If you need to reschedule within 15 business days of the start date of a class because of an unforeseeable event, you can reschedule with a processing fee of $175 ($300 for Embedded Linux or Device Driver classes).

Passing the certification exams will depend on your commitment. We encourage you to complete all assignments given during the bootcamp and spend additional time getting familiar with Linux on the laptop before appearing in the exam.

Return policy on items purchased:

Please return the item with a statement as to why the item has been returned (wrong item shipped, damaged item, etc.).

If the wrong item has been shipped, the correct item will be shipped to you as soon as the item is received back here.

If the item has been damaged, a substitute item will be shipped to you.

For permanent returns, a credit will be issued when the item is received back here for the amount that the item sold for MINUS THE SHIPPING COST. All opened boxed products returned for credit are subject to a 15% restocking fee. No returns or exchanges on opened software.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the item returns back to us. No refund will be made until the item is received.

Dead pixel policy: In line with industry standards LinuxCertified maintains a fair policy regarding dead/bad pixels. E.g. this is an excerpt from Apple's website:

"With the millions of subpixels on a display, it is quite possible to have a low number of faulty transistors on an LCD. Therefore, a certain number of subpixel anomalies is considered acceptable. Rejecting all but perfect LCD panels would significantly increase the retail price for products using LCD displays."

In general we assume a LCD to be acceptable as long as it has four or less bad pixels. Individual cases can certainly be reviewed, e.g. if all of these bad pixels are clustered right at the center of the screen.

For customers outside USA: Returns will be charged a $50 customs-handling fee.

Special note for customers buying laptops with Windows XP (e.g. dual boot configuration): If you need to return the laptop for any reason, we cannot take a return of Windows XP. Please keep the OS CD and the key sticker. This is because of the licensing constraints placed by Windows XP.

Linux Distribution: Unless specifically mentioned, all Linux laptops will ship with downloaded/copied CDs version of the Linux distribution.

Support: The support for laptops is limited to hardware and drivers of core hardware components. Although, in general, we do help out customers with Linux configuration issues, we will restrict the number of such incidents that we support. We only support drivers with default distribution kernels.

Repaired units may require re-loading of original factory software. It is recommended that customers back-up any important data before sending in unit for repair.

LinuxCertified reserves the right to replace any product with a comparable model in lieu of repairing the defective unit. This decision is solely at the discretion of LinuxCertified.

We ship repaired units using UPS or Fedex Ground. If expedited shipment is needed, customer will need to pay the difference in cost.

For customers outside USA: While LinuxCertified will pay for shipping charges for returning the reparied systems, you will be responsible for any customs or brokerage fees incurred in the process.
