About PB Care

Your Rights

Your rights and remedies under PB Care give to your rights over and above the Consumer

All Products Must:

- be of acceptable quality (durable, safe, ft for purpose, free from defects, acceptable in look or fnish)
- be fit for any particular purpose you have told the supplier
- match a description, sample or model shown to you
- have good legal title, e.g. be able to be sold and not have any security interests registered against them
- be a reasonable price if no price is set
- arrive on time (within a reasonable time if not agreed) and in good condition
- have spare parts and repair facilities available (manufacturer is responsible). This does not apply if you are told about limited availability before you buy.

In order to be eligible for the PB Care, the manufacturer's warranty must provide at least 1 year parts and labour coverage. The PB Care covers all mechanical and electrical defects that would normally be covered by the manufacturer's written warranty, unless otherwise stated in the following terms and conditions.
2. PB Technologies reserves the right to claim under any relevant manufacturer's warranty, and PB Technologies will deal with the manufacturer as required in order to meet its PB Care obligations.
3. The PB Care commences from the date of purchase, and extends the manufacturer's 1 or 2 year warranty to 2 or 3 years as specifed in the PB CARE option you select (3 months to 1 year warranty for Off-lease/Ex-lease Products).
4. The PB Care is only valid for the product with the serial number recorded in the original proof of purchase (Invoice).
5. PB Care is for the repair or replacement of faulty components with components of the same value or comparable quality. The decision to repair or replace a component or a product during the PB Care period will be made solely by PB Technologies in respect of an initial product failure. However, if the product fails 3 or more times, the client can request a replacement product, rather than a repair.
6. PB Technologies will provide services during normal business hours and business days and therefore will be closed on Weekend and Public Holidays.

8. The original proof of purchase must be provided by clients to claim the warranty/services. Clients will be charged a service fee for the services rendered if such documentation is not available.
9. Clients are responsible for delivery of the warranted item to PB Technologies so it can be inspected and repaired or replaced unless the warranted item is a Television (50" and over only) and you are located within 30km of a PB Technologies store in which case PB Technologies will either cover the cost of an onsite service call to carry out an inspection / repair or arrange collection of the item.
