Australian Consumer Law
Notwithstanding anything in these Terms of Trade, consumers may have the benefit of certain rights or remedies pursuant to Australian Consumer Law in respect of which liability may not be excluded. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. Consumers are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Consumers 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. To claim this warranty, the consumer must inform Data#3 (by providing notice to the address set out in these terms of trade) of a warranty issue within the warranty time period specified by the relevant goods manufacturer. Data#3 will assist the consumer with claiming the warranty from the relevant goods manufacturer. The relevant goods manufacturer will provide details as to who will bear the expense of claiming the warranty and (if applicable) how the consumer can claim expenses incurred in making the claim. The benefits to the consumer given by the consumer warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies of the consumer under a law in relation to the goods to which the warranty relates.

To the extent permitted by law, and except as set out in these Terms of Trade, we:
(a) provide the Goods and Consulting Services to you on an “AS IS” basis;
(b) exclude all warranties and conditions, express, implied or statutory (including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, lack of viruses, uninterrupted or error free operation, accuracy or completeness of responses or results, lack of workmanlike effort or non-infringement) regarding the Goods and Consulting Services provided to you; and
(c) limit the remedies available for a breach of any warranty given to you to the lesser of and to the extent that such breach of warranty is capable of remedy by employing commercially reasonable efforts (as determined by us acting reasonably and in good faith), the cost of repairing or replacing those Goods and Consulting Services; or paying the cost of having those Goods and Consulting Services repaired or replaced (as the context admits).
