Computer Defect Warranty

Note: This warranty is for CompuDirect-manufactured computers only. For all other items, please refer to that manufacturer's warranty.

This warranty does NOT cover any computer or computer-related item not manufactured by us in our Myrtle Beach, S.C. facility.

All CompuDirect-manufactured new computers come with a limited parts and labor warranty from 90 days to 1-year. See Store and your invoice for details of the warranty length. This covers all parts of the computer that have a manufacturing defect for the warranty period, including the labor to replace those parts. Certain restrictions and exclusions apply (see below). This is a carry-in warranty. A local on-site warranty is available for an additional annual fee of $149.99 for standalone systems. Servers, workstations, and other network items can be extended by requesting a quote. (Service is limited to a 20-mile distance from our store, with a small fee for additional mileage.)

During the hardware warranty period, we will be glad to provide, at no additional cost, limited phone support for general questions about using the computer, using preinstalled programs, and using additional and/or specific hardware.

CompuDirect warrants that computers manufactured by CompuDirect are free from defects in materials or workmanship under normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period commences on the date of purchase. A customer's dated sales receipt is proof of the date of purchase. This warranty extends only to the original owner and is not transferable.

Additionally, during the first 90 days, you will have one free re-install of your operating system or other minor repair at no charge.  We call this our "Oops" event.

For warranty service, customers may call CompuDirect at 843-293-2667 or send e-mail to  .

This limited warranty does not cover the following:

  • Any problems with software beyond the limited telephone support as outlined above.
  • Any problems with or caused by software that has been added (that did not come with the system).
  • Any problems with or caused by hardware that has been added (that did not come with the system).
  • Any files or data that have been deleted or lost by any means.
  • Any other equipment that comes with a manufactures warranty.
  • Any consumables.
  • The warranty does not include liability for data loss due to defective hardware.

Data backup is the responsibility of the user and YOU should ensure your data is backed up at all times.


Legal Interpretation:

These facilities will be within a reasonable proximity of the Equipment and shall be provided to the field engineer at no charge.

  • Service necessary to comply with requirements or regulations of any governmental body or agency arising after this Agreement, or if the serial numbers or other means of identification of the Equipment have been tampered with or removed.
