General Terms and Conditions
1. In this warranty
(a) ‘Electrolux’ means Electrolux Home Products Pty Ltd ABN 51 004 762 341 in
respect of Appliances purchased in Australia and Electrolux (NZ) Limited in respect
of Appliances purchased in New Zealand;
(b) ‘Appliance’ means any Electrolux product purchased by you accompanied by this
document;
(c) ‘Warranty Period’ means
(i) where you use the Appliance for personal, domestic or household purposes
in Australia the period of ‘24’ months and in New Zealand the period of ‘24’
months;
(ii) where you use the Appliance for commercial purposes, in Australia the period
of ‘3’ months and in New Zealand the period of ‘3’ months, (if the period stated
is 0 months you are not covered by this product warranty) following the date of
original purchase of the Appliance;
(d) ‘you’ means the purchaser of the Appliance not having purchased the appliance for
re-sale, and ‘your’ has a corresponding meaning.
2. This warranty only applies to Appliances purchased and used in Australia or
New Zealand and is in addition to (and does not exclude, restrict, or modify in any way)
any non-excludable statutory warranties in Australia or New Zealand.
3. Electrolux warrants that, when dispatched from an Electrolux warehouse,
the Appliance is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the
Warranty Period.
4. During the Warranty Period Electrolux or its Authorised Service Centre will, at no extra
charge if your appliance is readily accessible without special equipment, and subject
to these terms and conditions, repair or replace any parts which it considers to be
defective. You agree that any replaced Appliances or parts become the property of
Electrolux. This warranty does not apply to light globes, batteries, filters or similar
perishable parts.
5. Parts and Appliances not supplied by Electrolux are not covered by this warranty.
6. Where you are within an Electrolux service area, this warranty covers the cost of
transport of the Appliance to and from Authorised Service Centres of Electrolux and
travelling costs for representatives of the Authorised Service Centre to and from your
home or business. If you are outside an Electrolux service area, you will bear these
costs. For information about whether you are within an Electrolux service area, please
phone 13 13 49 in Australia, or 0800 10 66 10 in
New Zealand.
7. Proof of purchase is required before you can make a claim under this warranty.
8. You may not make a claim under this warranty unless the defect claimed is due to faulty
or defective parts or workmanship. Electrolux is not liable in the following situations
(which are not exhaustive):
(a) The Appliance is damaged by:
(i) accident
(ii) misuse or abuse, including failure to properly maintain or service
(iii) normal wear and tear
(iv) power surges, electrical storm damage or incorrect power supply
(v) incomplete or improper installation
(vi) incorrect, improper or inappropriate operation
(vii) insect or vermin infestation.
(b) The Appliance is modified without authority from Electrolux in writing.
(c) The Appliance’s serial number or warranty seal has been removed
or defaced.
(d) The Appliance was serviced or repaired by anyone other than Electrolux or its
Authorised Service Centres.
9. This warranty, the contract to which it relates and the relationship between you and
Electrolux are governed by the law applicable in the Australian State where the Appliance
was purchased or the law applicable in New Zealand if the Appliance was purchased in
New Zealand. Where the Appliance was purchased in New Zealand for business purposes
the Consumer Guarantee Act does not apply.
Limitation of Liability
10. To the extent permitted by law:
(a) Electrolux excludes all warranties other than as contained in this document;
(b) Electrolux shall not be liable for any loss or damage whether direct or indirect or
consequential arising from your purchase, use or non-use of
the Appliance.
11. Provisions of the Trade Practices Act and State consumer legislation in Australia, and
the Consumer Guarantees Act, the Sale of Goods Act and the Fair Trading Act in New
Zealand, imply warranties or conditions, or impose obligations, upon Electrolux which
cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. To the extent permitted by law, the liability of
Electrolux (if any) arising out of or in relation to the Appliance or any services supplied by
Electrolux shall be limited (where it is fair and reasonable to do so),:
(a) in the case of Appliances, at its option, to the replacement or repair of the
Appliances or the supply of equivalent products or the payment of the cost
of replacing the Appliances or having the Appliances repaired or of acquiring
equivalent Appliances. Upon being replaced, parts and Appliances become the
property of Electrolux; or
(b) in the case of services, at its option, to the supply of the services again or the
payment of the cost of having the services re-supplied; and in the case of
Appliances or services supplied in New Zealand, loss or damage whether direct or
indirect or consequential that is reasonably foreseeable.
Privacy
You acknowledge that in the event that you make a warranty claim it will be necessary for
Electrolux and its Authorised Service Centres to exchange information in relation to you to
enable Electrolux to meet its obligations under this warranty.
