ALIENWARE LIMITED 90-DAY PRODUCT WARRANTY ON ALIENWARE BRANDED HARDWARE

Scope of the Alienware Limited Product Warranty

Alienware warrants to the original purchaser that any Alienware 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-Alienware branded hardware products and accessories e.g., monitors, speakers, and most Gear Shop items;
• Software, including the operating system and software added through AlienFactory™, Alienware’s factory integration system, as well as any third party software;
• Product that has been damaged by actions that are beyond Alienware’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 Alienware 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, Alienware 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.

How will Alienware fix a defective, warranted product?

For watches, the CE-IV MP3 music player and the Hub, please see the warranty provided with your purchase for specific terms and conditions that apply to these products.

For all other covered products, we will first attempt to diagnose and resolve the problem over the telephone. If we determine that the problem is with a defective component covered by your warranty, then we will, at our option, either: (a) have you send your product to our repair facilities for repair or replacement; (b) send a technician to your home or place of business to replace the defective component; or (c) send you a component part to replace the defective component.

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 Miami Repair Facility and we will ship the product back to you freight collect.

Alienware 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, Alienware 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 five (5) days after you receive the replacement part. If we do not receive the original part within five (5) days from the date you received the replacement part, we will charge to your credit card the then-current standard 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.
