Warranty Terms

This warranty is given by Rhino-Rack Australia Pty Limited ('Rhino-Rack') of 3 Pike Street, Rydalmere NSW 2116.

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 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 benefits given to you by Rhino-Rack under this warranty are in addition to your other rights and remedies under a law in relation to the goods to which the warranty relates.

Subject to the conditions of this warranty, Rhino-Rack warrants the following products manufactured by Rhino-Rack will be free from any manufacturing defect in materials or workmanship for the following periods from the date of purchase (each a "Warranty Period"):
 

• Lifetime for roof racks;
• 1 year for products made from textile and fabric, locks and electrical components;
• 3 years for steel (ferrous) products and components; and
• 5 years for all other products.
  
  Requirements for warranty claims
  
  You must register your warranty with Rhino-Rack within 21 days of the date of purchase by returning the completed warranty registration card (if supplied with the product) to Rhino-Rack at the above address or by completing the warranty registration form on our website at www.rhinorack.com.au. Rhino-Rack may waive this requirement on a case by case basis, in its discretion.
  
  To make a warranty claim you must return the defective product or components to the place where the product was purchased together with the original proof of purchase or receipt. No warranty claim will be processed without proof of purchase.
  
  A warranty claim must relate to a defect which appears within the Warranty Period and must be made within 15 days of the Warranty Period ends.
  
  The cost of returning the defective product or components to the place of purchase will be borne by the person making the warranty claim.
  
  Remedies
  
  If a defect appears during the time periods referred to above, Rhino-Rack will, within a reasonable time of being notified of the warranty claim, repair or replace, at Rhino-Rack's option any defective product or defective component without charge for parts or labour.
