Solar Blanket Pool Cover Warranty
Aussie Pool Covers Pty Ltd ACN 161 708 934 (“APC” or “we” or “us” or “our”) provides the warranties outlined in this document for its products that have been purchased in Australia (“Warranty” “Warranties”). These Warranties are subject to the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (“Australian Consumer Law”). The benefits provided in these Warranties are in addition to other rights and remedies of a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, and any other laws in relation to the products to which these warranties relate.
Replacement Warranty
Aussie Pool Covers offers a full replacement warranty for a period of 12 months on all its products. The Warranty period commences from the date that the contract of sale is completed. This Warranty does not cover colour fading or normal wear and tear from use or chemical deterioration.
Pro-Rata Warranty
We also offer a pro-rata warranty that entitles customers to purchase replacement products at a discounted price which is based on the amount of warranty time not reached. It also means that you are NOT entitled for a discount for the period of time during which you have used the product. This Warranty also commences from the date that the contract of sale is completed (e.g. 3 years means 3 years from the date of sale). Please note: The pro-rata warranty is offered on the cost of the product only. This replacement Pro-Rata Warranty does not cover nor apply to delivery or installation which are an additional cost at full rates.
