​

12. WARRANTIES & SUPPORT

All new goods sold by us are covered by a warranty  required by applicable law. Used products (including refurbished, second-hand and ex-demo products) will have a warranty of 30 days, except where otherwise specified. Examine the specific product's warranty for details of what type of faults or breakdowns are covered. For any warranty claim, you must have your original invoice. Any extended warranty offered by a manufacturer beyond the 12 months does not form part of your contract with us, though we may handle it on the manufacturer's behalf. Do not attempt to repair, modify or open any product unless specifically advised by us to do so as this will invalidate the warranty. You need your proof of purchase (invoice) for all other support issues. The warranty runs from the original invoice date onwards. If a fault does develop or is found, this must be notified to us promptly. We endeavor to provide technical support and online facilities to assist / enhance your usage of the products purchased from us, however such supply / provision is provided as a courtesy only and not included in your contract with us and may be withdrawn or refused at any time.
Missing parts, physical damage, modification, attempted repairs or any misuse (unless attributable to us), shall void the original warranty or thirty (30) day (unless another period is specified) repair warranty and any subsequent repair will be quoted for when the Item has been received from the Customer.
Repair warranty is for 90 days from date of invoice, if an item is re-repaired under warranty, the warranty period dose not restart. The warranty started on the date the original repair invoice was issued.
Unless DOA (Dead On Arrival) all warranty returns are strictly RTB (Return To Base) which means we do not cover the cost of collection, this is charged at £20+VAT. You can of course arrange to get the machine to us yourself at your own cost.
​

13. GOODS SUITABILITY 

It is your responsibility to ensure that the correct goods and correct model are ordered for your purposes. In some circumstances, the capability we specify/advertise of the product may not match that of the manufacturer's or other vendor's published specifications elsewhere, often due to international variations. This may also apply to specifications listed within any packaging and user guide/manuals supplied which may not apply to your particular product, either due to product development, varying models, specification change or local variations. We cannot guarantee that the product will continue to work correctly during your ownership if your original environment changes, for example if your location or other hardware is altered (by you or a third party supplier) such that it is no longer compatible with the product.
​

14. TELEPHONE 

Please be advised that for staff training purposes as well as your and our own security, we may record telephone calls to / from us and such recordings and emails may be supplied to law enforcement or anti-fraud agencies if required to do so .

All collections / deliveries on the U K mainland will be on a strict Monday to Friday basis using our own designated carriers. In the majority of cases, unless agreed otherwise, we dispatch using our preferred carrier for a standard delivery which is normally made the next working day after dispatch but no absolute guarantee can be given of this or any other delivery times. Where a premium service is requested and paid for (e.g. Saturday ) our liability extends only to a refund of the premium should the delivery not be attempted on time. "Working day" is considered to be Monday to Friday, excluding holidays or any other day on which we are closed. Deliveries may be made any time between 9 am and 5 pm. Our standard delivery service covers most parts of mainland UK. It is essential that someone will be at the delivery address to address the collection or to receive and sign for the goods.

16. SAME-DAY SERVICE

Our Same-Day Service is offered on repairs and services of PCs and Laptops that are sent to us and are delivered to iur workshop by 10am. We can not be held responsible for any delays in delivery to us, however we make every effort to carry out Our services and dispatch customers' computers the same day. Same-Day service is not possible on all repairs, as it is dependent on various factors, such as part component repair times, the availability of next-day delivery of our chosen courier service, communication between us and the Customer; i.e. when awaiting the Customer's decision on a preferred course of action or ongoing repairs on a previously undiagnosed fault, and also the intensity of our work backlog and our ability to prioritize jobs at the time in question.
