Warranty Policy
Hototool products are covered by a warranty.
Note: The warranty is provided in addition to the rights and remedies granted to you by seller or granted to you under applicable legislation. Therefore, any remedy (e.g. rectification, claim for damages, right to terminate the contract) granted by Hototool or by the law applicable remain unaffected e.g., the right to claim lack of conformity within 12 months from the date of purchase.
The warranty covers all defects compared to the specification of the product in question, that may arise in the product within the below-mentioned warranty period, however, with the exceptions set out below.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated in documents provided in connection with the purchase, the warranty period is twelve (12) months.
The warranty period starts when the product(s) is delivered to the first end-user. This warranty does not extend to any product whose serial number has been defaced or altered, just as the warranty will cease if you make modifications in the software not authorized by Hototool.
Note: If it appears as "Delivered" on courier's website (ie: AUSPOST) for more than 3 months, the delivery details on courier's website will be deleted. The courier will not provide any compensation to us for these order, that's why we can't provide any refund if the client does not inform us to investigate the parcel via email 3 months after it has been "Delivered" on courier’s website.
The following are NOT covered by the warranty:
- Accessories and spare parts (including but not limited to cables, carrying case etc.) sold separately i.e. not bundled with a Hototool product.
- Defects that have been caused by wrongful use, incorrect installation, incorrect repairs/modifications, or maladjustment of the product, or neglect, including but not limited to “burn in”, overdriving of speakers and similar wrongful use.
- Defects that have been caused by lightning, fire, water, or other events of force majeure.
- Defects in consumables, (i.e. components that are expected to require regular replacement including without limitation: carrying case, cables etc.) or use beyond the expected lifetime of the consumable in question.
- Defects caused by normal wear and tear especially for leather product/s.
- Batteries will be covered by three (3) months warranty.
- Items that are prone to wear and tear, such as the keycaps and palm rests, will be covered by our three (3) month warranty.
With the herein stated exceptions to claim under the warranty, you may contact admin@mastex.com.au if a defect covered by the warranty arises in your product within the warranty period. Hototool will rectify the defect by, at our choice, either repairing the defective product or replacing it with a product of same or similar type and condition.
Hototool products marked as being a special or a limited edition cannot be guaranteed in case of replacement to be replaced with an identical product.
The warranty does not cover the costs of consequential damage or indirect loss or any related expense of claiming under the warranty, such as loss from inability to operate the product. Products which are developed especially for use in the country in which they are sold, e.g. due to varying transmission systems and approval demands, are not covered by this warranty if defects or malfunctions are caused by the usage of the product in another country.
