Once we receive your claim, one of our representatives will help to determine, acting reasonably, whether the warranty claim is valid and, if it is, will inform you how we will honour it.
We may require you, after you lodge your claim, to provide proof of purchase details, to respond to questions that are designed to assist with determining potential defaults, and to follow our procedures for obtaining warranty service, which may include a physical or virtual inspection of the Goods. You must respond to all requests promptly.
Subject to any rights or remedies that may apply to you under the Australian Consumer Law, we will bear the reasonable delivery cost of any required return of the Goods.

Subject to any rights or remedies that may apply to you under the Australian Consumer Law, if you submit a valid warranty claim, we will, at our option, repair the Goods, refund the cost of the Goods, or replace the Goods with goods that are at least equivalent in function and quality. If Goods (or components of Goods) are replaced, any replacement item becomes your property, and the replaced Goods becomes our property.
