Product Warranties

Many of PPG’s paints come with product guarantees.  The terms of which are found here

Statutory Rights

Products may come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)). Nothing in these terms operates to limit or exclude liability that cannot by law be limited or excluded.  

Consumer Guarantee Statement: The benefits of these product guarantees are in addition to other rights and remedies of a consumer under the law in relation to the products. If you are a consumer and the products are of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use and consumption, or cost less than $40,000, and are not re-supplied by you, you may be entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You also may be entitled to have the products repaired or replaced if the products fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. These statutory guarantees give you certain rights that we cannot exclude, restrict or modify, except in the limited circumstances as outlined more fully in the Australian Consumer Law.  If a product we supply to you fails to meet a statutory guarantee and that failure cannot be remedied or is a “major failure”, subject to the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to return the product to us and receive a full refund or replacement (at your election). Alternatively, you may (at your election) choose to keep the product and recover from us the difference between the price you paid for the product and the value of the product. As outlined more fully in the Australian Consumer Law, if a product we supply to you fails to meet a statutory guarantee and that failure can be remedied and is not a “major failure”, subject to the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to ask us to remedy the failure. We are entitled to choose how we remedy the failure, including by either: (a) repairing the products; (b) replacing the products; or (c) by providing a full refund. You accept and acknowledge that the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law will determine: (a) which products are covered by such statutory guarantees; and (b) our liability to you for any failure of a product to meet a statutory guarantee. 

If you think that there is a fault with the products you have received, please let us know straight away by contacting us at info-colourswatchshop@ppg.com. Please include as many details as possible about the order and the problem with the products.

All warranties will still apply.

All competitions and these terms and conditions will be governed by Victorian law and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.

General

We will not be liable for any delay in performing any of our obligations under these Terms if such delay is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. 

If we do not exercise or enforce any right or provision under these Terms, it will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision under these Terms will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by us.

If any provision of these Terms are determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

Updates to Terms

We reserve the right to make any changes and corrections to these terms at any time.  Any change of the Terms is effective from the next time you visit the website or place an order acknowledging and agreeing to the current terms and conditions.
