For non-defective product purchased directly from StarTech.com, you may return it within 30 days from the original date of purchase for a refund. For products purchased directly from StarTech.com requiring warranty support, please refer to the details below.

Warranty terms

StarTech.com is not responsible for damage to or loss of any programs, data, or removable storage media. You are responsible for backing up any programs or data on removable storage media.

Any implied warranties that may be imposed by applicable law are limited to the terms of this limited warranty. In no event shall StarTech.com be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of business, profits, data or use, whether in an action in contract or tort or based on a warranty, arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of the product, even if StarTech.com has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree that replacement or refund, as applicable, under the warranty services described herein is your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any breach of the StarTech.com limited warranty set forth herein.
