Where You are a ‘consumer’ for the purposes of the Australian Consumer Law, We are required to provide the following mandatory statement to You: “Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

However, if the goods or services are subject to a non-excludable guarantee, implied by the Australian Consumer Law and the goods or services are not ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, then pursuant to s 64A of the Australian Consumer Law, We limit Our liability for breach of any such non-excludable guarantee implied by the Australian Consumer Law (other than a guarantee implied by sections 51, 52 or 53 of the Australian Consumer Law) or expressly given by Us to You, in respect of each of the goods and services, where it is fair and reasonable to do so, at Our option, to one or more of the following:
(a) if the breach relates to goods:
(b) if the breach relates to services:
14.7. In order for You to claim against Us under a non-excludable guarantee implied by the Australian Consumer Law, or under an express warranty given in respect of the goods or services provided by Us, You must provide written notice to Us with documentary evidence substantiating the claim, for Our review, and, in respect of the Website, must continue to use it only in accordance with the provisions of these Terms of Use.

You will be responsible for any expenses incurred in relation to an invalid claim. Where We elect to repair goods the subject of a valid claim, You agree that the goods may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired and refurbished parts may be used to repair goods. You acknowledges that where the goods are repaired and are capable of retaining user-generated data, it is possible that the repair of the goods may result in loss of data.
14.9. Any warranty against defects provided by Us to You in Your capacity as a ‘consumer’ under the Australian Consumer Law is in addition to Your other rights and remedies under a law in relation to the goods or services to which the warranty relates.
