). 

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 notifi ed to Redarc, together with the 
reasonable costs of removal and return of any Products determined by Redarc to be 
defective.  

5.  If the Purchaser incurs expenses of the nature referred to in clause 4 in the 

context of making a claim pursuant to this Warranty that is accepted by Redarc, 
the Purchaser will be entitled to claim for reimbursement of those expenses which 
Redarc determines, in exercise of its sole discretion, to be reasonably incurred, 
provided that the claim is notifi ed to Redarc in writing at the postal address or email 
address specifi ed in clause 21 and includes:
5.1  details of the relevant expenses incurred by the Purchaser; and 
5.2  proof of the relevant expenses having been incurred by the Purchaser.

Exclusions and limitations

6.  This Warranty will not apply to, or include any defect, damage, fault, failure

discretion, to be due to:
6.1  normal wear and tear or exposure to weather conditions over time;
6.2  accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, vandalism, alteration or modifi cation;
6.3  non-observance of any of the instructions supplied by Redarc, including

6.5  repairs to the Product that are not strictly in accordance with Redarc’s

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

of, a person who is not a qualifi ed auto electrician or technician, or if non-
genuine or non-approved parts have been fi tted;

6.7  faulty power supply, power failure, electrical spikes or surges, lightning, fl ood, 

storm, hail, extreme heat, fi re 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 

postal address or email address specifi ed in clause 21 within the Warranty Period.  
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, specifi ed on the label affi xed 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 qualifi ed 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 specifi cations) in fulfi lling 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 benefi t 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, offi cers 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, fi re, fl ood, 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.
