BenQ Europe General Terms and Conditions of Warranty for End Customer.

Disclosure

This document serves as a guideline for manufacturing warranty periods and manufacturing warranty services provided by BenQ Europe - "BenQ" -  Variations may occur.

The manufacturing warranty is an addition to your contractual rights against the person supplying ("reseller") the BenQ Electronic Products ( "Products") to End Customers ("you") and to any legal rights you have against BenQ or any other person. These rights vary by country and are not affected in any way by this warranty.

 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, BenQ warrants the Products you have purchased from a BenQ authorized reseller to be free from defects in materials or workmanship under normal consumer use during the warranty period. If the Product becomes defective during the warranty period BenQ will, at its option, repair or exchange the Product.

The warranty is invalidated if the defect is caused (howsoever) by misuse, neglect, and tampering or incorrect adjustment / installation. This also occurs if any unauthorized persons carry out any alterations and/or repairs. For further information regarding the correct use of our Products, please read the user manual.

The warranty period for BenQ Products applies from the date of purchase by the first customer. It is transferable only between end costumers and has to be accompanied by the first costumers original proof of purchase, that must contain the units serial number. If your proof of purchase does not contain a valid serial number, please contact the BenQ Team for further assistance.

BenQ may extend or limit the manufacturing warranty period and service terms of the Products, that have not yet entered the sale chain, at any point. This will be verified by using the Products serial number and will be correlated with the proof of purchase.

During the warranty period, BenQ will repair or replace defective hardware with factory refurbished parts and products. All exchanged parts and BenQ Product replaced under this warranty will become the property of BenQ.
