Product Warranty

Avalue warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from

defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by

persons other than repair personnel authorized by Avalue, or which have been subject

to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Avalue assumes no liability under

the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Avalue’s high

quality control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use

our repair service. If any of Avalue’s products is defective, it will be repaired or replaced

at no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed

according to the cost of replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult

your dealer for more details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these

steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU type

and speed, Avalue’s products model name, hardware & BIOS revision number, other

hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen

messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and

any helpful information available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material

authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good return

more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement Order

Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a

shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible

for warranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid to

your dealer.
