3.  Where a Product malfunctions or becomes inoperative during the Warranty Period, 

due to a defect in materials or workmanship, as determined by Redarc, then subject 

to further rights conferred by the Australian Consumer Law on the Purchaser, 

Redarc will, in exercise of its sole discretion, either:

3.1  repair the defective Product;

3.2  replace the defective Product; or 

3.3  provide a refund to the Purchaser for the purchase price paid for the defective 

Product,

without charge to the Purchaser.

4.  The warranty given by Redarc in clause 3 covers the reasonable costs of delivery 

and installation of any repaired or replaced Products or components of Products 

to the Purchaser’s usual residential address notified to Redarc, together with the

provided that the claim is notified to Redarc in writing at the postal address or email 

address specified in clause 21 and includes:

discretion, to be due to:

instructions;

6.6  installation, repairs or maintenance of the Product by, or under the supervision 

of, a person who is not a qualified auto electrician or technician, or if non-

genuine or non-approved parts have been fitted;

6.7  faulty power supply, power failure, electrical spikes or surges, lightning, flood, 

storm, hail, extreme heat, fire or other occurrence outside the control of 

Redarc; 

6.8  use other than for any reasonable purpose for which the Product was 

manufactured;

6.9  any indirect or incidental damage of whatever nature outside the control of 

Redarc.

7.  Warranty claims in respect of a Product must be made in writing to Redarc at the

Such claims must include the following:

7.1  details of the alleged defect or fault and the circumstances surrounding the 

defect or fault;

7.2  evidence of the claim, including photographs of the Product (where the subject 

of the claim is capable of being photographed);

7.3  the serial number of the Product, specified on the label affixed to the Product; 

and

7.4  proof of purchase documentation for the Product from an authorised distributor 

or reseller of Redarc, which clearly shows the date and place of purchase.

The return of any Products without the prior written instructions of Redarc will not 

be accepted by Redarc.

8.  Without limiting any other clause in this Warranty, Redarc has the right to reject any 

Warranty claim made by a Purchaser pursuant to this Warranty where:

8.1  the Purchaser does not notify Redarc in writing of a Warranty claim within the 

Warranty Period;

8.2  the Purchaser does not notify Redarc in writing of a Warranty claim within 1 

month of becoming aware of the relevant circumstances giving rise to the 

claim, so that any further problems with the Product are minimised;

8.3  the serial number of the Product has been altered, removed or made illegible 

without the written authority of Redarc;

8.4  the Purchaser is unable to provide proof of purchase documentation in 

accordance with clause 7.4 or evidence that the Product was properly installed 

and removed (if relevant), and that proper maintenance has been performed 

on the Product, by, or under the supervision of, a qualified auto electrician or 

technician, in accordance with the instructions of Redarc.

9.  If the Product is found to be working satisfactorily on return to Redarc or upon 

investigation by Redarc, the Purchaser must pay Redarc’s reasonable costs of 

testing and investigating the Product in addition to shipping and transportation 

charges.  Where Redarc is in possession of the Product, the Product will be 

returned to the Purchaser on receipt of the amount charged.

10.  Any replaced Products or components of Products shall become the property of 

Redarc.

11.  Redarc may, in exercise of its sole discretion, deliver another type of Product or 

component of a Product (different in size, colour, shape, weight, brand and/or 

other specifications) in fulfilling its obligations under this Warranty, in the event 

that Redarc has discontinued manufacturing or supplying the relevant Product or 

component at the time of the Warranty claim, or where such Product or component 

is superior to that originally purchased by the Purchaser.

Other conditions of Warranty

12.  If the Purchaser acquired a Product for the purpose of resupply, then this Warranty 

shall not apply to that Product.

13.  In particular, the sale of a Product via an online auction, online store or other 

internet website by a party that is not an authorised distributor or reseller of the 

Product will be deemed to be a resupply within the meaning of the Australian 

Consumer Law and will render this Warranty void, as Redarc has no control over the 

storage, handling, quality or safety of Products sold by such persons.

14.  A Purchaser shall only be entitled to the benefit of this Warranty after all amounts 

owing in respect of the Product have been paid.

15.  While Redarc warrants that the Products will be free from defects in materials and 

workmanship in the circumstances set out in this Warranty, to the maximum extent 

permitted by law Redarc does not warrant that the operation of the Products will be 

uninterrupted or error-free.

16.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, Redarc’s determination of the existence of 

any defect and the cause of any defect will be conclusive.

17.  Spare parts or materials for the Products are guaranteed to be available for a period 

of at least 2 years after purchase of the Products.

18.  The agents, officers and employees of any distributor or reseller of the Products and 

of Redarc are not authorised to vary or extend the terms of this Warranty.

19.  Redarc shall not be responsible or liable to the Customer or any third party in 

connection with any non-performance or delay in performance of any terms and 

conditions of this Warranty, due to acts of God, war, riots, strikes, warlike conditions, 

plague or other epidemic, fire, flood, blizzard, hurricane, changes of public policies, 

terrorism and other events which are beyond the control of Redarc.  In such 

circumstances, Redarc may suspend performance of this Warranty without liability 

for the period of the delay reasonably attributable to such causes.

20.  If a clause or part of a clause in this Warranty can be read in a way that makes it 

illegal, unenforceable or invalid, but can also be read in a way that makes it legal, 

enforceable and valid, it must be read in the latter way.  If any clause or part of 

a clause in this Warranty is illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that clause or part is 

to be treated as removed from this Warranty, but the rest of this Warranty is not 

affected.
