In Australia, our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the

for your SafeGauge product, and outlines the terms by which warranty claims will be accepted or rejected and will detail the required approach to levy warranty claims.
Warranty
- SafeGauge warrants that your SafeGauge product is of Operating Quality for a period of 12-months. The commencement date for this warranty period is the day on which the SafeGauge product is invoiced from SafeGauge or its Supplier.

- SafeGauge may agree to provide a different warranty period which will be specified in the contract of sale. For the purposes of this Warranty, any warranty period outlined in a contract of sale will supersede the warranty term defined above, but all other terms in this document remain in effect in full.
