PART I – LIMITED WARRANTY

Our goods 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 compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable 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.

​​

If you order one of our products in Australia, you have legal rights known as ‘consumer guarantees’ which apply for a reasonable time from the date of your purchase until the failure becomes apparent and regardless of the manufacturer warranty as provided in this policy. The manufacturer warranty herein applies in addition to the rights you have at law and are not intended to limit, modify or restrict your consumer guarantee rights in any way.

What is Covered
Oztech Drones warrants that each hardware product that you purchase is free from materials and workmanship defects under normal use and conditions during the warranty period. If the product fails due to a covered defect during the warranty period, Oztech Drones will provide you with a remedy under this policy. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date of purchase specified on your sales receipt or invoice unless Oztech Drones informs you otherwise in writing. The warranty period and types of after-sales service that apply to your product are set forth below in “Part II – General Terms”.

​

The benefits given by this Limited Warranty are in addition to your rights and remedies at law, including those under the Australian Consumer Law.

How to Obtain Warranty Service
If a product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain after-sales service by contacting Oztech Drones's Technical Department. You will need to provide a valid proof of purchase, receipt or Invoice number for the warranty service.

What Will Oztech Drones Do
Oztech Drones will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem by telephone, e-mail or online chat. Oztech Drones may direct you to download and install particular software updates.

​

If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or through the application of software updates, you may be required to deliver the product to Oztech Drone for further examination. Oztech Drones will arrange for repair or replacement service at no cost if the problem falls under this Limited Warranty.

Warranty Service
Customers are responsible for shipping costs when sending the product(s) in for return, repair or replacement under the Oztech Drones Warranty Service.

Customers are responsible for loss or damage to their product while it is in transit.

Oztech Drones Technician of After-sales service centres will examine the returned product to identify the problem. If it is a quality problem with the product itself, Oztech Drones will accept the test, material, labour, and delivery costs for sending the repaired product back to the customer.

If Oztech Drones determines that the product is not covered under the Oztech Drones Warranty Service, the customer will have to pay the cost of repair and return delivery prior to repairing or sending the product. Examination, material and labour costs will be charged according to the nature of the problem. We’ll tell the customer beforehand what the costs will be.

Please note that products and components presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the products.

Typical Warranty Process
Customers must notify of any warranty claim as soon as possible. Once we receive the details about the claim, a workshop staff will assess the information. (Photo and video showing the issue is always preferred. Please provide as much info as possible)

Many of the issues customers report may be a result of incorrect settings or installation - troubleshooting advice will be provided that can fix the issue instantly in many cases. However, not all problems can be fixed without physical inspection by a technician.

If the problem is not fixed - based on the information supplied, customers will be advised to either send the defective unit/part for repair/testing. Where appropriate, the customers may be supplied with new parts if the part is easy to install.

The Service Centre will then assess the damage/defect and carry out the necessary repairs and send the item back to the customer after the repaired item is tested.

All repairs and replacements will be provided completely free of charge for any product that meets the Warranty Conditions of the Manufacturer.

Damage to the product due to lack of flying experience, incorrect setup, crazy flying, negligence, dead battery, or mishandling is not covered by any of the Warranty.

Only unaltered XAG products and parts are eligible for replacement. Products and parts presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished products or parts of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the product, and repair of the product may result in loss of data if the product is capable of retaining user-generated data. The replacement product or part provided by XAG may not be new, but it will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the original product or part. A replacement product or part shall be covered for the time remaining in the original product or part’s warranty.
