- the product is installed in a residential dwelling by an approved installer of AceDoors products*;
- the purchase and warranty is registered via the online registration process (https://www.acedoors.co.nz/warranty) within 90 days of installation;

Contact AceDoors on 09 273 4970 to locate an approved distributor or installer of AceDoors products or a person authorised by AceDoors to service the products.
This warranty applies only for the benefit of the person who, at the time of installation, owns the residential dwelling in which the product is installed (referred to as the owner).
Only the owner can make a claim under this warranty. This warranty cannot be transferred to someone else. For example, if a product is purchased by a builder from an approved distributor and then installed in a residential dwelling by an approved installer, the owner of that residential dwelling (at the time of installation) will have the benefit of this warranty. A subsequent owner of that residential dwelling will not have the benefit of this warranty.
