Australian Direct Warranty

The warranty terms specific to each product are included in each product listing page. Please check these pages for warranty details. Should you have any questions concerning a specific product, please contact us via (07) 3123 4715 or sales@australiandirect.com.au.

Some products sold by KickAss are shipped directly from our supplier’s and/or manufacturer's premises. In these cases, product warranties may be handled directly by the manufacturer as they have specialist teams dedicated to service and warranty support regarding their products. They can also direct you to the closest service agent who can inspect, diagnose or repair any faults that may be required in order to get your product working again.

Contact details are generally supplied with the products themselves (i.e. owners manual). If you did not receive this information with your order, please contact us via (07) 3123 4715 or sales@australiandirect.com.au and we will arrange to have this information sent out to you.
