Hi everyone,

Here's a relatively simple guide for understanding the changes to the warranty for original owners and secondhand owners.  Most people by now have heard that a proof of purchase is now needed for secondhand warranties if the product falls under our new warranty.  This warranty came into effect on May 25th, 2018.  This will be covered, but we may as well discuss everything that's needed for both original and secondhand owners for EVGA products.
 
Here's the obligatory link to the EVGA Warranty section: https://www.evga.com/warranty/

First, there are two types of dates you need to understand for the warranty:

• Purchase date - This is the date that the original owner purchased the product from EVGA.com or an authorized reseller.  This is important for the original owner only.  When the original owner registers a product, the purchase date is the correct date to use and is the date upon which the warranty begins.  This date will eventually need to be verified by a proof of purchase.
• Shipping date - This is the date that the product originally shipped from EVGA directly to a customer or to an authorized reseller.  When a secondhand owner registers a product, the shipping date will be used to determine the beginning and end of the warranty period.  Depending upon the original ship date, a proof of purchase may be needed by the secondhand owner.

Second, the product's purchase or shipping date will determine which warranty terms apply.  If the product was purchased or shipped before May 25th, 2018, then the older warranty terms apply.  If the product was purchased or shipped on or after May 25th, 2018, then the new warranty terms apply. 

• Old Warranty - Products purchased or shipped before May 25th, 2018:
  • Original Owners - Original owners need to submit a valid proof of purchase to verify that they are the original owner and to establish the purchase date, or when the warranty period begins.
    • Other reasons to upload a proof of purchase -
      Spoiler

      • Step-Up (if available for your product or region)
      • Extended Warranty (if available for your product or region)
      • EAR or Cross-ship RMA options (if available for your product or region)
      • Promotions
      • Affiliate Reward codes (proof of purchase required for approval)

      close
  • Exception - A proof of purchase does not need to be uploaded if the product was purchased on EVGA.com from your account
• Secondhand Owners - No proof of purchase necessary if the product shipped from EVGA before May 25th, 2018

 

• New/Current Warranty - Products purchased or shipped on or after May 25th, 2018:
  • Original Owners - Original owners need to submit a valid proof of purchase to verify that they are the original owner and to establish the purchase date, or when the warranty period begins.
    • Other reasons to upload a proof of purchase -
      Spoiler

      • Step-Up (if available for your product or region)
      • Extended Warranty (if available for your product or region)
      • EAR or Cross-ship RMA options (if available for your product or region)
      • Promotions
      • Affiliate Reward codes (proof of purchase required for approval)

      close
  • Exception - A proof of purchase does not need to be uploaded if the product was purchased on EVGA.com from your account
• Secondhand Owners - Secondhand owners of a product shipped from EVGA on or after May 25th, 2018 must provide a proof of purchase of the sale from the previous owner to you, the current owner.

Third, if a proof of purchase is needed, what do original owners or secondhand owners need to provide?
 
We have a helpful FAQ to explain how to acquire and upload your proof of purchase here:https://www.evga.com/support/faq/afmmain.aspx?faqid=58652.  There are other types of proof of purchase that will be accepted.  Similarly, you may need to scan or take a photo of your proof of purchase, if you only have a physical copy.  If you are unable to provide these types of a proof of purchase, please contact our Customer Service to see what other options may be available.

• Original owners:
  • Original owners must provide a proof of purchase regardless of when the product was purchased.
    • The exception to the rule is if the original owner purchased the product from EVGA.com from the original owner's EVGA.com account.  Please remember to register the product, however.
  • Original owners should be able to provide the proof of purchase from the authorized reseller.  In most cases, a screenshot, PDF, or Windows XPS version from the reseller should be acceptable.  As noted above, a scanned or photograph of the proof of purchase should be sufficient.  Again, beyond the most common types of proof of purchases provided to us, there may be other options for an original owner to provide a proof of purchase.
• Secondhand owners
  • Secondhand owners are required to provide a proof of purchase if the product was shipped from EVGA on or after May 25th, 2018.  If the product shipped from EVGA prior to May 25th, 2018, no proof of purchase is required.
  • Secondhand owners should provide a proof of purchase showing the sale between the current owner (i.e. YOU) and previous owner (i.e. the person selling the card).  This may be as simple as a screenshot of a PayPal invoice, Venmo invoice, Amazon Payments invoice, Ebay invoice, etc.  It is understood that sometimes sales are not done online, so another means of showing the sale, even if it's made for the purpose of this proof of purchase, is acceptable. 
  • Secondhand owners should not provide the original owner's proof of purchase from an authorized reseller, or the proof of purchase between previous owners of the card.
  • If you have any questions about what type of proof of purchase is needed, please contact our Customer Service.

Q. My product is registered.  How can I tell how much time is left on my warranty?

Spoiler

A. I'm glad you asked!  We've recently added the time left for both original owners and second hand owners.

1. First, go to your My Products page:  https://www.evga.com/community/myProducts.asp
2. Locate the product you want to review and click "View Details".

For original owners, you'll see details similar to this:
 

• For original owners:  Note that your warranty is based on the purchase date that you enter.  If the information is incorrect, then the days left will be incorrect.  Please contact one of our Customer Service representatives to assist.  A proof of purchase may be required to verify any changes to this information.

For secondhand owners, you'll see slightly different information:
 

• For secondhand owners:  Note that the days left status is based on the shipping date from EVGA.  For this example, the product was "shipped" on March 1, 2018.  It has a 3 year warranty that began on 3/1/18, not the date of purchase that was entered.  Regardless of the purchase date entered, the system will pull from the date that the product left the EVGA warehouse. 
• If you are an original owner and you see this message, then you likely entered the wrong place of purchase, or there may be an issue with your serial number.  In either case, please contact one of our Customer Service representatives to assist.  A proof of purchase may be required to verify any changes to this information.

A. Unfortunately, -RX products and certain other products do not quality for a secondhand warranty. Please review the EVGA Warranty information for your product at https://www.evga.com/warranty/.

Q. My product is registered.  How can I tell how much time is left on my warranty?

Spoiler

A. I'm glad you asked!  We've recently added the time left for both original owners and second hand owners.

1. First, go to your My Products page:  https://www.evga.com/community/myProducts.asp
2. Locate the product you want to review and click "View Details".

For original owners, you'll see details similar to this:
 

• For original owners:  Note that your warranty is based on the purchase date that you enter.  If the information is incorrect, then the days left will be incorrect.  Please contact one of our Customer Service representatives to assist.  A proof of purchase may be required to verify any changes to this information.

For secondhand owners, you'll see slightly different information:
 

• For secondhand owners:  Note that the days left status is based on the shipping date from EVGA.  For this example, the product was "shipped" on March 1, 2018.  It has a 3 year warranty that began on 3/1/18, not the date of purchase that was entered.  Regardless of the purchase date entered, the system will pull from the date that the product left the EVGA warehouse. 
• If you are an original owner and you see this message, then you likely entered the wrong place of purchase, or there may be an issue with your serial number.  In either case, please contact one of our Customer Service representatives to assist.  A proof of purchase may be required to verify any changes to this information.

 Hopefully, this clears up any confusion over this matter.  If you have other questions, please ask them below and I'll consider adding them to the FAQ.

Just wondering about warranty on a second hand card that has been used for MINING . They are running 24/7 at full tilt. So in the future when these miners get sick of running their power bills up they will sell on the second hand market. EVGA allows the warranty that is left to be passed to new owner as long as they can send in a invoice as such. Surely these cards are more liable to break down than say a gamers card that is switched off at most intervals. Are EVGA going to allow the warranty to pass to new owner when these cards are run to death so to speak. Just a though for future sales to buyers.

The mining part doesnt matter to evga, what you do with the card is up to you. As long as its physically unaltered and not physically damaged they will honor the second hand warranty if appropriate and the limited 3 year warranty will still be from when the card left the warehouse. Now, you as a buyer on the second hand market is a different thing, cause it would def be in your interest to find out if the card was used for mining/folding etc... and being hammered on 24/7/365 cause yes, it will wear the components out much quicker with that kind of stress and heat. It should be quite discounted, if you buy it at all.

Very well Written. This is very important to know for everyone. kudos 

Today I bought a B-Stock GPU to gift to a friend who has desperately been searching for a video card.  If this card is going to be gifted to someone else right from the start, can they get the 1 year warranty coverage normally offered on B-Stock GPU purchases?
 
I saw someone ask a similar question in this thread a couple years ago, but figured I should ask this fresh since some time has passed.

Unfortunately not, our B-Stock warranty is non transferable, if the card does have issues within a year you can set up the RMA for them however they cannot initiate the RMA process as they are not the original purchaser.
