There are some manufacturers who require that certain of their software must be purchased
with the hardware on which it is to be used. In these situations, Newegg.ca customers
must purchase some type of product which falls under the general category of computer
hardware in order to purchase applicable software. Hardware is classified as any component
that will be used when assembling a computer system (a hard drive, motherboard, processor
and a floppy drive are all examples of merchandise that will qualify). To satisfy the
manufacturer's requirement, the customer merely has to purchase some sort of eligible
hardware as part of the order; the hardware purchased does not have to cost a specific
or minimum amount.
