of Mind Returns
Important: Due to the handmade and consumable nature of our candles, we are unable to accept returns or provide refunds for change of mind purchases.
This includes situations where:
- You have changed your mind about the scent or style
- You ordered the wrong product
- You no longer want the item
- You found a similar product at a lower price elsewhere
We encourage you to carefully review product descriptions, scent profiles, and images before placing your order. If you have any questions about our products, please contact us at lunagracecandleco@outlook.com before purchasing.
Damaged or Faulty Products
We take great care in packaging your candles to ensure they arrive safely. However, if your product arrives damaged, defective, or faulty, we will gladly provide a remedy in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.
What Qualifies as Damaged or Faulty?
- Candles that arrive broken, cracked, or shattered
- Products with manufacturing defects (e.g., tunneling, poor wax quality, faulty wick)
- Candles that do not burn properly despite following care instructions
- Items that are significantly different from what was advertised
- Products that pose a safety risk
