3. TURNAROUND TIME

3.1       We aim to complete the repair process within the time stated on our website, and most repairs will be completed within this period, but we cannot guarantee this time period due to unforeseen circumstances

3.2       Please note that all our advised timescales are estimates only.  If a device requires assessment to ascertain what the fault is, this will increase the total repair time.

3.3        If there are subsequent additional repairs to be made, then the time and payment may vary.

4. REPAIRS & GUARANTEE

• Any repairs made to customers equipment will be repaired at no extra cost should it fail with the same part failure within 60 days so long as the device has NOT BEEN OPENED BY THE CUSTOMER OR A THIRD PARTY. We have a process which will enable us to assess whether this has occurred. THIRD PARTY does include the original manufacturer of the item.
• In the case of a replacement part being issued under a guarantee claim, the replacement part will not have a new warranty applied to it.  The warranty will still be in place for the original repair.  For example, if the original repair was completed on 1^st January 2015, the 60 day warranty would expire on 2nd March 2015 – if a warranty claim was made on 1^st March 2015, an additional 60 days would not be provided, therefore your warranty for the replacement part would also end on the 2nd March 2015 as per the original repair.
• Guarantee excludes faults relating to physical or accidental damage to a customer’s device.  This includes any cracks to screens or damage to the LCD
• In the case of water damaged devices, because of the specific, unpredictable nature of the damages no guarantee or warranty will be provided following repair.
• If a customer does not provide their passcode or the device is blocked by other security, we are unable to check the device is fully functioning. We, therefore, we will not be able to provide a full guarantee.
• Guarantees do not cover loss or damage due to negligence, accidents, theft, flood, fire, earthquakes, electrical storms or any other act of God or any war related events.
• For any repairs where the part to be fitted is provided by the customer, the work done will be on a labour only basis, and will not carry any warranty or guarantee.  Any part defects are the responsibility of the customer.  Once the device is left for repair the part provided will be fitted regardless of quality.  If the part is found to be defective, the fitting charge will still apply and the option to have a part provided by Mobitech Sheffield will be offered if applicable.
• We do outsource work to a third party company where board level component repairs are required.  In these instances the work is covered by a 7 day warranty only. 
• The warranty on any repairs is not transferrable. For example if the device is sold following repair, the Mobitech Sheffield warranty will not transfer to the new owner.

5. RETURNS AND REFUNDS

• If a device is returned to us under guarantee please note that we reserve the right to refuse the guarantee return due to physical damage caused by the customer following the initial repair.
• Where the device requires an additional repair, and the customer chooses not to proceed, or it is too expensive to complete, no refund will be issued due to the original successful repair done.
• All diagnosis and water damage treatment fees are non-refundable.
• If you use the postal option and send a device back to us under the repair guarantee, the cost of the postage to send the unit to us will be covered by you. However we will return the unit to you free of charge if a problem is found. If the problem is not related to the original fault or no fault is found, return postage charges will apply as referred to in clause 2.1.  Only repairs which were originally purchased through the postal service will have return postage paid for by Mobitech Sheffield.  If you originally brought the item to us at our premises and choose to send the phone to us for a guarantee repair via post, we will require you to make payment for the return postage before we return it to you.
• All Returns under the Guarantee must be accompanied with the original receipt issued to you following the initial repair as this is your proof of repair and also your guarantee.  If the original receipt can not be provided you will not be entitled to ANY free of charge replacements or corrections. In the case that the original receipt cannot be provided, all repairs will be fully chargeable. Guarantees will only be honoured if the original receipt is issued.  Records of bank statements or other forms of payment proof will not be accepted under any circumstances, as this will not show the exact repair carried out.  Only the receipt issued will show a record of exactly what repair was carried out, and this is what we will base our 60 day guarantee on.
• All Devices which are repaired by Mobitech Sheffield are security marked internally to ensure that any device brought back to us under warranty allows us to establish that the item being presented has been previously repaired by us.
• Any devices returned under warranty that are subsequently found to be fraudulent claims will be subject to a £20 diagnosis fee.
• For Postal Repair Warranty Claims – Any claim must be registered in writing by e-mail or by telephone. The device must be sent back to Mobitech Sheffield as soon as possible but not later than 48 hours after you have noticed a fault, unless agreed with Mobitech Sheffield.  You must also make all reasonable attempts to ensure that the device does not suffer any further damage, If day to day use could cause further damage, then you should stop using the device immediately and send the device to Mobitech Sheffield, as damage caused by further use will not be covered by the warranty period, and the customer will be liable for all costs to repair the device.
• Customers are required to log a warranty claim with us, either by e-mail or telephone within 24 hours of noticing any faults, we will then require the phone to be returned to us within 48 hours to prevent any further damage.  If you do not return the device within 48 hours of noticing a fault then your warranty will become invalid. If you are unable to bring the device back for assessment within 48 hours, this must be agreed with a representative of Mobitech Sheffield.  Should an item become further damaged due to user error (examples of this are trying to fix the device yourself, taking to a 3^rd party repairer, continuing to use the device knowing this could cause further damage or trying to push the screen or buttons back in place if applicable before returning to us) will have their warranty void. 
• Once an unlocking service has been ordered and paid for, we are unable to offer any refunds or cancel these orders.  We will only refund the payment if the unlock is unsuccessful.  We use a third party supplier for our unlocking service, once we have submitted the order, payment is made on your behalf and is non refundable unless the unlock cannot be completed.

6. DISCLAIMER

• The Customer shall back up all data stored on the device to be repaired before submitting or returning the device for repair.
• Mobitech Sheffield does not accept any liability for data or software which is lost, corrupted, deleted or altered during repair. The Customer accepts full responsibility for Customer software and data and Mobitech Sheffield are not required to advise or remind customers of appropriate backup and other procedures. We will do our utmost to retain any data.
• Mobitech Sheffield does not accept responsibility for any further faults that occur during the repair. (i.e. Some units may have logic board damage and will power on. Once the unit is dismantled to replace a part e.g. cracked screen, the board can develop a fault and fail to power on). In the case of devices brought to us with Water Damage, the customer fully accepts that in cases where the device may be showing signs of working prior to repair that once the device is opened and parts removed this may cause the board to short circuit because of the corrosion that occurs in the hours after being exposed to liquid.  Mobitech Sheffield will not be held liable should this occur.
• Mobitech Sheffield have permission from the customer to replace assemblies or components with devices of similar, or better design and capability.
• Mobitech Sheffield have unconditional permission from the customer to carry out work on the equipment in need of repair.
• Mobitech Sheffield cannot be held responsible for issues which may occur after manufacturer software updates. We will ensure that all replacement parts work with the latest software available at the point of installation.  If subsequent software updates are released which cause the device to not function as expected, we will not accept any liability for this, and no refunds or exchanges will be granted.  Please note that your warranty does not apply when issues are caused by a 3^rd party software update for which Mobitech Sheffield have no control.
• Please be aware that with devices with finger print touch recognition and/or FACE ID recognition, in rare cases, the biometric recognition may not function after repair, unfortunately if this is the case, no liability will be accepted by Mobitech Sheffield.
• Devices repaired by Mobitech Sheffield are only covered for faulty workmanship on parts, and for parts that fail due to manufacturing defects. This guarantee does not cover failure from “fair wear and tear”.
• We will attempt to perform a pre-repair check of any device that is presented for repair. Please note, if we are unable to perform this check because pin numbers are not provided or if the device does not turn on or we are unable to access the device because the screen is not functioning correctly the customer agrees that Mobitech Sheffield will not be held liable for any further faults that develop or become apparent after we have completed any repairs.
• Please note that any device which is designed to be waterproof by the manufacturer will not be waterproof after a repair has been completed and as such any damage subsequently caused to the device from water/liquid after repair by Mobitech Sheffield will not be covered under the guarantee of work, and as a result Mobitech Sheffield will not be held liable for any damage caused following repair.
