What Does This Warranty Cover?

SMTTR's 3-Year Extended Warranty applies to all hardware products we sell — GPUs, workstation components, accelerators, networking hardware, and complete assembled systems — protecting you against manufacturing defects and hardware failures from the day your order is delivered.

📦
30-Day DOA Protection

Dead-on-Arrival Coverage

If your product arrives defective or non-functional, contact us within 30 days of delivery. SMTTR will cover return shipping costs (domestic ground) and expedite a replacement or full repair at no additional charge. Please retain all original packaging materials until you have confirmed your product is operating correctly.

🔩

Manufacturing Defects

Any defect originating from the manufacturing or assembly process — including faulty components, PCB defects, soldering failures, and production errors — is fully covered for the entire 3-year warranty period.

💻

Hardware Component Failures

Failures of processors, memory modules, power delivery systems, connectivity ports, and other on-board hardware components occurring under normal operating conditions are covered without exception.

🧩

Included Accessories

All accessories shipped as part of the original product package — such as power adapters, cables, mounting brackets, and dongles — are covered under the same warranty terms as the primary product.

🛠️

Repair or Replacement

SMTTR and the manufacturer will repair your defective product or, if repair is not feasible, replace it with a new or functionally equivalent refurbished unit. Replacement parts may be new or reconditioned.

📅

3-Year Duration

Warranty coverage begins on the date of purchase and runs for three (3) full years. Retain your proof of purchase — it is required to validate and process any warranty claim throughout the coverage period.

Authorized Purchases Only

This warranty applies exclusively to products purchased directly through SMTTR or other authorized resellers. Products obtained through unauthorized channels or secondary markets are not eligible for warranty coverage.

Shipping & Return Costs

Who covers shipping during the warranty process depends on the type of claim and the circumstances of the return. Here is a clear breakdown so there are no surprises.

✓ SMTTR Covers

DOA Returns — First 30 Days

We cover domestic ground shipping in both directions if your product arrives dead-on-arrival or is confirmed defective within the first 30 days of delivery.

✓ Outbound Covered

Standard Warranty Repair

For approved in-warranty claims after the 30-day DOA window, SMTTR covers the outbound shipping cost of the repaired or replacement unit back to you.

Customer Responsible

No Trouble Found (NTF)

If a returned product is tested and no defect is found, the customer bears all shipping costs in both directions. We recommend troubleshooting with our support team before initiating a return.

Customer Responsible

International Shipping

Customers outside the United States are responsible for all shipping costs, import duties, customs fees, and applicable taxes associated with warranty service returns and replacements.

How to File a Warranty Claim

Our warranty process is designed to be straightforward. Follow these five steps to get your product repaired or replaced with minimal disruption to your workflow.

1

Identify the Problem

Confirm that the issue is a hardware defect or failure — not a software, driver, or configuration problem. Verify that your product is within the 3-year warranty period from the original date of purchase.

2

Gather Your RMA Information

Prepare the following details before contacting us to ensure a fast and smooth claim:

Required for all warranty claims

  • SMTTR order number
  • Product serial number and model name
  • Date of purchase / proof of purchase
  • Clear description of the defect or failure
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Photos or video of the defect (if applicable)
3

Contact SMTTR Support

Submit your claim through our contact page with all gathered information. Our support team will review your case and respond within one business day with next steps and, if applicable, RMA instructions.

4

Troubleshoot & Verify

Our engineering team will work with you to diagnose the issue remotely. This step confirms whether the problem falls under warranty coverage and determines the most appropriate resolution — repair, replacement, or further investigation.

5

Receive Your Repair or Replacement

Once your claim is approved, we will arrange for your product to be repaired or replaced. You will receive shipping instructions, a prepaid return label where applicable, and tracking information for your replacement unit.

What Is Not Covered?

This warranty covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures under normal use. The following conditions and circumstances fall outside the scope of coverage and will not be eligible for warranty service.

⚠️

Abuse & Misuse

Damage from improper handling, operation beyond rated specifications, physical impact, or any form of deliberate or accidental misuse by the user.

🌊

Acts of God

Damage resulting from flood, fire, earthquake, lightning strike, power surge, or any other natural event outside the control of SMTTR or the manufacturer.

🔌

Negligence

Damage caused by improper installation, use of an inadequate or unstable power supply, unauthorised overclocking, or failure to maintain adequate cooling.

🔧

Unauthorized Service or Modification

Any attempt to repair, modify, or disassemble the product by a party not authorized by SMTTR or the manufacturer will immediately void warranty coverage.

💾

Software & Driver Issues

Failures attributable to driver conflicts, operating system errors, firmware corruption, incompatible software, or user-initiated configuration changes are not covered.

📦

Shipment Damage

Damage occurring during transit that is not reported within 30 days of delivery. All shipping damage must be reported promptly and will be handled under the DOA policy.

🔄

Second-Hand & Transferred Products

Warranty coverage is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. Products resold, gifted, or otherwise transferred to a third party are not eligible.

🏷️

Altered or Missing Serial Numbers

Products on which the serial number label has been removed, defaced, tampered with, or altered in any way are ineligible for warranty service.

⏱️

Normal Wear & Tear

Expected degradation over time through regular use — including cosmetic surface wear, gradual fan noise increase, thermal compound aging, and connector wear — is not covered.

💽

Data Loss

SMTTR is not liable for any loss of data, files, or configurations that occurs as a result of hardware failure or during the course of warranty service. Always back up your data.
