Warranty
ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON PARTS AND LABOR
(Covers units purchased as new in United States and Puerto Rico Only)
VIZIO provides a warranty to the original purchaser of its products against defects in materials and workmanship
for a period of one year of non-commercial usage and ninety (90) days of commercial use. If a VIZIO product is
defective within the warranty period, VIZIO will either repair or replace the unit at its sole option and discretion.
To obtain warranty service, contact VIZIO Technical Support via email: TechSupport@VIZIO.com or via phone at

Parts and Labor
There will be no charge for parts or labor during the warranty period. Replacement parts and units may be new or
recertified at VIZIO’s option and sole discretion. Replacement parts and units are warranted for the remaining
portion of the original warranty or for ninety (90) days from warranty service or replacement, whichever is later.
Types of Service
Units 30” or larger will usually be serviced in-home. In-home service requires complete and easy access to the unit
and does not include de-installation or re-installation of the product. However, in some cases, it may be necessary
to send the unit to a VIZIO service center. VIZIO will cover the transportation charges to and from the same
customer location.
Units less than 30” must be sent to a VIZIO service center. VIZIO is not responsible for transportation costs to the
service center, but VIZIO will cover return shipping to the customer. PRE-AUTHORIZATION IS REQUIRED
BEFORE SENDING ANY UNIT IN FOR SERVICE.
Any returns to VIZIO’s service centers must utilize either the original carton box and shipping material or a
replacement box and material provided by VIZIO. VIZIO technical support will provide instructions for packing and
shipping the unit to the VIZIO service center.
Limitations and Exclusions
VIZIO’s one-year limited warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship. Items not covered include but
are not limited to cosmetic damage, normal wear and tear, misuse, signal issues, power surges, and damages
from shipping, acts of God, any sort of customer misuse, installation, customer modifications, adjustments, and
set-up issues. Units with unreadable or removed serial numbers, “image burn-in”, and routine maintenance are not
covered. This warranty does not cover products sold “AS IS”, “FACTORY RECERTIFIED”, or by a non-authorized
reseller.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED OR DESCRIBED ABOVE. ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIOD OF TIME SET FORTH
ABOVE. VIZIO'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY
CAUSE WHATSOEVER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE DISPLAY. VIZIO
SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF USE, COMMERCIAL LOSS, LOST REVENUE OR LOST
PROFITS, OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW
