(h) Once we have received your claim, we will, at our sole discretion, determine whether the defect is covered under warranty, and will contact you to inform you of our decision. If we determine that the defect is covered, we will arrange for a replacement ZQRacing Product (or component of the ZQRacing Product) to be issued to you. Refunds are not available under this warranty. This does not detract from your statutory rights.
(i) If, following receipt of a claim under this warranty, we determine that your claim in respect of a ZQRacing Product is invalid, we may charge you for any labour, parts or transport costs incurred by us in assessing your claim.
(j) Subject to any law to the contrary, the consumer bears the cost of making any warranty claim.
(k) This warranty is NOT transferable to a subsequent owner of a ZQRacing Product in the event of the sale of that product
(l) Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
(m) Guaranteed rights under the ACL apply to consumers, have no fixed time limit and may be available after our manufacturer’s warranty has expired.
(n) The warranty given by us and set out in clauses 2.1(a) to 2.1(j) is in addition to (and does not exclude or modify in any way) any rights and remedies available to consumers under the ACL.

3. Faulty Products
(a) This clause sets out certain rights you have under the ACL and the limitations on those rights, as well as certain rights and obligations we have under the ACL. However, it is not an exhaustive detailing of the ACL and nothing in this clause is intended to waive or limit the rights available to us under the ACL or any other applicable law.
(b) The ACL contains statutory guarantees that apply to our goods sold in Australia. These guarantees require:
(i) goods to be of acceptable quality, that is, fit for the purpose for which goods of the same kind are commonly supplied, acceptable in appearance and finish, safe and durable, based on what a consumer would reasonably expect given the nature, price and description of the goods. The goods should also be free from defects that were not obvious or drawn to the consumer’s attention at the time of purchase;
(ii) goods to be reasonably fit for a purpose disclosed, either expressly or by implication, and relied upon by the consumer;
(iii) goods to be the same as their description, sample or model;
(iv) us to ensure repair facilities for the goods are reasonably available for a reasonable period after the goods are supplied;
(v) the seller to have good title to the goods;
(vi) the consumer to have the right to undisturbed possession of the goods; and
(vii) the goods to be free from any security, charge or encumbrance not disclosed or known to the consumer.
(c) If goods sold by us or a reseller/distributor of our goods do not meet a statutory guarantee, you are entitled to a remedy from either us or the reseller/distributor.
(d) The ACL distinguishes between 2 types of faults: major failures, and non-major failures.

(iv) If one of the following occurs which cannot be remedied easily within a reasonable time:
(A) the goods are substantially unfit for their purpose; or
(B) the goods are unfit for a disclosed purpose made known prior to acquisition.
(f) a non-major failure is any failure that is not a major failure.
(g) The following remedies are available:
(i) where the goods can be repaired and the failure to comply with the warranty is not a major failure (as defined in the ACL):
(A) we or the reseller/distributor may (at our election):
(1) repair the goods, or pay you for the cost of a repair of the goods;
(2) replace the goods with the same or similar goods; or
(3) refund you the amount you paid or which is payable by you for the goods;
(B) the appropriate statutory remedy provided in each case will depend on a number of factors, including:
(1) what is reasonable in the circumstances;
(2) the nature of the fault;
(3) the type of goods;
(4) the length of time that you have owned the goods; and
(5) any other relevant circumstances relating to the supply of the goods;
(C) you may reject the goods or require us or the reseller/distributor to pay the cost of repairing or replacing the goods if we or the reseller/distributor fails to remedy the failure or fails to do so within a reasonable time; or
(ii) where the goods cannot be repaired or the failure to comply with the warranty is a major failure (as defined in the ACL), you may:

(2) replacement goods; or
(3) a refund of the amount paid or payable by you for the goods; or
(B) retain the goods and require us to pay you compensation for any reduction in the value of the goods below the price paid or payable by you for the goods.
(iii) You may also be entitled to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
(h) HOWEVER, you will not be entitled to a remedy where:
(i) you are unable to provide proof of purchase for the goods;
(ii) you purchased the goods at a sale by auction (as defined under the ACL);  or purchased as a used product
(iii) you have thrown away, destroyed, or lost the goods;
(iv) the loss or damage suffered was not reasonably foreseeable as a result of the failure to comply with a statutory guarantee;
(v) the specific defect about which you have made a claim was specifically brought to your attention prior the purchase of the goods;
(vi) the defect about which you have made a claim was caused by you having misused or abused the goods, or where you have subjected the goods to neglect, improper or inadequate care, carelessness, damage, or abnormal conditions;
(vii) the defect about which you have made a claim was caused by you dealing with or using the goods contrary to our instructions for the goods, or by an incorrect attempt at modification or repair;
(viii) the defect about which you have made a claim was caused through normal wear and tear;
(ix) the goods have been attached to or incorporated into any real or personal property and can’t be detached or isolated without damaging the goods;
(x) the failure to comply with the guarantee occurred only because of a cause independent of human control and after the goods left our control or that of the reseller/distributor, for example, acts of god; or
(xi) too much time has passed, where time runs from the date of supply of the goods until the fault or problem would reasonably be expected to appear.

Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type with equal or greater functionality rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods; or
