If the Product fails during normal and proper use within the warranty period, GIGABYTE will, at its discretion, repair or replace the Product. The defective parts within the Product, or the Product itself, will be replaced with functional equivalents using new or refurbished parts or units.

If a Product is near the end of a given warranty period and a repair/replacement is not possible GIGABYTE reserves the right to offer an alternative of equal or greater value or a partial refund proportional to the remaining warranty life of the Product.
