I had recently brought Norton 360 Platinum, I had spent hours trying to get a password file up to their password manager with no luck, I had finally found a way to get in contsct with them they charged me a $5.99 fee for so called tech support, to be told that no one can upload a password file at the moment and they have been working on it for over a month to fix this issue. It took over my computers, drains my battery on my phone and android tablet. Trying to get a full refund within the 30/60 day trial period, its been a nightmare. To be told by Harvey Normans I have to go through Nortonâs to get the refund, again with them neglecting on their duties, as I had purchases it from them and I was told by norton I have to go back to Harvey Normans to get the refund. At least you can find a number to easy call Bitdefender you do not have to go through all these hoops to find a number like Nortonâs and their products actually work and do not take over eveything. I have put my bit defender total security back on to my android tablet and mobile abd my main computer so far, and pushing for a full refund of $440 from harvey normans
HN franchisees have a spotty history of stepping up to their responsibilities under the ACL.
I suggest your write a formal Letter of Complaint (advice on how available on the Community, from Choice, and from the ACCC web sites) citing your rights, claims about the product, your experience with the product, your claims supporting your assertion the product is faulty because [âŠ] and thus not fit for purpose, and that you require a refund with a date for response. Give it to the store manager and if possible include their name and the name of the franchisee in the salutation. Keep in mind you are dealing with the specific store not a company called âHarvey Normanâ.

Let us know how it goes.
For subscriptions, it is important to ascertain who is responsible for the refund.
The Norton website suggests that they might be responsible for refunds for cancelled subscriptionsâŠ
It states it can be done online:
If you purchased a Norton product from an au shop and wish to make a refund, you can apply for a refund online. Norton has a money-back guarantee within 60days of purchasing your annual product.
It also says:
The following information is required for application, so please have it ready in advance.
- Receipt at the time of purchase
- The registration number printed on the package
The package will be that you purchased as online subscriptions through NortonLock will be downloadables. Hopefully you still have the package otherwise a refund may be denied. The can deny a refund as it fits into a Change of Mind, which sits outside the Australian Consumer Law.
Also check any documentation which came with the the subscription purchase (in the package) to see if this also sheds any light.
I would go back to NortonLock with the above information if you canât instigate a refund online before the 60 days is up.
Harvey Norman may be unable to refund a subscription service as they wonât know if it has been activated nor control its deactivation if it has. HN change of mind policy would also apply, not that of NortonLock. It is highly likely HN change of mind policy does not allow refunds for software/subscription which packaging has been opened or activated. This removes HN ability to refund under their change of mind policy.
Let us know how you get on with trying to apply for a refund online with NortonLock. The link to the refund site is in the above link.
No packaging as I brought over the phone and product codes were sent via sms
If that is the case, HN online change of mind policy applies, namely:
Please choose carefully as refunds are not normally provided where you have simply changed your mind, made a wrong selection or simply found the goods cheaper elsewhere
The only chance you have for a refund is for NortonLock to honour their own policy.
Norton told me that I have to go back to Harvey Norman for the full refund
Read the link I provided in an earlier post.
You should be able to claim a refund through NortonLock online. The link to their online refund site is also in the above link.
NortonLock will be responsible for upholding their Change of Mind Policy (during the trial period), which is the 60 day money back guarantee. They are the ones making this offering to consumers buying their products, not Harvey Noman.
