This warranty applies to purchases made on or after the effective date identified above.
Subject to these terms and you complying with the claims procedure, the product will, at Brother's discretion, be repaired or replaced with free parts and labour where there is a fault with the product which is a consequence of a manufacturer's defect in materials or workmanship. The machined replacement may be new or refurbished depending on availability. All replaced parts or products become the property of Brother.
The warranty applies to claims notified by you during the period of thirty six (36) months from the date you purchased the product ("Warranty Term"). However, despite this, the warranty ceases when the product is rented, sold or otherwise disposed of by you.
HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS WARRANTY
To make a claim under this warranty you will need to:
1. Contact the Brother Product Support Centre to register your claim and provide sufficient details to enable a Brother representative to assess the claim. Contact details are listed above.
2. Submit proof of purchase (e.g. invoice or purchase receipt) with your claim.
3. Follow the instructions for the warranty process (see below).
WARRANTY PROCESS
You will be responsible for transporting the warranted products for service (including packaging, transportation and insurance costs) to and from the Brother Technical Service Centre. Brother will advise you of the Brother Technical Service Centre address details.
You will need to include your proof of purchase with the warranted product. Damage caused during transportation by failing to package the product correctly will not be covered by this warranty.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
This section applies to the extent permitted by law.
This warranty only covers genuine Brother products imported into Australia by Brother.
This warranty does not include accessories and consumable items, cleaning, normal wear and tear, damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation, acts of God (including but not limited to lightning, flood, earthquake and fire), foreign matter entering the product such as liquid, moisture, insect infestation or dirt or any damage caused from service, maintenance, modification or tampering by anyone other than a Brother authorised repairer or the Brother Technical Service Centre, or with the use of supplies, consumable items, or add on products that are non genuine Brother products.
Operation of the product in excess of the specifications or other than for the intended purpose, use on electrical voltages other than shown on the rating plate, or use with the serial number or rate label removed, shall be deemed abuse.
REPAIRS
Products presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished products of the same type, rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the products. Replacement of the product or a part does not extend or restart the Warranty Term.
If a product presented for repair is capable of retaining user-generated data, you are advised that repair of the product may result in loss of the data.
REIMBURSEMENTS
Brother, or its authorised repairers, may seek reimbursement from you of any reasonable costs incurred by them if the products are found to be in good working order, the problem is not a consequence of defect or manufacturing fault or where any of the warranty exclusions and limitations apply. Reasonable costs may include the costs of packaging, insurance, transportation and parts and labour.
YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER
This section applies if you acquire the warranted products as a consumer.
The benefits provided to you under this warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies that you may have as a consumer under a law in relation to the goods or services to which this warranty relates.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
