Scalable Systems provides a 30-Day Return Window (see Return of Non-Defective Products below) and the following limited warranty. This limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser.

Please note that any warranty services or questions must be accompanied by the order number from the transaction through which the warranted product was purchased. The order number serves as your warranty number and must be retained. Scalable Systems will offer no warranty service without this number.

Scalable Systems warrants this product and its parts against defects in materials or workmanship for three years labor and parts from the original ship date. During this period, Scalable Systems will repair or replace defective parts with new or reconditioned parts at Scalable Systems’s option, without charge to you.

Shipping fees incurred from returns for under-warranty service in the first 30-days will be paid by Scalable Systems. All shipping fees both to and from Scalable Systems following this 30-day period must be paid by the customer. All returns, both during and following the 30-day period, must be affected via the Procedures for Obtaining Warranty Service described below.

All original parts (parts installed by Scalable Systems at the original system build) replaced by Scalable Systems or its authorized service center, become the property of Scalable Systems. Any after-market additions or modifications will not be warranted. The computer system owner is responsible for the payment, at current rates, for any service or repair outside the scope of this limited warranty.

Procedures for Obtaining Warranty Service

RMA (Returning Merchandise Authorization) Policy:

If repairs are required, the customer must obtain a RMA number and provide proof of purchase. RMA and services are rendered by Scalable Systems only. Any shipping costs after 30 days (starting from the original date of purchase) on any item returned for repair is the customers’ responsibility. All returned parts must have a RMA number written clearly on the outside of the package along with a letter detailing the problems and a copy of the original proof of purchase. No COD packages will be accepted. No package will be accepted without a RMA number written on the outside of the package. RMA numbers are only valid for 30 days from the date of issue.

Should you have any problems with your computer, please follow these procedures to obtain the service:

1. If you have purchased our on-site warranty, please find your warranty# (the order number from the transaction through which the warranted product was originally purchased) and contact Scalable Systems Support Service.

2. If the computer must be repaired, a RMA number (Return Merchandise Authorization Number) will be issued for shipment to our repair department. Please follow the instructions given by Scalable Systems technical support staff to ship your computer. Scalable Systems will not accept any shipments without a RMA number.

3. Pack the computer in its original box or a well-protected box, as outlined in the Return Shipping Instructions. Scalable Systems will not be responsible for shipping damage/loss of any product outside the original 30-day Scalable Systems-paid service period. It is very important that you write the RMA number clearly on the outside of the package. Ship the computer with a copy of your bill of sale or other proof of purchase, your name, address, phone number, description of the problem(s), and the RMA number you have obtained to:

4. Upon receiving the computer, Scalable Systems will repair or replace your computer (at Scalable Systems’s discretion) and will ship it back to you within 2 weeks (dependent on parts availability).

5. Cross-exchange (Parts only): You will need to provide a valid credit card number as a deposit guarantee when the RMA number is issued. Once approval has been obtained on your credit card, the part(s) will be shipped. You will need to ship defective part(s) back to Scalable Systems within 15 days to avoid charges to your credit card. If such charges are incurred, the shipped part(s) will be billed at the then current price.

6. Scalable Systems will pay for shipping to and from the customer only within the first thirty days following the original product ship date. Following this 30-day period all shipping fees both for under warranty and post warranty repairs are the sole responsibility of the customer. The customer also assumes full liability for losses or damages resulting from shipping as well as all responsibility to pursue remuneration for such issues with their selected carrier.
