If the supply of the products to you is a consumer sale pursuant to the New Zealand Consumer Law, the following statement applies. In the following statement, ‘our’ means King and ‘you’ means the purchaser:
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the New Zealand Consumer Law. The remedy you will be entitled to if a product fails depends on whether the failure is substantial or minor and whether or not the fault can be xed. In the case of a minor failure we can choose to replace or repair the product, or offer you a refund if we cannot reasonably be expected to repair the product. If we do not remedy the fault or take too long to remedy it you may be able to elect to have the fault xed by a third party and recover the cost from us (subject to certain conditions). If there is a failure of a substantial character, you are entitled to return the product for a replacement, or a refund or keep the product and claim compensation for any reduction in the value of the product below the price paid or payable. You may also be able to claim compensation for other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage resulting from the failure. If you discover a fault or failure with the product, please contact us as soon as possible. Where the failure is of a substantial character and you intend to request a refund for the product, you must contact us within a reasonable period, otherwise you might lose your right to that refund. The benefits given by this Warranty are additional to other rights and remedies that you may have in relation to our products. Any paragraph of this Warranty which is unenforceable or void is to be severed and the rest of this Warranty will remain in force.
