WARRANTY

HOW CONSUMER LAW RELATES TO THIS WARRANTY

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. 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.

This warranty gives you additional rights and benefits in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and any other applicable laws. To the extent permitted by law, Barista Equip Australia does not exclude, restrict or modify any consumer guarantee, right or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law.

WARRANTY LIMITATIONS SUBJECT TO CONSUMER LAW

To the extent permitted by law, this warranty and the remedies set out in it are exclusive and in place of all other warranties, remedies and conditions, whether oral, written, statutory, express or implied. Where any statutory or implied warranty cannot lawfully be excluded, Barista Equip Australia limits its liability to the maximum extent permitted by law and, where permitted, to the repair or replacement of the product or supply of equivalent goods or services.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

Barista Equip Australia warrants the Puqpress-branded hardware product and accessories contained in the original packaging against defects in materials and workmanship when used under normal conditions and in accordance with Barista Equip Australia’s published guidelines for a period of:

  • Two (2) years parts warranty from the date of original retail purchase by the end-user purchaser; and

  • Six (6) months labour warranty from the date of original retail purchase by the end-user purchaser,

(together, the Warranty Period).

This warranty is provided on a return-to-base only basis. This means the product must be returned to Barista Equip Australia or its nominated service agent for assessment, repair or replacement.

Barista Equip Australia’s published guidelines include, but are not limited to, information contained in technical specifications, user manuals, setup instructions, cleaning procedures and service communications.

All claims made under this warranty are governed by the terms of this warranty document.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

This warranty does not apply to any non-Puqpress branded hardware products or any software, even if packaged or sold with Puqpress hardware. Manufacturers, suppliers or publishers other than Barista Equip Australia may provide their own warranties. Please contact them directly for further information.

This warranty also does not apply to:

(a) consumable or cosmetic parts, including but not limited to top covers, buttons, finishes or protective coatings that are designed to diminish or wear over time, unless the failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship;

(b) cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, marks or broken plastic, unless the damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship;

(c) damage caused by use with a third-party component or product that does not meet the Puqpress product specifications;

(d) damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, mishandling, liquid ingress, fire, flood, earthquake or other external cause;

(e) damage caused by operating the product outside Barista Equip Australia’s published guidelines;

(f) damage caused by service, repair, modification, upgrades or alterations carried out by anyone other than Barista Equip Australia or its authorised service representatives;

(g) products that have been modified to alter functionality or capability without prior written permission from Barista Equip Australia or Puqpress;

(h) defects caused by normal wear and tear or the normal ageing of the product;

(i) products where any serial number has been removed, altered or defaced;

(j) products reported as stolen or where proof of ownership or proof of purchase cannot be provided; or

(k) issues arising from failure to correctly install, calibrate, clean or maintain the equipment in accordance with Barista Equip Australia’s instructions.

IMPORTANT RESTRICTION

Barista Equip Australia may restrict warranty service for hardware products to the country in which Barista Equip Australia or its authorised distributor originally sold the device.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You must ensure that your Puqpress is installed correctly, used correctly and cleaned daily in accordance with Barista Equip Australia’s setup and cleaning instructions, including any instructions published at baristaequip.com.au/pages/setup or otherwise provided by us.

Before warranty service is provided, Barista Equip Australia may require you to:

  • provide proof of purchase;

  • provide details of the fault;

  • respond to diagnostic questions;

  • follow troubleshooting steps; and

  • return the product to our nominated service location.

You must not attempt to open the product or remove screws or components unless expressly instructed by Barista Equip Australia or its authorised service representatives. Unauthorised disassembly or repair may result in damage not covered by this warranty.

RETURN TO BASE ONLY

This warranty is strictly return to base only.

The customer is responsible for safely packaging and returning the product to the service location nominated by Barista Equip Australia. Unless otherwise required by law or agreed in writing, the customer is responsible for all costs associated with:

  • freight or transport to and from the service location;

  • removal and reinstallation of the equipment;

  • on-site attendance;

  • travel time;

  • loan equipment; and

  • any other incidental costs associated with accessing warranty service.

Barista Equip Australia is not responsible for transit damage where the product is not packaged appropriately for transport.

WHAT WILL BARISTA EQUIP AUSTRALIA DO IF THE WARRANTY APPLIES?

If, during the applicable Warranty Period, you submit a valid claim in accordance with this warranty, Barista Equip Australia may, at its option:

(i) repair the product using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability;

(ii) replace the product with the same model or, with your consent, a product of similar functionality and equivalent value; or

(iii) where required by law or where Barista Equip Australia elects to do so, provide a refund or other remedy in accordance with applicable law.

Any repaired or replacement product or part will carry the balance of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days from the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer.

LABOUR WARRANTY LIMITATION

Labour is covered only for the first six (6) months from the date of original retail purchase and only where the repair is carried out by Barista Equip Australia or its nominated service agent on a return-to-base basis.

After the six-month labour period expires, any labour, assessment, bench testing, repair time, handling or related service charges will be payable by the customer, even if replacement parts are supplied under the remaining parts warranty period.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

Before requesting warranty service, please review the available online support resources and cleaning/setup instructions provided by Barista Equip Australia.

If the product is still not functioning correctly, please contact Barista Equip Australia with proof of purchase and details of the fault. Barista Equip Australia will determine whether the product requires warranty assessment and advise you of the return process.
