Yr Basic Expressed Warranty and Service Agreement
ITC Mobile Computing (ITC) warrants its products (notebooks and pre-installed
software) to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period
of 12 months from the date of purchase.
Implied Warranty
The Trade Practices Act(1974) implies warranties and conditions
into consumer contracts. These warranties and conditions are independent
and are not affected by the warranty offered by ITC as outlined
in this document.
Extent of Warranty
This warranty covers all components purchased from ITC except for
batteries – see below. During this warranty period ITC will,
at their discretion, repair or replace components of the defective
product. This warranty does not cover damage or failure due to external
causes such as lightning and power surges, fire, abuse or misuse,
operating outside of prescribe environments, problems arising from
integration of products not supplied by ITC and servicing from technicians
not authorised by ITC.
ITC will not be liable in any way for the loss or damage arising
from the use of their products.
Warranty Service Guarantee and 48hr Turnaround Commitment
ITC offers an onsite pickup warranty Australia wide for all notebook
computers sold through our authorized channels. Every ITC notebook
is guaranteed an immediate exchange replacement(DOA Exchange) for
products defective within the first 7 days of warranty. Following
the first 7 days of warranty, ITC is committed to a 48hr repair/replacement
turnaround. This repair time does not include delivery time to and
from ITC’s service headquarters. If ITC is unable to meet
this commitment due to unforeseen circumstances a loan unit will
be arranged, free of charge, for temporary use whilst the defective
product remains in service.
48hr Turnaround Warranty Procedure
Please call (08) 9486 7166 and speak to an ITC Service Technician.
A Service Application form will be sent via your nominated format.
Upon receiving your signed agreement you will be issued with a RMA(Return
Materials Authorisation) number. You can then make arrangements
for delivery of your faulty product to ITC’s repair facility
at 1011 Hay Street, Perth Western Australia 6000. Upon completion
of repairs/replacement within the guaranteed 48hr period, you will
be given the choice of free return delivery or picking up the repaired
product yourself.
Repeat Failure Policy
If you product exhibits the same symptoms of failure after 2 consecutive
repairs over the 12 month warranty period, ITC guarantees a full
replacement unit that is equal or better in specification or value
to your existing unit. ITC may also offer an upgrade opportunity
at reduced cost should the option exist to the benefit of the customer.
Special Conditions for Notebook Batteries
Notebook batteries are considered consumable items and will reduce
in operational life over time. ITC considers a notebook battery
defective if it is only sustains an operational time greater than
30 minutes and less than 1 hour during the warranty period. It is
very important to note that notebook batteries are still susceptible
to overcharging causing cell damage. In order to preserve the maximum
use of your battery, do not continue to charge the battery once
it has reached 100% capacity.
Special Conditions for “Burnt Pixels” on Notebook LCD Screens
Currently production technology does not guarantee LCD Screens can be
produced by without defective or “burnt” pixels. These pixels
are described as “dots” or pin-head sized discolorations on
your notebook screen as they do not have the ability to display the correct
colour your notebook intends. ITC considers any amount of burnt pixels
greater or equal to six, dispersed over the LCD, to be warrantable and
any amount of burnt pixels greater or equal to three clustered (within
1.5mm radius) together to be warrantable. However, due to the often misunderstood
nature of this issue and ITC’s focus on delivering the highest levels
of customer satisfaction, ITC will replace an LCD screen with even one
“burnt” pixel during the DOA period of warranty. The cost
of freight or responsibility of transporting the notebook to ITC’s
repair facility will be borne by the customer. Please note ITC will need
to be notified within 7 days of purchase for this claim to be valid.
