3. This warranty covers all the costs of replacing or repairing faulty components**, or faulty products, during the stated NWS warranty period. 

4. All replacement parts, labour, travel*, & freight* are provided for the period of the warranty at no cost to the Warranty Holder. Travel & freight costs are not included in some specific warranties and this is stated on the warranty.

8. There is a seven day ‘no fault’ period from the sales invoice or receipt date, or installation date or when you first use your product (or the specific component, whichever is the latter. This is to help ensure your Reseller or Manufacturer uses quality components, assemblies your product with care,
and carries out appropriate quality control. ‘Back-dated’ warranties have a longer 30 day ‘no fault’ period. Your Reseller or Manufacturer is responsible for any warranty service during this ‘no fault’ period.

9. Any NWS warranty service must be authorised by NWS prior to any service being carried out. NWS has no liability or responsibility for any service work carried out without such authorisation.

10. To ensure NWS know what product is under warranty, if this is a NWS ‘sticker’ type warranty, a valid NWS Warranty sticker must be adhered to the product under warranty. If this is a NWS sticker-less ‘instant’ warranty, your NWS Certificate (or NWS warranty database) must have the same Product
ID Number, eg Serial Number, that is on the warrantied product. 

11. This warranty covers all inherent components** of the product. It does not cover any separate removable devices, incl game devices, or separate peripheral or external devices, stands, or cables.

15. This warranty does not cover any media or consumables.

16. Faults caused by loose cards & cables caused by usage, the environment, or equipment movement, are not faulty components or warranty faults. 

17. This warranty covers all components** at the time of original sale to you, but does not cover additional components fitted after the original purchase, except replacement parts supplied under warranty.

18. If this product has a keyboard, mouse, remote, or power adaptor included at time of purchase, those items are covered by this warranty.

20. This warranty does NOT cover components damaged by power spikes & surges (although your household insurance may). Use a good quality surge protector or a UPS to help avoid such damage and problems. NOTE: Power boards & household safety switches are not surge protectors, and, surge protectors & UPS will not always prevent surge & spike damage.

whatever reason, carry out the warranty service, or ship the faulty product or part, in what NWS deem to be a reasonable & cost-effective manner, NWS may void the warranty, and refund the monies received in lieu of service.

36. This warranty, and the provision of parts & service by NWS, is based on major components having a Manufacturer’s warranty of at least 12 months.

37. This NWS warranty excludes faults caused by Manufacturer's systemic design, assembly, or manufacture, faults. These faults are covered by the Manufacturer or Reseller. If a systemic fault becomes apparent, NWS may simply elect to refund the monies paid (to NWS) for any affected warranties. Systemic faults are defined as faults that affect many or most of a particular model component, much higher than other models or brands of that component.

38. This warranty is for specific product type up to a specific RRP. These details are listed on the front of this Certificate). If the equipment purportedly covered is not what is specified on this Certificate, then this NWS warranty is void, and any service provided will be chargeable, and NWS may refund the monies received in lieu of service, or offer a warranty upgrade.

41. Where the cause of a fault is such that the Manufacturer has voided, or would void, their warranty, the NWS warranty is likewise deemed voided, and the Warranty Holder will be charged for any service.
