Consumer Guarantee
If you believe an item is faulty, you may have rights to a remedy under the New Zealand Consumer Law. However the New Zealand Consumer Law does recognise that the relevant time period may vary by product (or service) depending on the nature of the goods (or service), the price paid and any representations made about the goods (or service).
Where you believe an item is faulty, it may be necessary for us to send your goods to the manufacturer or their service agent for it to be assessed within a reasonable period of time. If there is a major failure with the item, we may choose to refund, exchange or repair. If the failure is minor, we will repair the item (or, at our discretion, we may replace the item or refund you) within a reasonable time.
Where an item is damaged through misuse, by accident or abnormal use, Airflow Engineering will not provide a refund, exchange, repair or pay for shipping. Airflow Engineering will require satisfactory proof of purchase before providing a remedy under the New Zealand Consumer Law.
