Terms, Conditions, and Important Information

This Extended Warranty (also called Warranty Upgrade) program is operated by GM Multimedia Pty. Ltd.
GM Warranties Extended Warranty provides additional value added services on top of your manufacturer warranty and entitlements under Australian Consummer Law. You are not required to pay for Australian Consumer Laws consumer guarantees. An Extended Warranty provides benefits which may overlap with your Australian Consumer Laws rights.
GM Multimedia reserves the right to suspend or cancel any extended warranty program if you fail to pay by the due date shown on your GM Multimedia Tax Invoice.
GM Multimedia extended warranties are only valid if the extended warranty is purchased within 30 days of the original purchase of the product from GM Multimedia.
Extended warranty is not valid on items where the serial number has been defaced, removed, or is no longer legible. Serial numbers are required for verification.

Extended Warranties commence when the included warranty period, as advertised on Just Projectors, has expired. Warranty upgrades can be purchased to increase your warranty length up to 4 years total coverage (including the manufacturer warranty that was already provided at time of purchase). For example, if your projector comes with a 2 year warranty you can add on up to 2 years more. If your projector comes with a 3 year warranty, you can add 1 year more. If your projector already comes with a 4 or 5 year warranty no upgrade is available.

Product Replacement

At GM Multimedia’s sole discretion we may replace your product with a product of similar specification if a repair is deemed to be too costly. The replacement product will be supplied by GM Multimedia and will be of similar specification limited to the original purchase price of your product. As technology products generally fall in price overtime the replacement product may have a lower selling price and may be a different brand. Any difference in replacement price to the original purchase price will not be refunded. GM Multimedia’s extended warranty does not guarantee new for old replacement. Upon issue of a replacement product, store credit, or negotiated refund this will void any remaining term of your Extended Warranty.

Use of Refurbished Parts

Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type. Refurbished or new parts may be used to repair goods.

Loss of Data

During the process of repair, goods that are capable of retaining user-generated data may result in some or all of your stored data being lost. Lost data may include but is not limited to, projector settings, customised programming, files stored on projectors inbuilt memory. GM Multimedia is not responsible for any backing up or loss of data incurred nor does GM Multimedia cover any operating system or software.

No Lemon Guarantee

Where a product has had any three failures during the extended warranty period and under the terms and conditions of this product GM Multimedia will, on the fourth occasion, provide a Product Replacement (please see ‘Product Replacement’ for terms and conditions of replaced goods).
