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

Quatius Aus Pty Ltd (ABN 90 130 310 048) provides the following warranty in relation to its televisions (“TVs”) and consumer electronic products (“Non TV Product”) (collectively the “Product”).

The benefits of this warranty are in addition to any rights and remedies imposed by Australian State and Federal legislation that cannot be excluded. Nothing in this warranty is to be interpreted as excluding, restricting or modifying any State or Federal legislation applicable to the supply of goods and services which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified.

Standard Manufacturer Warranty

Subject to the terms and conditions below, SONIQ warrants that the Product will be replaced or repaired, if defects have occurred in the Product during the Standard Manufacturer Warranty period of 12 months. This warranty covers product purchased from SONIQ online shop. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and it is not transferrable if the Product is sold by the original purchaser. If a defect covered by the warranty appears, SONIQ will, in its sole discretion, either:

repair or replace the Product or the defect part of the Product free of charge; or
cause the Product or the defective part of the Product to be replaced or repaired by an authorized repair agent.

If the Product is capable of retaining user-generated data, repair of the Product may result in the loss of the data. User-generated data means any data stored on goods.

SONIQ reserves the right to replace the Product or defective parts of the Product with a product or parts and components of similar or better quality, specification, grade and composition where an identical product or component is not available. Products presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the Product.

The Standard Warranty does not extend to:

physical damage;
accessories such as remotes, power adaptors, rechargeable batteries, cables.
the defects caused by or resulting from causes not attributable to faulty parts or the manufacture of the Product, including but not limited to, defect caused by misuse, neglect, abuse, accidental damage, improper voltage, liquid spillage, vermin infestation, software, or any alterations made to the Product which are not authorised by SONIQ our authorised agents;
LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display) or plasma panels where there is a small number of defective cells (pixels). An LCD/plasma panel consists of millions of tiny cells (pixels). During the normal manufacturing process, a few cell defects may occur. Those tiny dots visible on the screen have no adverse effect on the performance of the TV and the TV is not considered defective. Therefore the appearance of a few (less than 1%) defective cells is not sufficient cause for the TV to be returned or repaired; or
image retention or burn-in which can be a problem for phosphor based displays. In extreme cases this can be permanent.

In-Home Warranty Cover

We offer in-home service for customers upon purchase. If a defect covered by the Standard or Extended Warranty appears, Soniq Digital Media Pty Ltd will replace the Product by collecting the defective Product and delivering the replacement product at the purchaser’s nominated address within an Australian capital city. Please contact us on how to purchase this cover and the Terms and Conditions.
