1 Year Systemax Limited Warranty

Systemax Inc. ("Systemax") warrants that the computer systems it manufactures (excluding Accessories) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty period for the computer system you purchased is one year beginning on the date of factory shipment, subject to the conditions and limitations described below. This warranty applies to original purchases made in the United States or Canada. Merchandise purchased for the purpose of resale is not covered under this warranty; nor is this warranty transferable.

This limited warranty covers normal use. The limited warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper packing during shipment, damage during shipment, damage caused by failure to provide a suitable installation or operating environment for the product and/or accessories; damage caused by impact with other objects, dropping, falls, spilled liquids or immersion in liquids; Year 2000 problems caused by non-Systemax products, software, or accessories; servicing not authorized by Systemax, usage not in accordance with product instructions, failure to perform required preventive maintenance, accident, abuse, misuse, neglect, natural disasters such as flood, fire, earthquake or lightening, problems with electrical power such as power surges and problems caused by use of parts, components, services or software not supplied by Systemax. Warranty coverage will not apply in the event the serial number or rating label has been removed, altered or defaced. This limited warranty does not cover damage resulting from failure to back up your data or other files, nor does it cover damage caused by programs, data, viruses or other files. Systemax is not responsible for any loss of your data and recommends that the consumer maintains a back-up system at all times to rebuild or reconstruct lost or altered files, data or programs.

Systemax makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to Internet retail products or services provided by Keyboardmall.com, or accessibility via its website.

This limited warranty does not cover any items in the following categories: software; sound cards, joysticks, printers, scanners, speakers, cameras, (collectively "Accessories"); other external peripherals; Accessories or parts added to a Systemax system after the system is shipped from Systemax including monitors, keyboards, and mice; or Accessories and parts that are not installed in the Systemax factory and any items bought from Systemax but not manufactured by Systemax. These components may have a warranty from their respective manufacturers.

During the warranty period, Systemax will, at its option, repair or replace defective or damaged products returned to Systemax's facility, or refund the amount you paid for the product less depreciation, upon its return to Systemax's facility. Requests for warranty service can be made by calling our Customer Support Team. When calling this team, have the following information available: customer number, order number, serial number, a description of the problem and the Systemax part number. Valid proof of the date of original consumer purchase, including the serial number of the product, may be required before warranty service is provided. If our technician determines that a warranted product or part is defective and that either a repair is necessary or that a replacement product or part is required, you will be given a Return Authorization ("R.A.") number for the return of the defective product or part. This number must be clearly marked on the outside of the original packaging, prior to return. If a replacement product or part is supplied to you in advance of Systemax receiving the defective product or part, the technician will ask for your American Express, VISA or MasterCard account information, including account number and expiration date to secure the return of the defective product or part. You are financially responsible for the return of the defective product or part and will be charged the original sales value and a restocking fee for the replacement product, once the R.A. Number has been issued and the replacement part is shipped from Systemax. The defective product or part must be received in the factory within fifteen (15) days in order to allow for one hundred (100) percent credit back to you. The defective product should be shipped to us freight prepaid and insured using the original box and packing materials (or equivalent packaging obtained from Systemax). Shipment of the repaired or replaced product or part will be made freight collect and is also your responsibility. Before you ship the product(s) to Systemax for repair, back up the data on the hard-disk drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any removable media, such as diskettes, CDs, or PC Cards. If you have any questions, call Systemax for assistance.

Systemax manufactures its computer systems from parts and components that are new or equivalent to new in accordance with industry-standard practices. Systemax owns all parts removed from repaired products. Systemax uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and building replacement products. If Systemax repairs or replaces a product, its warranty term is not extended.

Under no circumstance will Systemax be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages, which may occur during the use of the Systemax PC, or as a result of the product's failure to perform. In all cases, the customer's sole remedy for a product failure is limited to the repair or replacement of the product.

EXCEPT AND TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND SYSTEMAX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT STATED HEREIN. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state. Some states or provinces do not allow limitations or exclusions of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. These provisions apply to Systemax's one-year limited warranty only. For provisions of any on-site service contract covering your system, refer to the separate on-site service contract that you will receive.
