Consumer Guarantees

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality, and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

When an additional warranty is purchased, the warranty period may be extended by one year, resulting in up to FOUR (4) YEARS for Computers and up to THREE (3) YEARS for Laptops.

AFTERSHOCK PC warrants the original purchaser that any part of the hardware system, excluding software, documentation and similar terms will be free of defects of both workmanship and materials for the warranty period included with the purchase.

AFTERSHOCK PC warrants the original purchaser that any part of the Product, excluding software, documentation and other peripherals, will be free of defects of both workmanship and materials for the warranty period included with the purchase. The date of warranty coverage starts from the date of original retail purchase.

During the product's warranty period, AFTERSHOCK PC will repair or replace defective hardware for defects specified and found in the Product. This will be done without any labour charge (free of charge) and the cost of parts will also be provided free of charge during the warranty period. Parts may not be the same but will be equivalent or slightly better.

AFTERSHOCK PC shall, under no circumstances, be liable to provide warranty service for products that have been damaged by accident, abuse, misuse or misapplication, for example, unauthorised overclocking or undervolting. This also applies if the Aftershock PC service tag has been removed or defaced or if the product has been modified without written agreement from AFTERSHOCK PC. Any issues caused by voltage manipulation will not be covered under the Aftershock PC warranty. Issues arising from the product not being cleaned or maintained properly are not covered under the Aftershock PC warranty, this includes cleaning of radiators and fans to allow adequate airflow.

Any replacement parts will be warranted to be free of defects of workmanship and material for 3 months from the time of replacement, or for the remainder of the warranty period of the AFTERSHOCK Product it is replacing (whichever is longer).

b) Dead Pixel Policy

LCD Panels are made of millions of microelectronic pixels, if one pixel no longer functions normally, it will become a bright or dark dot. AFTERSHOCK conforms to the industry premium standard acceptable level of between 2 to 4 defective bright/dark pixels. In order to deliver the ultimate visual experience to our customers, if your panel is less than or equal to the above number of dots, then, it is considered acceptable.

If the AFTERSHOCK team is contacted through phone or email, AFTERSHOCK PC will provide guidance to diagnose or solve the problem.  Where possible we try to remotely fix the problem.

If the problem cannot be resolved over the phone or by email we will require our technicians to physically work on the machine.  If you chose a Carry In Warranty the User will be responsible to either carry in the Product to our Service Centre or cover the delivery cost for getting it to and back from our Service Centre location. If you chose Pickup & Return Warranty, AFTERSHOCK PC will cover the delivery cost for shipping it to our Service Centre and back to the User within Australia only, at no cost to the User.

The machine must be returned in its original packaging, including foam inside and around the PC as per how it was received originally by the customer. If the original packaging is not used, AFTERSHOCK PC will not be liable for damage to the PC during transit back to our service centre and any repairs for transit damage will be at the customer's expense.
