The following terms and conditions apply to all sales unless there is a written contractual agreement stating otherwise.
All Returns Are Subject to Manufacturers' Policies
Return privileges are subject to
various manufacturers' policies. Many manufacturers have imposed certain
return restrictions. PCH Micro, Inc reserves the right to decline
specific return requests based on those restrictions. Be sure to ask
your Account Manager about specific return conditions before you
purchase any item.
Packaging of Returns
All returns, defective or
otherwise, must be 100% complete, contain ALL original boxes and packing
material, have original UPC codes on the manufacturer's packaging,
contain all blank warranty cards, accessories, and documentation
provided by the manufacturer. Incomplete returns, open or used products,
or products not in new condition will be assessed additional restocking
fees depending on condition and PCH Micro, Inc ability to re-market the
returned product. PCH Micro, Inc will refuse any return of items missing
UPC codes.
Nonrefundable Charges
Labor, installation services, and
shipping charges are nonrefundable. Customer is responsible for all
return shipping charges; therefore, all returns must be shipped prepaid. PCH Micro, Inc will only accept returns via FEDEX or UPS with a tracking
and appropriate insurance. PCH Micro is not responsible for lost
parcels.
Returns for Non-Defective Items
All non-defective returns
authorized by PCH Micro, Inc, whether opened or unopened, will be assessed
a minimum 20% restocking fee, and must be authorized for return within
30 days from date of receipt. No refunds will be issued after such 30
day period. Authorization may be obtained by contacting PCH Micro, Inc.
Customer will be issued a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) which
is valid for 10 days. Failure to return a product within such 10 day
authorization period will be deemed to be an acceptance of the product.
Defective/Dead on Arrival (DOA) Merchandise
DOA products must be reported and
returned within the first 30 days of receipt and, if deemed by us to be
defective, may be repaired or replaced at our sole discretion. Some
manufacturers and publishers require DOAs to be handled directly with
the manufacturer, and in these cases, we will provide the contact
information. DOA returns that prove through testing not to be defective
are subject to a minimum 15% restocking fee. After 30 days, the
manufacturer's warranty process must be followed.
Damaged Products
All packages shipped from PCH Micro, Inc are inspected prior to shipment. However, from time to time,
damage during shipping may occur. Packages that are obviously damaged
should be refused upon original delivery attempt. If the package is
accepted, then any damage should be noted on the carrier delivery record
prior to the driver leaving your premises. Any hidden or internal
damage to any product must be reported within the first 7 days of
receipt to arrange for a carrier inspection and return of the damaged
product(s). Please save the product, the shipping carton and all
manufacturer packaging. Timely receipt of this information is necessary
for PCH Micro, Inc to file a damage claim. Failure to notify PCH Micro, Inc
of damage within this time period will be deemed an acceptance of the
product, and standard return policies will apply.
Refused Orders
All refused orders (for reasons
other than shipping damage) will be subject to a minimum 20% restocking
fee. Shipping charges are not refundable if shipment is refused at the
time of delivery. In addition, refused orders will be subject to
additional shipping charges to cover the cost of returning the products
to PCH Micro, Inc.
Open Box Items
PCH Micro, Inc offers a 30-day refund-only return policy for all open box
merchandise. Remember if you purchase a Open Box product you will
receive an OEM BAREBONE item, meaning you will only receive the item
itself. Accessories are NOT INCLUDED with Open Box products, even if the
missing accessory is required for the item to function properly.
Laptop Battery Returns
30 day return allowed for dead on arrival batteries (subject 20% minimum re-stock fee). Open boxed product can NOT be returned.

Additional CPU Warranty Terms
- All defective and DOA CPUs will be replaced upon return.
- PCH Micro will not cross-ship replacement CPUs.
- Physically damaged CPUs cannot be returned to PCH Micro, including physical damage due to improper installation.
Physical damage to any product will void the product's warranty.
Improper installation of CPU fans and/or improper clocking may cause
CPUs to chip. CPUs that are chipped, burnt or have bent pins are
considered physically damaged and cannot be returned for refund or
replacement. Physical damage includes but is not limited to improper
handling and/or any other type of damage sustained by irregular usage.
PCH Micro, Inc encounters bent pins regularly when inspecting physically damaged
CPUs. Forcing a processor into position will not solve an installation
problem and may result in applicable warranty coverage being voided.
Because Intel and AMD do not accept physically damaged processors, PCH Micro, Inc will return any physically damaged CPU to you at your expense.
SoftwareRetail Boxed software may only be returned for refund within 30 days of
the invoice date if the packaging is unopened and factory sealed. Opened
retail boxed software can only be returned for replacement if it is

identical replacement by contacting PCH Micro, Inc Customer Service and
acquiring an RMA number. No software returns will be accepted after 30
days. All OEM software including Operating Systems is non-refundable
once purchased and delivered. OEM versions are intended for system
builders only and cannot be transferred to another PC once it is

terms of the System Builder
License, including responsibility for providing all end-user support. PCH Micro, Inc is not responsible for system/software incompatibility, and
incompatibility issues do not qualify software as damaged or defective.
