Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian consumer law. You are entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. 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.

Should your product be defective, you can make a claim under Australian consumer law. SteelSeries will provide its own remedies equivalent to those remedies in the consumer guarantee provisions of the Australian Consumer Law at any time within 24 months of the date of purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, SteelSeries acknowledges that the Australian Consumer Law may provide for remedies beyond 24 months for a number of its products.

Summary of Australian statutory consumer guarantees

Consumer guarantees in relation to goods: The goods will be of acceptable quality, fit for a particular purpose, match their description, match the sample or demonstration model, you have title to the goods, you have undisturbed possession of the goods, and there are no undisclosed securities on the goods.

Consumer guarantees in relation to services: We will provide the services with due care and skill, fit for a particular purpose, and within a reasonable time.

For SteelSeries-branded goods, we also guarantee that we will provide repairs or spare parts for a reasonable time. Under Australian consumer law, the remedy you are entitled to if a product fails to meet a consumer guarantee will depend on whether the failure to comply with the guarantee is major or minor.

Minor failures to comply with a consumer guarantee can normally be fixed or resolved in a reasonable amount of time. In this case, the seller can choose to offer you a refund, replacement, repair or, in the case of services, resupply. If the seller does not fix the problem or takes too long, you may be able to get it fixed by someone else and recover the costs from the seller depending on the circumstances.

Remedies for major failure with goods: Return the product and ask for a refund, return the product and ask for an identical replacement, or one of similar value if reasonably available, keep the product and ask for compensation for the drop in value caused by the problem.

Remedies for major failure with services: Cancel the contract and pay a reasonable amount for the work done, or seek a refund. For money already paid, keep the contract and negotiate a reduced price for the drop in value of the service—this may mean asking for some of your money back if you have already paid.

For goods, there is a major failure to comply with a consumer guarantee when:

• You would not have purchased the product if you had known about the problem.
• The product is significantly different from the description, sample or demonstration model you were shown.
• The product is substantially unfit for its normal purpose and cannot easily be made fit within a reasonable time.
• The product is substantially unfit for a purpose that you told the supplier about, and cannot easily be made fit within a reasonable time.
• The product is unsafe.

For services, there is a major failure to comply with a consumer guarantee when:

• You would not have engaged the service if you had known the nature and extent of the problem.
• The service does not meet the reasonable expectations for that type of service, and the problem cannot be rectified within a reasonable time.
• You told the supplier that you wanted the service for a specific purpose, which was not fulfilled, and the problem could not be easily rectified within a reasonable time.
• You told the supplier that you wanted a specific result, yet the service and end result failed to meet your specifications and could not be easily rectified within a reasonable time.
• The supply of the service has created an unsafe situation.
