Business Service Plan

Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Under the Australian Consumer Law, these rights apply regardless of your participation in this Business Service Program, commence from the date you purchase the Product and extend for a ‘reasonable period’. What is a “reasonable period” will depend on all of the relevant circumstances set out in the Australian Consumer Law, including the price of the Product, how it is used and its nature.

In addition, you may also be entitled to have the Product repaired or replaced under the terms of a voluntary Manufacturer’s Warranty. Information on the Manufacturer’s Warranty is contained in the relevant Product packaging or available from store staff.

The benefits under your Business Service Program are in addition to all your rights and remedies under the Australian Consumer Law, any other law that applies to the goods or services that you purchase from us, and any Manufacturer’s Warranty relating to your Product.

The Business Service Program does not change or remove any rights that the Australian Consumer Law or a Manufacturer’s Warranty may give you, but seeks to give you further benefits, certainty of outcome and to extend or strengthen what you may otherwise have. You are only paying for the rights and benefits that are additional to the rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
