Product warranty coverage, what to do when a sensor or tool develops a fault, and how our additional warranties work alongside your consumer rights.
This Warranty Policy is issued by MyTPMS Australia, the registered business name associated with The Trustee for Automate TPMS Australia Trust, ABN 53 807 701 500. Our workshop, dispatch and warranty-return premises are at Unit 5–6, 44–50 Westall Road, Springvale VIC 3171, Australia. Warranty enquiries can be made by email to [email protected], by telephone on 1300 818 030 or by post to that address.
The policy describes our voluntary product warranties for purchases through mytpms.com.au, telephone orders and sales channels operated by MyTPMS Australia. Where we expressly provide cover through a participating MyTPMS reseller, the relevant purchase terms also apply. It does not represent that MyTPMS is appointed or endorsed by a third-party product or vehicle manufacturer.
Our range includes AUTOMATE TPMS sensors, non-AUTOMATE OE replacement sensors, Autel and Hamaton sensors, vehicle-specific DIY TPMS master kits, cloning and programming tools, AUTOMATE A01 and A02 diagnostic tools, and associated service parts. Coverage depends on the product, component and purchase arrangement, as set out below.
Read this policy with our Returns & Refund Policy and Terms & Conditions. A product-specific warranty or a more favourable promise made when you bought the product remains relevant; this page does not retrospectively reduce that promise. Product warranties are separate from any installation or programming service we supply.
Additional to consumer rights. The benefits of our voluntary warranties are in addition to other rights and remedies available under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and any other applicable law. A warranty period, eligibility condition or exclusion does not set the limit of those statutory rights. Section 7 explains the distinction.
The following table sets out the standard voluntary coverage by product and purchase type. The purchase-specific offer, invoice and any written warranty supplied with the goods should be read together. A generic reference elsewhere to “lifetime” or “3 years” does not by itself change a different express promise made for your purchase.
| Product / purchase type | Voluntary coverage | What the coverage means |
|---|---|---|
| AUTOMATE TPMS sensors — retail / consumer purchase | Lifetime | Manufacturing defects under normal use; original-purchaser and original-vehicle conditions below. Kit-specific terms are shown separately. |
| AUTOMATE TPMS sensors — wholesale, trade, reseller or agreed bulk supply | 3 years from purchase | Manufacturing defects under normal use, unless a different purchase-specific warranty was expressly agreed or advertised. |
| Non-AUTOMATE OE replacement TPMS sensors | 12 months from purchase | MyTPMS product-defect cover; any separate manufacturer warranty and applicable consumer guarantees are additional. |
| Autel TPMS sensors | 12 months from purchase | MyTPMS product-defect cover, without limiting a longer warranty supplied for the particular product. |
| Hamaton U-Pro TPMS sensors | 12 months from purchase | MyTPMS product-defect cover, without limiting a longer warranty supplied for the particular product. |
| DIY TPMS master kits — sensor components | 12 months from purchase, unless supplied with longer cover | Where the kit was advertised or supplied with lifetime sensor cover, that promise is honoured. Tools have separate component coverage. |
| AUTOMATE A01 & A02 TPMS diagnostic tools | 12 months from purchase | Manufacturing defects and hardware faults under normal use. |
| Third-party sensor cloning / programming tools | 12 months from purchase | Manufacturing defects and hardware faults under normal use; purchase-specific update terms are separate. |
| Service parts — valve stems, nuts, seals and caps | No separate voluntary wear warranty | Routine wear and service replacement are not covered by an additional warranty. Faulty or incorrectly supplied parts remain subject to applicable consumer guarantees and any express promise. |
DIY kit sensor cover: Some kit offers provide lifetime cover for the sensors, while the tools have a separate warranty. A kit sold with that lifetime sensor promise is not reduced to 12 months by this table. Contact [email protected] with your order or kit details for written confirmation of the cover supplied with your purchase.
Eligible retail AUTOMATE sensors are covered against manufacturing defects for as long as the original retail purchaser owns the product and uses it in the vehicle for which it was originally programmed, subject to the conditions disclosed for that purchase. A manufacturing defect can become apparent after installation or after a period of normal use; it does not have to be visible when the parcel arrives.
This voluntary lifetime cover is not a promise of an unlimited battery life, maintenance-free valves or compatibility with every future vehicle, receiver or software version. Normal wear and ordinary battery depletion are distinguished from premature failure caused by a defect. The original-purchaser and original-vehicle conditions do not restrict statutory remedies or override more favourable purchase-specific promises.
AUTOMATE sensors supplied under wholesale, trade, reseller or agreed bulk terms carry three years of manufacturing-defect cover from the purchase date, unless a written agreement, invoice or product offer specifies another period for that supply. Trade or bulk classification must be established when buying, not first applied to shorten cover when a claim is made. Buying several sensors alone does not retrospectively turn a retail purchase into a trade transaction.
A business purchase can still attract consumer guarantees where the legal conditions are met. Purchases for resale are treated differently under the ACL. Your account label alone does not determine statutory entitlement, and trade customers should keep the terms and records applicable to their supply.
AUTOMATE A01 and A02 diagnostic tools and third-party cloning/programming tools have the 12-month hardware cover listed above, under normal operating conditions. A sensor lifetime warranty does not automatically extend to a tool packed in the same kit. Separate manufacturer benefits apply according to the terms provided for the particular model.
A future software subscription, optional upgrade or new vehicle-coverage release is not automatically included in a hardware warranty. However, this does not exclude remedies for a product that fails to perform a software-dependent function advertised at purchase, or remove an update or support entitlement expressly included in the sale. A product sold as suitable for an application must be assessed against that representation.
Back to contentsThe voluntary warranty covers eligible faults arising from defective materials, components, design or workmanship that prevent the product working as described under normal use. We assess the symptoms and their cause. Normal installation or use does not exclude a latent defect just because the failure became apparent later.
After assessing a claim, we explain the outcome and the applicable remedy. For voluntary warranty claims we may offer repair, replacement or an appropriate refund. We do not use that choice to override a remedy you are entitled to select under consumer law.
Major and minor failures: Consumer-law remedies depend on the circumstances and the seriousness of the problem. For a major product failure, the consumer can choose a refund or replacement, or retain the goods and seek compensation for reduced value. Our assessment does not replace those rights.
The following exclusions concern the cause of the problem under our voluntary product warranty. They are not a general declaration that a used, installed or repaired product has no rights. We consider whether the particular damage or conduct caused the failure being claimed, together with the specification and representations made at purchase.
These exclusions do not remove applicable consumer guarantees, remedies for incorrect descriptions or advice, or responsibility for services provided by MyTPMS. Damage caused by misuse or a separate installer is assessed differently from a manufacturing defect or a fault caused by our own work.
Our voluntary warranty is not an automatic reimbursement scheme for every workshop bill, towing charge, missed appointment or loss of income. However, we do not apply a blanket refusal to costs that we must meet under consumer law, including reasonably foreseeable loss caused by a consumer-guarantee failure. Section 15 explains how to submit supporting information. Return and replacement freight are addressed in Sections 9 and 12 and are not restricted only to major failures.
Back to contentsContact us when a problem becomes apparent. You do not need to identify the technical cause or decide whether the claim is a warranty or consumer-guarantee claim before seeking help. The steps below help us match the item to its purchase and investigate it efficiently.
Have your order number, invoice, receipt or other reasonable evidence of purchase ready. If the invoice is missing, contact us with the order email address, approximate date and product details so we can try to locate the transaction. A receipt is helpful, but it is not the only possible evidence.
Explain what is happening and when it began. Photographs of accessible parts, a dashboard message, tool results or a short video may help. Do not remove a tyre or dismantle a sealed sensor just to photograph its interior. Provide information that is safe and reasonably available.
Email [email protected] with your order number, product details, contact information and a description of the fault. Include relevant vehicle details for a sensor, or the tool model, serial number and firmware version where available. Use a subject such as “Warranty Claim – order number”. You may also telephone or write to our premises.
Our technical team aims to review the information within 2–5 business days. We may suggest relevant troubleshooting or request a physical assessment. Where an Australian claim appears likely valid and a return is needed, we provide a prepaid return method. Some clear, straightforward cases may be resolved without a return. Freight arrangements are explained in Section 9.
We explain the result, proposed remedy and any further steps. An approved replacement is sent by express shipping within Australia or standard international shipping overseas without a replacement-dispatch charge. If the original is unavailable, we discuss an equivalent or refund. An approved refund is initiated within 3 business days after approval; bank settlement is separate.
Email is useful for attaching documents, but telephone and postal enquiries are also welcome. Call 1300 818 030 during customer-support hours, Monday–Friday, 9 am–5 pm Melbourne local time, or use our Contact page. We can help create a written record if you have difficulty sending an email.
A workshop, reseller or another representative may assist with your permission. We may verify their authority before sharing personal order information. There is no requirement to surrender your own claim simply because another person assists with it.
Response targets: We aim to respond to warranty enquiries within 2 business days; during high-volume periods an initial response may take up to 5 business days. The initial technical review target is 2–5 business days after receiving the relevant information. These are not deadlines for you to lose a claim, or a fixed limit on the time needed for every repair. We keep you informed when further assessment is required.
Provide the information relevant to the product and problem, to the extent it is available. We will ask for further details when necessary rather than reject a claim automatically because a photograph, invoice copy or technical reading is missing.
Original packaging is not required for a faulty-product claim. Return the product securely when a return is needed, and do not include passwords, full payment-card details or unrelated personal documents. Information supplied for the case is handled under our Privacy Policy.
Back to contentsOur goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and 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 periods in Section 2 describe additional voluntary warranties. They do not determine how long consumer guarantees apply. Whether a product should reasonably remain durable depends on matters such as the type of product, price, statements made about it, intended use and surrounding circumstances. A fault claim is not automatically limited to 30 days, 12 months or three years.
| Guarantee | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Acceptable quality | Goods must meet the applicable standard of safety, durability, condition and ordinary performance. The assessment relates to the particular sensor, tool or service part, not a function that the model was never designed to perform. |
| Fitness for a disclosed purpose | Where the legal conditions are met, a product must be suitable for a purpose made known before purchase and reasonably relied upon. A relevant fitment recommendation can be part of that assessment. |
| Description and express promises | The supplied product must match the relevant description and promises made when selling it, including applicable compatibility and warranty representations. |
| Repairs and spare parts | Manufacturer/importer obligations concerning reasonable availability can apply, subject to any lawful, disclosed exceptions. This does not promise that every sealed sensor can be repaired or that every model remains in production indefinitely. |
| Title and possession | Applicable guarantees about ownership, undisturbed possession and undisclosed securities are not excluded by this policy. |
| Services provided by MyTPMS | Separate statutory guarantees can apply to our installation, programming and other services, including care and skill, fitness for a disclosed purpose and completion within a reasonable time. A product-warranty exclusion does not excuse a failure of our own service. |
Contact [email protected] or 1300 818 030 to raise a problem. The ACCC provides warranty guidance and accepts reports for its regulatory work, but does not decide individual disputes. Consumer Affairs Victoria provides consumer information and may assist with eligible disputes. Tribunal or court options depend on the circumstances and their jurisdiction; see Section 16.
Back to contentsContact us promptly if a product arrives damaged, has a defect when first checked or does not work during initial setup. We give confirmed arrival faults priority handling. You do not need to decide whether the cause is manufacture, packaging or the carrier before asking us to investigate.
A product that will not operate during initial setup may have an arrival fault, although an incorrect application, a flat external power supply or an incomplete relearn can produce similar symptoms. Describe the problem and the safe checks already attempted. We may offer relevant troubleshooting or arrange assessment. A confirmed DOA claim receives priority replacement at no cost, without removing any right to choose a different remedy under consumer law.
Where practical, photograph accessible damage, the outer parcel and the shipping label, and keep the packaging while we investigate. Do not continue handling or using a product that appears unsafe. We consider the delivery evidence and the condition of the goods, and arrange an appropriate remedy for confirmed transit damage or an incorrectly supplied item.
A parcel can be damaged internally even when its outer packaging appears intact. Conversely, a marked carton does not by itself establish that the product is defective. We assess what happened rather than require a particular appearance of the parcel before helping.
Prompt reporting helps; it is not a cut-off. Earlier short reporting periods for arrival or transit issues do not end your warranty or statutory rights. A missing original box, a delayed photograph or the discovery of a hidden fault later is not an automatic reason to refuse a claim. Our 30-day change-of-mind window is a separate offer.
Email the order number, product details and available evidence to [email protected]. We cover reasonable return and replacement-delivery costs for a confirmed faulty, damaged-in-transit or incorrectly supplied item as described in Section 9. A carrier investigation is handled alongside our responsibilities to you; it is not a requirement for you to pursue the carrier alone.
Back to contentsA return is sometimes needed to distinguish a product defect from installation damage, configuration or a vehicle-side problem. Clear evidence may allow us to resolve a straightforward claim without a physical return, but this is assessed case by case. We explain what to send and why it is needed.
Please contact us before sending the product, where reasonably practical, so we can provide an RMA or other case reference, packaging instructions and the appropriate return method. Include your order and contact details inside the parcel. An RMA helps us identify it; not having one does not remove a faulty-product or consumer-guarantee claim, and does not automatically justify returning the parcel at your expense.

Use the original packaging where convenient, or another suitable protective package. Original packaging and a printed email are not mandatory for a fault claim. Send accessories that are relevant to the fault or specifically requested, rather than unrelated items. Keep a tracking receipt if arranging your own postage.
Do not post a swollen, leaking, overheating, physically damaged or otherwise suspect battery-powered product using an ordinary return label. Tell us first so an appropriate route can be considered under the carrier’s conditions. Do not dismantle a sealed sensor or remove a built-in battery simply to send it back.
Where a diagnostic tool stores data, make a backup where possible and tell us about relevant saved information before a repair or reset. If the proposed repair could erase user-generated data or involve refurbished goods or parts, we provide the required repair notice before proceeding. A backup request is not a blanket waiver of responsibility for the repair.
We usually inspect an ordinary returned item within 2–3 business days after arrival, consistent with our Returns & Refund Policy. More involved testing may take longer; we explain the next steps and keep you updated. Once a refund is approved, it is initiated within 3 business days after approval, with bank or payment-provider settlement separate.
Back to contentsThe standard voluntary warranty described here is for the original purchaser and is not automatically transferred when sensors or a vehicle are sold second-hand. For retail lifetime sensor cover, the original-vehicle condition in Section 2 also applies where it formed part of the purchase terms. A more favourable express warranty made at the time of sale is not withdrawn by this section.
These voluntary conditions are separate from statutory rights. A person receiving goods as a gift may have consumer-guarantee rights. Depending on the transaction and the applicable law, rights can also arise against a business selling second-hand goods or against a manufacturer or importer. This policy does not state that every subsequent owner has no possible remedy or can only deal with a private seller.
The MyTPMS warranty on a wholesale transaction and the promises a reseller makes to its retail customer are distinct. A reseller must meet the obligations applying to its own sale. It should not tell an end customer that a wholesale label or the expiry of an upstream warranty automatically removes consumer guarantees.
Trade customers can contact us with the supply invoice, affected product and relevant fault information. Where we expressly provided a MyTPMS retail warranty through that channel, we assess that undertaking according to its terms. Rights concerning manufacturer reimbursement or other supplier remedies are assessed separately; this page does not replace them with a blanket “pass-through” rule.
Keep the purchase and product-identification records that establish the warranty offered, and only share customer information needed for the claim with appropriate authority. An authorised representative may help an original purchaser communicate with us without becoming the warranty holder.
Back to contentsA TPMS warning or lack of displayed pressure is not, on its own, a diagnosis of a defective sensor. Correct application, suitable physical fitting, sensor configuration and the vehicle’s recognition procedure all matter. Our team can help establish what has and has not been completed without requiring a customer to identify the technical cause before raising a claim.
Use the product listing and the vehicle-specific relearn guide, and contact us about uncertain applications. Relevant details can include make, model, build date, market specification, original sensor reference and the vehicle’s installed system. If our description, fitment recommendation or supplied programming was wrong, we assess that as a supply or service issue, not automatically as customer misuse.
Internal sensors normally require suitable tyre-service equipment and an installer familiar with the product and wheel. Follow the applicable valve torque, sealing and fitment instructions. Do not break a tyre bead, dismantle a sensor or perform an unsafe road test merely to collect evidence for a warranty enquiry. Exclusions for damage caused by a separately engaged installer do not excuse a defect or work for which MyTPMS is responsible.
Help with the correct procedure: Call 1300 818 030 or email [email protected] with your vehicle and order details. We can guide relevant checks and discuss whether product assessment, programming assistance or installer follow-up is appropriate. Asking for support does not prevent a warranty or consumer-guarantee claim.
International customers receive the same voluntary coverage by product and purchase type shown in Section 2, subject to the original purchase terms and the freight arrangements below. Any mandatory local rights that apply to the transaction are additional and are not removed by Australian governing-law wording.
Consumer protection varies by country, the type of transaction and whether particular laws apply to an overseas seller. The following cards identify relevant frameworks, not a promise that every provision or fixed period applies to every order. Product warranties do not displace mandatory rights.
Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act: applicable product guarantees and fair-trading rights.
Consumer Rights Act and applicable national rules: remedies and time limits depend on the claim and location.
National laws implementing EU consumer and sale-of-goods protections may provide remedies for non-conforming goods.
Applicable federal warranty rules and state consumer laws may provide rights; coverage varies by product and transaction.
Provincial and territorial consumer and sale-of-goods laws may provide remedies, alongside relevant federal rules.
Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and applicable remedies for goods that do not meet the relevant requirements.
Applicable consumer protection rules may impose seller and warranty obligations for a covered transaction.
Applicable consumer-contract, sale-of-goods and civil-law protections may provide rights for a covered purchase.
Contact [email protected] with your location, order details and the problem. You can also seek independent guidance from the consumer authority in your country. We do not require international customers to waive mandatory rights in order to use this warranty process.
Back to contentsWe stand behind the product descriptions and express quality promises supplied with our goods. Performance, environmental limits, battery expectations and compliance documentation are product-specific. A lifetime manufacturing-defect warranty does not, by itself, certify a testing standard, prove a component’s country of origin or guarantee an unlimited service life.
When a claim indicates a possible batch or recurring product problem, we investigate the relevant information and may seek technical information from the supplier. We use claim findings to inform product support and corrective action. If a systemic manufacturing issue is identified, we will contact identifiable affected customers to offer appropriate remedies, including customers who have not yet submitted a claim.
Keep the product reference, sensor or tool identification and purchase record where possible; these can assist traceability. Reporting a safety concern does not depend on first completing every routine warranty step. Stop using an unsafe product and contact us promptly.
Back to contentsOur Returns & Refund Policy and this Warranty Policy deal with related but different situations. You do not have to choose the correct document before speaking to us; explain the issue and we will consider the applicable offer and consumer rights together.
Return requests, warranty investigations and follow-up should use the same order or case reference where available. We do not require a customer to start again solely because an initial enquiry was labelled as a return rather than a warranty claim. A promise made for an existing purchase is not withdrawn by directing the customer to a different policy.
Back to contentsThis voluntary product warranty does not promise payment of every loss or cost associated with a fault. Entitlement depends on the warranty offered, the applicable consumer law, the cause of the loss and the supporting information. Nothing here imposes a blanket purchase-price cap or takes away a non-excludable remedy.
Provide your order/case number, an explanation of the claimed loss and available invoices, receipts or other evidence to [email protected]. Where practical, discuss substantial proposed work with us before it is performed so we can assess options and avoid unnecessary cost. That request does not require you to delay necessary safety measures or give up a legal remedy.
We explain the outcome and any amount agreed. We do not charge a penalty merely for making a claim in good faith. Loss caused independently by misuse, unrelated vehicle damage or another party’s work is assessed on its own facts rather than assumed to have been caused by a sensor defect.
Back to contentsEmail [email protected] with the order/case reference, what remains unresolved and the outcome you are seeking. You can ask for the matter to be reviewed by a senior team member. We commit to responding to a warranty dispute with a proposed resolution within 5 business days. If further investigation is needed, we explain the reason and the next steps.
Our Complaints & Dispute Resolution Policy gives further contact and escalation details. Contacting us does not prevent you from obtaining independent advice, notifying a bank within its dispute deadline or taking necessary legal action.
International customers may contact us directly and seek guidance from an appropriate local consumer authority. We will engage in good faith to resolve the matter; we do not represent membership of a particular external dispute scheme unless that arrangement has been established.
This policy is governed by the laws of Victoria and applicable Commonwealth laws of Australia. That choice does not remove mandatory consumer protections, available remedies or a competent forum that applies to an international customer’s transaction. An internal complaint stage is not an agreement to let a statutory time limit expire.
Back to contentsWe may update this policy to reflect changes in the product range, business arrangements, warranty offers or applicable law. The updated page identifies its revision date. Publication of new wording does not by itself replace the warranty terms or express promises supplied with an earlier purchase.
For material changes, we take reasonable steps to notify affected registered customers by email or an appropriate website notice. Restrictions that reduce cover are not applied retrospectively to goods already sold under more favourable terms. Where changes improve coverage, broaden eligibility or extend a warranty period, those improvements apply to eligible products already in service as well as future eligible purchases, in accordance with the announced improvement.
Keep the warranty information supplied with your order. Contact [email protected] if you need help identifying the version or purchase-specific promise relevant to your claim. Our statutory obligations and a customer’s applicable rights continue irrespective of an update to this page.
Back to contentsRead the related documents for ordering, returns, delivery, privacy and other customer information. These documents should be consistent with the purchase-specific promise and do not remove non-excludable rights.
Our customer-support team is available Monday–Friday, 9 am–5 pm, Melbourne local time. Contact us about warranty claims, compatibility, programming or an existing order.
