Policy & Guidelines

Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Hardtekk Custom PC Studio. These terms govern custom PC assembly, component procurement, nationwide shipping, stress-testing procedures, and our 3-Year Hardware Lab Warranty.

1 Starting Price & Custom Quotes

All custom PC baseline packages displaying "Starting from RM 1,000" represent the minimum baseline entry-level configuration (e.g., streamlined daily driver or esports starter build).

Note on Component Quotes: Final build prices fluctuate based on live market component pricing (GPU tier, CPU, high-frequency DDR5 RAM, and custom liquid cooling hardline additions).

Any quotations generated via our WhatsApp Builder Desk or Interactive Quote Wizard remain valid for 7 business days from issuance, after which component costs may adjust to match distributor inventory levels.

2 Nationwide Delivery & Freight Fees

Unless explicitly designated as part of an active promotional campaign (e.g., "Free Nationwide Shipping"), quoted PC build prices do not include delivery fees.

  • West Malaysia (Peninsular): Standard courier dispatch via insured priority logistics (RM 35 – RM 70 depending on chassis weight and packaging volume).
  • East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak): Secure air or ocean freight with insured wooden crate enclosure (calculated by volumetric weight).
  • Klang Valley Workshop Pickup: Complimentary self-collection available at our master builder lab with live bench demonstration.
  • Transit Protection: Every dispatched rig is shielded with expanding high-density foam (InstaPak) inside the glass chassis and double-boxed with reinforced corner guards.

3 Build Timeline & 24H Stress Testing

Hardtekk refuses to compromise on build integrity. Every custom PC undergoes a multi-stage quality control cycle before release:

  • Component Inspection & Hand Assembly: Tailored cable routing, optimal fan airflow orientation, and thermal paste spread verification.
  • 24-Hour Thermal Burn-In: Sustained GPU and CPU loops (Cinebench R23, FurMark, 3DMark Time Spy) ensuring temperatures remain under lab thresholds.
  • MemTest86 & Stability Check: Zero memory errors and EXPO/XMP profile validation for stutter-free gaming.
  • Clean OS Installation: Genuine Windows 11 Pro installed clean and debloated with updated BIOS, chipset, and GPU drivers.

Standard build lead time is 3 to 7 business days following deposit confirmation. Custom acrylic hardline liquid cooling loops require 7 to 14 business days for meticulous tube bending and pressure leak testing.

4 3-Year Hardware Lab Warranty

All complete custom desktop systems built by Hardtekk are protected by our comprehensive 3-Year Hardware Lab Warranty:

  • 1-to-1 Component Replacement: During the manufacturer's warranty period, Hardtekk manages all RMA processing with local Malaysian authorized distributors.
  • Lifetime Free Labor & Diagnostics: No labor fees for hardware upgrades, thermal re-pasting, or troubleshooting for the entire lifespan of your build.
  • Warranty Exclusions: Does not cover physical impact damage, liquid spills on external ports, lightning surges (surge protector recommended), unauthorized BIOS modding, or cryptocurrency mining operations.

5 Payment Terms & Commitment Deposits

Because every custom PC is uniquely tailored to the client's specifications:

  • A 50% commitment deposit is required before component procurement, custom cabling, or chassis modification begins.
  • The remaining balance is due upon successful benchmark verification and photo/video handoff prior to dispatch or upon in-person workshop pickup.
  • Accepted payment methods: DuitNow Instant Transfer, Online Bank Transfer, and major Malaysian e-wallets.

6 Cancellation, Returns & Refund Policy

Once component boxes are unsealed and customized assembly has begun, commitment deposits become non-refundable to cover manufacturer restocking and custom labor costs.

In the improbable event of Dead-On-Arrival (DOA) hardware or courier damage, Hardtekk will expedite immediate 1-to-1 component replacement or recall the system for express servicing at zero cost to the client.
