Last published: 1 November 2024
Nothing in this document excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty or other term or condition, implied or imposed by any legislation which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited and that includes the consumer guarantees that may apply by application of the Australian Consumer Law (‘ACL’), the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act (‘CGA’) or any other applicable legislation, to the goods and services that you acquire from us.
Consumer guarantees legislated under the ACL:
- are guarantees that you may be able to rely on if something it not right with your goods and services that you acquire from us
- automatically apply to goods and services that cost less than AUD$100,000 (inclusive of GST)
- only apply to goods and services over AUD$100,000 (inclusive of GST) if they are of a kind ordinarily used for personal, domestic or household use or consumption.
Who is covered by the Supplier Warranty?
A Supplier Warranty is a benefit given to our customers who are both carrying on business and using the applicable Equipment (as defined below) in Australia or New Zealand.
Dentsply Sirona Pty Ltd (‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) warrants that any equipment listed in Annexure A that you purchase from us on or after 1 November 2024 (‘Acquisition Date’), and the spare parts that are used to repair such equipment (‘DS Parts’), will be free from defects in materials and workmanship with normal intended use, for a period that, depending on the description or nature of the equipment, is the longer of the following:
- the period specified in Annexure A for the relevant equipment or DS Parts with the time commencing to run on the date that the installation of the equipment, or DS Parts, is completed; or
- the period as agreed with you in writing on any occasion.
To honour the Supplier Warranty, we will ensure that either we or one of our authorised service providers will make the necessary repairs (which may include using new DS Parts) to correct any defect covered by this Supplier Warranty, without charge to you. Our liability under this Supplier Warranty is limited to ensuring that any such repairs are made in accordance with these terms and conditions (which may be amended by us on one or more occasions).
In this document, ‘you’ or ‘your’ is a reference to you our customer being a person, corporation or other legal entity who has purchased an item or items of equipment listed in Annexure A from us, or for which a DS Part was supplied and to which, in each case, the Supplier Warranty relates.

Supplier Warranty Details
Equipment
Any equipment, described in Annexure A, that you buy from us on or after the Acquisition Date.
DS Parts
DS Parts are also covered by the Supplier Warranty until they are individually repaired or replaced.[1] Once the repaired or replaced DS Parts have been installed in your equipment, the DS Parts will be recorded in our system with a separate Supplier Warranty period that applies to the DS Parts in their own right, unless the Supplier Warranty period that applies to the DS Parts is shorter than the Supplier Warranty period for the equipment. In this circumstance, we will adjust the Supplier Warranty period that applies to the DS Parts so that it aligns with the Supplier Warranty period for the equipment. If for whatever reason the installation of the DS Parts cannot be completed in one day, the Supplier Warranty for the DS Parts will only commence after the final day of the installation process.
Software
The Supplier Warranty will also cover the software that is supplied with your equipment, but only in circumstances where:
- the software fails to perform substantially in accordance with its stated specifications; and
- the failure of the software was not caused by external factors.
Please note the exclusions below in relation to software-related defects that are caused by external factors.

If you believe that your equipment is defective, please call us on 1300 55 29 29 or email us at australiaandnewzealand-technicalservice@dentsplysirona.com.
Once we have confirmed that your equipment is still covered by the Supplier Warranty, we will arrange for your equipment to be serviced under the Supplier Warranty either on-site or at one of our service locations (‘Warranty Service’). The Warranty Service will be undertaken by us or one of our authorised service providers.
If we have confirmed that your equipment is no longer covered by the Supplier Warranty, then our out-of-warranty service arrangements will apply. Please see the ‘Out-of-Warranty Services’ section below for further details.
The Supplier Warranty period for each item of equipment and DS Parts is set out in Annexure A. Each Supplier Warranty period will start from the date that the installation of the equipment, or DS Parts, is completed.
You can extend the Supplier Warranty period for eligible equipment by up to 2 additional years if you purchase a DS Core Care subscription for each item of eligible equipment. After the 2 additional years have expired, you can extend the Supplier Warranty period for up to 3 more years if you renew your DS Core Care subscription for the eligible equipment. The DS Core Care subscription must be purchased and renewed within the periods prescribed by the DS Core Care Terms and Conditions.
The equipment that is currently eligible for DS Core Care has been identified as such in Annexure A. Please click the links below or contact one of our sales specialists for more information about the benefits of DS Core Care, as well as the DS Core Care terms and conditions:

The Supplier Warranty will not cover defects of the equipment or DS Parts that were caused by one or more of the following:
- an alteration or modification to the equipment or DS Parts that was not made or approved by us;
- your or any third party’s negligence or intentional acts, including theft or vandalism;
- unauthorised repairs;
- misuse or abuse by you or any unauthorised third party;
- improper handling, installation, maintenance, testing or use by you or any unauthorised third party;
- fire originating outside of the equipment;
- accidents, Force Majeure events or other types of catastrophic damage;[2]
- any failure of any third-party computer operating systems, hardware environment or software utilised by you.
Without limiting the above, the Supplier Warranty will also be considered void if:
- you fail to reasonably assist us in verifying, reproducing and correcting the conditions that lead to the failure in performance or defect of the equipment or DS Part,
- we are unable after using reasonable efforts to verify and reproduce such failure or defect condition of the equipment or DS Part as reported by you;
- you fail to allow for the performance of regular maintenance in accordance with the applicable maintenance schedule for your equipment;
- you otherwise fail to maintain the equipment in accordance with the maintenance specifications for the equipment (as advised by us in writing from time to time), including by failing to use specified cleaning products.
Finally, the Supplier Warranty will not cover:
- normal wear and tear (e.g. chair upholstery being worn over time);
- defects arising from software issues that were caused by external factors, including but not limited to anti-virus updates, firewall updates, Windows updates, update of Windows profile security settings; network reconfiguration (unless required as a direct result of an internal failure of our software), software installations and/or updates that conflict with the operation of our software, infrastructure failure (such as power outage, router broken, staff opened ransomware etc.), natural disasters, physical failures of the IT hardware or operating system issues; or
- consumables (including, without limitation, light bulbs, LEDs, fibres, PSP plates, hygiene sleeves, bite blocks). Please see Annexure B for a full list of consumables and wear and tear parts that are not covered under the Supplier Warranty.
The Supplier Warranty will be void if an unauthorised third party undertakes any repairs to your equipment.
‘Unauthorised third party’ includes any service providers who may have undertaken Warranty Services on our behalf in the past but was acting without our express, written instructions at the time that the relevant repairs were made.
The Supplier Warranty is not transferable to subsequent owners of the equipment or DS Part. It is personal to you.
Out-of-warranty services
If your equipment is no longer covered by the Supplier Warranty set out in Annexure A, you can still request that we service your equipment (‘Out-of-Warranty Service’), but we may charge for parts, labour, travel, freight, remote software support and incidental expenses required for the Out-of-Warranty Service.
We warrant that any DS Part that has been replaced as part of an Out-of-Warranty Service will be free from defects for a period of 90-days starting from the date that the Out-of-Warranty Service was completed. This warranty only extends to Out-of-Warranty Services that were completed by us or one of our authorised service providers. This warranty is also subject to the same exclusions that apply to the Supplier Warranty (as set out above).

- to cancel your service contract with us; and
