Warranty
Chubb warrants to the original system purchaser
(“Customer”) that each new PEFS F3 system is free from defects
in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of commissioning.
This warranty does not cover any fault, damage or malfunction resulting from:
a party’s negligence, fault, misuse, abuse, neglect (including lack of or improper maintenance) or incorrect
use of the PEFS F3 System;
fair wear and tear;
replacement of consumables;
modification of the PEFS F3 System after it has been installed and commissioned;
modification of the use, condition and environment of the PEFS F3 System after it has been installed and
commissioned;
use, alteration, repair or maintenance by any party that is not suitably authorised, trained and qualified; or
vandalism, fire, water, accidental damage, power surge or any other circumstance or event outside of
Chubb’s control.
This warranty is conditional upon documented evidence of proper maintenance, performed in accordance with the
PEFS F3
Owner’s Manual and Maintenance Manual by authorised, qualified and trained personnel, using
replacement parts that conform to original design specifications.
Where Chubb breaches its obligations under this warranty, Chubb may in its sole direction elect to re-supply the
PEFS F3 System, or to replace or repair the PEFS F3 System.
To the extent permitted by law, Chubb will have no liability for any statements, representations, guarantees,
conditions or warranties not expressly stated in writing by Chubb.
Consumer Guarantees
Nothing in this warranty excludes, restricts or modifies the application of the provisions of any statute (including the
Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and the Australian Consumer Law contained therein) where to do so
would contravene that statute or cause any part of this warranty to be void. If the Customer is a “consumer” as
defined in the Australian Consumer Law, the following provisions will apply.
Chubb’s products and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer
Law. If the PEFS F3 System is believed to be defective, the Customer must notify Chubb as soon as possible and
provide a detailed explanation of the problem.
The Customer is entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and to compensation for any other
reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. The Customer is also entitled to have the PEFS F3 System repaired or
replaced if the PEFS F3 System fails to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Chubb reserves the right to replace any PEFS F3 System under warranty with a new, refurbished or
remanufactured PEFS F3 System.
If Chubb elects to repair the PEFS F3 System:
goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being
repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods; and
