Warranty Policy

Modscene products are designed to last a lifetime. In fact, we even have a planter that was originally made by Tim’s Grandad in 1995. It is in our yard and is strong and sturdy to this day! However, we offer a 20-year warranty on all Modscene rotational moulded products to give you peace of mind.

The Modscene 20-year warranty is subject to the following conditions:

Our warranty covers rotational moulded parts only made by Modscene Ltd. It does not cover other parts, such as steel or timber parts. 

  1. a) You must be the original purchaser (the original invoice or order email will be required).
    b) If your product has a defect related to a production failure, not wear and tear.
    c) You must have purchased the product directly from us or an authorised reseller. (Proof of purchase will be required to demonstrate the origin of purchase e.g. original invoice or order email).
  2. d) The 20-year warranty only covers items used in a residential application. Commercial or industrial application is covered by a 10-year warranty.

Our Modscene warranty does not cover the following:

  1. a) Fair wear and tear, such as fading and standard wear from use.
    b) Improper care, alternation, misuse or accidental damage to the product.
    c) Force majeure, such as floods and earthquakes.
    d) Any repair work by unauthorised third parties on the products voids any warranties.

Government bodies such as councils are limited to a 10-year warranty period.  

Modscene cannot cover our planters if product failure is caused by incorrect plant choice. Some trees and plants will have root growth unsuitable for planters and will eventually destroy the planter due to root expansion. This is not covered by our warranty as it is out of our control regarding what is planted. 

Our warranty covers rotational moulded parts only made by Modscene Ltd. It does not cover other parts such as steel or timber parts. 

We do not take any responsibility for third-party products, i.e., we will not reimburse any damage to devices used with our products.

Our responsibility shall be limited to the repair or the replacement of the product at our sole discretion. Should no identical product be available, then a suitable alternative will be provided, as deemed by Modscene. Should no alternative be available, then we may award a refund - the amount to be the original purchase amount.

This warranty excludes claims for incidental or consequential damages in connection with the warranty problem. 

This warranty does not affect and is in addition to any statutory rights you may have under New Zealand law.

If a suitable resolution can’t be reached by electronic communication methods, customers are obliged to return the product to us on request at their own cost for inspection to validate if the product is eligible for a replacement under this policy.

The warranty does not cover vandalism.  

The warranty covers planters sold in New Zealand only. Planters that are exported are not covered by this warranty.  

Replacement

Should we deem your product's defect to be covered by the warranty, we will dispatch a new product to you within 40 days.
