Hardware

Most hardware (including CPU, motherboard, memory, video cards, sound cards, and peripherals) are covered by a limited one year manufacturer's warranty (return to base, except when otherwise stated). This warranty covers products that become faulty during the first year from date of invoice, resulting from normal use. If the product is tampered with, abused, or become faulty due to misuse or negligence, the warranty will be void.

Monitors
Monitors come with 3 years manufacturer's warranty. Some manufacturer's offer pickup and delivery, while others require you to take it to their nearest service centre. Please check with the manufacturer to determine the exact type of warranty that is offered with the product. Alternatively, just ask our consultants.

Warranty Procedures
If a product becomes faulty, (and it is still within the warranty period) you will need to bring it to our premises with the original invoice. We will book it in for RA and give you an RA slip for reference. Our technicians will then test it and if confirmed that the product is faulty, we will send it back to the manufacturer/distributor for repair/replacement. When we receive the repaired/replaced unit back from the manufacturer, our technician will contact you and advise you that the product is ready for pickup. This usually takes about two weeks, but depending on the nature of the problem and availability of the item, it could be quicker or possibly take longer. We can not guarantee that repairs/replacements be provided within a specific time frame because there are many factors involved that is beyond our control.

Warranty for LCD Monitors
LCD monitors are usually covered by a 3 years manufacturer's warranty. However, due to the nature of LCD monitors, it is a widely acknowledged fact that pixel problems can occur and different manufacturers have different 'Dead Pixel Policies'. If your LCD monitor has bright or dead pixels (whether it is upon arrival or after a period of time) and the number of them present is within that particular manufacturer's 'Dead Pixel Policy', then the unit is not considered 'faulty' and is hence not qualified for repair/replacement under warranty. For more information about the 'Dead Pixel Policy' that applies to a specific LCD monitor, please contact the manufacturer or talk to our sales team. Washington Digital will replace, free of charge any parts which in our opinion, after examination by us, are defective through faulty, material or manufacture.

All freight costs for warranty claims must be paid by the customer.
