Warranty
After you have received an RMA for your unit, please follow the below instructions for packaging. PCs sent to us that do not follow the below instructions will either be refused or you will be responsible for the cost of the repair.
This process will be easiest if you kept your original packaging
Packaging Requirements:
- Must be doubleboxed
- The outer box must be 200lb burst strength (to meet UPS insurance requirements)
- If your PC has a dedicated GPU, it must have packing materials to hold the GPU in place, we recommend reusing the foam pack that was shipped with
If you do not feel you can properly package your PC, we recommend allowing a UPS store to package or a 3rd party shipping/packaging company local to you if one is available.

ViprTech warrants to the original purchaser that any hardware part of the computer system, excluding accessories (display monitor, keyboard, mouse, software, operating system, documentation and similar items) will be free of defects in workmanship and materials for the first 30 days after the date of delivery to Customer. During this period, ViprTech will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, the defective computer system, free of charge for shipping (within the contiguous United States), labor, and parts. Parts may not be the same but will be equivalent parts.

The above constitutes purchaser’s exclusive remedies for breach of warranty.

If such fees are not paid within 15 days after notification, the product shall be salvaged or disposed without any duty to account to Customer.
C. COSMETIC DAMAGES
ViprTech takes as much precaution as possible to ensure that all our systems leave our facility without any scratches or dents. To ensure we maintain this goal, a through external inspection is done by a senior quality inspector prior to the computer being placed into the packaging box. Any cosmetic damages that are larger than the size of a U.S. dime will be taken care of by ViprTech if reported within the first 7 days of original delivery.
D. CLAIMS & CHARGEBACKS
Any customer who files fraudulent or unnecessary claims and/or chargebacks, or leaves false or misleading reviews may forfeit this warranty at our discretion.
E. WARRANTY LENGTH
Prebuilt systems include a 1-year warranty while custom built systems only include a 30-day warranty.
