6. Guarantees and Limitation of Liabilities

6.1 The Australian Consumer Law provides you with certain rights that cannot be excluded, including that the products must be of acceptable quality, reasonably fit for the purpose that we represent they will be fit for and that the products will correspond with any description. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any guarantees, warranties, representations or conditions implied or imposed by law, including under the Australian Consumer Law (or any liability under them) which by law may not be limited or excluded. If you are a “consumer” under the Australian Consumer Law, the following notice applies to you:
“Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or a refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.”
6.2 In addition to the consumer guarantees, some of our products come with an additional warranty. We will not be liable for any fault, loss or damage occurring due to your failure to adhere to warranty conditions and obligations. If you would like to make a claim under our warranty, please refer to our warranty statement at aquaplenish.com.au and contact our Customer Service Team at service@aquaplenish.com.au.

(a) all terms, guarantees, warranties, representations or conditions which are not expressly stated in these Terms are excluded; and
(b) we will not be liable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage (unless such loss or damage is reasonably foreseeable resulting from our failure to meet an applicable consumer guarantee that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law) arising out of or in connection with the products or these Terms (including as a result of not being able to use the products or the late supply of products), or the need to recover, or replace any items used with the products purchased from us, whether at common law, under contract, tort (including negligence), in equity, pursuant to statute or otherwise.
