(b) Any advice provided by Fuel Economy Solutions relating to installation is given to help Customers purchase Products which may add or maintain the value of their vehicles. Fuel Economy Solutions disclaims that any advice given is not professional installation advice or instruction. We highly recommend that Customers who wish to install or use a Product themselves obtain the necessary installation advice or instructions from an experienced professional installer, or from a published and credible source of installation advice. Fuel Economy Solutions disclaims any liability for such advice.
(c) Due to the fact that the sale of Products are through Internet transactions, Fuel Economy Solutions cannot assist in the installation of the Product beyond what is available on the Site and written instructions included by the manufacturer sent with your Product purchase. It is therefore the Customer’s responsibility to facilitate the installation of all Products purchased using their own means. Fuel Economy Solutions cannot be held liable for any difficulties or loss arising from the installation or usage of a Product.
5.8 Performance levels
(a) Customers acknowledge and agree that these performance levels are an approximation only. The performance of the Products depends on the compatibility of the Product with your vehicle and its proper installation and use.
5.9 Warranty
(a) Warranty coverage begins on the Product purchase date and runs until 30 days (the Warranty Period).
(b) Fuel Economy Solutions warrants to the Customer that the Fuel Economy Solutions Product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the duration specified above, which duration begins on the date of purchased by the Customer.
(c) Fuel Economy Solutions Limited warranty covers only those defects that arise as a result of normal use of the Product, and does not cover any other problems, including those that arise as a result of improper installation, maintenance or modification; the use of alternative parts or supplies not provided or supported by Fuel Economy Solutions; operation outside the Product’s specifications; unauthorised modification or misuse.
(d) This warranty only covers the Product only, not accessories, or shipping costs, there and back, and does not cover Products that have been re-manufactured, reverse engineered, cut or sawed into, or tampered with in any way after purchase.
(e) If Fuel Economy Solutions receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any Product, which is covered by this warranty, Fuel Economy Solutions shall either repair or replace the Product, at Fuel Economy Solutions option. If Fuel Economy Solutions is unable to repair or replace, a defective Product, which is covered by this warranty, Fuel Economy Solutions shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price of the Product as long as the defect is reported to Fuel Economy Solutions within the Warranty Period.
(f) Fuel Economy Solutions Products must be properly installed in order to function as designed. It is recommended that a certified vehicle mechanic perform installation. Every effort has been made to provide detailed installation instructions. These directions are packed with each unit and must be followed to avoid installation errors that could cause a unit to malfunction. This warranty does not cover non-performance of units improperly installed. The installer is responsible to the Customer for his or her installation and for correcting an improper installation.
(g) In the unlikely event that there are missing parts or components that should have been included with the Products, those missing parts or components will be shipped to customer upon notification to Fuel Economy Solutions.

(d) The expense of all postage or shipping from a Customer to Fuel Economy Solutions shall be the responsibility of the Customer.
(e) Proof of purchase is required when returning any parts.
(f) As per the Australian Consumer Law, in the event of a minor problem with a Product, Fuel Economy Solutions may choose to give Customers a free repair instead of a replacement or refund. We will repair or replace any defective parts against manufacture defects, determined after the arrival of the defective parts. We will test each part to determine if the part is covered under our warranty, determined by the manufacturer. Repaired Products will be returned to fulfil the remainder of the Product’s original warranty duration.
(g) However, in the case of a major Product defect, the Customer is entitled to their choice of a replacement or refund. Fuel Economy Solutions may refuse to give the Customer a replacement or refund if the Customer had a change of mind, misused the Product in any way that contributed to the defect, made an act or omission in a certain way against the advice of Fuel Economy Solutions, or the defect is completely outside Fuel Economy Solutions’ control.
5.11 Warranty disclaimers and limitations
