1.5.      Service that Requires Labor and/or Parts not Specified on the Work Authorization. If service requires labor and/or parts not specified on the Work Authorization, AM may seek your approval of a revised estimate.

You represent that your product does not contain illegal files or data.

1.10.2  Abandoned Property. If you have not claimed your product and paid all charges due within ninety (90) days after being notified by AM that your product has been serviced, AM will consider your product abandoned and may dispose of your product in accordance with applicable law.

1.10.4  Disclosure of Unauthorized Modifications.  During the service ordering process, you must notify AM of any unauthorized modifications, or any repairs or replacements not performed by AM that have been made to your product.  AM will not be responsible for any damage to the product that occurs during the repair process that is a result of any unauthorized modifications or repairs or replacements not performed by AM. If damage results, AM will seek your authorization for any additional costs for completing service. If you decline authorization, AM may return your product unrepaired in the damaged condition without any responsibility.

  1. Orders and Payment

2.1      Payment. Terms of payment are within AM’s sole discretion, and unless otherwise agreed to by AM, payment details must be received prior to AM’s acceptance of an order.

All products not paid for within ninety (90) days will be recycled to recoup the costs of parts and labor.

2.2       Payment Methods. AM allows you to make purchases or place orders (that require security for the return of the replaced part or product) using credit card, debit card or check card, or some other prearranged payment method unless AM has agreed to some other credit terms. When you provide AM with your card information, AM will obtain a pre-approval from the card company for the amount of the order, which may result in a corresponding block on your available credit while the pre-approval remains in place. AM will not bill your credit card or process a transaction under your debit or check card until your order is processed. AM may not be able to accept credit, debit, or check cards associated with a billing address outside of the country site. Debit cards and check cards may have daily spending limits that could delay the processing of your order substantially. AM requires the credit, debit, or check card security code for your card to protect against the unauthorized use of your credit card by other persons. The security code is an individual three or four digit number specific to your card that may be printed on the face of your card above the embossed account, or on the back of your card, on the signature panel.

2.3       Prices. AM endeavors to offer you competitive prices on current AM products and services. Your total order price will include the price of the product or service on the day of order processing. AM reserves the right to change prices for products or services displayed at any time and particularly to correct pricing errors that appear.

2.4       Refunds. Except as described in the Warranty and Limitation of Liability section below, AM does not provide refunds for service orders.

AM warrants for a period of one year or three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the date of service (1) that service will be performed in a competent and workmanlike manner and (2) that all parts used to service your product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, unless otherwise specified by AM.  However, this warranty will be limited for a period of only ninety (90) days from the date of service if the service requires AM to address the (i) micro-solder, or (ii) the logic board. The foregoing warranty is an express limited warranty and in the event of breach, AM will either (i) re-perform the service, (ii) repair or replace the part, or (iii) refund the cost of the service provided. In order to claim under the warranty you must return your product to the location where service was performed, at your expense. AM warrants for period of (90) days warranty from the date of service services in relation to (i) micro-solder services, or (ii) logic board. However, AM DOES NOT warrant any service on a product that is damaged as the result of a liquid (“liquid damage”).

THIS WARRANTY AND ASSOCIATED REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. AM SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IF AM CANNOT LAWFULLY DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THEN ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY. SOME STATES (COUNTRIES AND PROVINCES) DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY (OR CONDITION) MAY LAST, SO THE LIMITATION DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

THE REMEDIES SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR ANY BREACH BY AM UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. SOME STATES (COUNTRIES AND PROVINCES) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

3.4       Some states, provinces and jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or exclusions or limitations on the duration of implied warranties or conditions, so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

NOTICES TO CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS ONLY

  1. An estimate for repairs, as required (section 9844 of the California Business and Professions Code), shall be given to the customer by the service dealer in writing. The service dealer may not charge for work done or parts supplied in excess of the estimate without the prior consent of the customer. Where provided in writing the service dealer may charge a reasonable fee for services provided in determining the nature of the malfunction in preparation of a written estimate for repair. For information, contact the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Department of Consumer Affairs, Sacramento, CA 95814, U.S.

 

  1. A buyer of this product in California has the right to have this product serviced and repaired during the warranty period. The warranty period will be extended for the number of whole days that the product has been out of the buyer’s hands for warranty repairs. If a defect exists during the warranty period, the warranty will not expire until the defect has been fixed. The warranty period also will be extended if the warranty repairs have not been performed due to delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the buyer, or if the warranty repairs did not remedy the defect and the buyer notifies the manufacturer or seller of the failure of the repairs within 60 days after they were completed. If, after a reasonable number of attempts, the defect has not been fixed, the buyer may return this product for a replacement or a refund subject, in either case, to deduction of a reasonable charge for usage. The time extension does not affect the protection or remedies the buyer has under other laws.

 

  1. Sales Tax. In addition to the price of your purchase, AM will charge you sales tax on applicable transactions based on your shipping address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time your order is billed. If the sales tax rate for the state to which your order is being shipped changes before the product is shipped, the rate in effect at the time your order is invoiced will apply. The proof of purchase that AM sends to you will include any applicable sales tax.
