ESSETI (NZ) LIMITED  WARRANTY POLICY

We understand that sometimes you may need to return a product that you have purchased from our Esseti NZ Ltd.

Authorised Distributor Network. To assist you, we have set out below the Esseti NZ Ltd Warranty Returns Policy that you should know about.  These terms and condi-

tions supersede and exclude all former and other representations and arrangements relating to any warranties on these products, irrespective of whether expressed 

or implied.

ESSETI New Zealand Limited (‘us’, ‘we’) warrants that the products bearing the brand names ESSETI, XCEL-ARC, RAZORWELD, RAZORCUT, JASIC, VIPER, T&R, 

XCEL-GAS, Otos, Servore, TECNA & HIT-8SS supplied by us and purchased by you from an Authorised ESSETI (NZ) Ltd. Distributor are free of Material and Faulty 

Workmanship Defects except for those products listed under ‘Warranty Exclusions’ and whilst any claim is made subject to the following terms and conditions.

Your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Law may not be limited by a defined time. However, New Zealand Consumer Law does recognise that the relevant time 

period can vary from product to product, depending on factors such as the nature of the product and the price. Esseti NZ Ltd. adopts the same approach. As you can 

appreciate, the type of remedy we can offer you may also vary depending on how long it takes you to return the product to us.

WARRANTY / RETURNS / EXCHANGES

Our Warranty Returns Policy recognises all and any rights you have under New Zealand Consumer Law and other relevant laws.

You shall inspect the goods on delivery and shall within seven (7) days of delivery (time being of the essence) notify the Esseti NZ Ltd. Authorised Distributor from whom 

you purchased the goods of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage or failure to comply with the description or quote.

You shall also afford Esseti NZ Ltd. the opportunity to inspect the goods within a reasonable time following delivery if you believe the goods are defective in any way.

If you shall fail to comply with these provisions the goods shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage.

For defective goods and where permissible by law, Esseti NZ Ltd. reserves the right to repair or otherwise remedy the defect prior to issuing replacement goods or 

refunding the purchase price.

If the goods are being purchased for a business purpose then the purchaser acknowledges that the Consumer Guarantees Act will not apply. 

The New Zealand Sales of Goods Act applies when goods are not covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act. You may be able to get a full refund or compensation if 

the trader doesn’t have the right to sell the goods, or the goods are:

-  not of ‘merchantable quality’ (so defective that most people wouldn’t want them)

-  not fit for their normal purpose

-  poorer quality than a sample you were shown

-  not suitable for what you told the trader you wanted the goods for

-  not matching their description

If there has been a misrepresentation you may have rights under the Fair Trading Act or the Contractual Remedies Act and therefore also entitled to, at the consumer’s 

discretion, either a refund of the purchase price of the goods, or repair of the goods, or replacement of the goods.

Returns will only be accepted provided that:

(a) You have complied with the provisions outlined above, and

(b) where the goods are unable to be repaired, the goods are returned at your cost within thirty (30) days of the delivery date, and

(c) Esseti NZ Ltd. will not be liable for goods which have not been stored or used in a proper manner, and

(d) the goods are returned in the condition in which they were delivered and with all packaging material, brochures and instructional material in as new condition as 

is reasonably possible in the circumstances.

Esseti NZ Ltd. Accepts no responsibility for any products lost, damaged or mislaid whilst in transit. Esseti NZ Ltd. may (at their sole discretion) accept the return of goods 

for credit but this may incur a handling fee of up to fifteen percent (15%) of the value of the returned Goods plus any freight costs.

MAKING A CLAIM

If you wish to make a claim under this Warranty, you should:

•   Return the product to the point of purchase either in person or via prepaid courier; or

•   Contact us by Telephone -   Esseti NZ Ltd, 

06 355 1103

When returned, the product must be accompanied with the original Receipt or Tax Invoice clearly showing the purchase date and disclosing the purchase price.  

All costs of installation, cartage, freight, travelling expenses, hiring tools and insurance are paid by the Customer. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for 

loss or damage of every kind related to the goods in any way whatsoever is limited to the amount paid to the retailer by you for the goods or the value of the goods. No 

responsibility will be taken for any products lost, damaged or mislaid whilst in transit.
