If VIZIO Technical Support determines that a problem with a display unit may be within the terms and
conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty and that an on-site repair may be performed, the
customer will be provided with an on-site repair authorization number and on-site repair instructions. The
determination for performing the on-site repair may be dependent upon the manufacturing defect and is at
VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Proof of purchase is required to confirm the product is within the one-
year limited warranty period and meets the terms and conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty.
On-site repair service is requested through VIZIO's third-party service provider. After VIZIO provides the
customer with the on-site repair (OSR) authorization number, the third-party service provider will contact
the customer and will schedule the repair at the customer's location. The total approximate time for the
repair process, which includes the repair diagnosis, dispatching the technician, shipping the replacement
part(s), and arranging the appointment with the customer, is completed within approximately 3 to 5
business days, pending availability of these factors.
