This Site and all products and services delivered to you through this Site are (except 
as expressly stated by us) provided 'as is' and 'as available' for your use, without any

any removed or blocked material at our discretion. If the original notifying party files 
such a legal action, we will remove or block the allegedly infringing material pending 
resolution of that legal action.

Force majeure 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and without limiting any other provision of

to add on installation services when selecting your Product by adding the installation 
service to your Order, this must be paid for at checkout.  

If you have elected to add installation services to your Order one of our customer 
service representatives will call you. As the price for the installation service is 
determined by a ‘like for like’ swap of appliances the customer service representative 
may request photos of the existing appliance to ensure that the new Product will fit, 
and also to advise of any possible additional charges that may be incurred by you 
when our installer attends your premises. 

Any additional charges that arise at the time of installation must be paid for prior to 
the installer leaving the premises. Payment can be made with one of our friendly 
technicians via Square Tap or Go Reader, or over the phone by calling 02 9621 
5440 or online via the following link theapplianceguys.simprosuite.com/payment

Once installation is completed, we will take away your old appliance should you wish 
for us to do so.
