Acer Device Care Programme 

Your Chromebook purchase includes the Acer Device Care Programme providing protection for accidental damage, theft and loss.

 Your Chromebook comes with accidental loss and damage protection associated with the Acer Device Care Programme.

Acer care is a safeguard for your Chromebook against accidental loss and damage. It includes priority customer support, multiple complete repair services, and replacement of your device where necessary. Acer also has provided a warranty with your device to repair or replace the device you have purchased if it has manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when dispatched from their warehouse.

 Acer Device Care Programme is not an insurance product, it is an incident repair service offering bundled with Acer Chromebooks devices for Manaiakalani Education Trust.
