SteelSeries Products and Australian Consumer Law
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian consumer law. You are entitled to a repair,
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.
Should your product be defective, you can make a claim under Australian consumer law.
SteelSeries will provide its own remedies equivalent to those remedies in the consumer guarantee provisions of the
Australian Consumer Law at any time within 24 months of the date of purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, SteelSeries
acknowledges that the Australian Consumer Law may provide for remedies beyond 24 months for a number of its
products.

this case, the seller can choose to offer you a refund, replacement, repair or, in the case of services, resupply. If the seller
does not fix the problem or takes too long, you may be able to get it fixed by someone else and recover the costs from
the seller depending on the circumstances.
