Warranty & RMA Service Policy

Warranty Policy Update:

Starting from July 1, 2025, our warranty policy has been updated. Eligibility for extended warranty may vary; please refer to the product list linked below.

Warranty Period

STANDARD WARRANTY:  

The warranty periods listed in the following chart are only applicable to the products shipped after July 1st, 2023.

Please be aware that certain product models, including GL310, C985, C875, GC510, GC550, AW310, AW313, TV tuner series, and models discontinue before January 1st., 2023, still retain their original warranty periods and are not covered by the warranty periods mentioned above.

Warranty Coverage & Exclusions: 

1. During the warranty period, natural failures are eligible for free repairs.
2. Products with removed, tampered, damaged, or altered serial number stickers are not covered.
3. Even within the warranty period, there may be cases where paid repairs are necessary based on the cause of the defect, like the damage caused by misuse, abuse, neglect, improper use of the physical or operating environment (such as exterior damage, exposure to extreme temperatures, high or low humidity, power overload, inadequatevent ilation or stacking, throwing, soaking, etc.), or modification.
4. Products purchased through dealers other than our designated official importers and parallel imports are not covered by our warranty.
5. Support services and warranty terms are only available within the country of purchase. Repair requests from overseas or for products purchased overseas are not covered by the warranty policy. Please contact the retailer in the country or region where you made your purchase.
6. To receive warranty service (free replacement), you must provide proof of purchase, such as a receipt, to the authorized dealer from which you purchased the product. We kindly ask that you keep records of your purchase invoices. For a secondhand product, please obtain the original purchase invoice to be the proof to validate if it is within warranty period.

RMA & DOA  

RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization)

Products found to be defective after 30 days of the original invoice date and still within the warranty period are eligible for RMA returns. Products outside of the warranty period can still be serviced at the customer’s expense.

DOA (Dead on Arrival)

Products are considered DOA if they exhibit a complete failure to power on, initialize, or operate as intended within 30 days of the original invoice date. 

Requesting RMA Service

If a potential warranty claim arises, customers should follow these steps:

1. Request information from your local distributor (AVerMedia Distributor List) or contact AVerMedia's Technical Support within the warranty period.
2. Provide proof of purchase (invoice, receipt) and the product's serial number.
3. Describe the issue in detail, including any troubleshooting steps taken.

Service Policy

For DOA: 

All DOA items will be replaced with new items, and both return and dispatch shipping expenses will be covered by AVerMedia. 

For RMA (In Warranty):

AVerMedia will provide a free-of-charge repair service. The shipping method and costs of returning RMA items to AVerMedia are the customer's responsibility. The shipping method and expenses of sending repaired items back to customers will be covered by AVerMedia.

1. Evaluate the provided information to determine whether the product falls under warranty coverage.
