warranties are transferable, don’t limit implied warranties or require the consumer to pay any fees to obtain service (such as shipping charges), and give customers the option of a replacement or full refund after a reasonable number of failed repair attempts. In Gpu's its tied to the serial not the original purchaser. Implied warranties can change this however. If its not implied as far as i know its full warranty. Which means product tied to the serial.
At the discretion of the customer! the Customers have the option.
Also
Tie-in sales provisions require customers to buy products or services from a particular company to maintain warranty coverage. They’re generally prohibited. (ever had a graphic card say they are gonna give you a refund of MSRP if they run out of cards and cant repair it in the actual warranty?) No.. they usually ask you can wave rights.. THEY AHVE TO ASK YOU.
Meaning they have to give you a card of equal value free and clear. IF THEY FORCE YOU TO TAKE A REFUND and the current cost of a card is sold by them higher then the MSRP or cost you paid and you cant replace it. Then you have grounds to sue in small claims and ask in your original petition for court costs. ALSO... you dont have to be in thier jurisdiction... part A

Also if an RMA'd card ... breaks your pc...
• Consequential or incidental damages are losses caused by a defective product. One example would be the cost of food that was ruined because of a defective refrigerator. You might be able to claim these, especially in states with strong consumer protection laws.
I suggest always recording you opening the package and putting in the card.. and testing it working.
Laws give you more rights
If you discover that something you bought is defective, contact the retailer and manufacturer to ask for a repair, replacement, or refund.
Along with companies’ express warranties, you also have “implied warranties” under state law. The Uniform Commercial Code, a set of laws adopted in much the same form by all states and the District of Columbia, provides an automatic “implied warranty of merchantability.” That unwritten protection guarantees that consumer products are free of substantial defects and will function properly for a reasonable period of time. What’s “reasonable” depends on the type of product and the amount you paid. States typically limit implied warranties to four years.
As a fair rule of thumb ...look at all the vendors average warranties for 2-3 years vs 1 year from amd on the Radeon VII
Credit-card warranties. Many credit and some debit cards extend the manufacturer’s written warranty, usually for up to one year, on most products you buy using the card.
ALWAYS BUYYOUR GPU ON A CREDIT CARD!!!
The Uniform Commercial Code, fully adopted by most states, stipulates that most new consumer products come not only with an express warranty, but also with a so-called implied warranty of merchantability. That is an automatic, unwritten promise that your purchase will perform as commonly expected, including that it will last a reasonable amount of time given the nature of the item. In most states, implied warranties are in effect for four years, although that doesn't necessarily mean a product must last that long. Implied warranties apply to retailers and manufacturers and may be broader than an express warranty.
The fact that parts are no longer available for a product with a valid warranty does not relieve the company's responsibility to fulfill the terms. IF they give a 3 year warranty on the outside of the box. ... then on the inside after you purchase it say somehting diffrent you should take it back.
IF anything is diffrent then here it was usually an accepted warranty you waved rights to laws with at purchase.for example non-transferable warranty etc.
Not a lawyer.. btw. Just read alot online.
