PST does not take any responsibilities for such delays. If the item is a current stocked item and a part of Precision System, it will be replaced from stock to avoid inconvenience. The client will have the opportunity at all times to upgrade to the next model at a minimal charge to avoid any down time on their computer System.

Turnaround time for warranty claims largely depends on the suppliers or the distributors.

We do not provide advance replacement unless the system is covered by Precision Premium Cover. PST is not responsible for any losses resulting from the time it takes to have the faulty item replaced or repaired.
