When you acquire or fit an OEX product you have the peace of mind in knowing that it is backed by a comprehensive warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the period outlined in the following table. The OEX Warranty is provided in additional to any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.
To make a claims under the OEX Warranty you should return the faulty product to your place of purchase your expense, together with details of the fault and the vehicle application and mileage.
In order to assist us to assess your claim, please ensure you provide proof of purchase in the form of an invoice or invoice number from the place of purchase.
The OEX Warranty does not apply to failure or damage to a product caused by incorrect or faulty fitment, accidental or intentional damage, failure of other products, incorrect application, environmental damage or repair or modification carried out by anyone other than GPC Asia Pacific. Use of refrigerant gas other than that specified below and in the product specifications may cause damage to which the OEX Warranty will not apply.
The OEX Warranty does not cover charges incurred for rectification, de-installation, re-installation and shipping unless the charges have been previously approved in writing by GPC Asia Pacific.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, GPC Asia Pacific excludes any liability generally and under this OEX Warranty for lost profit, lost revenue, or any hire car, towing or accommodation costs associated directly or indirectly with the failure of any OEX product. All OEX products 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 for compensation for any other 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.
