  1. Items found defective within the initial period of warranty based on the table above are allowed for Advance Warranty Replacement (AWR) depending on the availability of the replacement products and subject to the terms of Section II and Section III-5 below. AWR allows customers to receive a brand new replacement product after sending the defective item back to PC Express. After this initial week or month of advance replacement period from the start of the warranty, the remaining standard warranty period continues.

    • To avail of AWR, customers must first return their defective item to a PC Express store/service center within these initial 1 week or 1 month advance warranty replacement period based on the table above.

    • The returned defective item will be inspected and tested by a PC Express Technician to confirm the fault/defect. Once the technician verifies that the item is applicable for AWR, the customer will receive a brand new replacement product.

    • The product must be returned in its original packaging with all accessories and in pristine condition without physical damage.

    • Additional terms around PC Express' warranty claims process will apply when availing AWR.

  2. Extended warranties advertised or offered by the manufacturer of the product have their own warranty terms and conditions which require the customer to register the product on the manufacturer’s website. For more information, please visit the manufacturer’s support page.

II. Warranty does not cover the following:

  1. All physical damages including but not limited to electrical overstress (EOS) or “over-clocking”, bent pins, melted wires, circuit board cut traces, blown metal links, corrosion, due to accumulated dirt/moisture or insect/rodent urine, improper assembly, poor care, scratches, damages during transport, water damage, or damages caused by natural disasters.

  2. Products with defaced or altered serial numbers and warranty stickers or any alteration, modification, or repairs made by a 3rd party.

  3. Smartphone, desktop, and laptop products whose software has been modified, rooted, or tampered with or whose recovery partitions have been deleted.

  4. Loss of data (backup files often) or transport costs

  5. Free or promotional items.

  6. Use of non-authorized inks, or continuous ink conversions on printers

  7. LCD monitors with less than 6 dead pixels (bright/dark) are not eligible for warranty claims unless the product offers a Zero Bright Dot (ZBD) warranty

  8. LCD monitors and laptops whose defect is initially diagnosed as black-out, no power, or no display output are not eligible for Advance Warranty Replacement (AWR) claim.

III. Warranty Claims and Procedures

To process a warranty claim, please strictly adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Diagnosis: Present the defective item along with the Sales Invoice to a PC Express technician for diagnosis. A Job Order (JO) Form will be issued for all defective items.

  2. Claiming Items: Both the Sales Invoice and the corresponding Job Order Form must be presented to claim your warranty.

  3. Lost Documentation: The Job Order Form is strictly required. If the JO is lost, you must present a notarized Affidavit of Loss and two (2) valid IDs for verification purposes.

  4. Interbranch Claims: Interbranch warranty claims are not permitted without a valid Sales Invoice.

  5. Advance Warranty Replacement (AWR): For AWR claims, the product must be returned in its original packaging with all components and accessories intact.

  6. Turnaround Time: Warranty processing typically has a standard turnaround time of thirty (30) days.

IV. Warranty Process


  1. Items covered by the warranty will be sent to the supplier or manufacturer for repair or replacement. Defective items must be returned in their original packaging with all included accessories.

  2. If a direct replacement for a defective item is unavailable, it may be eligible for an upgrade. In such cases, the customer shall pay the price difference between the original and the upgraded model. The warranty period for the replacement or upgraded item will be based on the original purchase date of the defective unit.

  3. Customers will be notified once the replacement item is available (typically within 60 days). Upon notification, a 60-day grace period is provided to claim the item.

    o When claiming an upgrade, all original boxes, accessories, and drivers from the defective item must be surrendered.

    o A storage fee of ₱50.00 per day will be charged starting on the 61st day.

    o Items remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial notification will be forfeited in favor of PC Express.
