General Terms

This HyperX Limited Warranty gives you, the original end-user customer, express limited warranty rights. To the extent that you have a separate written agreement with HyperX, you may also have other legal rights that this HyperX Limited Warranty does not exclude, limit, or suspend. Refer to “Country-Specific Terms,” if applicable, at the end of this warranty page for more information regarding your rights.

This HyperX Limited Warranty applies only to HyperX-branded hardware products sold by or leased from HyperX, its worldwide subsidiaries (collectively referred to in this HyperX Limited Warranty as “HX”), affiliates, authorized resellers, authorized distributors, or country distributors. However, non-HX manufacturers, suppliers or publishers may provide their own warranties directly to you. Review the applicable warranty statements for that product to determine your rights and obligations.

To the extent permitted by local law, HyperX guarantees that it will replace or refund, at HyperX's option, a HyperX Product that manifests a defect in materials or workmanship during the Limited Warranty Period, if you, the original end-user customer, provides HyperX with notice of a defect in your HyperX Product during the Limited Warranty Period. HyperX's obligation under this HyperX Limited Warranty, at its option, to replace, or provide a refund for a HyperX Product that manifests a defect in materials or workmanship ceases if the notice of defect is not received prior to the expiration of the applicable Limited Warranty Period.

The Limited Warranty Period starts on the date of purchase. Your dated sales or delivery receipt, showing the date of purchase or lease of the HyperX Product, is your proof of purchase, unless HyperX or your authorized reseller informs you otherwise in writing. You may be required to provide proof of purchase as a condition of receiving warranty service. For current warranty information, contact HyperX or go to https://hyperx.com/pages/limited-warranty-statement. Generally, for HyperX products, the warranty coverage ends at the 6-month, 1 year or 2 years from date of purchase, depending on the product.

Exclusions and Limitations

Some countries or specific states in America may not allow the following exclusions or limitations, so these exclusions and limitations may be limited in their application to you.

HYPERX MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OR CONDITION WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HYPERX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS NOT STATED IN THIS HYPERX LIMITED WARRANTY. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LOCAL LAW OF JURISDICTIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, HYPERX DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS OCCURRING IN THE UNITED STATES, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE. SOME STATES OR COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION LASTS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF PARTICULAR TYPES OF DAMAGE, INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR CONSUMER PRODUCTS. IN SUCH STATES OR COUNTRIES, SOME EXCLUSIONS, DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS OF THIS HYPERX LIMITED WARRANTY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

FOR CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE EUROPEAN UNION, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND, THE LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY BUT ARE IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS HYPERX PRODUCT TO YOU. IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE LOCAL LAWS AND THE TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN, THE LOCAL LAWS WILL APPLY.

This HyperX Limited Warranty is applicable in all countries and may be enforced in any country or region where HyperX or its authorized service providers offer warranty service for the same product model number subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this HyperX Limited Warranty. This HyperX Limited Warranty is subject to all applicable national export and import laws and regulations. Under this HyperX Limited Warranty, HyperX Products purchased in one country or region may be transferred to another country or region where HyperX or its authorized service providers offer warranty service for the same product model numbers. Warranty terms, service availability, and service response times may vary from country or region to country or region. Standard warranty service response time is subject to change due to local inventory availability. If inventories are unavailable, your HyperX authorized service provider can provide you with details. HyperX will not alter form, fit, or function of a HyperX Product to make it operate in a country for which it was never intended to function. HyperX is not responsible for any tariffs or duties that may be incurred in transferring the products. Transfer of the products may be covered by, and is subject to, all applicable export and import laws, regulations, and controls issued by various governments.

In countries or regions where applicable law determines that warranty services for imported products are to be provided by the local importer or in which applicable law does not mandatorily determine that warranty services for imported products are to be provided by the manufacturer, all warranty services for HyperX products in these countries or regions will be provided solely by the importer and not by HyperX, except where the local importer has been specifically authorized by HyperX or its local affiliate to import the products and refer the warranty services to HyperX.

You are entitled to product warranty service according to the terms and conditions of this document if a replacement for your HyperX Hardware Product is required due to the manifestation of a defect in materials or workmanship within the Limited Warranty Period. Unless otherwise stated, and to the extent permitted by local law, HyperX Products are manufactured using new and/or used materials, and any used materials are functionally equivalent to new in performance and reliability. All component parts or hardware products removed under this HyperX Limited Warranty become the property of HyperX unless otherwise stipulated by applicable local law.

Disputes arising out of this HyperX Limited Warranty or relating to your purchase of the HyperX Products subject to this HyperX Limited Warranty—whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, or any other legal theory—are governed by the law of the country and state, province, or territory in which you currently reside, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

HYPERX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE HYPERX PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. HYPERX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE THAT OCCURS AS A RESULT OF YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS INTENDED FOR THE HYPERX PRODUCT.

This HyperX Limited Warranty does not apply to expendable or consumable parts, except for certain rechargeable batteries as specified below and does not extend to any HyperX Product from which the serial number has been removed or that has been damaged or rendered defective:

  • as a result of accident, misuse, liquid spills, abuse, contamination, improper or inadequate maintenance or calibration, or other external causes;
  • by operation outside the usage parameters stated in the HyperX approved user documentation that shipped with the HyperX Product;
  • by software, interfacing, parts or supplies not supplied by HyperX; and/or
  • by improper site preparation, maintenance or environmental conditions that do not conform to HyperX’s site specifications.

Any HyperX Product found to be modified after delivery from HyperX, or a HyperX authorized reseller, will be excluded from the terms of this Limited Warranty other than damaged or defective components where the damage or defect is found to be unrelated to the modifications.

IN THE EVENT THAT HYPERX AT ITS OPTION PROVIDES YOU A REFUND, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF HYPERX UNDER THIS HYPERX LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE HYPERX PRODUCT.

Monitors

All Monitor models are not suitable for applications that exhibit static, stationary, or fixed images. Static images may cause image retention damage that may appear as stains or watermarks on the screen. This HyperX Limited Warranty does not cover monitors that are in use for applications that exhibit static, stationary, or fixed images for long periods or for 24-hours per day that result in image retention damage. To avoid image retention damage, turn off the monitor when it is not in use or use a power management setting, if supported by your system, to turn off the display when the system is idle.

Please see HyperX Pixel Policy Overview below.

HyperX Pixel Policy Overview

What is a pixel?

Short for picture element, a pixel is a single point in a graphic image. Monitors display pictures by dividing the display screen into thousands (or millions) of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are placed close together so that they appear connected.

A full pixel is a combination of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.

What are pixel and sub-pixel defects?

A full pixel defect is a bright white dot or very noticeable black dot on the display. No full pixel defects are allowed per HyperX monitor specification.

A sub-pixel defect is also referred to as a dot defect.

Bright dot sub-pixel defects are permanently "on", displaying a colored red, green, or blue spot on the display at all times.

Dark dot sub-pixel defects are permanently "off", displaying a black dot on the display at all times.

A different type of defect caused by microscopic contaminants within the manufacturing process can also be found. Contamination results in a dark "stain" covering one or several sub-pixels. They are not pixel or sub-pixel defects per say. No contamination is allowed under HyperX policy.

Understanding HyperX Pixel Policy

The following policies apply during the HyperX limited two-year warranty period:

Bright sub-pixel defects

2 maximum

Dark sub-pixel defects

5 maximum

Total combined bright and dark sub-pixel defects

5 maximum

Full Pixel Defects pixel defects

0 allowed

Customer Responsibilities

In order to avoid the risk of charges for issues not covered by your HyperX Limited Warranty (issues that are not due to defects in materials or workmanship on HyperX Products), you will be asked to assist HyperX, or the HyperX authorized service provider as follows:

  • Provide true, accurate, and complete information when filing a warranty claim.
  • Provide an environment that meets HyperX requirements, including protecting products from corrosion, contamination, and spills. For example, to meet HyperX corrosion requirements, the environment must not cause more than 300 angstroms of corrosion per month on silver and copper.*
  • Verify configurations, load most recent firmware, install software patches, and run HyperX utilities.
  • Implement temporary procedures or workarounds provided by HyperX while HyperX works on permanent solutions.
  • Cooperate with HyperX in attempting to resolve the problem using online chat, email, or telephone. This may involve performing routine diagnostic procedures, installing additional software updates or patches, removing third-party options, and/or substituting options.
  • Remove any external options or accessories that would be subject to loss during the replacement process.
  • Perform additional tasks as defined within each type of warranty service described below and any other actions that HyperX may reasonably request in order to best perform the warranty support.

* HyperX's requirements are based on ISA G1 (mild) requirements as described in ISA-71.04-1985 Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants. This ISA standard is available at http://www.isa.org. When products are used in ISA G1 (mild) environments, corrosion should not be a factor in equipment reliability.

Country-Specific Terms

Australia

Your rights as an Australian consumer are different to those stated in the document above. You should disregard any limitations or exclusions in the above document and refer to the information below:

■ When you buy goods from HyperX as a consumer, the 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 for 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.

■ This means that there is no defined warranty period for HyperX goods supplied to Australian consumers.

■ Instead, the goods should, for example, be fit for the purposes for which they are commonly supplied for such a period as a reasonable consumer fully acquainted with the state and condition of the goods would expect. This period may vary depending on the product.

■ You should contact HyperX if you are concerned that one of HyperX's products fails to satisfy any of the guarantees listed below. HyperX will discuss with you the specific nature and circumstances of that good and whether the particular fault/issue falls within the scope of the statutory guarantees.

Nothing in the XP Limited Warranty excludes, restricts, or modifies any condition, warranty, guarantee, right, or remedy you may have at law (including a consumer guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law), which cannot be lawfully excluded or limited.

The relevant guarantees are as follows:

■ Quality – Goods supplied by HyperX must be of acceptable quality. The test for acceptable quality is whether a reasonable consumer, fully aware of the state and condition of the goods, would find them:

  • safe, durable and free from defects;
  • acceptable in appearance and finish; and
  • fit for
