1. What is Warranty?

• A warranty for electronics is a guarantee provided by the manufacturer or retailer, stating that they will repair or replace a product if necessary within a certain period after purchase, typically due to defects in materials or workmanship.

2. Types of Warranty

• Manufacturer's Warranty: Provided by the product manufacturer, typically for 1-2 years.
• Extended Warranty: Optional coverage purchased beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty, usually offering extra protection for a longer period.
• Retailer Warranty: Offered by the store or retailer from where the product was purchased, sometimes differing from the manufacturer's warranty.

3. Coverage Inclusions

• Defective Parts: If any internal parts malfunction due to manufacturing defects.
• Repairs & Replacements: The product can be repaired or replaced free of charge.
• Labor Costs: These are often included in the warranty, covering the labor for repair.

4. Exclusions from Warranty

• Accidental Damage: Damage caused by mishandling, drops, or spills is usually not covered.
• Wear and Tear: Parts that naturally degrade over time, like batteries or screens, may not be covered.
• Improper Use: Misuse, unauthorized repairs, or modifications often void the warranty.
• Cosmetic Damage: Scratches, dents, or other surface damage typically isn’t covered unless it affects functionality.

5. Warranty Period

• Typically ranges from 1 to 3 years but may vary by product or manufacturer.
• The period begins from the date of purchase or receipt.

6. How to Claim Warranty

• Proof of Purchase: Required to prove the product is still under warranty.
• Contact Manufacturer/Retailer: Most companies provide customer service or an online portal for warranty claims.
• Repair or Replacement: The company will either repair or replace the defective product.

7. Transferable Warranties

• Some warranties are transferable if the product changes ownership, while others are non-transferable and only apply to the original buyer.

8. Importance of Registering Products

• Registering the product with the manufacturer, either online or via mail, helps ensure the warranty is valid and allows for better tracking of warranty claims.

9. Extended Warranty vs. Insurance

• Extended Warranty: Extends the manufacturer's coverage for a set period.
• Insurance: Covers broader risks, including accidental damage, loss, or theft, often for a higher cost.
