QNAP offers industry leading free 2 to 5 year limited warranty service on our products. If the standard warranty period is not long enough, QNAP offers optional purchase extended warranty service (QEWS) coverage that will provide warranty for 1, 2, or 3* additional years. For IT professionals that require more, QNAP Advanced Replacement Service (QARS) is an optional purchase service to expedite hardware replacement.
QNAP warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship. Under normal use and service, every hardware portion of the products will be free from physical defects in material and workmanship during the warranty period, or the product will be repaired or replaced as determined solely by QNAP. QNAP provides a limited warranty for its products only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from QNAP or its authorized distributor or retailer. QNAP's products are diskless devices, and QNAP makes no warranty of the hard disk installed, or warranty on compatibility of all hard disks and peripheral devices. QNAP will not be liable in any way for the loss of data stored on QNAP products and any damage caused by this.
The following standard warranty rules apply to QNAP products:
* The global warranty coverage allows users who need warranty services to contact their nearest QNAP retailers or shops for support, not limited to where their NAS was purchased.
Extra warranty period might be provided by QNAP's worldwide dealers/distributors. Please contact your dealer/distributor for the local warranty period. Extended warranty may be offered with extra payment in some countries.
If a product does not operate as warranted above during the applicable warranty period, QNAP shall, at its option and expense (except for shipping cost), repair the defective product or part, deliver to the customer an equivalent product or part to replace the defective item. All products that are replaced will become the property of QNAP. Replacement products may be new or reconditioned.
