WARRANTY

Software & Operating Systems: Any software that is on the client’s computer or comes per-installed with our systems, including the operating system, is not covered by the warranty.

FACTORY WARRANTY:
The factory warranty is a limited warranty that is offered by the manufacturers of the various computer components and is limited to their specific terms and conditions of sale and their return policies.
