3-Year Limited Warranty on Servers and Workstations
In the event of a component failure within a pre-assembled computer system
supplied by
Electronics Nexus, Inc.
, our warranty will
cover its replacement. The warranty lasts until 36 months beyond the time of
purchase.
This warranty is limited and covers defects in materials and workmanship. It
does not cover the following:
-
Software, including the operating system (except for pre-installed OEM
Installations of Windows XP) and software added to the
Electronics Nexus, Inc.
branded hardware products, third-party software, or the reloading of software,
damage to any systems and software through virus, spyware or malware attack
-
Components added on to the system after delivery by
Electronics Nexus, Inc.
-
Problems that result from:
- External causes such as accident, abuse, misuse, or problems with electrical
power, including inadequate surge protection
- Usage that is not in accordance with product instructions
- Failure to follow the product instructions or failure to perform preventive
maintenance, including maintaining the hardware within required environmental
parameters including, but not limited to temperature and humidity.
- Servicing not approved or authorized by
Electronics Nexus, Inc.
-
Problems caused by using accessories, parts, or components not supplied or
approved by
Electronics Nexus, Inc.
-
Data loss and any consequential damages caused by hard disk or other hardware
failure. You accept that the risk of hard disk failure is real, and accept
responsibility for ensuring adequate back-up mechanisms are in-place to protect
valuable data stored on hard disks
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!
This warranty specifically stipulates that you must have sufficient power
surge protection installed between the system and the power
outlet. A great deal of hardware failures occur due to power spikes from the
mains supply penetrating the delicate electronic components within the system.
For your own peace of mind and convenience please power your system via a
professional level surge protection device.
For Workstations,this warranty additionally specifies that you install a
reputable and effective anti-virus software (such as
Norton/Symantec or McAfee) on your Operating System (if using Windows XP, 2000
or 2003 Server Versions), AND that you regularly maintain it through updates
from the vendor. Free virus solutions are NOT included, as they are of limited
effectiveness. We also recommend that you run a suite of anti-spyware
applications (such as Spysweeper, AdAware and Spybot) to ensure smooth running
of your system by protecting against spyware and malware when web-browsing.
Procedure for Warranty Replacement
This procedure applies to customers with the included free 3-year warranty. For
customers who have selected paid support options, including on-site support,
please contact our support partner via the main support
page.
1. Contact us once you are sure that there is a hardware failure (and not a
result of software/operating-system corruption or virus-attack, etc.).
2. Once we agree that a hardware failure due to defects in materials and
workmanship has occurred, we will issue you an RMA (Return Merchandise
Authorization) Number. We will also ask for a valid credit card number, which
we will authorize (but not charge) for the amount of the replacement part.
3. We will then ship out to you the replacement part within the same day, when
availability permits. Your credit card will not be charged, as long as we
receive the returned part within 30-days, and the manufacturer has agreed that
the failure occurred as a result of a manufacturer defect.
4. Once we receive the returned part, it will be returned to the manufacturer.
The decision upon whether the component failure was a result of defects in
manufacturer, materials or workmanship rests entirely with the manufacturer.
If there appears to be a problem with the motherboard, you can either follow the
above procedure, or have the whole system returned to us for re-fitting with a
new board.
None of the above affects your statutory consumer rights.
