If it is determined to be a GWG product issue, GWG will cover the inspection costs but must be informed and give consent beforehand.
GWG reserves the right in installment sales to grant credit for the value of any Product found to be defective under this Warranty.
This Warranty applies only to the original purchaser of the Product(s).
GWG’s obligation under this Warranty is limited to GWG’s own option to either repair or replace the Product(s) once GWG has deemed that the Product is defective or GWG may at its own discretion refund to the Buyer the purchase price paid for the defective product(s).

This Warranty does not cover any Product that is relocated from the site of its original installation with the exception of:
1. Customers having a valid lifetime warranty with GWG and

It is expressly agreed that this shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer stated herein and under no circumstances shall GWG be liable for any costs, losses, expenses, damages, special damages, incidental damages, or consequential damages arising directly or indirectly from the design, manufacture, sale, use, or repair of the Product(s), whether based upon warranty, contract, tort, or strict liability.
All Conditions and Warranties implied by law or statute are hereby expressly negatived so far as they lawfully can be.

ACCEPTANCE AND CLAIMS

Acceptance of the Products shall be deemed for all purposes to have taken place at the expiration from the date of each delivery. Any damage caused during or as a result of transit will not be the responsibility of GWG. Any faulty systems must be returned with the Pressure Limiting Valve. In the event of a Warranty Claim, the Product must be forwarded at the Buyer’s own risk and expense to GWG together with proof of purchase. This limited Warranty is void if the Product under Warranty is presented without the said original invoice.
GWG may request that a Statement accompany the Original Invoice signed by the Buyer setting out the following terms:
1. The name and address of the Buyer.
2. The date and by whom the Product was purchased.
3. The date and by whom the Product was installed.
4. The location where the Product was installed.
5. The date and time the Product first appeared to malfunction.
6. The nature of the problem with the Product.
7. The date and time of any and all loss event/s.
8. The date and time GWG was first notified of the Product malfunction.
A failure by the Buyer to submit the said Statement within 28 days after such request is made by GWG will automatically void the Warranty. A failure to answer truthfully or to answer in a way that is misleading entitles GWG to void the Warranty and to notify the police in the event of suspected fraudulent conduct.

RISK

The risk in the Product will pass to the Buyer 7 days after delivery for supply-only customers directly purchased from GWG, allowing time for the customer to inspect the system.

RETENTION OF TITLE

GWG will retain title to (but not risk) in the products(s) delivered to you until GWG has received payment in full for such product from the Buyer regardless of whether installed or not and regardless of the location of the product(s).
The Buyer will store the goods in such a way as to enable them to be separately identified and will keep them insured at its own expense with GWG’s interest noted on any such insurance cover.
You must not offer, sell, assign, sublet, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise deal with the product(s) that would detract GWG’s ownership of the product(s) until the Price and any other payment or sum due to GWG is paid by you.
If the Buyer fails to make any payment when due or becomes bankrupt or becomes insolvent or has a judgement entered against it in any Court or enters into any scheme of arrangement, composition, or assignment or is in receivership or voluntary administration or liquidation, the Buyer grants GWG the licence to enter any of the Buyer’s premises where the Product is stored and without notice to re-take possession of and remove at the Buyer’s cost and expense the Product in respect of which title has not passed to the Buyer.

RIGHTS FORFEITED

The Buyer forfeits any right or claim against GWG warranty if:
1. The System is operated with a water temperature higher than 42° Celsius. However, we strongly recommend bypassing the system for at least 15-30 minutes daily if the outside temperature exceeds 40° Celsius. All taps should be opened during this process. The System is not serviced every 12 months or in accordance with the standard change period on the Filter Change Schedule. However, customers need to bypass the system and flush for 15 minutes every 6-12 months. If the source water is not chlorinated town water, filters need to be removed and disinfectant added.
2. If you are away from home for more than 24 hours, we recommend flushing the system for 15-30 minutes and bypassing the system for another 15 minutes upon return. All taps should be opened during this process.
3. The System damage results from water hammer, freezing, neglect, or is not installed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the AS3500 plumbing code installation and plan.
4. The System is subject to water pressure that exceeds the maximum recommended pressure. The System is not installed with an Australian Standards approved Pressure Limiting and Dual Check Valve.
5. The System has been found to be tampered with or if the goods have not been operated or maintained strictly in accordance with GWG’s recommendations.

DEFAULT

On the happening of any one or more of the following events namely:
1. You fail to make payment to GWG on the due date.
2. An administrator or liquidator is appointed over any or all of the assets of the Buyer or a scheme of arrangements is proposed to approve with respect to the buyer.
3. In the case of you being a natural person, the Buyer commits an act of bankruptcy; then GWG may at its option exercise all or any of the following rights (notwithstanding any prior failure to exercise such rights):
  1. Demand payment of the whole of the monies owing from you to GWG and you agree to pay the same immediately.
  2. You shall pay to GWG interest on such amount outstanding at the rate of 2% per month and any costs with respect to solicitors, legal advisors, mercantile agents, and other agents acting on behalf of GWG in respect of any enforcement hereof or recovery or attempted recovery of monies owing by you to GWG.

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

You (customer) acknowledge that you have been informed that:

The water softening/at-scale cartridge (if selected) may help reduce limescale damage but will not completely eliminate it.
Unless via Reverse Osmosis (3 Stages of POU), the TDS reading will not change as the structure of the hard particles are changed, not eliminated.
I have been informed that standard tap water provided by utility providers complies with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines and that more information about this can be found on their websites.
Water pressure is normally not noticeably affected, however in a small number of installations with pre-existing low-pressure readings where the system is installed prior to reticulation, low pressure heads may be required.
In no way has Good Water Group Australia or its authorized agents/contractors represented or informed me that unfiltered/unrefined water is unsafe or dangerous.
Filter changes are required between 12-18 months depending on water quality and usage. Any verbal representations by consultants must be confirmed in writing on the contract.
For Credit Card & EFT payment, the invoice must be paid in full prior to or on the day of installation.
Payment plan (“water as a service”) customers – I have completed the application myself and am informed the account keeping fee is not included in the contract.
We have provided you with a link to our marketing disclaimer which offers comprehensive details on all product-related claims and encompasses hard copy marketing materials and email attachments. This disclaimer ensures you have a complete understanding of the information presented. https://www.goodwatergroup.com.au/marketing-disclaimer.
We have informed you that you also need to regularly disinfect the system. For example, periodically bypassing the system so that all pipes are flushed with chlorine-containing water. This ensures that all indoor pipes are cleaned. You need to flush all taps and shower heads for at least 15-30 minutes. It is recommended to perform this every 3-6 months.
The frequency at which you should change the filter depends on your usage and the quality of the water in your area. The recommended intervals for filter replacement and the maximum lifespan provided above are based on typical Australian tap water quality and the average water usage of a household with three people.
Provides a free sediment filter every 6 months for POE 3 Stages System users, regardless of clogging.
No freight charges for filter replacements, including free sediment filters. However, for the free sediment filter within the POE 3 stages system, GWG will no longer cover shipping costs once the warranty period ends. If the warranty is renewed through our warranty renewal program, we will continue to cover shipping. Otherwise, customers must pick up the filters from our warehouse, where they will be free.
Honors warranty upon system relocation with advance notice. This includes product warranty only and does not cover external plumbing parts installed by third parties.
For subscription customers we will make sure that your filters are either delivered to you or replaced (depending on the specific subscription service you have chosen) according to the mentioned recommended filter change schedule.
For models not listed here and for filters used irregularly please refer to the GWG website for recommended filter change intervals or contact our office for more details.
Economical filter changes available through a subscription plan. More information: https://www.goodwatergroup.com.au/filter-subscription. Prices subject to change. GWG has the responsibility to make every effort to stabilize filter replacement prices, which is in the best interest of both GWG and its customers.
Wholesale customers’ end users must register the warranty themselves or through a third-party company at https://www.goodwatergroup.com.au/warrantyregistration. This ensures GWG’s system records the customer’s eligibility for warranty extension. If the end user does not purchase filters from GWG or reach the minimum $330 spend, they will not be eligible for the warranty extension. Furthermore, if purchased through a wholesale (reseller) channel, the end user must register the warranty within 60 days of installation to receive the free sediment filter and to be eligible for the GWG POE 3 Stages warranty extension program.
