What Is The Amazon Fire Stick Warranty?

The Amazon Fire TV Stick has a one-year warranty covering any material or workmanship defect at no additional cost. Fire Sticks can be returned to Amazon for repair, replacement, or reimbursement if the warranty claim is successful. The warranty covers the hardware and software of your Fire TV Stick and any accessories purchased with it.

The manufacturer will also repair or replace damaged HDMI cables, which are not covered by this warranty. The warranty does not cover damage caused by abuse, accident, misuse, or neglect. It also excludes any product modified or tampered with by unauthorized persons.
