LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

Please read this warranty card carefully. It is a “ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY” on parts and labor (90 days for commercial use) and is only valid when purchased from an Authorized Reseller, only on the new and non-refurbished product, and available to customers in the Continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. See below for the SCEPTRE Extended Service warranty.
SCEPTRE’s Responsibility
SCEPTRE units purchased from an authorized SCEPTRE US Reseller in the United States and that are used in the fifty (50) United States or Puerto Rico and Canada are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of their original retail purchase (or a period of ninety (90) days for commercial use). If the unit fails to conform to this warranty, we will service the units using new or refurbished parts. In the event that the part required for replacement is no longer in production and/or is obsolete, SCEPTRE will repair or replace the unit with similar or like parts of equal value. If a similar or like part is not available, a charge may be incurred to the owner for any upgraded parts substituted.
Service Labor
During a period of one (1) year from the effective warranty date (or a period of ninety (90) days for commercial use), SCEPTRE will provide, when needed, service labor to repair a manufacturing defect at its designated Service Center. To obtain warranty service in the United States, you must first call our Customer Support at 800-788-2878. The determination of service will be made by SCEPTRE Customer Support. PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR UNIT TO SCEPTRE WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.

Any number of dead or bad pixels under the limit is considered to be within the normal performance specification of the LCD and is not considered defective.
