"Must Be Purchased With Hardware" The "must be purchased with hardware" precept is mandated by the software publisher. In accordance, OxfordTEC.com customers must purchase some type of product which falls under the general category of computer hardware in order to purchase applicable software. Hardware is classified as any component that will be used when assembling a computer system (a hard drive, motherboard, processor and a floppy drive are all examples of merchandise that will qualify). There is no specific or set price the hardware has to be, merely that there is some sort of eligible hardware present in the order itself.
Money Back Guarantee/Refund Policy All merchandise unless otherwise indicated may be returned within 30 days from the original invoice date for a refund. CPUs must be returned within 7 days from the invoice date for a refund. A return authorization number is required for all returns. A 15% restocking fee may apply. Additional deductions may be made for CPU returns to reflect the current market value. These terms apply to all refunds. Most products are shipped with a refund/replacement guarantee period unless otherwise noted in the product listing. Customers must inform OxfordTEC.com of any order discrepancy within 7 days from the invoice date so that we may investigate and resolve the situation accordingly.
OxfordTEC.com SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - OxfordTEC.com offers our customers a 30-day satisfaction replacement or refund guarantee on all purchases, except:
• 7-day replacement or refund guarantee on all CPUs, including Open Box processors. All other Open Box merchandise has a 15-day warranty period. • For CPUs, the base cost will reflect the current market value, and the 15% restocking fee will be applied after this adjustment.
Physical Damage Policy Physical damage to any product purchased at OxfordTEC.com will effectively void warranty coverage. Improper Installation of CPU fans and/or improper clocking may cause CPUs to chip. CPUs that are chipped, burnt or have bent pins are considered physically damaged and cannot be returned for refund or replacement. Physical damage includes but is not limited to improper handling and/or any other type of damage sustained by irregular usage. OxfordTEC.com encounters bent pins regularly when inspecting physically damaged CPUs. Forcing a processor into position will not solve an installation problem and may consequently void any applicable warranty coverage. Intel and AMD will not accept physically damaged processors back from OxfordTEC.com. As a result, OxfordTEC.com will return any physically damaged CPU back to the customer at the customer's expense.
Restocking Fee A 15% restocking fee may be applied to all returns for refund. Shipping charges are non-refundable. No refunds after 30 days.

If you purchase an in-stock item with a pre-order item, you will be charged accordingly for the available product and the difference when your pre-ordered item is in stock and ready for shipment.
