Warranty, Refunds & Returns
Terms & Conditions
Upon sales of our products, you agree to our warranty and return terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before making a purchase.
Warranty
- We advise you to fully inspect the product upon arrival to allow queries to be dealt with as soon as possible. Check the contents of the package to see that all necessary items are included. Check the condition of the product, and that it matches the specification advertised and meets your expectations. Keep all paperwork we provide (invoices etc.) for the whole warranty period. If you have any problems, contact us as soon as possible.
- Our warranty duration begins with our 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. During the first 30 days (from your sales invoice date) you can ask for a refund or replacement if you are not fully satisfied with the product for any reason.
- After 30 days, all queries will be dealt with by warranty repair only. No refunds/replacement products will be issued after the 30 days have passed. For laptops and desktops, you have a 12 month warranty from Discounted Laptops, starting from the sales invoice date. For all other products please check the specific paperwork.
- Sales invoices will state the period of warranty available with the purchased product. Terms such as RTB are defined as “Return To Base” which means the product must be returned to our office address for repair/query/assessment/refund in all circumstances or situations. We do not provide on-site warranty, call outs, visits to offices etc.
- Most of our products have no manufacturer’s warranty. This warranty is discontinued when we purchase from the manufacturer. All support is removed by the manufacturer. Serial numbers or Service Tags are now void. Transfer of ownership is not possible. Please do not contact the product manufacturer for support or help as they are not responsible. We, as the sellers of the product have now taken ownership of this responsibility, and you should contact us if you have any problems.
