CONSUMER GUARANTEES AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
GENERAL

These terms and conditions and any contract to which they apply shall be governed by the laws of New South Wales in which we have our principal place of business, and are subject to the jurisdiction of the Courts in that state.
