The thing (product) that you bought must be the same as the thing on the website. It must be the same as the photo on the website. Call NT Consumer Affairs on 1800 019 319.
If you just changed your mind, you cannot get your money back. You can get your money back if the thing is not the same as the ad.

| advertising | Also called ‘ads’ for short. Ads are on TV, the radio, and billboards, or in newspapers, catalogues, and magazines. Sellers pay for ads. Ads tell you things about what they are selling: a product (thing) or service. A seller makes an ad so that people will buy the thing they are selling. |
| consumer guarantees | The law says that you have rights when you buy things. If the thing doesn’t work or do what it is supposed to, you can get it repaired (fixed), replaced (changed for a new one the same) or refunded (your money back). |
| private seller | Someone who sells things, but not as part of a business. For example, someone who is selling their car on Gumtree or Carsales who doesn’t work as a car seller. |
