Encouragement for Upgrades and Modifications

At Apex Gaming PCs, we believe in empowering our customers to fully enjoy and customize their PCs. You are encouraged to upgrade your PC, tinker with hardware, and take it to local repair shops if you wish. However, please note that if physical damage is observed or parts fail due to any modifications, third-party repairs, or improper handling, the warranty for the affected parts will be voided. Our warranty covers only parts that have not been damaged or improperly handled during such activities.


Third-Party Statements and Recommendations

Apex Gaming PCs cannot verify the statements made by any third parties regarding a PC's issues. As such, we will not refund or compensate a customer for any recommendations or work performed by third parties. To ensure your warranty remains intact and to avoid unnecessary expenses, we strongly encourage contacting Apex Gaming PCs directly for diagnostics, repairs, and support.
