Envu Protection Warranty

Envu offers an extremely comprehensive termite protection system, the Envu Protection Warranty. If you choose to upgrade and be covered by the Envu Protection Warranty, you will be protected by an extensive $1m warranty. Unlike many other warranties, this will ensure that remedial action and repair will be completely managed by Envu if termites happen to gain access to your home and cause damage within the warranty period. This warranty is renewable annually for the life of the structure.


The Envu Protection Warranty

This warranty is given by 2022 Environmental Science AU PTY LTD (ABN: 49 656 513 923) Suite 206, 737 Burwood Rd, Hawthorn East, VIC. 3123. Phone: 1800 024 209.

The warranty document represents twelve (12) months’ coverage, subject to the terms listed in Clause 2.1.

Your rights under this warranty are in addition to and are not intended to in any way detract from or limit any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable laws.

Our 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. Timber pest inspection by an Envu Accredited Timber Pest Inspector is a mandatory requirement for the Envu Protection Warranty to be valid.
