Online store questions

Can I just buy one contract and photocopy it?
{{ propApi.expandedIcon }} {{ propApi.collapsedIcon }}

Unfortunately not. Doing so is a breach of intellectual property. 

Can I purchase contracts directly from a HIA office?
{{ propApi.expandedIcon }} {{ propApi.collapsedIcon }}

Yes, but it's possible that not all contracts are available in all locations.

Creating your contracts using our Contracts Online tool or making a purchase online are the most convenient.

What is HIA's refund policy?
{{ propApi.expandedIcon }} {{ propApi.collapsedIcon }}

All claims for refund or exchange must be made within 14 days of receipt of the item. 

We will refund using your original payment method. If you are returning or exchanging a faulty, damaged or incorrect item we will pay for the packaging and postage costs (not exceeding the original cost of postage by HIA to you). Items purchased online may be returned or posted to the nearest HIA office.

Please retain proof of purchase and provide a copy with any returned item. HIA will not normally offer a refund or exchange if you simply change your mind.
