WELCOME TO THE VIZIO DIGITAL FAMILY!

ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON PARTS AND LABOR

VIZIO provides a "ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY" against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship to the original purchaser of a new VIZIO display purchased from an authorized VIZIO U.S. reseller and used in the fifty (50) United States or Puerto Rico.

VIZIO's Responsibility

VIZIO displays purchased new from an authorized VIZIO U.S. reseller and that are used in the fifty (50) United States or Puerto Rico are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of the original retail purchase. If the display fails to conform to this limited warranty, VIZIO will, at its option and sole discretion, repair or replace the display.

Labor

During the one-year limited warranty period, VIZIO will provide, when needed, service labor to repair a manufacturing defect. Repairs required on displays which are thirty (30) inches and larger generally will be made "on-site" where the display is installed. The determination for performing the on-site repair is dependent upon the manufacturing defect and is at VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Repairs required on displays which are less than thirty (30) inches generally will be performed at a VIZIO service center.

Parts

Repairs may be made with new or recertified parts, or the entire unit may be replaced with a new or recertified unit, at VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Replacement parts or replacement units provided under this limited warranty are warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty period, or for ninety (90) days from warranty service or replacement, whichever is later.

Parts and service labor that are VIZIO's responsibility under this limited warranty will be provided without charge. All other service is at the customer's expense.
