All Vuly products are sold with a manufacturing warranty, which assure that the item is free of defects in workmanship and materials (“warranty”).

Vuly offers the longest and most extensive warranties in the market on all our trampoline and swing set models. They provide a comprehensive after-sales service.

9.1. Warranty periods

Warranty periods always commence from the date of item dispatch – unless documentation from an authorised third-party installer provides an actual set-up date.

Warranty periods on Vuly trampolines and swing sets do not reset for any reason, unless the customer purchases an entirely new product. In this case, that particular product will be covered by its own warranty period. It does not affect – nor will it increase – warranty periods for other purchased items.

Replacing any parts that constitute a trampoline or swing set do not change the original warranty period of that product.

9.1.1 Models from 01/12/2008 - Present

This warranty is for use under normal conditions, and it applies for:

Trampolines

•   - 120 months [10 years] to the Frame Tubes and Joiner Poles.

•   - 60 months [5 years] to the Springs (excluding Leaf Springs), and Jump Mat (excluding the print).

•   - 12 months [1 year] to all other parts of the purchased trampoline – e.g. Safety Padding and Safety Net – and accessories.

9.2. Inclusions

This warranty covers manufacturing faults and defects only.

If a product is damaged or rendered unsafe as a result of a departure from its design specifications during production, this constitutes a manufacturing fault or defect.

This may occur if – for example – use of incorrect textiles during manufacturing causes a Safety Net to disintegrate, or if improper welding produces an unstable Frame.

9.3. Exclusions

9.3.1. Damage through wear and tear

This warranty does not extend to normal wear and tear of the product. This may include, but is not limited to:

•   - Rusting of steel components,

•   - UV deterioration of textile components,

•   - Stretching of springs.

As outdoor products that are actively used, trampolines, swing sets and their accessories will experience wear and tear over time.

9.3.2. Damage through weather conditions

Damage to the product that results from weather events – such as rain or wind – are not covered under the warranty. Vuly suggests that you contact your home and contents insurer if your product is damaged by such events.

9.3.3. Damage through improper installation

This warranty does not extend to any failure of the product caused by installation not in accordance with the Vuly Manual. Customers must assemble their Vuly product by following carefully the Installation section of their Vuly Manual.

Furthermore, the warranty does not cover installation provided by a third-party assembly service. It is the customer’s responsibility to check all boxes and confirm that all components are included in the correct condition before installing.

9.3.4. Damage through insufficient care or maintenance

This warranty does not extend to accelerated decay of the product caused by poor care or maintenance. It is essential that customers regularly check, and follow the advice of, the Care and Maintenance sections of their Vuly Manual to ensure that their product lasts as long as possible.

9.3.5. Damage through inappropriate use

This warranty will be void if the product is used for any other activity besides those for which it was intended. Vuly products constitute recreational trampolines, swing sets and accessories for such products. They are not intended for use as professional, gymnastics trampolines, springboards, etc.

The warranty will also be void if any non-Vuly components or accessories are used with the product – such as third-party swings or Shade Covers.

Any evidence that inappropriate actions that have led to product failure will not be covered by the warranty. Similarly, replacement parts or repairs needed to mend such damage will not be covered under the warranty.

9.3.6. Damage through salt water body proximity

9.3.7. Personal injury

This warranty does not cover personal injury or losses due to any of the above: wear and tear, weather conditions, inappropriate installation, insufficient care or maintenance or inappropriate use, nor does it cover damage due to negligence or accidents.

9.3.8. Installation

This warranty does not cover any installation service. If a customer pays for installation of their trampoline or swing set at the time of purchase, this is a one-time service only. The customer may not claim installation costs for any replacement parts under any circumstances.

9.4. Warranty Claims

If a customer believes that a Vuly product is faulty or defective, they must discontinue use and submit a Warranty Claim.

A customer must not attempt to use a product if any part is faulty or defective, as it may be dangerous. Any damage that the user causes as a result of using faulty or defective products will lead to voiding of the warranty.

9.4.1. Making a Warranty Claim

To fulfil a warranty claim, a customer must submit an online Warranty Claim at www.vulyplay.com/support.

Submitting the online Warranty Claim form requires the customer to provide:

•   - Details of their purchase – including date,

•   - Batch number,

•   - Clear photographic evidence of the manufacturing fault or defect.

If the customer does not provide all details that the form requires, their Warranty Claim will not be assessed.

Vuly may take up to 7 days to process Warranty Claims upon a completed submission. It may take a further 12 days for replacement parts to reach the customer.

9.4.2. Successful Warranty Claims

If Vuly accepts a customer’s Warranty Claim, Vuly will replace the faulty or defective parts, not offer refunds.

9.4 Australian Consumer Law

Our Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the Goods repaired or replaced if the Goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

10.0. Missing parts

If a customer believes that a Vuly product does not include all necessary parts, they must contact Vuly immediately on 1300 667 514.

A customer must not attempt to use a product if any part is incomplete, as it may be dangerous. Any damage that the user causes as a result of using incomplete products will lead to voiding of the warranty.

Vuly products are delivered to Vuly HQ prepackaged; we are unable to check the boxes prior to delivery to ensure that they contain all the required parts. While the missing part rate during packing is very low, some parts may also fall out in transit due to small, unintentional tears in their boxes.

11.0. Order cancellations

Once an order has been placed and/or ‘dispatched’ the item may not be returned, unless it is deemed to have a manufacturing fault.

11.1 Laybys and cancellations

We appreciate that buying Vuly Play Equipment is an investment and you may need some time to pay. So we offer a layby option. This also allows you to secure your purchase, particularly in the lead up to Christmas and other times when items are in high demand or stock is limited. We ask for a 30% deposit and then regular instalments which can be paid via EFT or over the phone. Our normal lay-by period is 8 weeks but exceptions can be made. For a change of mind, a fee of $50 applies. 

12.0. Pre-orders

If the customer orders a product before it is in stock, this constitutes a pre-order.​​​​

The timeframes that Vuly provides for stock arrival on pre-orders are estimations only, and they are, therefore, not guaranteed. Time delays due to shipping and freight are often unforeseeable and out of Austwest Outdoors control.

Austwest Outdoors does not offer refunds on pre-ordered products that experience deviations in arrival date from estimated timeframes.

13.0. Media

Austwest Outdoors attempts to provide the most accurate and updated information in the content of its website, catalogues and other promotional material.

13.1. Product portrayals

The appearance of the product that the customer receives may differ from those portrayed in promotional material due to subtle product updates or the colour settings of the customer’s computer.

13.2. Product pricing

Prices displayed on the trampolinedeals.com.au website and in promotional material are subject to change at any time and subject to the discretion of the appropriate parties.

Prices may change in store and online at any time. Prices depicted on invoices or quotes provided, either online or on the phone, are valid for 7 days.

13.3. Promotions
