1.1 The benefits given to you in Sony’s Standard Warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies you have under the law in relation to the products to which Sony’s Standard Warranty relates. The following statement only applies to Australian purchases: 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 and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

1.2 Subject to section 1.1 and the terms below, as your Standard Warranty Sony agrees to repair or replace at Sony’s cost the Sony product, and any Sony accessory supplied with the product, purchased by you in Australia or New Zealand from a Sony Authorised Dealer when the product does not perform in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications during the Warranty Term specified for the product in the warranty ‘Table 1’, commencing from the date of purchase. Special Conditions apply under the Standard Warranty to some products as identified in Table 1.

1.3 To make a claim under the Standard Warranty for Professional Products you will need to:

(a). In Australia contact the Sony Call Centre on 1300 367 669 to register your claim and provide the details to enable Sony to assess the claim. In New Zealand call toll free 0800 SONYNZ – 0800 766969 and follow the prompts. For both Australia and New Zealand you can also visit the Sony support section located on our website as listed below.

(c). Please note, you will need to submit proof of purchase (e.g. bill of sale, invoice or purchase receipt) with your claim.
