This product comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Under the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure to meet any of the non-excludable consumer guarantees and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
