Store and Warranty Policy

Standard 1-year parts warranty on new parts

Computer Heaven, Inc. will warranty most new parts for 1 year from the date of purchase. If, during the 1-year warranty period, a part needs to be repaired or replaced, Computer Heaven, Inc., at its sole discretion, will either replace or repair the part. If it is within 30 days of your purchase date, we will replace the item with an identical or equivalent item in stock assuming such an item is available. If the item is not available, or if it is over 30 days from your purchase date, we will ship the defective part to either our supplier or the manufacturer for repair or replacement.

It can take anywhere from 1 – 4 weeks for part replacements, depending on the supplier/manufacturer of an item. When an item is replaced under warranty, the repaired/replaced item will have whatever warranty was left over on the item from the original purchase date only.

Warranty Policy for new custom built computer systems

Computer Heaven, Inc. provides a 1 year parts warranty (see “Standard 1 year parts warranty on new parts” section above) and a lifetime labor warranty (see lifetime labor warranty below) on all new custom built Computer Heaven, Inc. branded computer systems.

Lifetime Labor Warranty

This warranty applies only to new, custom-built Computer Heaven, Inc. branded computer systems. If at any time a part needs to be replaced or repaired, Computer Heaven, Inc. will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace that part and not charge you for the labor if Computer Heaven, Inc. originally installed the part in the system.

This labor warranty only covers items bought from and installed by Computer Heaven, Inc. into a Computer Heaven, Inc. branded custom-built computer system. On a new custom-built computer system this would include all items installed when the system was originally built or any items that you purchased from Computer Heaven, Inc. AND that you paid Computer Heaven, Inc. a labor charge to install into the system. This warranty does not cover the labor on items added to the system by anyone other than Computer Heaven, Inc.

Software problems are not covered under warranty. Additionally, this labor warranty does not include items that were not part of a custom-built computer built by Computer Heaven Inc. External items are not included in the lifetime labor warranty. These excluded external items include but are not limited to monitors, printers, scanners and any other external components.

Why Doesn’t Your New Custom Computer System Labor Warranty Cover Software Problems?

Viruses – When using the Internet, or if you use CDs, flash drives, or external drives, you may contract a virus on your computer. A Virus is not a defect in the materials or workmanship of the computer and therefore is not covered under this warranty.  Computer Heaven does offer an optional virus warranty. With this optional warranty, we guarantee you will never get a virus ever again and we will even cover all the costs to restore your computer if you were to get a virus! Give us a call or stop by today for more information.

Corruption – Data corruption of software can occur from power surges, improper computer shutdown, bugs in software, viruses, malware or even during installation of a new program. Again, these issues are not the result of a defect in the computer that can be corrected by replacing any of the hardware components of the system and for this reason, we cannot warranty such problems.

Bugs – Many software programs, even those from large companies like Microsoft have bugs. Since we do not have access to the software’s source code we cannot correct bugs in software. Only future updates where the manufacturer fixes the bugs can correct these types of problems.

Surge Protection

Many people are unaware that surge protectors have a finite lifespan. At some point, your surge protector will stop protecting your gear from power surges and become an ordinary power strip. It’s difficult to tell exactly when a surge protector loses those protective powers and just functions as a power strip. But if you’re still using an old surge protector you purchased ten years ago, it’s probably long past time to replace it.

Some surge protectors will have a “protection” light letting you know they are working. Others simply have a power light that will start blinking when the surge protection features have failed. Still other surge protectors give no indication at all.

Most new surge protectors come with an insurance policy printed prominently on the packaging offering $10,000 and more in protection against any damage caused to your equipment by a power surge. Make sure your surge protector has this coverage and save the documentation that came with the surge protector so you can file a claim if you need to.

Your computer’s warranty does not cover damage by acts of nature, power surges, or any other power related problems. Please use a good quality surge protector.
