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

SteelSeries provides remedies equivalent to Australian Consumer Law guarantees within 24 months of purchase. SteelSeries acknowledges that Australian Consumer Law may provide remedies beyond 24 months for some products.

• The service does not meet reasonable expectations for that type of service, and the problem cannot be rectified within a reasonable time.
• You told the supplier you wanted the service for a specific purpose, which was not fulfilled, and the problem could not be easily rectified within a reasonable time.
