• What is NinerCare?

  • NinerCare is a 4-year extended warranty we offer on our Apple and Dell laptops.
  • This will cover accidental damage and one year of loss and theft coverage, with no additional service fees.
  • You may also purchase NinerCare for Dell and Apple laptops not originally bought from NinerTech.
    • There will be a price increase, and the laptop will need to be less than 1 year old and in brand new condition.
    • You will need to come in store with your laptop and proof of purchase receipt before you can add NinerCare.
