1.4 You will receive an order confirmation at the time you purchase the My Sony Care Plan. All orders are subject to acceptance by Sony. Sony will only be deemed to have accepted your offer to purchase the My Sony Care Plan when Sony sends you an email with your invoice for the My Sony Care Plan (the "Invoice Date"). Your Sony Care Plan commences on the Invoice Date and continues for the Plan Period specified in the My Sony Care Plan Bundle Table set out in the schedule to these terms and conditions. You may cancel your order for the My Sony Care Plan at any time before the Invoice Date and receive a refund by contacting Sony customer support. You cannot extend or renew your My Sony Care Plan for any further period.
My Sony Care Plan Bundles
2.1 The My Sony Care Plan Bundle Table set out in the schedule to these terms and conditions sets out the fees, benefits and further conditions applicable to each product for which the My Sony Care Plan may be available for purchase.
2.2 To make a claim under your My Sony Care Plan, you must contact Sony by phone on 1300 020 231 and:
a) notify Sony of the claim you seek to make,
b) provide valid proof of purchase, such as your invoice for the eligible Sony product and My Sony Care Plan,

2.4 Eligible Sony products presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished products of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the products. Replacement of the product or a part does not extend or restart your My Sony Care Plan.
2.5 If the eligible Sony product presented for repair is capable of retaining user-generated data, you are advised that repair of the product may result in loss of the data.
2.6 The eligible Sony product will be at the owner's risk whilst in transit to and from Sony or the Sony Authorised Service Centre, unless transported by Sony or its authorised representatives.
2.7 Sony will organise and bear the expense of transport where Sony or its authorised representatives request the eligible Sony product to be returned to Sony or the Sony Authorised Service Centre or you are otherwise required to return the eligible Sony product to receive a benefit (as described in the My Sony Care Plan Bundle Table) under your My Sony Care Plan. This will be by arrangements made with one of Sony’s courier partners or as otherwise communicated to you.
2.8 Sony, the Sony Service Centres or Sony's authorised representatives may seek reimbursement for any reasonable costs incurred when the product subject to a repair claim covered by your My Sony Care Plan is found to be in good working order and you are not otherwise entitled to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause 2.8 does not apply to any eligible Sony product 'checks' listed as a benefit in the My Sony Care Plan Bundle Table.
2.9 Under the My Sony Care Plan, Sony will make available priority access to telephone based technical support for the eligible Sony product ("Dedicated Priority Technical Support"). To access Dedicated Priority Technical Support, call 1300 020 231.

2.11 Sony will not be liable for any loss, damage or alterations to:
(1) third party hardware or software; or
(2) programs, data or information stored on any media or any part of the product, no matter how occurring; or
(3) for any loss or damage arising from loss of use, loss of profits or revenue, or for any resulting indirect or consequential loss or damage. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause does not restrict your rights for consequential losses under the Australian Consumer Law that could have been expected to result from a product's failure.
Cancelling your My Sony Care Plan
3.1 You may cancel your My Sony Care Plan at any time for any reason by calling Sony on 1300 020 231 to initiate your cancellation request, except where you have made a claim under your My Sony Care Plan and the cost of satisfying such claim exceed the pro rata refund you would be entitled to under clause 3.2.
3.2 Sony will confirm your cancellation request by email and will provide you with a pro rata refund for your My Sony Care Plan based on the percentage of the unexpired period remaining on your My Sony Care Plan from the date of cancellation as confirmed by Sony, less the amount of any claim made under your My Sony Care Plan.
3.3 If Sony refunds the cost of your eligible Sony product in accordance with your rights under Australian consumer protection laws, Sony’s Standard Warranty or any other warranty provided by Sony, Sony will cancel your My Sony Care Plan and refund the fees you paid for your My Sony Care Plan.

You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or a service does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time.

You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or service.
4.2 Your rights under your My Sony Care Plan are in addition to your statutory rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and other consumer protection laws. Nothing in these terms and conditions affects your rights under any Australian consumer law.
4.3 The following clauses apply to Sony making any changes to these terms and conditions
a) Sony may make changes to these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect updates to its services, legal requirements or business needs and will only do so to protect its legitimate business interests and to the extent reasonably necessary;
b) in the case of minor amendments which do not adversely impact you, or which are beneficial to you, other than, a change to benefits offered under a My Sony Care Plan(s), Sony may make these changes immediately by notice on the website (landing page) ;(Website);
c) where in the unlikely event Sony needs to make a change to a specific benefit offered under the My Sony Care Plan you have purchased because it can no longer be supplied, Sony will provide a similar or greater benefit, and will provide you with at least 30 days’ notice of this change to the email address you provided when purchasing your My Sony Care Plan; and
d) in some limited cases, Sony may need to amend these terms and conditions immediately without providing 30 days’ notice. For example: (a) due to a change in law; (b) unexpected technical or operational issues beyond Sony’s reasonable control or (c) where it is reasonably necessary to protect Sony’s infrastructure, systems, data, security or assets and/or your personal information (for example where there is a cyber incident or other unauthorised access linked to or related to My Sony Care Plans).
If you do not wish to accept any change notified to you by Sony, or do not wish to accept any change made by Sony, you may cancel your My Sony Care Plan in accordance with clause 3.1 and receive a pro rata refund in accordance with clause 3.2.
4.4 If as part of purchasing your My Sony Care Plan, you opt in to receiving news and offers and later opt out of these communications by following the “unsubscribe” link or “update preferences” at the bottom of these communications, you will no longer receive direct email marketing communications from Sony. If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, you will still receive service and transactions-based communications relating to your My Sony Care Plan (including, for example, order updates, and changes to these terms and conditions, the Privacy Policy and Website Terms of Use).
4.5 Except as otherwise required by law, Sony shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations due to events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, strikes, government restrictions, or supply chain disruption. In such cases, the Sony Care Plan period will be extended for the duration of the delay.
4.6 A failure or delay by either Sony or you in exercising rights under these terms and conditions does not constitute a waiver of those rights.
4.7 If any part or all of any clause in these terms and conditions is illegal, invalid or unenforceable then it will be read down to the extent necessary to ensure that it is not illegal, invalid or unenforceable, but if that is not possible, it will be severed from these terms and conditions and the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions will continue to have full force and effect.
4.8 These Terms are governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of NSW and the Commonwealth with respect to any action or other legal process with respect to any matter in connection with these terms and conditions.
