-
Inspection & Acceptance: The Customer is required to inspect all goods upon delivery and notify eeio in writing of any visible damage, shortage, or discrepancy within 5 business days of delivery. Failure to notify within this period will be deemed as acceptance of the goods in satisfactory condition, and no claims for visible damage or shortage will be entertained thereafter.

Dead on Arrival (DOA): DOA claims must be submitted to eeio in writing within 7 business days of delivery. eeio will assess and liaise with the relevant vendor or distributor in accordance with their applicable DOA policy.

-
Warranty: All hardware products are covered by the manufacturer's or vendor's warranty only. eeio does not provide any warranty beyond that offered by the manufacturer. eeio will assist the Customer in submitting warranty claims as a courtesy service; however, this does not constitute an assumption of warranty obligation by eeio.
-
Force Majeure: eeio shall not be held liable for delivery delays or failures resulting from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to shipping disruptions, port congestion, customs clearance delays, global supply chain constraints, or acts of government. Such events do not entitle the Customer to cancel an order or claim compensation. eeio will notify the Customer as soon as practicable of any such delay and will use reasonable endeavours to mitigate the impact.
