Warranty Exclusions and Limitations

This section applies to the extent permitted by law and only covers genuine Brother products imported by Brother South Africa (PTY) LTD.

This warranty does not include needles, belts, springs, lamp bulbs, bobbins, blades, etc which normally require replacement from time to time and maintenance kits (periodic or otherwise), accessories and consumable items, operation of product outside the manufacturer specifications, cleaning, normal wear and tear, damage caused by accident, neglect, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation, acts of God (including but not limited to lightning, flood, earthquake and fire), foreign matter entering the product such as liquid, moisture, insect infestation or dirt or any damage caused from service, maintenance, modification or tampering by anyone other than a Brother authorised repairer, or with the use of supplies, consumable items, or add on products that are non-genuine Brother products.
Repairs

Products presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished products of the same type, rather than being replaced. Replacement or repairing of the product or part thereof does not extend or restart the Warranty Term. If a product presented for repair is capable of retaining user-generated data, you are advised that the repair of the product may result in loss of this data.
Reimbursments

Brother, its Technical Support Centres or authorised on site technicians, may seek reimbursement from you of any reasonable costs incurred by them if the products are found to be in good working order, the problem is not a consequence of a defect or manufacturing fault or where any of the warranty exclusions and limitations apply. Reasonable costs may include travel costs and parts and/or labour costs for on-site service, the costs of packaging, insurance and transportation for Carry-in service, parts and labour.
Your Rights as a Consumer

This section applies if you acquire the warranted products as a consumer as defined in the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (“CPA”).

In terms of the CPA, should our products fail to meet the implied warranty of quality contained in the CPA, you are entitled within a period of 6 months after delivery to a repair, replacement or refund in respect of the product (Subject to the other provisions of the CPA). This implied warranty of quality afforded under the CPA applies irrespective of our 3 year warranty or 5 year warranty in relation to our products.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the South African Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for 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.
