Pool Safety Net Terms, Conditions & Warranty - Download this document here.

Subject to the following paragraphs of this warranty, Pool Covers Australia Pty Ltd, ACN 007 362 996 (the “Company”) warrants its Pool Safety Net for a period of three years commencing from the date of the purchase.

1.       Pool Safety Net should be kept on the pool under full tension and will provide many years of service when maintained in this state.  The net can be easily removed for swimming, but should be re-fitted and fully tensioned after each use of the pool.  Pool protection is only effective if it is used.  

2.       Pool Safety Net must be stored indoors if removed from the pool for a prolonged period (more than a few days).  The warranty does not cover shrinkage and other damage that may be caused by incorrect storage of the net.

3.       The security and safety provided by a Pool Safety Net is dependent on the integrity and strength of the pool coping (or adjacent paving) and its ability to properly anchor the net.  The purchaser accepts responsibility for maintaining the coping (or adjacent paving) in good condition at all times.  

4.       The purchaser is responsible for the repair of any latent defects which could be discovered in the pool coping (or adjacent paving) which may adversely affect the security and performance of the Pool Safety Net.

5.       Pool Safety Net does not replace adult supervision & children should never be left unattended.  The net is an additional safety feature.

6.       Regular routine inspection will be carried out by the Purchaser to ensure that the net is in good condition, sufficiently tensioned to carry the weight of a child and properly secured at all anchor points. If the net is defective for any reason it should be removed from the pool until repairs have been completed. 

7.       The Pool Safety Net is not a toy. Do not allow children or adults to jump or play on the net, which will cause rubbing or chaffing.

8.       Your net is not warranted against destruction by animals or melting. Do not allow animals to chew on the net.  Keep the net away from heat sources such as barbecues because it can melt. 

9.       Do not use your pool with the net partially opened. This creates a dangerous situation and should be avoided at
all times. Your pool is not properly secured until the net is in place and properly tensioned. 

10.     The net will be more effective with a greater distance between the water and the
net. It is recommended that the water is kept at least 175mm below the upper edge of the pool surround (coping) or to pool manufacturer’s specifications. 

11.     The installer will take all reasonable precautions to prevent any damage on site but cannot be held responsible for damage caused to plants or property whilst carrying out installation of the Pool Safety Net.  

12.      The purchaser indemnifies Pool Covers Australia Pty Ltd, it's directors and agents for any claims or recriminations in the event of any accident associated with the direct or indirect use of the Pool Safety Net.  It is further acknowledged that although the Pool Safety Net is installed with the intention of aiding child safety, no safety guarantees are given by the supplier and the purchaser accepts full responsibility for the use of the product. 

13.    The warranty does not extend to damage which has been caused by normal wear and tear, misuse, accident, neglect or the use of chemicals which are unsuitable for the Polyethylene Netting.  Further this warranty does not extend to damage caused by cuts, burns or abrasions.

14.    The warranty covers damage caused to the Pool Safety Net by any material or manufacturing defect or faulty installation by us, but does not extend to damage caused by any faulty installation where the cover has been supplied on a self-install basis.

15.     The Company shall in its absolute discretion either repair or replace the faulty Pool Safety Net.

16.     The warranty shall terminate on the happening of any of the events:
     16.1.   The pool owner ceases to be the owner of the property on which the Pool Safety Net is located, or otherwise parts with the possession of the Pool Safety Net or removes it from the original installation site.
     16.2.   The pool in which the Pool Safety Net is installed is used for a purpose other than a domestic pool.
     16.3.   The Pool Safety Net has been misused, neglected or abused. Nb.  Neglect includes incorrect storage of the net as per Clause (2) above.

17.     The warranty shall be null and void unless a claim under the warranty shall be made to the Company within seven days of the defect or damage becoming apparent.

18.     Except as provided herein, all express and implied warranties, guarantees and conditions under statute or general law as to merchantability, description, quality, suitability, or fitness of the goods for any purpose or as to design, assembly, material, workmanship or otherwise are hereby expressly excluded and the Company shall not be liable for physical or financial injury, loss or damage or for consequential loss or damage of any kind arising out of the supply or operation of the goods or arising out of the Company’s negligence or in any way whatsoever.
