Product Warranty

Warranty and Consumer Guarantees apply in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law.

Sleeping Giant requires all Warranty Claims to be lodged directly to the store of purchase or via the Sleeping Giant Website. Returns for any products will not be accepted without approval from the Warranty & Claims department. If approved, It is the responsibility of the customer to return any product that is deemed faulty to the Store of purchase. You may be required to pay labour, assessment and/or freight fees, such as where goods are assessed to have been damaged by misuse or accident, or where your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or any manufacturer’s warranty do not apply.

If there is found to be a manufacturing fault when goods are unpacked, it is the customer’s responsibility to report any faults with photo evidence to the Store of Purchase or Warranty & Claims Department within two working days of delivery. Sleeping Giant is not responsible for any damages that may occur, resulting from you not checking condition of goods.
