What this means for merchants:
Protection against manufacturing defects: StoreHub will take steps to resolve the issue. If the POS hardware malfunctions or fails due to a flaw in how it was made or the quality of the materials used.
StoreHub’s commitment to resolution: StoreHub’s commitment includes options to repair the defect, provide a workaround, or ship a replacement unit (new, equivalent or refurbished) at no extra cost.
Peace of mind: This warranty offers merchants assurance that their investment in StoreHub’s core POS system is protected, minimising potential downtime and unexpected costs due to hardware failures.
Understanding Warranty Limitations
Exclusions to Hardware Warranty Coverage
Conversely, the Hardware Warranty will not cover damage arising from:
Accidents, such as drops, spills (liquid ingress), or physical impact.
Misuse, abuse, or neglect of the hardware.
Improper installation or maintenance is not in accordance with StoreHub’s guidelines.
Unauthorised modifications, repairs, or tampering with the hardware.
Damage caused by external factors including power surges, electrical storms, or extreme environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
Damage from improper electrical supply.
Damage from pests or insects.
Data loss or corruption.
Use of the hardware in a manner inconsistent with its intended purpose and StoreHub’s specifications.
Failure due to the natural aging of internal electronic components such as electrolytic capacitors, circuit boards, connectors, buttons, batteries, or power supplies. While these components have a lifespan, their eventual failure due to age is considered outside the scope of a limited hardware warranty against manufacturing defects within the defined warranty period.
Damage resulting from external events or improper handling remains the responsibility of the user.
Dead on Arrival (DOA)
At StoreHub, we strive to ensure that all our POS hardware reaches you in perfect working order. However, in the unlikely event that your hardware arrives Dead on Arrival (DOA), we have a specific policy to ensure a swift resolution.
StoreHub considers hardware as DOA if it exhibits a substantial hardware malfunction that prevents basic operation upon the hardware delivery date within 7 business days. This excludes issues caused by incorrect setup, software configuration, or lack of expected features.
