  How to make a warranty claim

   

  If a product fails within the warranty period, immediately stop using the product and store in a safe, dry environment and contact the importer or manufacturer as soon as possible.

   

  Before providing any warranty service, the importer or manufacturer may require the provision of proof of purchase or require responses to questions designed to assist with diagnosing potential faults. All requests must be responded to promptly at the buyer's expense.

   

  The importer or manufacturer will require the buyer to provide the buyer's credit card details before providing any warranty service. The buyer may need to authorise the importer or manufacturer to charge the buyer's credit card for:

   

   

  ·       the cost of repairs carried out by the importer or manufacturer (including labour costs and the costs of parts) which are not covered by this warranty (including where the exclusions listed above are applicable) or not required to be carried out pursuant to the Australian Consumer Law (if applicable); and

   

  ·       the additional fees payable by the buyer under this warranty as set out in the section below titled" Costs of obtaining warranty service".

   

   

  Where it is possible to do so, the importer or manufacturer will provide the buyer with an estimate of such costs prior to the costs being incurred by the importer or manufacturer. The buyer acknowledges that the estimates may be given by the importer or manufacturer in stages. For example, the importer or manufacturer may incur travel costs to attend a location before then assessing a product and giving the buyer an estimate of the costs to repair that product. The buyer must notify the importer or manufacturer immediately should further discussion or clarification be required prior to the costs being incurred by the importer or manufacturer.
