WARRANTY POLICY

DIFRNT PC offers its customers an exclusive Limited Lifetime Service Policy (the “Lifetime Warranty Policy”) on all new desktop computers purchased from DIFRNT PC. This Lifetime Warranty Policy is a guarantee that a customer of Difrnt PC who purchases a computer system will not pay for labour or repair charges related to any covered computer parts, during the lifetime of that system. 

This Lifetime Warranty extends only to the original purchaser, original equipment, or subsequent upgrades purchased from and installed by DIFRNT PC and labour/service provided by DIFRNT PC.

In addition to the Lifetime Service Policy, Difrnt PC further warrants the hardware of its new systems as follows:

  • All NEW desktop computer systems include a Lifetime Limited Hardware Warranty (the “Lifetime Warranty”), which covers the original core computer. “Core Computer” is defined as all of the hardware inside the computer case. The Core Computer excludes any special order parts which were specifically requested by the original purchaser, which special order parts are warranted only for as long as their original underlying manufacturer warranty for such parts. Computer monitors are not part of the Core Computer and are covered by Difrnt PC for 1 year only. Because of rapidly and ever changing computer technology and manufacturers, certain parts or components can become unavailable. During the Lifetime Warranty, DIFRNT PC will, at its sole option, repair or replace any defective desktop computer or defective part thereof, at its discretion, with new, used, refurbished, recertified, or comparable parts; however, if a desktop computer or component is no longer manufactured or widely supported in the marketplace, or is not otherwise commercially available during any warranty period in this agreement, making the repair of a desktop computer impracticable, Difrnt PC may, at its sole option, elect not to repair the desktop computer, but instead issue an in-store credit for the then value of the desktop computer.

The Lifetime Warranty Policy, Lifetime Warranty, and the 1-Year Warranty (collective the “Warranties”) are all limited as follows:

  1. Difrnt PC warrants to the original purchaser that the covered hardware, excluding software, documentation and similar items, will be free of defects in workmanship and materials for the warranty period beginning from the date of delivery to Customer. During the applicable warranty period, Difrnt PC will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, the defective hardware system, for covered defects, free of charge for labour and/or parts depending on your warranty period. Parts may not be the same but will be equivalent parts. If the hardware system is defective within the first 30 days Difrnt PC will cover all shipping costs if within the continental United States. Outside of the continental United States, the Customer will pay for shipping both ways no matter when an alleged defect arises.
  2. Inside the UK, Customer will pay for shipping back to Difrnt PC for any components or products sent for service after the initial 30 day period, while Difrnt PC will pay for return shipping back to customer for up to one year after purchase. After the first year of ownership Customer is responsible for any shipping charges to/from Difrnt PC.
  3. Products sent in for authorised repairs/exchange must be shipped in original packaging and accompanied by copies of purchase receipts. Replacement packaging can be requested from Difrnt PC customer support for a fee.
  4. Non-DIFRNT PC repairs, upgrades or installations on any covered Difrnt PC computer system are not covered by, and void the Warranties instantly on any system if modified. Every year during the time a computer is covered by the Warranties, Customer is required to initiate a FREE computer cleaning and tune-up via the Difrnt PC virtual control software, when a technician will remotely tune-up the system. Any individual parts sold or installed separately from the new computer system must be purchased and installed by Difrnt PC to be covered by the Lifetime Warranty Policy, and that separate hardware is only covered to the extent of the original manufacturer’s warranty on such separate parts.
  5. Physical damage, abuse, or neglect, and damage caused by shipping, or misapplication of the product, repair modification, exposure to extremes of temperature or humidity, power fluctuations, lightning or improper electrical power are not covered by the Warranties.
  6. Used or recertified equipment is sold as-is, without warranty, unless otherwise stated in writing on the original purchase invoice.
  7. Software defects are not covered by the Warranties, but may be covered by the warranty of the individual software publishers as set out in the materials accompanying it; opened software is never refundable.
  8. Any missing items must be reported within 48 hours of Customer receipt.
  9. There are no warranties, express or implied, which are not written herein.
  10. It is of utmost importance that Customer protects all data and software on any covered computer system at all times. Difrnt PC is not responsible for loss of time, inconvenience, loss of data or software, inadvertent disclosure of data, loss of files, or any other direct, incidental, or consequential damage loss caused by a covered computer system failing to properly operate, or caused by any fault or negligence of Difrnt PC. Even though Difrnt PC may attempt to backup and transfer certain data, and attempts to avoid situations where Customer data or software is lost, such occurrences of data loss, for a variety of reasons, are common. Customer agrees that prior to delivering a computer for service, Customer has independently backed up all software and data on the computer, and is prepared for, and expects that all data may be lost on the computer during or following any repair procedure, and Customer specifically agrees and understands that this document is intended to limit the liability of Difrnt PC for such data losses. Customer warrants that there is no illegal data or software content on any computer left for Warranties service.
  11. Warranty repairs or service do not extend the length of the Warranties and any computer left unclaimed for 30 days becomes the property of Difrnt PC.
  12. Liquid cooling/water cooling components are covered for 1 year only, and are not included in the Lifetime Parts warranty on any Difrnt PC system.
  13. If purchase was funded using BitCoin and a refund is requested, 20% restocking fee still applies. The refund will be issued in U.S. Dollars less the restocking fee on the original invoice when the order was placed.
  14. Difrnt PC is not responsible for bit mining markets or losses.
  15. Difrnt PC offers a service commonly referred to as “de-lidding”, which involves treating certain Core Computer components with gel for increased cooling which is beneficial in some over-clocked computers. While Difrnt PC provides this service, it will thereafter not provide a warranty on any computer which it “de-lids”, and no warranty described herein will apply to a computer which has undergone this process.
  16. Difrnt PC does not cover “wear-and-tear” damage due to Crypto mining. If any PC component, including but not limited to; GPU, CPU, RAM, or HDD/SSD/M.2, is determined to be used for Crypto mining then any active warranties will be at the sole discretion of the component manufacturer and will not be covered under any warranty or service by Difrnt PC.
