Since the general law is uncertain and imprecise, Synapptic offers this Hardware Warranty to the customer, so as to avoid any uncertainty and offer peace of mind.

What does the Hardware Warranty cover?
The Hardware Warranty covers the repair, and if repair is not possible, replacement of any mobile phone, tablet or TV Box purchased from us, for 1 year from the date the customer has received their order for the Product under warranty. If a Product needs to be replaced, we will replace the product with the same or a similar product and re-install any software back onto the new replacement device, including transferring apps and data where possible. The Hardware Warranty lasts for 1 year from the date the customer received their order and this date is not affected or reset by repairs or replacements issued under the warranty. Replacement of phones, tablets or TV Boxes is limited to 2 replacements only within the period of the Hardware Warranty. Repairs under the warranty are unlimited.

These obligations are dependent upon proper use of the products and do not cover any parts of the products which have been modified or repaired without Synapptic’s prior written consent. The liability of Synapptic is limited to the cost of repair and/or replacement of the product under warranty.

Customers must allow Synapptic’s technical staff reasonable access to their mobile phone, tablet or TV Box for the purpose of diagnosing problems and carrying out repairs. Such access may include remote support. If access is denied, then Synapptic has no liability under the Hardware Warranty to repair or replace the hardware items listed above.

What does the Hardware Warranty not include?

The Hardware Warranty does not apply to:

  • Any product where the serial number has been removed or damaged
  • Any defects caused (howsoever) by misuse, neglect, and tampering or incorrect adjustment
  • If unauthorised persons have previously carried out any alterations and/or repairs
  • If a defect is caused by an external cause such as fair wear & tear, software or hardware loaded onto or connected to the product by the customer where this software or hardware has not been supplied by Synapptic, an accident, hazard, humidity control, severe weather conditions, electrical stress or other environmental conditions not commonly found in a safe home or office environment
  • Parts not critical to product function, including but not limited to charger-port covers and detachable phone backs
  • Third Party manufactured software or products
  • Any delivery charges for returning the products to us.

Please note: If your product is not covered under this Hardware Warranty, we may charge you delivery costs for returning the product back to you.

22. HARDWARE CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

All Smartphones and Tablets purchased from Synapptic are brand new items. In order to pre-install the Synapptic software and configure the Android setting accordingly, we have to open each box. After configuring and installing the Synapptic Software the device is placed back in the original box and re-sealed with a Synapptic security sticker.

23. TV LICENSE
