1.1 Warranties on hardware are available for all VG Computing products and are valid for the
duration of the selected product.
Unless otherwise noted, clients are covered under a return to base warranty. It is the
clients responsibility to send the defective part(s) to VG Computing.
VG Computing will then repair or replace and send the repaired/replaced part(s) back to the
client at no cost. The replacement part(s) may not be identical to the
part the client currently has, especially if the defective part is no
longer available. The replacement will however be of equal or greater
performance than the previous part. If the part is found not to be defective,
the defective part was not supplied by VG Computing, the defective part is out of warranty or the defective part
was found to be damaged by the user or external causes a nominal service
fee will apply plus any shipping costs and the part in question will not be replaced.
1.2 Part(s) being returned must be in their original or similar safe for transport packaging. VG Computing will not accept any returns which have
not been packaged properly.
1.3 This warranty does not cover damages due to external
causes. Such causes include, but are not limited to, accidents, misuse, incorrect
installation, incorrect storage, incorrect usage, deliberate or accidental destruction, failure to perform required preventive maintenance, war, act of violence or any similar occurrence,
fire, liquids, normal wear and tear, act of God, problems caused by external components
or services, third party servicing, tampering with equipment, repair or attempted repair by an unauthorised party, modifications and problems with electrical power. Warranty
will not be honoured if the product has been modified, tampered with or warranty sticker or serial number is broken or removed.
1.4 The warranty period begins from the date we build your system. The extra time required
for any testing, software installation or shipping does not extend the warranty.
1.5 LCD monitors and LCD screens in notebooks are susceptible to dead pixels. Clients should be aware that dead pixels can and do occur on such screens. VG Computing's
warranty policy on dead pixels follows that of the manufacturer of the LCD screen and VG Computing will only accept LCD screens for warranty repair when the number of dead pixels
is within the manufacturer's dead pixel policy. Clients should contact the manufacturer of their LCD screen for up to date information on their dead pixel policy. Clients must
accept that dead pixels on LCD devices which fall within the manufacturer's dead pixel policy are considered acceptable.
