Unless otherwise provided by law, you will bear any costs incurred in making a claim under this warranty.
- Goods that you purchase from us may contain warranty documents on or inside the packaging provided by the manufacturer of the product. Any such warranty documents are not given by gleninnes.store, and are separate from any warranty given by us. Some warranty documents provided by manufacturers of imported goods may not apply in Australia. You should contact the manufacturer identified on the warranty document to determine whether or not the warranty applies to the goods in Australia and, if so, how you should go about making a claim under such a warranty.
17. Process for Returns and Refunds
