Our warranty covers all our computer systems against defects in materials and/or workmanship for the duration of term of the warranty. Warranty service for all peripherals (monitors, speakers, external equipment) is provided by the manufacturer of the component. All claims for warranty service must be made during the term of the warranty.

Parts Warranty
All Rocklin Systems computers include a 1 year warranty. If a component fails or is found to be defective and is reported during this term, Rocklin Systems will repair or replace the defective part with new or reconditioned parts at our discretion. The client can purchase a 3 year warranty for your Rocklin Systems computer at time of purchase.

Standard return time for all desktop and server systems is 3-4 business days after delivery is received. If any parts required for replacement are not in stock, additional time will be added to complete the repair. All laptop repairs that require repair or replacement of the motherboard, chassis, or LCD will have a minimum turnaround time of 9 business days after delivery is received.

If Rocklin Systems determines that it is necessary to have a system shipped back for repair within the first 30 days, return shipping will be covered by warranty. In order for Rocklin Systems to cover the cost of shipping the client may choose one of the options below:

  1. Rocklin Systems will issue an electronic return label via e-mail to the client. The client will print out this label and bring the computer packed and ready to ship to a local UPS counter for shipment.
  2. Rocklin Systems will issue a UPS pickup request, which UPS will arrive with to the client’s office/house. The computer must be ready to ship. Rocklin Systems has no control over what time UPS will arrive.

The client may elect to pay for a faster shipping method. All systems sent in for repair must include all cables, disks and other parts purchased with the system.
