You are also entitled to product replacement or repair if the products are deemed to not be usable or failure does not result in completely non-usable products.
OTHER CONDITIONS
• The first date of purchase is when the warranty period begins. Warranty periods will NOT be renewed or extended after a product repair or replacement.

WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
Conditions and warranties are excluded to the extent that they are permitted by law. The warranty conditions set out by Topo are considered null and void if a defect, malfunction, or failure is caused by:

• Use of a product for purposes other than those it was created or designed for.
• Neglect, poor handling, and/or accidental damage.
• Third-party alterations, repairs, and “mods”/modifications without the expressed written permission by Topo.

COSTS NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE TOPO WARRANTY
This Warranty shall not apply to nor cover any of the following circumstances or costs:
• In all sales where the law does not exclude such limitations
• In a sale to a Consumer where the exclusion is prohibited except where the product is used for a personal domestic or household use and the product is not used for those purposes:
1. TOPO will take reasonable steps to provide product service and provide replacement parts where it is commercially prudent and possible to do so.
2. Repaired or exchanged items are warranted for the longer of the balance of the original product Warranty or 90 days from the date of service completion (whether warranty service or otherwise) on the same terms and conditions as the original warranty.
3. This Warranty is personal to the person or organisation that acquires the product from a TOPO or an authorised Reseller and may not be transferred to a subsequent owner (other that as provided in the Australian Consumer law)
4. If Courier Pickup and Return is required for your product, you are required to contact TOPO to arrange this service using TOPO designated freight carrier. TOPO will not accept charges or liability for any freight arranged by you. Please ensure that the product is sufficiently padded and boxed for transport.
5. TOPO does not accept any responsibility for damaged product in transport due to inappropriate packaging. This courier service is only applicable between your location and TOPO and may not be available in some areas. Transport time varies depending on location.
6. In sales to persons who are not defined as Consumers under the Australian Consumer Law and in sales to Consumers where products are NOT used for personal domestic or household purposes, TOPO liability is limited to the actual cost of repair or replacement of the product and does not extend to any other loss of whatsoever nature or howsoever incurred including any form of consequential damage or loss .
7. In the event of the product being incapable of repair or replacement TOPO may in its absolute discretion elect to refund the purchase price (actually paid by the customer) of the product in full discharge of its liability under this warranty.(except for sales to Consumers who in the case of a ‘major’ failure may elect a replacement or a refund).
8. Non-authorised disassembly of any product or attempted repair by persons not accredited or authorised by TOPO will void its warranty. This includes removal of covers or the replacement of internal fuses.

10. If there is no fault found with the product a service fee will apply, plus any return freight charges, prior to the product being released. If the product is out of warranty the service fee will be included in the quote for repair. If the quote for repair is denied then the service fee will apply plus freight before the goods are released
(Explanation- Occasionally TOPO will receive a product that it cannot fault. Even after hours of testing some products will not fail. If the product cannot be faulted we cannot process a warranty or repair, and we are entitled to recover our time and costs.)
IF NO FAULT IS FOUND
A service fee of $88, inclusive of GST will apply
ACTIONS WE RECOMMEND PRIOR TO RETURNING BATTERY CHARGERS, INVERTERS & INVERTER CHARGERS
To reduce the chances of sending us a product we cannot fault, we ask that you perform the following tests prior to returning the product:
1. Battery Condition: Please check the condition of the battery (specific gravity, shorted plates etc)
2. Quality of Power Supply: Stability of Power Supply is important for the correct operation of electrical products. Voltage spikes, low or excess voltage can all affect the performance of the product.
3. Excessive Load: If you are returning an inverter that is cutting out please ensure that the load being supplied does not exceed that of the product. It is worth noting that some microwaves may say 600W but in fact draw up to 1500W when heating.
Other Non-Included Warranty Items
• Any property or personal damage/injury, direct/indirect loss, consequential losses, and supplementary expenses are excluded to the extent that they are permitted by law.
• Changes in product condition or operational ability resulting from incorrect storage, fitting, application, maintenance, environment, or others as described and permitted by law.
• Extreme weather conditions.
