SC Builds
Terms of Sale
Effective date: June 25, 2026
These Terms of Sale ("Terms") govern your purchase of any product from SC Builds ("SC Builds," "we," "us"). By placing an order and checking the agreement box at checkout, you agree to these Terms.
1. What you're buying
SC Builds sells assembled desktop computers. Each build is professionally assembled, cleaned, cable-managed, and stress-tested before shipping. Our builds may contain used, refurbished, or open-box components. This is disclosed intentionally — it's part of how we deliver tested quality at fair prices. Every component is verified working and stress-tested under load before a machine ships. The specifications listed on each build's page describe what that machine contains.
2. Performance figures
Any frame-rate or benchmark numbers shown ("avg FPS," etc.) are measured results from our own testing on specific titles and settings, provided as a good-faith guide. Real-world performance varies by game, settings, resolution, drivers, and configuration. These figures are estimates, not guarantees of the performance you will see in every title.
3. Pricing & payment
Prices are in U.S. dollars. Payment is processed securely via Stripe; we never see or store your full card details. Your order is confirmed once payment is authorized. We reserve the right to cancel and fully refund any order in the rare case of a pricing error or a build selling out before your order is processed.
4. Shipping
We ship anywhere in the United States. Machines are professionally packed and shipped fully insured for their purchase value. Typical transit time is 5–7 business days after the build ships. Title and risk of loss pass to you on delivery. If your shipment arrives damaged, see Section 5 — that's covered.
5. Dead-on-arrival & shipping damage
If your machine arrives non-functional or physically damaged in transit, you're covered. Notify us within 5 days of delivery with photos and/or video of the issue and the packaging. We will, at our discretion, repair, replace, or fully refund the machine, and we cover return shipping for confirmed DOA or transit-damage claims. Please keep all original packaging until any claim is resolved, as it's required for carrier insurance.
6. Limited warranty (30 days)
Beyond DOA, every SC Builds machine carries a 30-day limited warranty from the date of delivery, covering component or workmanship defects.
- Coverage: If a component fails due to a defect within 30 days, we will, at our sole option, repair or replace the affected part or the machine. Repair or replacement is the exclusive remedy under this warranty; a cash refund is not guaranteed for in-warranty failures.
- Proof & inspection: You must contact us with a description and photos/video of the issue. We may require the machine be returned to us for inspection before we repair or replace. If inspection shows no covered defect, you are responsible for return shipping both ways.
- What’s NOT covered: physical damage, liquid damage, drops, electrical surges, misuse, overclocking, or any damage caused by you opening the machine, removing, or swapping components. Normal wear and software issues are not covered.
- Tamper: Opening the case to modify, remove, or replace components voids this warranty.
- Non-transferable: This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and does not transfer if the machine is resold or given away.
This limited warranty is in addition to any remaining manufacturer warranties on individual new components, which you may pursue directly with the manufacturer where applicable.
7. Returns
All sales are final except for defects (DOA, transit damage, or in-warranty defects as described in Sections 5–6). We do not accept change-of-mind or buyer's-remorse returns. Please confirm the specs, price, and that the build suits your needs before ordering — reach out with any questions first and we're happy to help.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SC Builds' total liability for any claim arising from your purchase is limited to the amount you paid for the product. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost data, lost profits, or downtime. Back up your data — we are not responsible for any data loss.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in New York.
