The replacement Product may differ with the replaced Product in size and specifications, at the reasonable election of Distillery King. Distillery King may replace parts with refurbished parts.

Where Distillery King authorises warranty service of a Product, Distillery King will organise for our authorised courier to pick up the Product during business hours (between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday) and deliver it to the appropriate authorised repair centre, provided that the Product is safely and securely packaged for safe transport. If Distillery King deems it appropriate, We may alternatively supply a pre-paid postage label for the Product to be returned via our chosen carrier to the authorised repair centre. In this situation Distillery King will cover the cost of transport of the serviced Product to and from the Customer. Alternatively, the Customer may take the Product to the appropriate repair centre for service if Distillery King specifically authorises the Customer in writing to do so. Alternately, the Customer may post the Product as directed by Distillery King if Distillery King specifically authorises the Customer in writing to do so, in which case Distillery King will refund the Customer the cost of the postage on provision of a scanned copy of the postage receipt. Where the customer is located outside Australia, Distillery King may require that the Product be sent to Australia, as directed by Distillery King.
The Customer is responsible to inspect all goods received from Distillery King upon arrival.
