Terms & Conditions
Last updated: October 9, 2026 · Batch 2 terms version 2026-10-09
Welcome to HOPE Ring, operated by Cyterx Pty Ltd trading as HOPE Ring (“HOPE Ring”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of hopering.com.au (the “Website”), our products, services, communications, and related offerings.
By accessing our Website, purchasing our products, requesting services, or otherwise engaging with HopeRing, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Website or services.
Batch 2 preorder
Batch 1 is sold out. The Batch 2 early-access device price is A$499 including GST. Australian delivery is free. Estimated ring dispatch is late 2026 to early 2027, after size confirmation and production readiness. We will send production updates and notify you of material changes.
Your A$5 reservation secures an A$499 ring order and includes HOPE Ring B, a free physical sizing kit, Pro charging case, priority dispatch among ready Batch 2 orders, a 12-month total ring warranty, a family setup session, the protection allowance below and priority invitations for Carerpod and Gen B2. Earlier promised allocations and delivery commitments are retained.
A new A$5 reservation holds one Batch 2 allocation and locks in the A$499 device price. The deposit is credited once toward a direct purchase, leaving A$494. Completing a reservation uses its existing allocation. All listed benefits are included with your reservation. We send your free sizing kit first; confirm your size and complete your order once it arrives. The A$494 balance is due within 10 days of paying the A$5 reservation. Payment timing for NDIS and Support at Home funding may vary. Contact HOPE if your kit has not arrived in time; no automatic balance charge or cancellation is made by this website. Earlier customers retain every benefit already promised to them.
You may cancel a full-payment preorder before ring dispatch for a full refund of the amount received, to the original payment method. Sizing-kit dispatch or delivery does not count as ring dispatch. See the Refund Policy for cancellations, deposit credit and funded orders.
Core fall alerts have no monthly fee. Carerpod and Gen B2 are separate future products with their own purchase terms.
The included family setup session is a virtual Zoom meeting covering pairing, nominated contacts and understanding alerts. Booking slots open after the products ship; we will email eligible customers booking instructions.
Ring protection
Your HOPE Ring order includes one complimentary ring replacement if your ring is accidentally damaged or lost during the first 12 months after delivery. One replacement in total for accidental damage or loss. Coverage terms apply.
The 12-month period starts when the customer receives the HOPE ring. Paying for the preorder, dispatching the ring or delivering a sizing kit does not start that period.
The promotional replacement allowance is separate from the ring warranty, manufacturing-defect claims and Australian Consumer Law rights. Manufacturing-defect claims do not consume the promotional allowance.
The protection allowance is included with your A$5 reservation and begins when you receive your HOPE ring. A funding enquiry or approval alone is not a completed purchase. Earlier customers retain their previously promised entitlements.
To claim, email hello@hopering.com.au with your order reference, purchase email, incident date and description. For accidental damage, provide photos if available; for loss, provide a written account. HOPE may request reasonable information to verify the purchase, original ring delivery and incident. A lost ring does not need to be returned. If inspection of a damaged ring is needed, HOPE will provide return instructions and cover reasonable return expenses.
There is no excess or replacement fee, and Australian replacement delivery is free. The allowance covers the ring, not accessories or separate future products. A second promotional replacement, or an incident outside the 12-month period, is outside this allowance. A replacement does not restart the original protection period. Nothing limits remedies for defective goods or your statutory rights.
Carerpod and Gen B2 early access
Be among the first invited to access Carerpod and our next-generation HOPE ring, with updates shared directly with eligible Early Access customers.
Priority invitations are included with your paid A$5 reservation. Earlier customer promises remain recorded. Early access does not include a complimentary device, subscription or Gen B2 replacement. Both Carerpod and Gen B2 are separate purchases. Prices and purchase terms will be announced when each product is released.
Launch timing and availability have not been promised. You may choose whether to purchase after reviewing the future product's terms. Existing customers retain any stronger future-product benefit already promised to them.
HOPE ring warranty
Orders secured through the A$5 reservation flow include a 12-month warranty from receipt of the ring. These periods do not limit Australian Consumer Law rights, which may continue for longer. Earlier customers retain any longer warranty already promised.
For a manufacturing defect during the applicable warranty period, email your order reference or other proof of purchase, purchase email and a description of the problem to hello@hopering.com.au. Photos may help but are not required if unavailable. HOPE will assess the problem and arrange repair or replacement where covered; any refund or other remedy required by law remains available. Original packaging is not required for a faulty-product claim.
HOPE covers reasonable expenses for a covered warranty claim, including necessary return and replacement delivery. Please contact us for return instructions and keep receipts so reasonable expenses can be reimbursed. Accidental damage and loss are addressed separately under the ring protection allowance. Manufacturing-defect claims do not use that allowance.
