Manufacturers Component Warranty

Once GreenBoxPC's custom built product warranty expires, the components may still be covered by respective component manufacturer's warranties.

This may include returning the system to GreenBoxPC's facility or customer sending the defective component directly to manufacturer. Due to the variety of manufacturer's warranty policies, GreenBoxPC cannot be held responsible or provide any guarantees about their warranties.
