At Divergent POS, we are committed to providing reliable POS hardware to support your business operations. Our Hardware Warranty Policy explains the warranty coverage available for POS hardware purchased from Divergent POS, including covered defects, exclusions, Dead on Arrival (DOA) claims, warranty procedures, and available resolutions.

Please review this policy carefully and keep your official invoice or proof of purchase, as warranty coverage may vary depending on the hardware purchased.

Warranty Coverage

Divergent POS warrants eligible POS hardware against defects in materials and workmanship when the hardware is used under normal operating conditions and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

The applicable warranty period begins from the date indicated on the official sales invoice or other valid proof of purchase.

The specific warranty period may vary depending on the hardware model, manufacturer, and product category. Customers should refer to their invoice or warranty documentation for the exact coverage period applicable to their hardware.

POS Hardware

Warranty periods may apply to products such as:

  • POS terminals
  • Touchscreen POS systems
  • Android POS terminals
  • Windows tablets
  • Mini PCs
  • Touchscreen monitors
  • Customer displays
  • Other approved POS computing devices

Peripheral Hardware

Depending on the product purchased, warranty coverage may also apply to:

  • Thermal receipt printers
  • Barcode scanners
  • Cash drawers
  • Kitchen printers
  • Label printers
  • Customer displays
  • Routers and network devices
  • Other POS peripherals

The warranty period for each product will be based on the terms stated on the applicable invoice, quotation, product documentation, or warranty agreement.

What the Warranty Covers

The hardware warranty generally covers defects that result from manufacturing or workmanship issues during the applicable warranty period.

Examples may include:

  • Hardware that fails under normal operating conditions
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Defective internal components
  • Hardware malfunction caused by a manufacturing issue
  • Failure of a covered component that is determined to be defective

If a hardware issue is reported, Divergent POS may conduct troubleshooting and diagnostic testing to determine whether the problem is covered by the warranty.

If the issue is confirmed to be a covered defect, Divergent POS may provide an appropriate resolution in accordance with this policy.

What the Warranty Does Not Cover

The warranty does not cover damage or failure caused by circumstances outside normal use or manufacturing defects.

Examples include:

  • Accidental drops or physical impact
  • Liquid spills or water damage
  • Cracked screens or damaged displays
  • Broken ports, connectors, buttons, or casing caused by physical damage
  • Improper installation or setup
  • Misuse, abuse, or neglect
  • Unauthorized repairs or modifications
  • Tampering with internal components
  • Damage caused by electrical surges or unstable power
  • Improper voltage or power supply
  • Damage caused by fire, flooding, lightning, or other external events
  • Damage caused by pests or insects
  • Use of incompatible accessories or third-party components
  • Use outside the manufacturer's recommended specifications
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Cosmetic damage that does not affect functionality
  • Consumable components that naturally deteriorate over time
  • Damage resulting from improper transportation or handling after delivery
  • Software issues that are unrelated to a hardware defect

Divergent POS reserves the right to determine whether a reported issue is covered under the applicable warranty after inspection or diagnosis.

Normal Wear and Tear

Hardware naturally experiences wear through regular use.

The following may be considered normal wear and tear and may not qualify for warranty replacement:

  • Minor scratches or scuffs
  • Fading or discoloration
  • Normal wear on buttons or keys
  • Gradual battery capacity reduction
  • Minor cosmetic deterioration
  • Normal aging of hardware components
  • Wear resulting from regular daily operation

Normal wear and tear does not automatically indicate a manufacturing defect.

Dead on Arrival (DOA)

Divergent POS understands that receiving a defective device can disrupt your business. For this reason, hardware that arrives with a significant defect may qualify for a Dead on Arrival (DOA) assessment.

A product may be considered DOA when it has a substantial hardware defect that prevents basic operation shortly after delivery and the issue is determined not to be caused by incorrect installation, misuse, physical damage, software configuration, or other excluded circumstances.

DOA Requirements

To report a potential DOA issue:

  1. Contact Divergent POS as soon as the issue is discovered.
  2. Provide your order details or proof of purchase.
  3. Provide the hardware model and relevant serial number, if applicable.
  4. Provide photos or videos showing the reported issue when requested.
  5. Follow the troubleshooting instructions provided by our support team.
  6. Keep the original packaging and accessories until the issue has been assessed.

DOA claims are subject to verification and approval by Divergent POS.

Warranty Claim Procedure

If you experience a hardware problem during the applicable warranty period, please follow these steps.

Step 1: Contact Divergent POS

Contact our support team and provide information about the hardware issue.

You may be asked to provide:

  • Customer or business name
  • Invoice or proof of purchase
  • Hardware model
  • Serial number, if applicable
  • Date of purchase
  • Description of the issue
  • Photos or videos of the problem
  • Other information required for diagnosis

Step 2: Troubleshooting

Our technical support team may guide you through basic troubleshooting steps.

This may include checking:

  • Power connections
  • Cables and accessories
  • Network connections
  • Hardware settings
  • Peripheral connections
  • Software configuration

Some issues may be resolved through troubleshooting without requiring the hardware to be returned.

Step 3: Warranty Assessment

If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, Divergent POS may assess the hardware to determine whether it qualifies for warranty service.

The assessment may determine:

  • Whether the hardware is still within its warranty period
  • Whether the reported issue is a hardware defect
  • Whether the issue is covered by the warranty
  • Whether the hardware has physical or liquid damage
  • Whether unauthorized repairs or modifications have been performed

Step 4: Hardware Return

If a physical inspection is required, Divergent POS will provide instructions for returning the hardware.

Customers may be required to:

  • Properly package the hardware
  • Include required accessories
  • Provide the relevant invoice or warranty information
  • Follow the return instructions provided by Divergent POS

Customers should not send hardware to Divergent POS without first receiving return instructions from our support team.

Warranty Resolution

After the hardware has been assessed, Divergent POS may provide one of the following solutions, depending on the nature of the issue and availability of parts or replacement units:

Repair

Divergent POS may repair the defective hardware when repair is practical and appropriate.

Replacement

If the hardware cannot reasonably be repaired, Divergent POS may replace it with:

  • The same model; or
  • An equivalent or comparable model, subject to availability.

Replacement hardware may be new or refurbished where permitted by the applicable warranty terms.

Other Resolution

If repair or replacement is unavailable or not commercially reasonable, Divergent POS may determine an alternative resolution in accordance with the applicable sales and warranty terms.

Hardware Replacement and BIR Requirements

For businesses using POS hardware subject to applicable BIR requirements, customers should coordinate with Divergent POS before replacing or permanently changing a registered POS device.

Where required, the appropriate BIR procedures, documentation, registration, or system updates may need to be completed before the replacement hardware is used for official transactions.

Divergent POS can assist customers in understanding the applicable process based on their specific POS setup.

Hardware Not Covered by Warranty

If an inspection determines that the reported problem is not covered by the warranty, the customer may be responsible for applicable:

  • Diagnostic fees
  • Repair charges
  • Replacement costs
  • Parts costs
  • Shipping or transportation costs
  • On-site service charges

Divergent POS will communicate applicable charges before proceeding with chargeable repair or replacement services, where reasonably practicable.

Third-Party Hardware

Hardware purchased from third-party suppliers or manufacturers may be subject to the manufacturer's own warranty terms.

Divergent POS may assist customers in coordinating support where applicable, but the final warranty coverage and resolution may be determined by the original manufacturer or supplier.

Third-party accessories that are not approved or supplied by Divergent POS may not be covered under Divergent POS's hardware warranty.

Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for properly operating and maintaining their POS hardware.

To help protect your equipment, we recommend:

  • Using the hardware according to the manufacturer's instructions
  • Using a stable and appropriate power supply
  • Using surge protection where appropriate
  • Keeping hardware away from liquids
  • Keeping equipment in a clean and suitable environment
  • Avoiding unauthorized repairs or modifications
  • Using compatible accessories
  • Properly securing POS equipment
  • Reporting hardware problems as soon as they are discovered

Customers should also retain their official invoice and other warranty documentation for future reference.

Warranty Limitations

The warranty provided by Divergent POS is limited to the applicable hardware and warranty terms stated on the customer's invoice, quotation, warranty documentation, or applicable agreement.

Warranty coverage does not automatically include software, third-party products, network services, internet connectivity, or other services unless specifically stated.

Divergent POS does not guarantee that every hardware issue will be repairable or that replacement parts will always be available for every model.

Hardware availability may depend on the manufacturer's production, parts availability, product lifecycle, and other circumstances.

Data and Customer Information

Customers are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of their business data.

Before sending hardware for repair or replacement, customers should ensure that important business information has been backed up where applicable.

Divergent POS is not responsible for loss of data resulting from hardware failure, repair, replacement, resetting, or servicing unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly agreed in writing.

Product Support After Warranty

After the applicable warranty period expires, Divergent POS may continue to provide technical assistance, repair, or replacement services where available.

Post-warranty services may be subject to applicable service, parts, labor, or replacement charges.

Availability of support and replacement parts may depend on the age and availability of the hardware model.

Policy Updates

Divergent POS may update this Hardware Warranty Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our products, manufacturers' warranty terms, services, or applicable requirements.

The latest version published on the Divergent POS website will serve as the current version of this policy.
