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.
The benefits given by this warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies you have under the Australian Consumer Law and other laws. Nothing in this document excludes, restricts or modifies those rights.

2.2 When the Warranty Starts
Your warranty starts 30 days after AERL dispatches the product, whether AERL sends it to you, your installer or the business you bought it from. If the product connects to AERL Cloud before then, the warranty starts on the day it first connects instead.
A product that fails after AERL dispatches it but before its warranty starts is also covered.
AERL can tell you the start and end dates of your warranty from the serial number.

3. What the Warranty Covers
If a fault is covered by this warranty, AERL will, at its discretion:
repair or replace the product, with new, used or refurbished products or parts of similar age and condition, or
if the product is no longer available or cannot be repaired, refund the unused part of the original price.
A repaired or replaced product is covered for the rest of the original warranty period.
You pay to send a faulty product to AERL when AERL asks for it to be returned; AERL pays to return the repaired or replacement product.
Goods 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 goods.

AERL may ask for:
the product model number
the serial number of the product
the invoice or other evidence of purchase
a full description of the fault
recent photos of the installation, clearly showing the product's location, environment and installation quality
the details of the connected power conversion equipment (PCE)

Do not send a product to AERL without a Return Materials Authorisation (RMA) number.
