Warranty – Australian Consumer Law 

• As a consumer, you are entitled to certain guarantees in respect of goods and services purchased from Maxliner Australia. These guarantees are called Consumer Guarantees and are not impacted by the change of mind policy or limited by a defined timeframe. The Australian Consumer Law, however does recognise that the relevant time period may vary by product (or service) depending on the nature of the goods (or service), the price paid and any representations made about the goods (or service).
• This warranty is in addition to any rights which you may have under the Australian Consumer Law in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) which cannot be excluded by agreement.

Colour Match

• Whilst we work closely with many partners and vehicle manufacturers to ensure the best possible colour match on our products, please be aware that a vast number of variations affect the finish. These variations can occur whether the top is ordered in directly from the factory or sprayed by an in-house paint shop.
• A number of vehicles are often produced in more than one country using different formulas making an exact match 100% of the time on every colour code impossible.
• Other factors such as paint fade formula variance and the texture and material of the product can also affect the colour. For these reasons we cannot guarantee a perfectmatch on all tops, but assure you that we put every effort in to updating our formulas and finding the best possible variant on each make and model.

Water Ingress

• Please note that due to the nature of the products we supply, we cannot guarantee that every product will be 100% waterproof regardless of pricing.
• These are effectively bolt on accessories and whilst we take steps to greatly reduce water ingress it is not always possible.
