Warranty

What Products are Covered by the Kinesis Limited Warranty

All Kinesis-brand keyboards and accessories*, plus DXT mice sold by Kinesis or by an Authorized Kinesis Reseller, are backed by a limited manufacturer’s warranty provided by Kinesis to the original purchaser**. The duration of the warranty depends on the product. See below for details.

*”Wear-and-tear” items like Palm Pads, Keycaps, and the Pivot Tether are not covered.

**Products purchased as “owned but unopened”, “like new”, “used”, “open box”, “warehouse deals” are not eligible for Warranty coverage.

The Kinesis Store sells certain non-Kinesis products, for example Cirque touch pads and Evoluent mice. Kinesis does not provide any warranty on these third-party products, but these products have warranties provided by their respective manufacturers. Please review the included product literature and contact the respective manufacturer directly from Evoluent and Cirque for warranty claims.

Kinesis Limited Warranty

Kinesis Corporation (“Kinesis”) warrants to the original retail purchaser (“Purchaser” that the Kinesis Product (“Product”) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and will perform substantially in accordance with the Product documentation (“Covered Defects”) during the “Warranty Period” as specified below (the “Warranty”).

The Warranty Period begins on the date of purchase of new products sold by the Kinesis Store (kinesis-ergo.com) or an Authorized Kinesis Reseller.

Repair parts and replacement Product may be either reconditioned or new. *Note: Shipping Charges will apply, see below for details.

Initiating a Warranty Claim

If you suspect a Product has a Covered Defect and would like to initiate a Warranty Claim, please contact Kinesis Technical Support by Submitting a Ticket. Kinesis will gather information about the Product and problem from Purchaser, and will make a prompt determination about:

  1. Whether the Product is covered by the Kinesis Limited Warranty based on date of purchase and point of purchase,
  2. Whether the reported issue is considered a Covered Defect as defined above by the Warranty, and
  3. Whether the remedy for the reported issue is a Repair or a Replacement.

Submitting a Product for Warranty Repair/Replacement
