VIII. APPLICABLE LAW AND ADDITIONAL LEGAL RIGHTS FOR
CONSUMERS
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. These conditions are
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of California
(with exception of its conflict of law provisions), and the application
of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. The non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the courts of California is agreed, which means that you may bring a
claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with
this Global Warranty in the country which you have your habitual
residence where you may have additional rights. These rights may
vary.
For original consumers who are covered by consumer protection laws
or regulations in their country, state, or province of purchase or, if
different, their country, state, or province of residence, the benefits
conferred by this warranty are in addition to all rights and remedies
conveyed by such consumer protection laws and regulations. To the
extent that liability under such consumer laws can be limited, NZXT’s
liability is limited, and its sole option, to repair or replacement, either
new or refurbished, with a similar function that is equal or greater in
value depending on supply.
In the United Kingdom:
• For NZXT products sold to customers in the UK, during the
expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the
following:
> Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate
refund.
> Up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're
entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
> Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you
may be entitled to some money back.
• If the person seeking to rely on the guarantee is not the original
consumer, the NZXT Warranty will cover the product in relation
to that person provided that they are able to provide proof of the
transfer of the benefit of the guarantee from the original consumer.
• The implied warranties under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says
that your goods must be as described, fit for all purposes for which
such goods are usually supplied, and of satisfactory quality.
In the EU:
• If you are a consumer and have your habitual residence in the EU,
you additionally enjoy the protection aorded to you by provisions
that cannot be derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law
where you have your habitual residence.
