3. Warranty & Liability Statement

Limited Warranty

DMS Engineering provides a 12-month limited warranty from the date of delivery against defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and installation conditions.

This warranty applies to the product supplied only and does not extend to the vehicle, vehicle systems, labour costs, diagnostic costs, installation costs, programming, calibration, or any other associated expenses, except where required by law.

This warranty covers manufacturing defects only. It does not cover normal wear and tear, deterioration through use, or any issue that does not arise from a defect in materials or workmanship.

Installation

This warranty covers manufacturing defects in the product as supplied. It does not cover faults caused by improper installation, including (but not limited to):

  • Installation contrary to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Use of incorrect mounting hardware or wiring.
  • Failure to confirm vehicle compatibility prior to fitment.
  • Damage caused during the installation process.

Where a defect is alleged, DMS Engineering may require evidence of how the product was installed, including photographs, installation records, or inspection of the product and surrounding componentry, to determine whether the fault arises from a manufacturing defect or installation.

Claims where the fault is attributable to installation rather than a defect in materials or workmanship will not be accepted under this warranty.

For complex or safety-critical components, including suspension, steering, braking, and electrical integration, professional installation is strongly recommended, as installation errors in these categories are more likely to cause product failure that is not covered under this warranty.

Making a Warranty Claim

To submit a warranty claim, please contact DMS Engineering within the warranty period and provide:

  • Proof of purchase.
  • Reasonable evidence of the alleged defect.
  • Where requested, evidence of how the product was installed.

DMS Engineering may require photographs, video evidence, diagnostic reports, installation records, or return of the product for inspection prior to assessing the claim.

Where a valid warranty claim is confirmed, DMS Engineering will provide a replacement product or refund, consistent with the nature of the failure and applicable consumer law.

Warranty Exclusions

This limited warranty does not cover:

  • Normal wear and tear or deterioration through use.
  • Faults caused by improper installation or failure to follow installation instructions.
  • Compatibility issues where vehicle specifications were not confirmed prior to purchase.
  • Cosmetic damage occurring after installation.
  • Damage caused by impact, misuse, modification, or external causes.
  • Water ingress caused by incorrect installation or vehicle sealing deficiencies.
  • Electrical faults caused by vehicle wiring, voltage irregularities, or third-party accessories.
  • Use of products outside their intended vehicle application.
  • Commercial, motorsport, or off-road use of parts not designed or marketed for that application. Products marketed for off-road use are warranted only for their intended off-road application.
  • Use of products on public roads where the product is not ADR-approved, which remains the responsibility of the purchaser.

Where inspection determines that no manufacturing defect is present, return shipping costs may be payable by the purchaser.

Minor condensation within lighting assemblies may occur temporarily due to environmental temperature variation and does not constitute a defect unless persistent moisture accumulation is present.

4. Australian Consumer Law

Our warranty is provided in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts, or modifies any statutory consumer guarantees or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

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 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.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, our total liability is limited to the original cost of the product supplied.

To the extent permitted by law, DMS Engineering is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, including but not limited to:

  • Loss of vehicle use.
  • Business or income interruption.
  • Costs associated with towing, transportation, or diagnosis.
  • Damage to third-party property.

Except where a greater remedy or compensation is required by applicable law, our liability will not exceed the amount paid for the product.

Warranty

Most products are covered by a 12-month limited warranty from the date of delivery against manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship.

Coverage: The product only. Labour, diagnostic, installation, programming, and calibration costs are not covered.

For complex or safety-critical parts (suspension, steering, electrical), professional installation is strongly recommended. We may request evidence of how the product was installed when assessing a claim.

Claims: Contact us within the warranty period at info@dms-engineering.com.au with proof of purchase and evidence of the defect (photographs, video, or diagnostic information). We may request the product be returned for inspection or evidence of how it was installed. Approved claims are resolved by replacement or refund.

Exclusions include: normal wear and tear, faults caused by improper installation, compatibility issues where vehicle details were not confirmed prior to purchase, cosmetic damage after installation, impact or misuse, electrical faults caused by vehicle wiring or third-party accessories, and use of parts outside their intended application (including off-road or motorsport use of parts not designed for that purpose).

Minor temporary condensation in lighting assemblies is not a defect. Where inspection finds no manufacturing defect, return shipping may be payable by the purchaser.

Was looking for some new headlights for my old jeep. After seeing dozens of options on ebay and the like, I decided to stick with an Aussie company for peace of mind. DMS Engineering had exactly what I wanted at the price I expected to pay. Communication has been excellent, shipping was super quick and I'm confident I'll be buying more from them.

Installed a DMS head unit to my 2014 DMAX, easy installation, minor removal of plastic from the back of the dashboard required to get the unit to sit flush. But as you can see from the photos,it looks great, no glare from the screen while driving and easy to set-up and use. Powers on quickly and connects to your phone via carplay in seconds. Would definitely recommend, makes the dash look like a 2026.

At first it was a lot to take in to be able to fit it yourself. I purchased mine for the wife’s Izuzu MU-X, although it didn’t have a CD player it came with everything else and more. It only took me a lazy 90 minutes but everything worked out perfectly Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to upgrade 👌

Honda Civic FK7 / FK8 Type R (2016 - 2021) LED Headlights LH + RH

Lights fit great and are a direct factory swap for original. Relatively easy to install, look great and the 'sequential' led blinker signal, keeps the car fresh and modern. I have had them in a month now, done some night driving and they perform as good if not better than original. I recommend as a quality replacement. Only small issue I had was the 'trim holding clips' on top of the headlights. They seem a fraction of a mm thinner than the original. This is enough to not allow you to clip the black top cowl trims back onto the light once fitted 'properly'. I simply swapped them over with the original 4 clips and they popped in with a 'clean and crisp' click as they should. 'No biggie' for what was a great upgrade to my FK8 Type R suffering from headlight haze.

Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (2012 - 2015) Tail Lights LH + RH

3rd time I have had to replace a brake/indicator lens thanks to turning too tight while towing. It arrived in 2 or 3 days and looked great. As good as a genuine part. Fitted perfectly. The only thing to be critical of was when I tested it before the reassembly the indicator flashed at about twice the speed of the old one and the one on the other side. When I pulled the globe out it was a tiny little thing. Swapped it with the one in the old unit and all was good. Price wise I am pretty sure I paid more for the previous replacement parts which was more than 10 years ago. Happy camper 😁😁

Toyota Hilux N70 (2005 - 2015) Halo Angel Eyes Projector Headlights

These Halo Angel Eyes projector headlights for the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005–2011) look awesome and give the front end a modern upgrade. The halos and projectors make the lights look sharp at night, and they fit pretty well without too much hassle. You might need a bit of extra wiring for the DRLs, but it's not too bad. Build quality's decent for the price, though some people report a bit of fogging over time. Overall, they're a nice mix of style and function, perfect if you want your Hilux to stand out.

 Toyota LandCruiser 100 & 105 Series Window Seal Weather Strips Standard, GXL, VX, Sahara (1998 - 2007) Chrome / GXL

Just fitted these to my 2004 100 series. Look great, and so nice to have soft rubber and new felt. The old rubber had become brittle and was breaking off. Easy job - loosen the mirrors and carefully lever off the old trims. The new Screw holes on front doors lined up precisely.

An amazing product. Have not had any issues since been installed. Been in the car for roughly 1 week now. Only needed to replace cylinder 3 but done all 6 cylinders, car runs so much better now. Both spark plugs and ingition coils are of very good quality and the coils looks very nice too. Very happy with my purchase. It's the 2nd purchase from DMS Engineering and definitely will keep getting my VE parts from them. 💯
