TESmart Extended Warranty Policy

Register for Extended Original Manufacturer's Warranty

1. What is a Valid Proof of Purchase?

   • For any Limited Warranty claim, valid Proof of Purchase is required. A valid Proof of Purchase is defined as one of the following:
     • A dated sales receipt from an authorized TESmart Dealer or Reseller. The receipt must show the product description and price.
     • A dated official e-mail from an authorized online TESmart Dealer or Reseller confirming the purchase and shipment of the product. The confirmation e-mail must show the product description and price.
     • An order number from one of TESmart's websites(E.g, www.tesmart.com is in English, www.tesmart.de is in German, www.tesmart.jp is in Japanese).
   • Some examples of non-valid Proof of Purchase are:
     • A picture of the actual product.
     • A Certificate of Authenticity.
     • Receipts from non-authorized TESmart Dealers.
     • Receipts from any online auction sites, liquidators, or clearance houses.
     • Canceled checks.
     • Credit card statements.

2. What if I don't have Proof of Purchase?

   • If you purchased directly from tesmart.com, we may have a record of your purchase and can locate it for you. Just let us know the order number. If you do not have the order number, we may be able to locate it using your name, address, and e-mail address.
   • If you purchased from a TESmart dealer or reseller, contact the dealer or reseller and see if they can provide a copy of your receipt. They will often have your purchase history on file and be able to supply a copy of the receipt for you.
   • If the product was purchased online, be sure to check your old e-mails. The vendor should have sent you a confirmation page showing that the product has been shipped to you.
   • If the product was a gift, we suggest you ask the giver to provide you with a receipt. You may also ask them if they could handle the Limited Warranty process for you if asking for the receipt is not appropriate.

3. Why does TESmart require valid Proof of Purchase?

   • TESmart must positively identify that the product falls within the applicable Limited Warranty period. We also need to verify that the product was purchased from an authorized seller of TESmart products.
   • Products purchased from non-authorized dealers are often used as counterfeit, re-boxed, defective, or gray market goods. These units may also not be designed and packaged to work in your country and may not meet all legal and safety requirements. TESmart will not be able to honor a Limited Warranty on products not purchased from an authorized dealer or ones that are outside the Limited Warranty period. If you have purchased the product from an unauthorized dealer, all support and Limited Warranty issues should be directed to that dealer.
   • TESmart has these policies in place to protect both our valued customers and resellers.

4. Who is authorized to sell TESmart products?

   • TESmart currently sells products directly on Amazon, eBay, tesmart.com, and tesmart.de and we are in the process of covering more online sites. If you have any questions as to whether or not a dealer is an authorized reseller, please contact us at the following link.

5. How long is my Limited Warranty?

   • You are eligible for one-year Limited Warranty support commencing upon the date of the retail purchase of your product. If you are a German customer, you are eligible for 2-year Limited Warranty support commencing upon the date of the retail purchase of your product, in accordance with applicable local law.
   • All new products will have the one-year Warranty Period, subject to applicable local law. Certain "end of life", sell out or discontinued products may have a shorter Warranty Period; this will be clearly marked at the time of purchase and the given Warranty Period will be stated at that time.
   • The VIP extended warranty expires within three years from the date of the product purchase. Register now to extend the warranty to 3 years!  
   • The registration extension warranty program is for the main unit of TESmart KVM switch series products. Non-KVM series products (such as matrices, HDMI splitters, KVM extenders, etc.) and accessories (such as cables, remote controllers, power adaptors, etc.) are not covered by registration extension warranty program.
   • The registration extension warranty program is available for customers in the U.S. and EU who order from websites or Amazon stores operated by TESmart brand. 
   • If you are uncertain whether your product is eligible for Limited Warranty support or registration extension warranty program, please contact our support team for clarification.

Goods presented for repair will be replaced by new goods of the same type rather than being repaired. TESmart reserves the sole right to determine whether a claim is eligible and/or whether the product is defective. Where the product is an "end of life" product model, TESmart may (at its sole option) exchange the product with a functionally equivalent substitute model from TESmart's current product range. TESmart has the sole option to provide any other type of remedy in addition to or in substitution of the aforesaid remedies. Exchanged products shall be warranted free from defects for a period of ninety (90) days after the date of exchange (as the case may be), or for the remainder of the original Warranty Period, whichever is longer.
   • Help Resources. Before lodging a claim on the Limited Warranty, please review the online help resources at support.tesmart.com. If the product is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources, please contact TESmart through support.tesmart.com or your authorized distributor or dealer. You may be required to assist with the diagnosis process to verify and ascertain any issues which you may be facing with the product. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary depending on the country in which the Limited Warranty claim is lodged.
