2. Clearance, Sale and Discounted Products
Party Central Outlet specialises in clearance, discontinued, seasonal and discounted party merchandise.
We do not offer change-of-mind returns, refunds or exchanges on clearance, sale or discounted products.
Please choose carefully before purchasing these items.

If a purchased item is unavailable, Party Central Outlet reserves the right to cancel and refund the unavailable item.
We will notify the customer as soon as reasonably practicable and refund the purchase price of the unavailable item, including any applicable delivery charge attributable to that item.
Where an order contains multiple products, available items may still be supplied.
We will not substitute an unavailable product without customer approval.

We comply with the Australian Consumer Law.

Include your order number, a description of the issue and photographs where available.
Depending on the circumstances, customers may be entitled to a repair, replacement, refund or other remedy under Australian Consumer Law.
For major failures, customers may be entitled to choose a refund or replacement.
For minor failures, we may be entitled to provide a remedy within a reasonable time.
We will cover reasonable return costs where required by law.
These rights apply to all eligible products, including clearance and sale items.
