Where a law prohibits the suppliers from excluding any guarantee, condition or warranty, the suppliers’ liability in relation to a breach of that guarantee, condition or warranty may be one or more of the following (to be confirmed by the suppliers when an agreement is formed between you and the suppliers):

10.1           If there is a major problem with goods or services, you may elect to:

(c)               keep the goods and claim money for the decrease in value of the goods because of the problem;

(d)               cancel the service contract and receive a refund; or

(e)               continue with the service contract and claim money for the difference in the service provided and what was paid for.

10.2           If the problem is minor, we may at our discretion:

(a)               offer a refund;

(b)               replace the goods;

(c)               fix the title to the goods, if required;

(d)               repair the goods; or

(e)               fix the service free of charge within a reasonable time.

10.3           A major problem is when:

(a)               a reasonable consumer would not have bought the goods, or acquired the services, if they had known about the problem;

(b)               the goods differ from the description, sample or demonstration mode;

(c)               the goods or services are substantially unfit for their normal purpose and cannot easily be made fit, or the goods are unfit for the purpose required;

(d)               the goods are unfit for the purpose the consumer told the supplier about, and cannot easily be made fit;

(e)               the services do not achieve the specific result or purpose requested; or
