Country Specific Provisions
Australia
- Australian Consumer Law
- Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for 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.
- The Maintenance and Support provided to remedy any defect in the Service may be a “Warranty Against Defects” as defined in the ACL.
- To the extent permitted by law, PaperCut's liability for a failure to comply with any statutory guarantee is limited to one or more of the following, at PaperCut's option:
- the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;
- the repair of the goods;
- the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or
- the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired, unless it is not fair or reasonable for PaperCut to rely on this term of the Agreement.
- The benefits that we provide to consumers under our Warranty Against Defects are in addition to any other rights or remedies a consumer may have in respect of these goods or services under the ACL.
