Warranty Claim Procedure

• All warranty claims are to be submitted with a completed Return of Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) Form. This form is available from the service department. On acceptance the faulty part is sent to the distributor for repair or replacement.
  This can take time if the part has been phased out (discontinued) or needs a major repair from the manufacturer.
  Technogeek does not take any responsibilities for such delays.
  If the item is a current stocked item and a part of Technogeek System, it will be replaced from stock if available (note we are not a shop and do not carry parts as per usual) to avoid inconvenience.
  The client will have the opportunity at all times to upgrade to the next model at a minimal charge to avoid any down time on our computer System.

Warranty Turnaround Time

• Depending on availability, some items may be swapped immediately from our stock supplies, whereas some other products often require Return Authority through the manufacturer or Approved Australian Distributor.
  Turnaround time for warranty claims largely depends on the suppliers or the distributors.
  A normal warranty claim includes the time to test the item, shipping to the supplier, supplier's own test and replacement / repair, and return.
  We do not provide advance replacement unless the system is covered by Technogeek Premium Cover.
  Technogeek is not responsible for any losses resulting from the time it takes to have the faulty item replaced or repaired.
  If a faulty part or product is replaced then the warranty period continues from the original date of purchase, unless otherwise specified.
