One (1) Year Upgrade Service Express Limited Warranty for Apple iMac

Express Limited Warranty (ELW)

OWC warrants to the purchaser that the upgrade service components are free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of up to one (1) year from the date of the upgrade. OWC, at its option, will repair or replace upgrade service component(s) at no cost that are found to be defective within the warranty period. OWC reserves the right to replace with similar components that are equal to or better than the original. Warranty period is the time remaining on the iMac factory warranty as of the date of upgrade, based on the manufacturer's serial number. (Ex. An iMac purchased on 1/1/2018 has factory warranty coverage until 12/31/2018. If this iMac participates in the iMac Upgrade Service on 3/31/2018, the customer will receive 9 months of coverage under the Express Limited Warranty.) Should the upgrade be performed on an iMac with less than 90 days of factory warranty remaining, the upgrade service components will be covered for 90 days. All OWC memory components come with OWC's lifetime limited warranty.

Disclaimers And Limitations

Customers are responsible for the cost of shipping the product(s) related to the warranty claim to OWC. Should OWC determine that a valid warranty claim exists on returned product(s), OWC will cover ground return shipment of the repaired or replaced product(s) to customers located within the 48 contiguous United States. Customers located outside of the 48 contiguous United States will be responsible for return shipping as well.

This ELW is NON-TRANSFERABLE and will only be honored for the original purchaser of the OWC Upgrade Service listed on the original OWC Invoice.

Manufacturer warranties, if any, on components are independent from this ELW coverage. OWC cannot advise you on other possible warranty coverage of the product or its components.
