24 Month Handset Warranty: Manufacturers' standard warranties typically exclude the right to repair for faults caused by misuse (such as physical damage or liquid ingression) but this will vary depending on your handset and manufacturer. The same exclusions apply to the Optus Extended Handset Warranty. The 24 Month Handset Warranty only covers repair to your handset. (not to handset batteries or accessories). See www.optus.com.au/standardagreements or ask in store for further details. The benefits given by the 24 Month Handset Warranty are in addition to your other rights and remedies as a consumer under Australian Law.
