Returns & Refunds Policy
Our 60-Day Promise
We want you to love every Vital Origin product. If you don't, we'll refund you in full within 60 nights of delivery — and you don't need to return the product to claim it. Keep the jar, the box, the lot. Just email us at support@vitalorigin.com.au with your order number and let us know it wasn't right for you.
How it works:
- Available on orders placed directly through vitalorigin.com.au and delivered to an address in Australia or New Zealand.
- Available for 60 calendar days from the date your order is recorded as delivered to the address you provided at checkout.
- No need to return the product, and it doesn't matter whether it has been opened or used. Full refund of the price you paid, issued to your original payment method.
- Refund processed within 5 business days of your request, subject to verification of the order details.
- Subscription orders: each delivery starts its own 60-day window.
- Orders delivered outside Australia and New Zealand: this 60-Day Promise doesn't apply. See International Orders below.
- Wholesale orders: this 60-Day Promise doesn't apply — wholesale orders are governed by the Vital Origin Wholesale Terms & Conditions.
Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are in addition to this Promise. Australian Consumer Law gives you guaranteed rights for major and minor faults that cannot be limited by any policy — including the right to choose a refund or replacement on a major fault, regardless of any time limit. Those rights apply in addition to this 60-Day Promise. See the Australian Consumer Law section below for the full statement.
Three return situations — your rights
Australian Consumer Law gives you guaranteed rights that we cannot take away. The table below shows what applies in each situation:
| Situation | What you can do | Time limit | Condition of product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major fault — the product is unsafe, significantly different from how we described it, doesn't do what it's supposed to do, or you would not have bought it had you known the issue | Choose a refund or a replacement, plus compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss caused by the fault | No specific time limit (must be a reasonable time after delivery) | No condition restriction — you can return a part-used product if it has a major fault |
| Minor fault — the product is defective in a way that can be repaired or replaced | We will repair, replace, or refund — our choice | A reasonable time after delivery | We may need to inspect the product |
| Change of mind — you've decided you don't want the product after all | Use our 60-Day Promise (see top of page) — full refund, no return needed. Australian and New Zealand delivery addresses only | 60 nights from delivery | No condition restriction |
For all returns, please contact us first at support@vitalorigin.com.au with your order number — we will tell you the return address and confirm the next step.
Your rights for major faults under Australian Consumer Law (and under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, for NZ customers) apply regardless of any other condition stated in this policy.
Damages and Defects
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
We will provide a replacement free of charge for any damages or issues with the product upon request. You must provide a picture for evidence of damages or defects.
Exceptions / Non-returnable Items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as food, flowers, or plants), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products). We also do not accept returns for hazardous materials, flammable liquids, or gases. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.
Items that have been partly used or damaged/defective from improper use or storage will not be refundable as returns. This does not limit our 60-Day Promise.
Gift cards cannot be returned. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law for major failures still apply to all items, including sale items.
Subscription Orders
Subscriptions are available on Australian and New Zealand delivery addresses. They are managed through your account portal at vitalorigin.com.au/account. You can:
- Skip an upcoming order
- Pause your subscription
- Change your delivery frequency
- Cancel at any time before your next billing date
- Update your shipping address or payment details
For subscription-related queries, contact us at support@vitalorigin.com.au.
Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
Australian Orders
Free shipping applies to Australian delivery addresses on orders over $80. Standard and Express delivery options are available at checkout on Australian delivery addresses.
International Orders
The destinations we ship to are shown at checkout. If your country appears there, we can ship to you.
For all orders shipped outside Australia:
- Customs duties, import taxes and handling charges levied by the destination country are the customer's responsibility and are not included in the checkout price
- Return shipping is at the customer's expense
- Change-of-mind returns and our 60-Day Promise are not available for orders delivered outside Australia and New Zealand
- Delivery estimates do not include time held in customs
- Orders may be inspected, detained, refused entry or destroyed by the destination country's authorities. Where that happens, the Detention, Seizure or Refusal of Entry section of our Shipping Policy applies, and the remedy set out there is the only one available
New Zealand Orders
Delivery typically takes 7–14 business days from dispatch. Any customs duties, GST, or other charges levied by New Zealand authorities are the customer's responsibility.
Your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are not affected by this policy. For major failures, you are entitled to a refund or replacement regardless of return window or condition.
United States — Product and Regulatory Information
Please read this before placing an order for delivery to the United States.
Vital Origin products are made in Australia from Australian grass-fed beef. They are produced and regulated as foods under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, and they are not registered therapeutic goods in Australia.
They have not been evaluated or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Information on this website is general and educational. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional. Individual nutritional needs vary. Always read the label, follow the directions for use, and check the Nutrition Information Panel for serving size and intake guidance.
If you are pregnant or nursing, under 18, have a diagnosed medical condition, or take prescription medication, consult a qualified healthcare professional before adding any new food or supplement to your diet.
Customer reviews and testimonials describe individual experiences and are not typical results. We do not guarantee any specific outcome.
Importing into the United States. When you order for delivery to the United States, you are the importer of the goods. You are responsible for ensuring the goods may lawfully be imported into and possessed in your state. We make no representation that the goods meet United States import, labelling, or registration requirements, and we cannot guarantee that any order will be granted entry. Orders may be inspected, detained, refused entry, or destroyed by United States Customs and Border Protection, the Food and Drug Administration, or the United States Department of Agriculture. Where that happens, the Detention, Seizure or Refusal of Entry section of our Shipping Policy applies.
Lost in Transit / Delivery Issues
If your order hasn't arrived by the expected delivery date, please allow one additional business day before contacting us, as parcels occasionally experience minor delays in transit.
If your order is confirmed lost by the carrier, we will send a replacement or issue a full refund at no cost to you. If a parcel is returned to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided at checkout, re-shipping costs will be at the customer's expense.
This section covers parcels lost or damaged by the carrier. It does not cover goods detained, seized, destroyed or refused entry by a government authority in the destination country — see the Detention, Seizure or Refusal of Entry section of our Shipping Policy.
Refunds
We will notify you once we've received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you'll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 3–5 business days. Please allow up to 10 business days for the funds to appear, depending on your bank or credit card company.
If more than 15 business days have passed since we've approved your return, please contact us at support@vitalorigin.com.au.
Australian Consumer Law
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer rights or remedies under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be lawfully excluded, restricted or modified by agreement. Where the Australian Consumer Law applies, our liability for the failure of any goods is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
