IMPORANT INFORMATION REGARDS MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES FOR COMPONENTS WHICH ARE PART OF A CUSTOM DESKTOP PC OR LAPTOP

A number of manufacturers such as SAMSUNG offer extended warranties which for example with SAMSUNG extend the warranty of their storage products such as their M.2 SSDs to 5 Years. This warranty is a manufacturer specific warranty only and is not provided by Cusom Computers & Technologies Limited or Ares Core Technologies. The Hardware Warranty term included with our custom desktop pcs and laptops is maximum 2 years for hardware components. The customer can however after the expiration of the 2 year warranty claim extended warranty direct from the manufacturer in this case being Samsung. The manufacturer will not allow ourselves to process an extended warranty and any claim for manufacturers warranty must be direct between the customer and in this example Samsung. Many manufactuers will only provide extended or lifetime warranty when the product is registered with them for the extended warranty and this must happen within a very short period of the date of your invoice or order. It should also be noted that when purchaseing a custom pc or laptop we do not provide a seperation on the Invoice to show the manufacturers part number for a component and this may limit the customers ability to register with a manufacturer for extended warranty. We would advice you contact the manufacturer and register the purhcase of the compoent and you can also explain to them that the component was purchased within a PC Build. We are not aware of any manufacturer refusing to extend the warranty due ot the component being part of a PC Build but they do have the right to refuse to extend the warranty unless you register with them. I fyou do not register a component for extended warranty within 30 days of the purchase the manufactuer generally will not allow a return under the terms of their extended warranty. We are not permitted as a system integrator to register for the manufacturers extended warranty and this can only be done by the customer direct with the manuacturer. Extended warranties which go past our oen 2 Year Hardware Warranty can include Motherboards , Memory , SSDs , HDDS & Graphics Cards. Manufacturer extended warranties do not cover physical damage including Over Clocking and from what we have seen manufacturers are very strict when it comes to their extended and lifetime warranties. An example of this would if you had 2 x 8GB DDR5 Memory modules in your PC and one of the modules failed with you then returning the single module the manufacturer would refuse warranty unless you return the 2 modules together. This is a mere example of what can happen if you attempt to obtain extended warranty. We cease the hardware warranty with our PCs & Laptops at 2 Years as this is the maximum warranty period offered to us by the manufacturer and outside of 2 years we are unable to return under warranty any component through normal distribution channels and therefore the only way for an item outside of 2 years to be returned using a manufacturers extended warranty if for the customer to return direct to the manufacturer. The cost of returning a component to a manufacturer can make the entire process unecomonic based on the value of the compoment versus the shipping costs let alone considering the period of time your PC or Laptop would be left not working as manufacturer extended warranties generally always give the manufacturer 90 days after receipt of the component before they have to return the component. There are occasions where returning for example an end of life motherboard under warranty will be the only option for a customer as it is no longer possible to purchase a replacement motherboard. We believe the customer should in this circumstance speak with support at the manufacturer as they also may not be able to replace and end of life motherboard with their solution being to provide a similar new model however this does not mean the newer model will be compatible with older memory or processors and in this situation we recommend the customer speak with our support staff as we may be able to offer a different solution however our solution may incur a fee which is outside of warranty. This is a notice providing advice on manufacturer extended warranties outside of the 2 Year Hardware warranty provided by ourselves to you our customer. We are here to help to please always contact us first before going direct to a manufactuer even if you are outside of the term of the warranty we offered with the PC or Laptop built by ourselves as we may have a solution which will be cost effective and quicker than waiting months for a manufacturer to provide a solution. There will be times when the only option is to seek the extended warranty from the manufacturer however this is the exception.
