8.9 When returning all, or part, of an order, the “buyer” has a duty of care to ensure all returned items are securely packaged when returning to the “seller”. This includes when the “seller” arranges courier collection on behalf of the “buyer”. It is strongly recommended the “buyer” uses the original packaging materials. Where the original packaging is unavailable, the “seller” may be able to provide replacement packing materials for a cost. If products are found to be packed inadequately, the “buyer” will need to pay for any repairs or replacements as required. Neither the “seller” nor the courier service will not be held responsible for any damage to returned product caused by poor or inadequate packing.
8.10 Monitors purchased from the “seller” should be considered as class 2 (unless specified otherwise) which comply with ISO 13406-2 which details Dead pixel policy for LCD screens. The “seller” can not guarantee that all LCD panels will be free from dead pixels, or that the manufacturer of the monitor will replace it.

8.16 The “buyer” is allowed under the terms of warranty to install 3rd party parts/software on the system, without voiding the warranty. However, the following terms must be adhered to:
a) If any components in the system are physically damaged due to mishandlement or the fitting of new components, the warranty will be void.
b) It is your responsibility to check that your new components are compatible with all aspects of your system. If any new components installed by yourself or a 3rd party cause issues with the system, the warranty will be void.

Where the original packaging is unavailable, or where this grace period for free collection has elapsed, liability for any shipping costs passes to the “buyer”. The “seller” can, at their discretion (for orders within UK Mainland only), offer a refund of up to £20 to cover shipping costs incurred by the customer when returning product to the “seller” within 1 calendar month (or as extended by any warranty upgrades purchased by the “buyer”). This is dependent upon receipt of ‘proof of purchase’ for the shipping costs and does not apply to any costs incurred for packaging materials
8.18 The “seller” will try to turn around any repair/replacement parts within a reasonable timeframe from the date receiving. In some “EOL” cases, a part may need to be sent back to the original manufacturer or supplier for replacement as the “seller” cannot find a suitable replacement. This is unfortunately un-avoidable because the parts are no longer manufactured.
8.19 All warranty terms apply to UK mainland only. Any claimants outside of the UK mainland will need to pay shipping to the “seller” and also back to the “buyer” in case of warranty claims. If the “buyer” and product are currently out of the UK mainland address scope, the “seller” can not refund any shipping costs (even within the 1 month grace period).

8.21 Any damage to the products (such as scratched or cracked PC case) should be reported to the “seller” within 48hrs of receiving the goods, and have valid photo evidence showing this. If damage is not reported within this timeframe, the “buyer” must pay for a replacement part, or accept it as it is. This is classed as “user damage”.
8.22 Any packages shipped back under the warranty period that have sustained damage, the “buyer” will be notified with an explanation of why the “seller” believes this has happened. The “seller” will also provide photo evidence for use in insurance claims.
8.23 When a product’s entirety or parts are replaced under warranty, the warranty term is not extended under any circumstance.
8.24 Accidental damage, misuse, problems with electrical power, servicing by 3rd parties, acts of god and usage not in accordance to product specifications (i.e. the “buyer” overclocking the system) shall not be covered under this warranty. This is classed as “user damage”.
8.25 “Reseller System” shall be warranted for 1 year parts, and 1 year labour, unless otherwise specified by the reseller. A proof of purchase will be required for all warranty claims.
8.26 Standard, Mid and Full 3 year warranties that the “seller” offer are in conjunction with the normal terms and conditions, and do not extend warranties for parts. Standard is for 1 year (parts cover & 3 years free labour) from date the “buyer” received the goods collecting and returning, Mid is 2 years (parts cover & 3 years free labour) from date the “buyer” received the goods collecting and returning and Full is 3 years (parts & 3 years free labour) from date the “buyer” received the goods collecting and returning. The “seller” can not offer any grace periods for these collect and return warranty types.
8.27 The “seller” will try their upmost to fix an issue back for warranty repair using information provided by the “buyer” previous to the RMA request.
