Factors affecting how long a product can reasonably be expected to last after purchase according to Australian Consumer Law (ACL)
A product purchased is expected to be durable enough to perform its intended function(s) for a reasonable amount of time. Consumer guarantees under the ACL apply for a reasonable time and in addition to any warranties that manufacturers and/or suppliers provide for a good.
The expected lifespan of a product can be determined by, but not limited to, a number of things:
The nature of the product, which can include:
‒ The materials used or composition of the components
‒ The price of the product
‒ Statements made about the product, either on the packaging or by the supplier or manufacturer
‒ History of use of the product
It is important to remember that the concept of reasonable durability refers to how long the product can be expected to last in normal circumstances. This means using the product in the way it was intended or the purpose it was designed for, having regard to any representations made at the time of purchase. If abnormal use by the consumer causes a product to be damaged, and therefore less durable, then the product will not fail to be of acceptable quality if the reason for its failure is that abnormal use.
NATURE OF THE PRODUCT - A product made with high quality products can generally be expected to last longer, however some products have parts with a limited lifespan that cannot be repaired or replaced, and the product as a whole, becomes unusable once the limited lifespan part fails.
TYPE OF PRODUCT AND ITS USE – If a product is used for anything other than it’s intended purpose, it’s fair to say that it’s lifespan would be less than if it were used for it’s correct purpose. For example:
BOOTSStuds and boots are intended only for the type of ground specified on the product. Firm ground - firm natural grass surfaces (FG) and soft ground - soft natural grass surfaces (SG) studs should not be worn on artificial/synthetic grass (AG). If FG or SG boots are worn on artificial surfaces or surfaces that are not intended for that product, all warranties from the manufacturer are null and void.
GOALKEEPER GLOVES
Pro gloves should not be worn on surfaces where abrasions on the fingertips against the ground may occur (artificial grass or turf).
PRICE OF THE PRODUCT – A higher price point usually indicates that the product will be of superior quality materials, but this is not specifically guaranteed to increase the longevity of use of the product. The increased price point may be due to: lightweight materials or construction, a highly valued, sought after product or an athlete specific product. A consumer may be paying for the advanced technology in the product with higher quality materials and increased manufacturing processes.
HISTORY OF USE OF THE PRODUCT – As a general rule, the more heavily and frequently a product is used, the less time it’s expected to last. Sometimes this rule doesn’t apply as some products may deteriorate over time regardless of levels of usage.
