Responsibility for Damage

In the case of Products that are received damaged, if the damages were not caused by shipping, the damages are the customer's responsibility (parts and labor). If there is no shipping damage, then the customer is responsible for the as-found condition of the computer when it arrives at our location. Our intake inspection is the only condition that will be valid in identifying damage. The Product should be returned in the original packaging to avoid shipping damage. Poorly packaged Product returns are likely to be damaged, and the shipper may not accept responsibility for the damage. In such cases, the customer is responsible for Product damages (parts and labor).

The shipper must be notified upon delivery, or shortly thereafter, if there is shipping damage to the Product.
