The Australian Consumer Law
- 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 benefits which are in addition to your rights and remedies under the Australian Consumer Law and any other laws in relation to the goods.
What is covered by this warranty?
- The Seller warrants goods that it manufactures (goods or fan) to be free of defects in material and workmanship, on the terms and conditions set out in this warranty.
How a valid warranty claim will be honoured
- If the purchaser makes a claim in accordance with this warranty within a period not exceeding 12 months after the date of dispatch of the goods, the Seller’s obligations under this warranty is limited to the Seller, at the Seller’s option:
- making good any defects in material and workmanship by the Seller; or
- by replacement of the goods.
The purchaser’s responsibilities and what is not covered by this warranty
- This warranty is only applicable where:
- defects in the goods have arisen solely from faulty materials or workmanship;
- the goods have not received maltreatment, inattention or interference;
- the goods have been cared for, and operated under normal conditions, and with competent supervision, all in accordance with the Seller’s Operation Manual;
- accessories of any kind used by the purchaser are manufactured by or approved by the Seller, acting reasonably; and
- the defective goods are promptly returned to the Seller in accordance with this warranty, at the purchaser’s cost.
- This warranty does not apply:
- if any of the goods are subjected to conditions which cause abrasion, erosion, corrosion or deterioration due to excessive heat (that is heat being beyond the maximum allowable heat under the Aerotech instructions for use) or any damages similar or related thereto, because the Seller is unaware of any forms of construction, materials, alloys or coatings which will successfully resist all abrasion, erosion, corrosion, or deterioration from excessive heat;
- to damage the goods caused in any other fashion by usage or storage or installation that is outside the terms of Aerotech’s terms of use;
- where goods are handled other than in accordance with the handling instructions set out in the relevant Operations & Maintenance Manual;
- where operation, use or maintenance of the goods is otherwise in accordance with instructions provided by Aerotech;
- if there is any corrosion or fouling to the goods caused by any foreign substance deposited in or on the goods subsequent to delivery of the goods;
- where the purchaser or any other third party undertakes the responsibility of mounting the fan wheel directly to the motor or turbine shafts without the Seller having inspected and tested the assembled unit before the fan is operated in any fashion;
- where the purchaser or any third party replaces any part of the goods with a part that is not the correct genuine Aerotech part to be used as part of the goods, or such other part as has been approved by the Seller, acting reasonably, in writing; and
- until the purchaser has made full payment to the Seller for the goods to which this warranty is to apply and any such purported claim on this warranty is void.
9. If any questions exist as to whether the proposed operation of the goods is within “normal conditions” for such goods, details of such proposed operation should be provided to the Seller at its Bayswater factory. The Seller will review the proposed operation of the goods (at a fee to be determined by the Seller acting reasonably) and advise if the proposed operation is acceptable.
10. The Seller shall not be liable under this warranty for the adjustment, alteration, repair or replacement of any defective part or parts, or for loss, damage, or any expense in connection with such actions when such actions are undertaken by a third party without the Seller’s written consent having first been obtained.
11. The performance of the Seller’s fans outside of the laboratory may vary widely and differ from the performance specifications contained in its sales literature. Therefore, the Seller cannot and does not guarantee or warrant the performance of its fans at the purchaser’s location.
How to lodge a warranty claim

13. The purchaser must bear the cost and expense of claiming under this warranty.
