Warranty for “AUSLOCK PRODUCTS”

AUSLOCK guarantees all its branded products in compliance with the Australian Consumer Law. Additionally, AUSLOCK warranties that each of its AUSLOCK branded Smart Locks mentioned in this document will be free from material and workmanship defects, including mechanical parts, for a period of one year from the date of purchase. However, there are certain limitations and exclusions set out below.

Our local call-out service for lock-related issues charges a fixed fee of $180, which applies regardless of warranty coverage. For locks located outside of our local area, we offer a $250 warranty assessment holding fee, which allows for immediate lock replacement. If the assessment confirms that the lock is covered by warranty, the full $250 fee will be refunded. Damaged locks can be purchased by paying the balance of the new lock minus the $250 fee. Failure to respond or pay the balance will void the warranty for the replacement lock. The consumer is responsible for returning any faulty products to us.

Limitations: Unless otherwise provided for in writing and subject to the exclusions set out in this warranty:

a. Electrical and Electronic Components – Electrical and electronic components used in AUSLOCK branded Smart Locks (excluding batteries) are warranted will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase. Batteries are not covered by the warranty.

b. Finish – The Warranty does not apply to the finishes of Auslock branded Smart Locks, nor to cosmetic or appearance damage.

Claiming on the AUSLOCK warranty: If you bought an Auslock branded product from a retailer or another reseller, and you wish to claim warranty from the retailer or reseller, you must:

a. Return the securely packed product to the retailer or reseller, along with details of the claim on the warranty, proof of original purchase, and your name, address, email address, and telephone number. This should be done at your own expense within the respective warranty period.

If you bought an Auslock branded product directly from us or want to claim the warranty directly from us, you must:

I. First contact our customer service department to provide us with details of the warranty claim, original proof of purchase, and obtain a sales goods return number. II. Securely pack the product, including a copy of the original proof of purchase, and clearly mark the sales goods return number on the outside of the packaging. III. Return the product directly to us within the respective warranty period at the address below, at your own expense.

Smart Locks & accessories returned directly to us without an SGR number may not be accepted. Acceptance of returned products by AUSLOCK staff does not constitute acceptance of the claim of the warranty.

We will authorize the retailer or reseller from whom you bought the product to assess any warranty claim you may make, and if, in our reasonable opinion, the warranty applies, we will provide you with the same or the closest similar Auslock branded product if the same product is no longer available. We may also repair the product and return it to you or refund the price you paid for the product. This is our only obligation under the warranty. We will bear our own expenses of doing those things, and you must bear any other expenses of claiming the warranty.

Exclusions: The warranty does not apply to:

a. Auslocks branded products that have been improperly installed or fitted or for which the Auslocks installation and fitting instructions have not been followed.

b. Auslocks branded products that have not been appropriately maintained in accordance with Auslocks care and maintenance recommendations.
