What we’ll do for you under our ‘Peace of Mind’ Parts Warranty

At Victory, our Peace of Mind Parts Warranty is here to give you Peace of Mind, when it comes to your window furnishings.

To whom do we give this warranty?

This warranty is in addition to other legal rights you have under the law

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled:

to cancel your service contract with us; and
to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund of any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.

What we promise to do (and how we honour this warranty)

We will either repair our goods, or replace our goods with new goods, at our option, if:

the goods have a defect in the materials or workmanship, or the goods fail to operate as intended; and
you make a claim under this warranty as provided below, within the time periods set out below.

normal wear and tear;
abuse, misuse, or accident;
exposure to the elements (e.g. sun damage), or discolouration over time; installations subject to salt spray or marine influences, severe industrial or corrosive environments;
