Content disclaimer

Special statutory requirements apply in circumstances where you are a 'consumer' as defined in the Australian Consumer Law, meaning that you are acquiring goods or services priced at less than $40,000 or, alternatively, you are requiring goods or services priced at more than $40,000 but which are of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption. These transactions are referred to as "consumer sales".

Goods and services which are the subject of consumer sales come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

The following guarantees (consumer guarantees) apply to the supply of goods under a consumer sale: 

  • the services will be provided with due care and skill;

  • the services will be provided within a reasonable time (when no time is set);
  • we will use an acceptable level of skill or technical knowledge when providing the services; or

In the case of a consumer contract for services, your remedies for a breach of a consumer guarantee are as follows: 

  • in the case of a major failure, you can cancel the services and obtain a refund, or alternatively keep the contract and claim compensation for loss of value; and
