REPAIR AND TECH SUPPORT
Tech Support Policy
E2D offers a technical warranty on all laptops for two months from the date of distribution, unless otherwise noted. This is a FIRM policy. This warranty period begins on the date the client receives his/her laptop and ends on the same date two months later. If a computer is out of warranty, we will not accept it from the client nor will any repair be attempted. Clients are eligible to apply for another computer at the current participation rate.
E2D does not offer a warranty on any Apple products. These products come as-is. Before selling any Apple products we put them through extensive Quality Control to ensure working condition.
