30-DAY LIMITED MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ON System76 PRODUCTS

The System76 Limited Product Warranty on System76 Branded Hardware

System76 branded hardware products come with the option for either a 1-year, 2-year or 3-year limited product warranty, except that all batteries and chargers are warranted for only one (1) year. To determine which warranty you purchased, please review your packing slip or invoice. The following sections detail the terms of the System76 Limited Product Warranty and Return Policy for the United States, our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee as well as some special considerations for International Orders.

Scope of the System76 Limited Product Warranty

System76 warrants to the original purchaser that any System76 branded hardware will be free of defects in workmanship and materials for the applicable limited warranty period set forth in your packing slip or invoice, which is measured from the date of shipment. Importantly, this limited product warranty does not cover:

• non-System76 branded hardware products and accessories e.g., monitors, speakers, printers, portable devices, etc.;
• software, including the operating system and software as well as any third party software;
• product that has been damaged by actions that are beyond System76's control, including for example, impacts, fluids, fire, flood, wind, earthquake, lightning or similar disaster, war, strike, lockout, epidemic, destruction of production facilities, riot, insurrection, or material unavailability;
• product that has been damaged through misuse, abuse or mishandling, including without limitation the unauthorized modification of the system as a whole or any individual component, and/or the attachment of peripheral devices; product for which System76 has not received payment; or
• paint or finish.

During your applicable limited product warranty period, if a covered product is proven to be defective in workmanship or materials, System76 will, at its option:

1. replace or repair the defective component; or
2. replace the product with a comparable product.

Replacement parts will be new or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to the original part or product, and warranted for the longer of fourteen days or the remainder of the warranty period. Replacement products may be refurbished, and are warranted for the longer of fourteen days or the remainder of the applicable limited warranty period. Any additional purchases or upgrades will not extend this limited product warranty

If we determine that the problem with the product is not covered by the limited product warranty, we will inform you of alternative solutions that may be available to you on a fee-for-service basis.

THIS WARRANTY AGREEMENT GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION).

How will System76 fix a defective, warranted product?

We will first attempt to diagnose and resolve the problem through a support case. If we determine that the problem is with a defective component covered by your warranty, then we will, at our option, either:

1. have you send your product to our repair facilities for repair or replacement; or
2. send you a component part to replace the defective component.

If our technical support agents determine that a user serviceable component replacement is necessary we will require a valid credit card number to send the replacement part. System76 will not charge the credit card as long as you return the original part to us within ten (10) days after you receive the replacement part. If we do not receive the original part within ten (10) days from the date you received the replacement part, we will charge to your credit card the quoted price for that part.

If our technical support agents determine that your product must be returned to our facilities for repair or replacement, we will issue you a Return Material Authorization Number. We will then send you a shipping label for shipping your product, at our expense, to our facilities. You must, however, return the product to us in its original or equivalent packaging. We will, at our expense, return the repaired or replacement product to you. We will pay shipping expenses both ways only if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, you are responsible for shipping the product to our designated repair facility and we will either collect the cost of return shipping or ship the product back to you freight collect.

System76 also offers, along with its Limited Product Warranty, the possibility of onsite replacement of defective components. Please check your invoice to see if your warranty includes onsite replacement. If we, System76 agree that a system component(s) should be replaced by an onsite technician, we will then send the replacement part(s) to you and request that you send us back the defective component(s). We will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a replacement part under this option, but will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the original part to us within ten (10) days after you receive the replacement part. If we do not receive the original part within ten (10) days from the date you received the replacement part, we will charge to your credit card the quoted price for that part.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you ship product to us or before you replace a part, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.

International Orders

Duties and applicable taxes are not calculated or charged by System76. International customers are solely responsible for any shipping costs, as well as duties and/or taxes that may be incurred from the international transit of any part or system for repair.

Dead Pixel Policy

All notebook displays use TFT technology, manufactured according to high industry standards, to guarantee trouble-free personal computing. Nevertheless, your display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays and cannot be avoided by any of our models. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. System76 follows the common bad pixel policy from the industry.

Following the industry standard, System76 warrants a defective LCD display as having 6 or more bad pixels and will accept delivery of such a system within 30 days from the invoice date for a replacement.
