Electric Fireplace Warranty Information

 

Warranty is provided in Australia by Glen Dimplex Australia Pty Ltd and in New Zealand by Glen Dimplex New Zealand Ltd (together referred as “Glen Dimplex”).

This limited warranty is provided to the first domestic purchaser of a Real Flame Electric fire. It applies from the date of purchase from or through an authorized Real Flame Electric Fire Distributor in any State or Territory of Australia and New Zealand and not transferable.

Products covered by this limited warranty have been tested and inspected prior to shipment and, subject to the provisions of this warranty, Glen Dimplex warrants such products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 2 years from the date of the first purchase of this product. The limited 2 year warranty period also applies to any implied warranties that may exist under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to the purchaser.

What is covered under this warranty?

  • In the event a repair or replacement is not commercially practicable or cannot be timely made, Glen Dimplex may, in lieu of repair or replacement choose to refund the purchase price for such product or part.
