Q. What is a MySony account?

A. Your Sony account (also known as a MySony) qualifies you for membership with the MySony Benefits program (see below).   By opening an account you become a MySony member. 

In addition, your MySony account is also what you use to sign in to Sony Online services such as buying products online, lodging a product support request, receiving emails, participating in competitions or events, registering your Sony products, and providing feedback about your products or these services. It makes your experiences with Sony more personal and relevant to you.

Q. Do I have to open a MySony account?

A. No.  You may purchase Sony products as a guest at checkout.   If you choose to interact with us as a guest please note that you will not be entitled to the benefits under the MySony program.  Please note that we will still retain some personal information about you related to the orders you make. 

You may still choose to sign up to receive offers and other marketing from Sony but please note that this will be different to the offers made available to MySony members.

Q. Do I have to opt in to receive offers and other marketing communications if I open a MySony account?

A. No.  However this will impact some of the benefits that you receive under the MySony benefits program (see below). 

Q. Can I opt in to receiving offers and other marketing communications if I don’t open a MySony account?

A. Yes.  You can do so here (Australia) or here (New Zealand).

A. Australia and New Zealand each have national regimes for consumer protection which include statutory consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded, limited or modified ("Consumer Guarantees").  These Consumer Guarantees give consumers a range of rights in respect of goods or services and remedies against the supplier and manufacturer of goods or services if those goods or services fail to comply with one of the Consumer Guarantees.
The Consumer Guarantees include guarantees that:
•    the supplier has the right to sell the goods;
•    goods are of acceptable quality;
•    the goods are reasonably fit for any purpose for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied, for which the supplier represents they are reasonably fit, or which you make known to the supplier (unless the supplier warns you they are not fit for that purpose);
•    the goods correspond with any description by which they were supplied;
•    the goods correspond with any sample or demonstration model by reference to which they were supplied;
•    the manufacturer of the goods will take reasonable action to ensure that parts and facilities for repair of the goods are reasonably available for a reasonable period after the goods are supplied; 
•    the supplier and manufacturer will comply with any express warranty given or made by them respectively in relation to the goods; 
•    services will be rendered with due care and skill; and
•    services will be supplied within a reasonable time.

Australia: 
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 for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods otherwise fail to meet a consumer guarantee in the Australian Consumer Law.

New Zealand:
In New Zealand, you are entitled to a replacement or refund (at your election) for a failure of substantial character 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 comply with a statutory guarantee.
