Acer Malaysia’s SuperCare Warranty Packages Offer More Coverage
Acer Malaysia introduced new and more comprehensive Acer SuperCare warranty packages to offer more flexibility to todayÕs sophisticated customers for better peace of mind.
Under the Acer SuperCare packages which have increased from the current three to five options, customers can enjoy hassle-free repair and services as well as nationwide on-site support by Highpoint Service Network. Particularly useful for those who travel overseas for work with Acer laptops is the extended worldwide coverage with international travelerÕs warranty (ITW).
Acer Malaysia is also taking the lead in the market to include Accidental Damage and Theft coverage in the three-year Acer SuperCare 1, 2 and 3 warranty packages to give that added measure of confidence.
For customers who just want to have Accidental & Damage Theft coverage added to the warranty that comes with the new device, it is also possible now with the new options. Likewise, the same flexibility applies to the Acer SuperCare Professional package.
Acer Sales & Services Sdn Bhd General Manager of Products, Sales and Marketing, Chan Weng Hong said, ÒAs the industry leader, Acer is constantly evolving and seeking ways to serve our customers better. The new Acer SuperCare warranty packages now offer unprecedented coverage such as the pre-bundled Accidental Damage and Theft and on-site service. These new warranty packages are in tandem with the more premium devices that Acer launched recently. We believe customers of these new products are also looking for more caring and comprehensive warranty coverage to protect their new purchases that are totally stylish in design, cutting-edge in features and thoughtful in functionality. We are confident that the expansion of the warranty packages will offer our valued customers the opportunity to experience the new level of care that we have put in place for them.
“When a customer who buys a Switch Alpha 12 or the newly-launched Spin 5 also takes the Acer SuperCare 3 warranty pack, she will enjoy a 3-year warranty on accidental damage and theft, a 3-year international traveler’s warranty (ITW) and a 3-year on-site warranty. If her bag was snatched together with her Switch Alpha 12 or Spin in it, she does not have to worry about spending money to replace her laptop – she can automatically receive a replacement1 for her laptop after completing the paperwork, including lodging a police report. If she happens to drop the laptop by accident and the screen cracks, Acer will repair it at no cost as part of the warranty. Should this customer face problems with her laptop when on overseas travel, she can count on her warranty to have her laptop repaired by the ITW network of service centres,Ó Chan explained, citing examples.
Acer SuperCare warranty is valid only for Acer products distributed by Acer Malaysia and its authorized resellers in Malaysia, with the exception of ITW for laptops which is valid at ITW Service Centers worldwide.
