Australian Consumer Rights

Consumer guarantees apply under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes the application of those guarantees. For more information about your rights as a consumer, see the Australian Consumer Law website at http://www.consumerlaw.gov.au.

Additional item-specific warranty disclaimers:

The Company will not cover specific warranty claims on products including, but not limited to, the following (unless required under the Australian Consumer Law):

TRAMPOLINES AND TRAMPOLINE ACCESSORIES:

Rips and tears in nets
General wear and tear to pole protectors
General wear and tear to Jump-Mat

FUEL POWERED EQUIPMENT:

Damage caused by incorrect fuel use
Inability to start due to incorrect tuning, starting procedure, or dirty filters
Product which has been stored for long periods with fuel in the tank
Product not maintained, oiled, and cleaned

POOL COVERS:

UV damage to pool covers (dried, cracked, hardened areas, broken insulation bubbles) will not be covered under warranty. Such damage is caused by improper installation or storage of the cover. Pool covers should lay flat on the water surface with the bubble side down. Folds in the cover or large air bubbles under the cover which prevent the cover from laying flat on the water cause the cover to overheat in sunlight which can cause the cover to become brittle over time. When the cover is stored off the pool it must be stored rolled, not folded, and be kept out of sunlight and excessive heat until it is installed back onto the pool surface.

GAZEBOS, TENTS, and GARDEN UMBRELLAS:

Outdoor items including gazebos, tents, and umbrellas must be securely tied down. The Company will not be liable for damage to items ‘blown away’ by the wind or damage to persons or property caused by the item which was not sufficiently secured against weather. The warranty policy does not cover:

Damage caused by product not being secured properly as required
Physical damage caused by use during inclement weather
Physical damage caused by misuse of the product
Physical damage caused by incorrect erection of the product
Physical damage caused accidentally or purposefully
Physical damage caused by the item blowing away under windy conditions

SHADE SAILS

Company will not cover specific warranty claims on shade sails including, but not limited to, the following:

Damage caused by the product not being secured properly as required
Damage caused by misuse of the product
Damage caused by wear and tear from trees and branches etc
Damage from rot or mildew resulting from leaves etc being left on the sail
Damage caused by overtightening

This product has been inspected, cleaned, and repaired to meet product classifications. This item may or may not be in its original packaging and may or may not exhibit signs of prior use, cosmetic blemishes, and extensive signs of use. It will be supplied with accessories and software specifically mentioned in our listing and not any other external guide or website.
