AGREEMENT FOR REPAIR
AGREEMENT FOR REPAIR 1.1 The terms set out in these Conditions of Repair (“Agreement”) shall apply to the service (“Service”) we provide to repair your smartphone, tablet, computer and/or any accessories (“Device”) on the service check-in form. 1.2 Reference to “us”, “we” and “our” refer to GET and references to “you” and “your” are references to you (“Customer”), the person addressed on this form.
ALL REPAIRS (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) 2.1 This Agreement shall commence from the date you sign the service check-in form and shall continue until we have repaired or otherwise returned your Device, whichever is sooner, and received any payment due from you.
2.2 We shall make reasonable efforts to repair your Device subject to the availability of any parts required and/or the terms of any relevant guarantee or warranty. We shall perform the Service using our utmost care and skill.
2.3 We shall use original/or refurbished and high-quality compatible parts for the repairs of Apple Devices.
2.4 We shall require the passcode of your Device in order to test the Device before and after the Service. Should you prefer to keep this information private, we can still proceed with an appointment, but will not be able to perform a full functional check on the Device until you return to the store, which can delay the provision of the Service if any adjustments need to be made.
2.5 Any time estimate for completion of the service, which may be given to you, is an estimate only and does not form any obligation under the terms of this Agreement. We will aim to return your Device as soon as reasonably possible; however, any Board Level (Level 3) repairs (i.e., repairs to the logic board of the Device) may take at least 5 working days to be completed.
2.6 We shall notify you when the Device has been repaired and is available for collection. Any hardware left for more than 6 weeks will be scrapped. GET would not be liable for anything left beyond this time period.
2.7 If we are unable to complete the Service for any reason, or the Service will incur further costs payable by you beyond that initially estimated by us, we will notify you immediately via telephone and/or email. If no fault is found on your Device or you do not accept our revised estimate, we will return your Device to you unrepaired, and we reserve the right to charge you an inspection fee in accordance with our standard charges. We also reserve the right to cancel the repair at any time.
2.8 All choices made in relation to personalisation of the Device are final, and any change of mind may result in additional costs.
2.9 The cost of repair will be calculated where possible in accordance with our standard charges as published from time to time.
2.10 We shall be entitled to keep your Device until all charges payable have been paid. We may also charge an additional fee for storage of your Device.
2.11 Use of our repair Service will void your manufacturer’s warranty. If you would like to avoid this, then please take your Device directly to the manufacturer. Your manufacturer will not cover any accidental damage.
2.12 GET may install warranty seals following the repair. Any tampering of the seals will void GET warranty.
2.13 Our out-of-warranty/chargeable smartphone, tablet, and computer repairs are guaranteed for 3 months from the date the Device is ready for collection. If the Device develops an additional fault unrelated to the original repair, the repair warranty contained in this paragraph will not apply. The warranty includes the repaired/replaced part(s) only and does not include further accidental damage to repaired parts.
2.14 We do not accept responsibility for any progression in damage where your Device has been repaired elsewhere prior to your repair at GET. Should any issues become evident once the Device is opened, we will let you know when you pick up the device.
2.15 We do not accept responsibility for any progression in damage for Devices that have been damaged by liquid. Opening the Device could set off further damage and, in some cases, such may be very serious and irreparable.
2.16 We ask our Customers to monitor their Device post-liquid damage repair, as unknown issues can arise soon after treatment for liquid damage, which are beyond our control.
2.17 We shall offer a 1-month warranty for liquid damage repairs. Should your Device display any more issues relating to the liquid damage during this period, we will re-assess and re-quote for the work needed. We will also offer a full refund of all monies paid by you after removing our parts with respect to repairs carried out on your Device, excluding the service fee, should you wish to take this option.
2.18 Any waterproof Devices will no longer be waterproof following the repair.
2.19 No Liability for damage to the exterior of the device during device disassembly or reassembly.
LIABILITY 3.1 Our entire liability in respect of any single cause of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (whether for breach of contract, tort, including negligence, statute or otherwise at all) shall be limited, to the extent that the cause of action related to our supply of the Services, at our exclusive option to: (a) supplying the Services again; (b) payment of the cost of having the Services supplied again; or (c) repaying you any amount that you have paid in respect of the Services.
3.2 If, through our negligence or wilful misconduct, we damage the Device beyond economical repair, our liability will be limited to the cost of providing a replacement with a product that is the same as or similar to the Device. In this instance, we shall provide the replacement within 5 days of the Device becoming irreparable, and we will retain the original Device as part exchange for the replacement.
3.3 Any data or information that you may have stored on the Device shall remain your sole responsibility, and we accept no liability for loss or corruption of such data however caused, and we therefore highly recommend that you back up your Device onto an external drive prior to commissioning our Service. It is your responsibility to keep a record of any such data.
3.4 Nothing in this clause 3 shall apply so as to limit or exclude our liability for: (a) death or personal injury resulting from our negligence; (b) breach of any terms implied by statute; (c) any claim arising under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or (d) fraudulent misrepresentation.
3.5 In no circumstance shall we be liable to you for any indirect, special, or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any loss of business, revenue, profits, anticipated savings, goodwill, or any other indirect or consequential loss or damage of whatsoever nature howsoever arising.
3.6 We shall not be liable for any claim arising under this Agreement unless you give us written notice of the claim within three months of becoming aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim or, if earlier, three months from the time you ought reasonably to have become aware of such circumstances.
3.7 If you use our “Central Workshop repair service,” be aware we will be working on the component level of your logic board; therefore, we can’t guarantee a fix on the device. Due to the nature of the repair, there is always a possibility that the damage may worsen to the stage where the device is BER (beyond economical repair). In these circumstances, we will refund all payments for this repair. We offer a one-month warranty on Central Workshop repairs on work carried out.
DATA PROTECTION 4.1 We ask for your name and address and other details so that we can notify you when your Device has been repaired and provide you with an efficient after-sales service. We may also send you text messages and/or emails from time to time to alert you to new services and promotions. By signing the T&C and using these Services you consent to our use of your personal information as described.
GENERAL 5.1 We shall not be liable to you for any delay in our failure of performance of our obligations under this Agreement arising from any reason beyond our reasonable control.
5.2 Our failure to exercise or enforce our rights or the giving of any forbearance, delay, or indulgence, will not be construed as a waiver of such rights under this Agreement or otherwise.
5.3 This Agreement sets out the entire agreement and understanding between you and us in connection with its subject matter.
5.4 This Agreement may not be amended, modified, varied, or supplemented except in writing signed by or on behalf of you and us.
5.5 If any part of this Agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, it will be severed from the rest of the Agreement so that it is effective to the extent that it shall not affect the validity of the balance of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms.
5.6 Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on any third party benefits under the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Thirds Parties) Act 1999.
5.7 This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
SUMMARY POINTS
Use of our repair service will void your manufacturer’s warranty.
Any data or information that you may have stored on the Device shall remain your sole responsibility and we accept no liability for loss or corruption of such data however caused, and we therefore highly recommend that you back up your Device onto an external drive prior to your repair.
We do not take responsibility for any progression in damage for Devices that have been damaged by liquid. Although unlikely, opening the Device could set off further damage and in some cases may be very serious and irreparable.
We shall offer a 1-month warranty for liquid damage repairs. Should your Device display any more issues relating to the liquid damage during this period, we will re-assess and re-quote for the work needed. We will also offer a full refund, excluding the £20 up-front cost, should you wish to take this option.
We do not take responsibility for any progression in damage where your Device has been repaired elsewhere prior to your repair at GET. Should any issues become evident once the device is opened, we will let you know on arrival. [Examples of this may include missing screens and torn flex cables.]
At all times we will do our utmost to deliver on the quoted turnaround time, but in some instances, for reasons out of our control, this cannot always be guaranteed. Our quoted repair times start when the technician begins the repair, not when you enter the premises.
If you use our Central Workshop repair service, please make sure you read 3.7 above.
Our warranty is for 3 months for phones and laptops; our warranty does not include Accidental Damage or Liquid Damage. If your phone is repaired by a 3rd party after our service, your warranty with GET will be voided.
If we are unable to power on your device or access your device due to the fact that it has a damaged touch screen, we will be unable to fully test the functionality of your device during check-in. In these cases, GET bears no responsibility for any issues that may become evident during the repair. Should any issues become evident, we will let you know.
Unlocking handsets: No refunds will be given on any handset found to be IMEI blocked by the provider. It is the customer’s responsibility to find out this information prior to booking the handset in for unlocking. iPhone unlocking time may vary depending on the carrier.
