Warranty & Returns

We care about beautiful cookware that will last you a lifetime. Unless expressly stated otherwise on the warranty information that comes with your Essteele product, all our cookware comes with our Essteele lifetime guarantee, which is designed to ensure that you can get the most out of your cookware by ensuring that it is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal domestic household use for the lifetime of the Product.

If the warranty information that comes with your Essteele product specifies that the product has a limited warranty, your product is guaranteed to the extent and/or time period stated, and you should refer to the product's warranty information for further details in this regard.

Please note that your product's warranty only covers Essteele cookware products purchased in Australia or on the Australian Essteele website (Essteele.com.au). The below is general in nature and is intended to supplement the warranty information that came with your product, which contains specific warranty information for your product. To ensure the validity of your warranty, please retain proof of purchase and register your product with us online or via mail using the printable registration form available on the product registration page.

Please note that only Essteele products purchased in Australia can be registered on the Australian Essteele website.

Each range of goods provided by Essteele is subject to specific warranty terms, limitations and exclusions:

• Which are available from Essteele upon contacting Customer Service

Essteele guarantees its cookware products against defects in materials and workmanship for the time period stated in your product's warranty information. If your product has such a defect, we will investigate the issue and if the defect is valid and not excluded from warranty coverage, we will (at our election) repair or replace your product free of charge. In the event that your exact product is unable to be repaired and is no longer available, we will provide you with the most similar alternative product that is currently available.

Our goods come with consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (Non-Excludable Guarantees). You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for 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.

The benefits of your product's warranty are in addition to any rights and remedies imposed by Australian State and Federal legislation that cannot be excluded (including the Non-Excludable Guarantees). Nothing in this warranty information or the warranty information that came with your product is to be interpreted as excluding, restricting or modifying any State or Federal legislation applicable to the supply of goods and services which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified, including the Non-Excludable Guarantees.

Your product's warranty does not apply where:
