Under no condition will Ateck.com cross-ship any item after 30 days of original invoice date.


Mail-in Rebates
For your convenience, Ateck.com does its best to advertise any current rebates on our web site. The prices listed on our web site do not include the rebate savings. Any use of these rebates is limited to any terms or conditions as determined by the manufacturer. If you have any questions regarding the rebate terms & conditions, please contact the manufacturer directly.

Sales Tax
Sales tax is only required for orders shipping within our resident states of business. Therefore, all orders shipping within  New Jersey will be charged the applicable sales tax according to your area's tax rate.

Item Testing
Like any other retailers, all items are shipped as we received from the manufacturers. Ateck.com does not test any item. 

OEM vs. Retail
The retail and OEM versions usually will have the same exact product, however the retail version usually will come with bundled software, retail packaging, and more bells and whistles so to speak. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), White Box, Brown Box versions will come with the actual product and usually the drivers, no special packaging or software. Occasionally the retail version will accompany a longer warranty.
Suggestion: Check out the manufacturer's website, to see what all is included.

"Bare Drive" or "Bare Card"
These items come exactly as they are described. You will only receive the bare drive or the bare card. These items are brand new. However they are purchased in bulk, and will not accompany any documentation, software, or accessories.
Suggestion: Most drivers and documentation can be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site.

"Must be purchased with Hardware"
These items may not be purchased by themselves, and must be purchased with another item from our store. Any item in our on-line store will be sufficient. There are no minimum dollar requirements or specific hardware requirements.

Money Back Guarantee- Refund period
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 CPUs returns to reflect the current market value. These terms apply to all refunds. All products are shipped with a repair/replacement warranty period. Customers must inform Ateck.com of any order discrepancy within 7 days from the invoice date so that we may investigate and resolve the situation accordingly.
 

1. Ateck.com SATISFACTION GUARANTEE - Ateck.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 refurbished processors. All other refurbished merchandise has a 15 day warranty period.

  • Note: For CPU, base cost will reflect current market price, and 15% restocking fee will apply after this adjustment. Therefore, total refund is subtracting.

Product Listings
Ateck.com product descriptions are not designed or intended to replace your personal product knowledge, experience and/or research.

Ateck.com strives to be as accurate as possible in our product descriptions, compatibility references, information content, pricing, links and any other product information contained in or referenced on our site. However, occasional human error may occur and we therefore cannot guarantee that all product descriptions, specifications, pricing or any other content on the site is entirely accurate, complete, current, or that we are responsible for these errors. In the event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical, informational, technical or any other error, Ateck.com at its sole discretion shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order for that product and immediately amend, correct or remove the inaccurate information. Moreover, all links on Ateck.com are intended only to provide visitors with assistance finding additional information and professional opinion; however, due to the fast pace of the industry, complex nature and personal subjective experiences, reviews can become outdated or less accurate over time or even at inception and should therefore never be the sole determinate in a purchasing decision, or, most importantly, a substitute for doing one's own product research. Please remember to consider, you, our valued patron, are ultimately responsible for any purchase decision.
