Product Warranty for Yeelight in Australia

ABOUT THIS POLICY

All Yeelight products purchased from Panmi and its Authorised Resellers (‘Authorised Reseller’) are covered under 12-month warranty unless specified.  Returns, repairs or refunds under this warranty are facilitated to the extent permissible under Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’). Customers should contact the Authorised Reseller from which they purchased the product to receive additional warranty procedure instructions.

These warranties are only available for devices purchased from an Authorised Reseller.  For the avoidance of doubt, Panmi does not offer any warranty, and subject to the ACL is not obliged to offer any repair, replacement, refund or other remedy for devices not purchased at an Authorised Reseller.

Your rights under the Limited Product Warranty are in addition to any rights you may have under the ACL – please refer below.

LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

Panmi warrants to the original purchaser that the product shall be free from defects (‘Limited Product Warranty’), subject to the exclusions set out below. This Limited Product Warranty only applies to products purchased from Panmi and its Authorised Resellers and applies for 12-months from the date of receipt of shipment (‘Limited Product Warranty Period’).  ‘Yeelight’ branded products purchased from an Authorised Reseller have a 12-month warranty period from the date of receipt of shipment.

Panmi offers repairs as a remedy option under the Limited Product Warranty through its authorised service partners.  If you have had your device repaired under the Limited Product Warranty or consumer guarantees, then your product will continue to be covered under the consumer guarantee or the Limited Product Warranty (subject to the ACL).

For the avoidance of doubt, this Limited Product Warranty does not cover repair services separately paid for through Panmi’s authorised service centres.  The repair services warranty is available here:  https://service.panmi.com.au/.
