Implications on warranty after unlocking bootloader

AreTea

Hi,
I recently bought a brand new ASUS ZenFone 6, one of the main reasons I bought it is because I wanted to install custom ROMs on it.
However in order to do that I would have to unlock the bootloader (using the official tool), which will void my warranty if I understood the T&C correctly. I am worried that I might encounter an hardware issue, would I still be covered for servicing hardware issues in this case?
Thank you for your responses in advance.

In this case ASUS may and will void your warranty. You're out of luck.

@ColorSage I understand, but I would like to get further information about Out-of-Warranty service. I want to know for example, if my motorized camera stopped working, could I get it fixed for a price?

Any manufacturer should provide that kind of support, however ASUS seemed to struggle with getting their own parts for Zenfone 6 in the past. It'll be best if someone from ASUS will confirm.

Thank you for the clarification, I was not sure if mobile manufacturers provide that kind of support.

I'll wait for the same 🙂

Isn't the warranty on the hardware? How does altering the software affect the hardware?
