Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You may be entitled to a replacement, repair, refund, or compensation depending on the circumstances and whether the goods have a major or minor failure. Nothing in this Warranty Policy is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any rights or remedies available to you under Australian Consumer Law.
At Japan Engine & Marine Pty Ltd, we specialise in supplying quality Japanese engines, marine engines, transmissions, and outboard motors sourced directly from Japan. We aim to provide customers with accurate product descriptions, photographs, specifications, condition information, and available testing information before purchase.
Any voluntary warranty offered by Japan Engine & Marine Pty Ltd is in addition to the consumer guarantees and rights available to customers under Australian Consumer Law.

Our Testing & Transparency Process
Japan Engine & Marine Pty Ltd aims to provide transparent information about the condition of the engines and marine motors we supply. Our products are sourced directly from Japan, and where applicable, available inspection details, photographs, videos, condition information, and testing results are provided to customers before purchase.
Because many of our products are used or pre-owned, individual engines and marine motors may have different operating histories, cosmetic conditions, specifications, and included components. Customers are encouraged to carefully review the applicable product listing and contact our team with any questions before purchase.
