12. Joolca will reject Warranty claims that do not comply with the above requirements.

13.1. The Customer does not notify Joolca in writing through a Warranty claim within the Warranty Period;

13.2. The Customer does not notify Joolca in writing through a Warranty claim within one (1) month of becoming aware of the relevant circumstances giving rise to the claim, so that any further problems with the Product could have been minimised;

Where Joolca is in possession of the Product, the Product will be returned to the Customer on receipt of the amount charged.

15. Any replaced Product or components of Product shall become the property of Joolca.

16. Joolca may, in exercise of its sole discretion, deliver another type of Product or component of a Product (different in size, colour, shape, weight, brand and/or specifications, including refurbished or reconditioned Products and components) in fulfilling its obligations under this Warranty, in the event that Joolca has discontinued manufacturing or supplying the relevant Product or component at the time of the Warranty claim, or where such Product or component is superior to that originally purchased by the Customer.

OTHER CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY

17. If the Customer acquired a Product for the purpose of resupply, then this Warranty shall not apply to that Product.

18. In particular, the sale of a Product via an offline or traditional store, online auction, online store, other internet websites, or any other outlet by a party that is not an authorised distributor or reseller of Joolca will be deemed to be a resupply within the meaning of the Australian Consumer Law, and will render this Warranty void, as Joolca has no control over the storage, handling, quality or safety of Products sold by such persons.

19. A Customer shall only be entitled to the benefits of this Warranty after all amounts owing in respect to the Product have been paid.

20. While Joolca warrants that its Products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship in the circumstances set out in this Warranty, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Joolca does not warrant that the operation of the Products will be uninterrupted or error-free.

21. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Joolca’s determination of the existence of any defect and the cause of any defect will be conclusive.

22. Spare parts or materials for the Products are guaranteed to be available for a period of at least two (2) years after purchase of the Products.

23. The agents, officers and employees of any distributor or reseller of the Products and of Joolca are not authorised to vary or extend the terms of this Warranty.

24. Joolca shall not be responsible or liable to a Customer or any third party in connection with any non-performance or delay in performance of any terms and conditions of this Warranty due to acts of God, war, riots, strikes, warlike conditions, plague or other epidemic, fire, flood, blizzard, hurricane, changes of public policies, terrorism, and other events which are beyond the control of Joolca. In such circumstances, Joolca may suspend performance of this Warranty without liability for the period of the delay reasonably attributed to such causes.

25. If a clause of part of a clause in this Warranty can be read in a way that makes it illegal, unenforceable or invalid, but can also be read in a way that makes it legal, enforceable and valid, it must be read in the latter way. If any clause or part of a clause in this Warranty is illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that clause or part is to be treated as removed from this Warranty, but the rest of this Warranty is not to be affected.

Joolca Care (Extended HOTTAP warranty)

General. Every Joolca product comes with two years of repair coverage through its complete warranty. Joolca Care extends your HOTTAPs coverage for an additional two-years of worry-free protection.

ExclusionsWe attempt to make purchasing the warranty for the kit you've purchased (Essential, Outing, or Nomad), while clearly naming all with the corresponding kits names. However, if you accidentally or purposefully purchase warranty for a kit of lesser value, we will only honour the extended warranty on the items within that kit. E.g - you purchase a HOTTAP Outing and Essential warranty the pumping kit will not be covered under the warranty and you will be required to replace this yourself. You may not then pay the difference upon trying to redeem the warranty to receive coverage, this can only be adjusted within the first 30 days of purchase.
