Assessment Process

Australian Consumer Law

07

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.
  • You are entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
  • Nothing in these store policies excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights you may have under law.

Warranty Summary

08

Standard Warranty

  • Jila Water systems include a standard 3-year parts warranty unless otherwise stated in writing.

Extended Warranty

  • Extended warranty support of up to 10 years may be available where genuine Jila Water replacement filters are used.
  • Filters must be replaced every 12 months or as otherwise directed by Jila Water.
  • Proof of maintenance may be required, including photos of removed filters or purchase records.

Warranty Exclusions

  • Labour, service call-out costs, freight, and consumables unless otherwise required by law.
  • Improper installation, misuse, neglect, freezing, impact damage, or failure to maintain the system.
  • Water conditions, pressure, or plumbing conditions outside the intended design parameters of the system.

Filter Replacement Policy

09
  • Filtration systems require periodic maintenance and annual filter replacement to maintain performance.
  • Jila Water may send replacement reminders around the 12-month mark.
  • Failure to replace filters when required may reduce system effectiveness and may affect extended warranty eligibility.
Fresh resin requirement Mixed bed resin filters need to be fresh when fitted. Because resin media can dry out or degrade in performance over time if stored or shipped too early, Jila Water may hold certain replacement filters and dispatch them closer to the required fitting date.

Limitation of Liability

10
  • To the extent permitted by law, Jila Water is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses.
  • Jila Water is not responsible for loss arising from incorrect installation, plumbing failure, misuse, neglect, or delayed maintenance.
  • Jila Water is not liable for delays outside of its reasonable control.
  • Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
