If the Customer is a consumer as defined in the Australian Consumer Law, the following applies:


Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer 
Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled:


•     to cancel your service contract with us; and
•     to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.
 

You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.


Please note that a Customer will not be considered to be a consumer if goods are purchased to be resold or to be transformed into a product that is sold by the Customer.

If you have purchased goods from a third party, comprising a Somfy product, you should make contact with  the  business which supplied  the  Somfy  product  to  you  as  they  have  the  primary responsibility to you under Australian Consumer Law.
