WARRANTY POLICY


Standard Warranty Guidelines

The benefits provided to you by this contractual product warranty are in addition to other rights and remedy available to you under the law.

Original Purchaser

Our warranty only applies to the original purchaser from where the purchase was made from our au.walkingpad.com online store or authorised WalkingPad Reseller only and is strictly not transferable. If the serial number is removed, altered or defaced, the warranty is void. All warrantees commence on the date of purchase.

Parts Replacement & Repairs

After determining whether there are manufacturer faults or damages to the product, WalkingPad will determine, in its discretion, the reasonable call to action method to remedy the issues. For most issues, parts can be easily changed over, and for these issues, WalkingPad will send through the relevant part to fit on. In the unlikely event of a major fault, and we will request the item back for repairs or replacement, which is at WalkingPad' discretion at the time of assessment.

WalkingPad reserves the right to replace the relevant part with the same or equivalent Product or part, rather than repair or replace it. If a replacement is provided, WalkingPad will determine, in its discretion, the closest product within the then current range of products offered by WalkingPad with which to replace the faulty or damaged product. The replacement product may differ with the replaced product in size and specifications, at the reasonable election of WalkingPad. WalkingPad may replace parts with refurbished parts.

Bringing the product back

We recommend that you keep your original product packaging if possible. In the unlikely event that you require a warranty repair and you do not have the original packaging, you will bear the responsibility for safely packaging your product for transport and WalkingPad accepts no liability for any damage that may occur in transit. If your product was picked up at any of our authorised distribution centers, you are responsible for bringing or shipping the product back to the original place of purchase for repairs & warranty.

Where WalkingPad authorises warranty service of a product, depending on the issue, WalkingPad may organise for our authorised courier to pick up the product (when safely and securely packaged for transport) during business hours between 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and deliver it to the appropriate repair centre. For smaller products, we may supply a pre-paid postage label for the product to be returned via our chosen carrier to be delivered to the appropriate repair centre. This may include dropping off at a courier’s depot or local post office (for Australia Post Reply Paid return labels).

Proof of Purchase & Information Assessment

Proof or purchase (invoice or paid order confirmation) must be provided when requesting warranty repair or replacements.

In order to assess damages or faults, photographic evidence must be submitted to the Technical Support team (support@au.walkingpad.com) for review, before the product can be repaired or replaced in accordance with these terms.

Our warranty period only covers parts replacement and does not include call-outs which will be separately charged. Please note that in some areas, call outs may not be available. Additional labour charges may apply for any additional work performed on-site.
