ARMOUR PLAYERS GRADE – UNLIMITED POWER. UNSTOPPABLE INNOVATION.

Introducing the ARMOUR Players Grade English Willow Cricket Bat – AB de Villiers Profile, an exceptional high-performance cricket bat engineered for explosive stroke play, extraordinary bat speed, outstanding versatility, and maximum hitting power.

Manufactured using ultra-premium, hand-selected Players Grade English Willow from ARMOUR's exclusive top 0.001% willow selection standard, this bat represents the highest level of willow quality within the ARMOUR collection.

Each blade is selected for its outstanding grain structure, exceptional natural responsiveness, explosive rebound characteristics, and elite performance potential.

EXPLOSIVE PING – UNLEASH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

The ARMOUR Players Grade AB de Villiers Profile is designed to deliver an exceptionally responsive hitting experience.

Its premium English willow construction provides outstanding rebound potential, allowing players to generate explosive power with impressive bat speed.

Whether executing powerful drives, aggressive pulls, innovative scoops, reverse sweeps, or unconventional 360-degree strokes, the bat is designed to respond with exceptional speed and precision.

The combination of elite willow quality and carefully distributed blade mass creates a powerful yet agile cricket bat suitable for modern attacking cricket.

PREMIUM DUCKBILL PROFILE – DESIGNED FOR 360° BATTING

Featuring a professionally engineered duckbill blade profile, the ARMOUR AB de Villiers Edition is designed to offer an outstanding combination of power, agility, and balance.

The duckbill toe construction helps optimise weight distribution and enhances pickup, allowing faster bat acceleration and greater freedom of movement.

A powerful mid-to-low sweet spot, thick edges, and a pronounced spine provide an impressive hitting area for both conventional and innovative stroke play.

This profile is particularly suited to aggressive batters who prefer quick hands, rapid bat speed, and the confidence to play shots all around the ground.

PREMIUM ROUND HANDLE – MAXIMUM FREEDOM & CONTROL

The ARMOUR AB de Villiers Profile features a premium round cane handle, designed to complement dynamic and innovative batting styles.

The round handle shape allows comfortable grip adjustments and greater freedom of wrist movement, making it particularly suitable for players who enjoy unconventional stroke play and rapid changes in bat angle.

Wiz Sports – Returns & Refund Policy

At Wiz Sports, we are committed to providing high-quality cricket equipment and excellent customer service. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we are here to help. Please review the following Returns & Refund Policy carefully.

1. 10-Day Returns, Change of Mind & Incorrect or Faulty Products

At Wiz Sports, we want our customers to shop with confidence. Please carefully review the following terms regarding change-of-mind returns, store credits, exchanges, damaged or incorrectly supplied products, and products that are excluded from our standard change-of-mind return policy.

These terms apply in addition to any rights and remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any rights that cannot legally be excluded.

1.1 Change of Mind – No Cash Refunds

Wiz Sports does not provide refunds for change-of-mind purchases.

A change of mind includes circumstances where:

• You no longer want or need the product.
• You do not like the product after receiving it.
• You have changed your preference regarding colour, model, design or other product characteristics.
• You have ordered the incorrect size or selected the wrong product.
• You have found the product cheaper elsewhere.
• You expected something different, but the product supplied is consistent with the description, specifications and images provided on our website.
• You simply decide that you would prefer not to keep the product.

However, as a customer service gesture, Wiz Sports may accept an eligible change-of-mind return within 10 days of delivery and issue store credit, subject to the conditions below.

1.2 10-Day Store Credit for Eligible Change-of-Mind Returns

If you change your mind about an eligible product, you must contact Wiz Sports within 10 days of receiving your order.

To qualify for store credit, the returned product must:

• Be completely unused and unworn.
• Be in its original condition.
• Have no damage, marks, dirt, odours, alterations or signs of use.
• Be returned with its original packaging.
• Have all original tags, labels, manuals, accessories and components attached or included.
• Be in a condition suitable for resale as a new product.
• Not fall within one of the excluded product categories outlined below.

Wiz Sports reserves the right to inspect all returned products before approving store credit.

If the returned product does not meet these requirements, we may decline the change-of-mind return.

1.3 Store Credit Amount & Shipping Costs

For an approved change-of-mind return, Wiz Sports will issue store credit rather than a cash refund.

The store credit will be based on the eligible amount paid for the returned product.

Original shipping and delivery costs are not included in change-of-mind store credit.

Where Wiz Sports incurred an actual shipping cost to send the original order, including where discounted or promotional shipping was offered to the customer, the applicable actual shipping cost may be deducted from the store credit where permitted.

The customer is also responsible for the cost of returning a change-of-mind product to Wiz Sports.

We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping service when returning products, as the customer remains responsible for the parcel until it is received by Wiz Sports.

1.4 Size, Colour or Product Exchanges

If you have ordered the wrong size, colour or model and would like to exchange it, please contact us within the applicable return period.

Where the original product is eligible for a change-of-mind return, we may arrange an exchange or provide store credit so you can select another product.

For change-of-mind exchanges, the customer is generally responsible for:

• The cost of returning the original product; and
• Any applicable shipping cost for sending the replacement product.

Any difference in price between the original and replacement products will also need to be paid before the replacement is dispatched.

1.5 Damaged, Faulty or Incorrectly Supplied Products

If you receive a product that is damaged, faulty, materially different from its description, or different from the product you ordered, please contact Wiz Sports as soon as possible.

We may ask you to provide photographs, videos or other reasonable information so we can assess the issue.

Where a return is reasonably required for assessment, Wiz Sports may provide a prepaid return shipping label for the product to be returned to us.

Once the product is received, it will be inspected and assessed.

Where appropriate, we may arrange a replacement, repair, refund or other remedy in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

If a replacement is the appropriate remedy and the product is available, we can arrange for the correct or replacement product to be sent after the original product has been returned and assessed.

Customers will not be required to pay return shipping costs where Wiz Sports has supplied an incorrect product or where Wiz Sports is responsible for an eligible faulty or damaged product return, subject to applicable consumer law.

1.6 Cricket Bats That Have Been Prepared or Customised

Change-of-mind returns, exchanges and store credits are not available for cricket bats that have been prepared, altered or customised at the customer's request.

This includes, but is not limited to, bats that have undergone:

• Knocking-in
• Oiling
• Extratec or protective sheet application
• Toe guard installation
• Grip changes or additional grips
• Weight reduction
• Bat preparation or match-ready services
• Custom modifications
• Any other preparation or alteration requested by the customer

Once preparation or customisation has commenced, the cricket bat can no longer be treated as a standard unused product and therefore cannot ordinarily be returned simply because the customer has changed their mind.

This exclusion applies specifically to change-of-mind returns and does not remove any rights or remedies that may apply under the Australian Consumer Law if the product or service has a problem covered by the ACL.

1.7 Hygiene & Personal-Use Products

For hygiene and health reasons, certain products may not be accepted for a change-of-mind return or exchange once used, worn, opened or otherwise rendered unsuitable for resale.

This may include certain protective equipment, apparel, compression garments, personal-use accessories and other hygiene-sensitive products.

Where applicable, the product must remain unused, unworn, unopened where relevant, and in its original packaging to be considered for a change-of-mind return.

This hygiene exclusion does not limit any rights a customer may have under the Australian Consumer Law where a product is faulty, defective, incorrectly supplied or otherwise fails to meet a consumer guarantee.

1.8 Inspection of Returned Products

All returned products are subject to inspection by Wiz Sports.

Receiving a returned product does not automatically mean that a return, exchange or store credit has been approved.

We will inspect the product to confirm its condition and whether it meets the applicable return requirements.

For change-of-mind returns, Wiz Sports may decline the return where the product:

• Has been used or worn.
• Has been damaged after delivery.
• Is dirty, marked or has an odour.
• Is missing packaging, tags or accessories.
• Has been altered or customised.
• Is no longer suitable to be sold as new.
• Falls within an excluded change-of-mind category.

1.9 Australian Consumer Law

Our change-of-mind policy is separate from your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Where goods have a major or minor failure, are unsafe, are not of acceptable quality, do not match their description or otherwise fail to comply with applicable consumer guarantees, the remedies available will be determined in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

In summary: Wiz Sports does not provide cash refunds simply because a customer changes their mind. Eligible unused products may be returned within 10 days for store credit, excluding applicable shipping costs. Faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied products are handled separately in accordance with this policy and the Australian Consumer Law.
