Warranty

The Australian Competition and Consumer Act (2010) (the ACC Act) (including the Australian Consumer Law), as well as other Australian laws, guarantee certain conditions, warranties and undertakings, and give you other legal rights, in relation to the quality and fitness for purpose of our Scoot Boots sold in Australia (the Warranty).

You are therefore entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have our Scoot Boots repaired or replaced if our Scoot Boots fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. What constitutes a major failure is set out in the Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in this Warranty purports to modify or exclude the conditions, warranties and undertakings, and other legal rights, under the ACC Act and other Australian laws. This Warranty gives you additional protection for your Scootboots and identifies a preferred approach to resolving warranty claims, which will be the quickest and simplest for all parties, subject to the exclusions, on terms and conditions below.


Coverage and Application
Scootboot Pty Ltd (Scootboot) warrants that our Scootboots:

  • Are of acceptable quality
  • Do not have any latent defects

 

Warranty Period
The period during which this Warranty is in effect is 90 days from the date Scootboots are purchased (the Warranty Period) either from Scootboot or a Scootboot Stockist.


Making a Warranty Claim
If you consider that our Scootboots are not of acceptable quality, have a latent defect, or is otherwise not compliant with the conditions, warranties, undertakings, and legal rights given to you under Australian Law (for example, our Scootboots appear faulty or damaged) you can make a claim under this Warranty.

So that we may consider your claim and authorise the return of your Scootboots you will need to:

  • Email us at scootboot@scootboots.com
  • State the reason why you consider your Scootboots are faulty or damaged
  • Provide proof of purchase


A claim under this Warranty is not formally made unless and until proof of purchase is provided. This does not detract from your statutory rights.

A claim must be made within the Warranty Period. You may have statutory rights, which cover defects that were not notified to us within the Warranty Period.

If following receipt of a claim under this Warranty, Scootboot or any of its agents determine that your claim is valid and if our Scootboots can be repaired and the failure to comply with the Warranty is not a major failure or a failure of a substantial nature, Scootboot will repair your Scootboots at no cost to you.

If our Scootboots cannot be repaired or the failure to comply with the Warranty is a major failure or a failure of a substantial nature, Scootboot will refund you the amount paid for your Scootboots (please see our Returns Policy as to the procedure to return your Scootboots).

If after receipt of a claim under this Warranty Scootboot determines that your claim in respect of its product is invalid, Scootboot reserves its right to charge you for labour, parts, freight costs and any other costs incurred by Scootboot in assessing your claim.


Warranty Transferability
This Warranty is transferable to a subsequent owner of your Scootboots but only in the event that Scootboot is notified of the sale of your Scoot Boots in writing within a reasonable time of the sale, detailing:

  • the subsequent owner’s name and contact details
  • the previous owner’s name and contact and purchase details

The effective transfer of this Warranty does not otherwise alter the terms of this Warranty in any way.
