Consumer Rights
Australia Only:
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.
New Zealand Only:
This warranty is subject to the conditions and guarantees mandated by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (NZ).
Repairs and Spare Parts
If your Fiamma product is not covered by warranty or requires spare parts, contact Camping Australia or your retailer for assistance. Only use genuine Fiamma spare parts to ensure compatibility and performance.
Costs Associated with Warranty Claims
Camping Australia or the supplier covers costs directly related to repairing or replacing defective Fiamma products under warranty. However:
- You are responsible for delivery, insurance, travel, and inspection/testing costs unless the claim is verified.
- Additional work beyond fixing the defect (e.g., third-party testing or repairs without prior authorization) is at your expense.
- If no defect is found, a $45.00 AUD (plus GST) inspection fee plus freight costs may apply.
Warranty Limitations
The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. Fiamma and Camping Australia are not liable for:
