Sennheiser Australia Warranty
When you purchase a Sennheiser product, you have the peace of mind in knowing that our products are ordinarily covered by Sennheiser’s International Warranty. The warranty period begins on the date of purchase of brand new, unused product(s) by the first end user. The Sennheiser International Warranty is provided by SENNHEISER Australia Pty Limited (“Sennheiser ANZ”).
1.General
1.1. The benefits given to you in the Sennheiser warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies you have under law.
1.2. 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 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.
1.3. Subject to 1.2 above and the Terms below, Sennheiser agrees to repair or replace at Sennheiser’s cost, product(s) purchased by an end user in Australia from a Sennheiser authorised dealer, when the product does not perform in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications during the warranty term specified on the product packaging or in the user manual.
1.4. If the product covered by the warranty is no longer available in Australia, you will be offered a refund or a comparable Sennheiser product as a replacement.
2. Making a Warranty Claim

2.2 Alternatively, the end user can contact us, where we will deal with the claim.

2.4 The following are acceptable as proof of purchase:
- Authorised dealers Purchase Receipt (Tax Invoice);
- Credit / Bank card statement (but must show date of purchase); or

2.5 Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
