1-year (365 calendar day) is provided for the purchase of any product from us. The warranty covers hardware and software issues not caused by customer negligence. The warranty will be voided if the product is damaged as per the scenario set out herein, i.e., water damage, drop damage, screen pressure-related issues, broken warranty seal, or ordinary wear and tear.
The warranty will begin from the day of purchase of the product, this day will be regarded as day 1 of the warranty.
For products which are still within the warranty period, any repair cost will be free of charge, subjected to the result of inspection by our technicians.
You are responsible for keeping the receipt as proof of payment for the warranty.
The warranty also extends to all 3Ccat purchases as well
Examples for warranty voided scenario are as follows:
Our warranty does not cover damages incurred due to exposure to water or any other liquid. Instances such as accidental submersion, exposure to rain, or liquid spills will cause the warranty to be voided. For example, if a device is found to have water damage, the warranty will be voided.
Example Scenario: "Accidental Submersion"
A customer mistakenly drops their smartphone into a pool while taking a photo. Upon retrieval, the device exhibits signs of water damage, such as malfunctioning buttons, distorted display, and erratic behaviour. The warranty will be voided in this scenario due to exposure to liquid.
Any damage resulting from accidental or intentional drops or impacts will not be covered under the warranty. This includes but is not limited to cracked screens, dents, or any impairment caused by the dropping of the device. For example, if a phone's screen is cracked due to a fall, it falls outside the scope of our warranty coverage.
Example Scenario: "Impact from a Fall"
A user accidentally drops their phone while rushing to catch a bus. The impact resulted in a cracked screen and impaired functionality. Since the damage is a direct consequence of a fall, it falls outside the scope of the warranty coverage.
Our warranty excludes damages caused by excessive pressure applied to the screen or display area. This includes situations where undue force resulted in cracks, distortions, or malfunctions of the screen or display area. For instance, if pressure applied to the screen leads to visible damage or performance issues, will not be covered under the warranty.
Example Scenario: "Excessive Force Applied"
A customer applies excessive pressure to the phone screen while attempting to clean it with a sharp object, causing visible cracks and distortions to the display. This type of damage, resulting from inappropriate handling, will not be covered under the warranty.
Additionally, please note that any evidence of the warranty seal being broken or tampered with will result in the voiding of the warranty. The warranty seal is in place to ensure the integrity of the device. If the seal is broken, it indicates potential unauthorized access or alterations, leading to the nullification of warranty coverage.
Example Scenario: "Unauthorized Device Opening"
A customer, attempting to troubleshoot an issue, decides to open the device's casing, breaking the warranty seal in the process. After discovering a technical problem beyond their expertise, the customer contacts customer support for warranty service. However, the broken warranty seal indicates that the device has been opened without authorization, leading to the voiding of the warranty. Unauthorized access to the device's internal hardware, evidenced by the broken seal, is not covered under our warranty terms.
Our warranty does not cover damages resulting from ordinary wear and tear. This includes expected deterioration of the device over time due to regular use. Examples of ordinary wear and tear may include minor cosmetic scratches, fading of colours, or slight performance changes consistent with the device's normal aging process. While we stand by the quality of our products, you will not be eligible for our warranty service for ordinary wear and tear of the products.
Example Scenario: "Battery Performance Over Time"
Over the course of several months, a customer notices a gradual decrease in their device's battery performance. While the device initially provided extended usage between charges, the customer now observes a shorter battery life. This change is attributed to the ordinary wear and tear of the battery, a common occurrence with lithium-ion batteries over time.
