Statutory warranties are those which enshrined in legislation, beyond the control of manufacturers, retailers and repairers. Because these warranties are rarely understood and even more rarely used, many consumers miss out on what is their right.

“Consumer advocacy group Choice has released the findings of research commissioned by state, territory and federal agencies showing 50 per cent of shoppers are not aware of their rights on statutory warranties.”

Explanations of the the extent of Statutory warranty are beyond the scope of this site, but customers are advised to check out the ACCC Website.
