Service & Repair Agreement

1.1 The terms set out here shall apply to the service we provide to repair your smartphone, tablet, computer, gaming console, TV and/or any accessories including smartphone, tablet, computer, gaming console, TV and/or any accessories (“Device”) on the service check-in form.

1.2 Reference to “us”, “we” and “our” refer to Mobile Store Online and references to “you” and “your” are references to you (“Customer), the person addressed on this form.

All repairs:

2.1 This Agreement shall commence from the date you sign the online 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 high quality compatible parts for the repairs of all 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 from store. If the device has not been collected it will be transferred to our central warehouse for storage. Any delivery from central warehouse will be chargeable. If necessary, we shall send a reminder and the device will be recycled if not collected by day 56. (what is recycled? I think this should be explained so people understand that it’s not the type of environmental recycling)

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.

2.8 The cost of repair will be calculated where possible in accordance with our standard charges as published from time to time.

2.9 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.

2.10 Use of our service may void your manufacturer’s warranty. If you would like to avoid this, then please take your Device directly to the manufacturer. Please note, your manufacturer’s warranty will not cover any accidental damage.

2.11 Mobile Store Online may install warranty seals following the repair. Any tampering of the seals will void the Mobile Store Online warranty.

2.12 Our products and repairs are covered by the warranty terms outlined in the table below:

Repair or Product Type Warranty Term

Screen and component replacement Lifetime Warranty
Battery replacement 12 month Warranty
Liquid Damage 1 month Warranty
Software Repair 1 month Warranty
Computer Repair 3 month Warranty
Smartphone Logic Board Repair 1 month Warranty
Refurbished Device 12 month Warranty (unless otherwise specified)
Accessories 12 month Warranty (unless otherwise specified)

2.13 The Warranty is linked to a specific device as identified by its unique IMEI or serial number and to a specific Customer as identified by the records on our system. It will cover the Customer for any re-occurrence of the original fault and for the part replaced / repaired only, however if additional faults arise, they will not be covered under the terms of this Warranty. Furthermore, the Warranty will not cover accidental damage, nor will the cover extend should the device change ownership.

2.14 We do not accept responsibility for any progression in damage where your Device has been repaired elsewhere prior to your repair at Mobile Store Online or any issues found in your Device (i.e. ‘Touch Disease’, ripped flex) which were not evident upon initial inspection. Should any issues become evident, once the Device is opened, we will contact you via telephone/email.

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 which in some cases 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 Should your Device display any further issues relating to the liquid damage during the Warranty period, we will re-assess and re-quote for the work needed. We will also offer a full refund for the amount paid by you with respect to repairs carried out to your Device, excluding the £20 up-front cost, should you wish to take this option.

2.18 Following repair, any water-proofing or resistance cannot be guaranteed.

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 your Device is damaged beyond economical repair as a direct result of a service or repair undertaken by Mobile Store Online, you are entitled to a fully functional refurbished device of equal value to your Device, based on its model and condition as received and with the original repair issue resolved. In order to receive a replacement device, full payment must have been received for the repair service and the relevant damaged device must be surrendered to Mobile Store Online.

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 or clouding service 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.

3.6 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. (so from the moment they detect the fault of service they have 3 months to report it or from the moment the repair is made they have 3 months to report the fault?)

3.7 If you use our “Advanced Repairs Workshop”, 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 1-month warranty on Advance Repairs Workshop repairs on work carried out.

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. If you do not wish to receive such correspondence, please tick this box:

Summary

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 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 Mobile Store Online. Should any issues become evident, once the device is opened, we will contact you immediately via telephone/email. [Examples of this may include missing screens and torn flex cables.]

At all times we will do our utmost to deliver on the quoted turn-around time, but in some incidences, for reasons out of our control, this cannot always be guaranteed. Our quoted repair times start when the technician begins the repair.

The warranty term included with your repair is detailed in 2.12 above. 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 or liquid damage to these parts. If your device is repaired by a 3rd party after our service, your warranty with Mobile Store Online will be voided
