CG LOCKS WARRANTY | Australian Consumer Law Guarantees

1. Warranty - CG LOCKS AU also warrants that each of its CG LOCKS products will be free of defects in material and workmanship (including mechanical parts) for a period of 1 year from date of purchase of the product with which this document is given, subject to the limitations and exclusions set out below ("Warranty').

3. a. Electrical and Electronic Components - Electrical and electronic components used in CG LOCKS AU's CG LOCKS products (excluding keys, cylinders and batteries) are warranted and will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of 1 year from the date of purchase. Batteries are not covered by the Warranty. b. Cylinders and Keys - All mechanical and electromechanical cylinders and keys sold under CG LOCKS brand are warranted and will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of 1 year (faults with both mechanical and electromechanical components) from the date of purchase. c. Finish - The Warranty does not apply to the finishes of CG LOCKS products nor to cosmetic or appearance damage. d. Stainless Steel - Stainless Steel is not stain free but stains less, compared to ordinary carbon steel.
