Product Warranty
Warranty Period
ADVANTECH aims to meet the customer’s expectations for post-sales service and
support; therefore, in addition to offering 2 years global warranty for ADVANTECH’s
standard products, a global extended warranty service is also provided for customers
upon request. ADVANTECH customers are entitled to a complete and prompt repair
service beyond the standard 2 years of warranty.
Standard products manufactured by ADVANTECH are covered by a 2 year global
warranty from the date of shipment. Products covered by extended warranty and
cross-region repair services against defects in design, materials, and workmanship,
are also covered from the date of shipment. All key parts assembled into ADVAN-
TECH system products such as LCD, Touch Screen, Power Supply, and peripherals
etc, will be also covered by the standard 2 year warranty.
Repairs under Warranty
It is possible to obtain a replacement (Cross-Shipment) during the first 30 days of
purchase (45 days for Channel Partners), if the products were purchased directly
from ADVANTECH and the product is DOA (Dead-on-Arrival).
DOA Cross-Shipment excludes any customized and/or build-to-order products. The
Cross-Shipment agreement signed by customers is required for initiating/releasing
cross shipment with ADVANTECH confirmation and verification. The only conditions
for Cross-Shipment are: a) the return must not be damaged, altered or marked, b) all
parts and accessories must be included as originally shipped; and c) proof of pur-
chase must be included. Any returns that do not meet mentioned requirements
above, or any wrong user settings/configurations will be denied, or subject to addi-
tional handling/service charges as determined by the ADVANTECH Repair Service
Department.
For those products which are not DOA, the return fee to an authorized ADVANTECH
repair facility will be at the customers’ expense. The shipping fee for reconstructive
products from ADVANTECH back to customers’ sites will be at ADVANTECH’s
expense.
Exclusions from Warranty
The product is excluded from warranty if:
The product has been found to be defective after expiry of the warranty period.
Warranty has been voided by removal or alternation of product or part identifica-
tion labels.
The product has been misused, abused, or subjected to unauthorized disas-
sembly/modification; placed in an unsuitable physical or operating environment;
improperly maintained by the customer; or failure caused which ADVANTECH is
not responsible whether by accident or other cause. Such conditions will be
determined by ADVANTECH at its sole unfettered discretion.
The product is damaged beyond repair due to a natural disaster such as a light-
ing strike, flood, earthquake, etc.
Product updates/upgrades and tests upon the request of customers who are
without warranty.
