THE SWATCH WARRANTY (EXCEPT USA)
WARRANTY
NOTE: If you purchased your SWATCH® watch in Australia or New Zealand, the International SWATCH® Warranty contained in the booklet with this watch and on the SWATCH® website (www.swatch.com) does NOT apply to you, and is replaced by this Australian / New Zealand Warranty (referred to below as the "Warranty").
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS
The benefits given to you under this Warranty are additional to, and do not detract from, other rights and remedies that you may have in relation to your SWATCH® watch and its purchase under Australian or New Zealand laws, including consumer protection laws.
In Australia, 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.
In New Zealand, our goods also come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act.
This Warranty:
- Is not intended to change or exclude any statutory or consumer rights that cannot be lawfully changed or excluded;
- Is independent of any warranty that may be provided by the seller, for which he carries sole responsibility; and
- Does not affect your rights against the seller, including any mandatory statutory rights you may have against the seller under local consumer laws.
