Australian Consumer Law

Yale warranties operate in addition to rights available under the Australian Consumer Law. Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

Customers may be entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Customers are also entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
