Terms and Conditions for Repairs
1. Assessment & Repair Process
- All items sent for repair will be thoroughly inspected to diagnose the issue. This initial assessment may be free or subject to a diagnostic fee, depending on the service provider’s policy.
- Some repairs may require additional troubleshooting or specialized diagnostics, which could extend the estimated turnaround time.
- If the repair is deemed unfeasible or beyond economical repair, customers will be informed and offered alternatives, such as replacement options or partial refunds where applicable.
2. Repair Approval & Payment
- Before any work begins, a detailed quote will be provided outlining the estimated repair costs and labor fees.
- Customers must approve the quote in writing or via digital confirmation before repairs commence.
- Payment terms will be outlined in the repair agreement, with full payment or a deposit required before the repair starts. Some services may offer flexible payment options or installment plans.
- Additional costs incurred due to unforeseen issues discovered during the repair process will be communicated to the customer before proceeding.
3. Warranty & Liability
- Repairs are covered under a limited warranty, which typically applies to workmanship and replaced parts. The duration of the warranty varies depending on the type of repair and components used.
- The warranty does not cover damage due to misuse, accidental damage, exposure to liquid, electrical surges, or issues unrelated to the original repair.
- If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, the repair service may offer a free or discounted follow-up repair, subject to review.
- Liability for repairs is limited to the actual work performed. The service provider is not responsible for further damages or malfunctions arising from unrelated issues.
4. Data & Privacy
- Customers must back up their data before sending an item for repair, as repair processes may involve formatting, component replacements, or software updates that could result in data loss.
- The repair service is not responsible for any data loss during or after the repair process.
- If data recovery services are required, they may be offered separately and will incur additional charges.
- Any personal information provided by customers will be handled securely and in accordance with relevant data protection laws.
5. Parts & Availability
- Repairs may involve replacing components with either original manufacturer parts or third-party alternatives, depending on availability and cost. Customers will be informed about the options before proceeding.
- If parts are unavailable or on backorder, customers will receive updates about expected delays and possible alternatives.
- In some cases, refurbished or second-hand parts may be offered as a cost-effective alternative, with prior customer approval.
6. Collection & Unclaimed Repairs
- Once the repair is completed, customers must collect their item within a specified timeframe, which will be communicated upon repair completion.
- Items not collected within the stated period may incur storage fees or, after an extended period, be considered abandoned and disposed of in accordance with company policy.
- If delivery or shipping options are available, customers may request them at an additional cost.
7. Limitations & Exclusions
- Some repairs may be beyond technical feasibility, excessively costly, or otherwise impractical. Customers will be notified if their item falls under this category.
- Certain issues, such as severe liquid damage or motherboard failures, may have limited repair success rates. If a repair attempt does not resolve the issue, alternative solutions will be proposed.
- The service provider is not responsible for issues unrelated to the original repair, such as pre-existing defects, wear and tear, or future malfunctions.
