WARRANTY PERIODS
Our products are covered by guarantees outlined by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC). You have the right to a replacement or refund for major manufacturing defects, as well as repairs or replacements if the goods are not of acceptable quality. We assure that all our products are free from material and workmanship defects starting from the purchase date. Warranty periods apply under normal usage conditions. However, our warranty policy does not cover:
-
Non-compliance with operating instructions
-
Client mishandling (e.g., dropping the machine with humidification, leading to water leakage
-
Incorrect usage or handling of the device
-
Repairs or modifications by unauthorized individuals
-
Transport damage due to improper packaging (e.g., traveling with water in the humidifier)
Products beyond their warranty period will be assessed upon receipt at an NCS Clinic, with associated costs billed to the patient.
