Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before sending your equipment to us. You should understand that by sending, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and our terms of use.

You should print and keep a copy of these terms and conditions and the terms of use for future reference.

How The Contract Is Formed Between You And Us

Our site is only intended for companies that are Great Britain and Northern Ireland, residents. At our complete discretion, we may accept or reject orders from people outside these territories.

Your contract with us will be formed when we receive your order for collection. It will incorporate these terms and conditions and our terms of use.

You must own all rights, title and interests in any devices or equipment that we collect from you. Ownership of the device(s) will pass to us when we receive them under these terms and conditions.

The contract between you and us is binding on you and us and our respective successors and assigns.

Without our prior written consent, you may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of a contract or any of your rights or obligations arising under it.

We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the contract term.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE HAPPY TO SEND THE DEVICE(S) TO US AND THAT IT IS WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS TO DO SO.

By placing an order for collection through our site, you warrant that:

  • You are authorised to act on behalf of the registered business; and
  • You are based in Great Britain or Northern Ireland; and
  • You are accessing our site from that country; and
  • You are legally capable of entering into a binding contract.

Data Risks and Precautions - Important

Please remember that by sending your device to us, you agree to release us from all and any claims, losses or damages with respect to the device, any data stored or contained therein or on any media used in conjunction with the device (whether in the form of personal details, emails, photos, games, songs or other data ("Data")). We accept no responsibility in relation to the security, protection, confidentiality or use of such data, and it is your responsibility to ensure so far as practicable that Data is removed from the device before you send it to us.

Although in our experience, the risk of Data left on your device being accessed by us or by any third party to whom we subsequently sell the device is very low, we draw to your attention the following points, which will help you decide whether to accept the risk of selling us a device which may contain accessible Data.

If your device is functional, we strongly advise that you delete all personal data from the device before sending it to us.

Please note it may not be possible to delete Data directly from a non-functioning device. If you send us a non-functioning device, you are therefore accepting the risk that it may still contain Data which may be accessible to any person who repairs the phone. This may include third parties to whom we have sold the device for spare parts.

Please note that while (as stated above) we do not accept any liability in respect of the security, protection, confidentiality or use of Data included on any device, as a matter of practice, we do not transfer any device to any third party except on terms which require them to wipe that Data.

Postage & Packaging

We have various posting and collection options.

All devices must be packaged in accordance with our packaging instructions to ensure safe and successful delivery to us.

As we are not the legal owner of the goods at the time you sent the device(s) to us, our ability to make claims on your behalf may be impacted as a result.

We do not accept responsibility for loss of goods from third-party providers but will assist you (in the rare cases where this is required) where we are able.

Payments

If we offer a payment, this will be an option of bank transfer or gift e-card.

When we receive your items, we will check that it meets our terms and conditions. Providing it does, we will make payment to you, by bank transfer or gift e-card on the next working day of receipt (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays).

Bank Transfer payments

Bank Transfer payments can only be made to the account details given when placing the online order. We cannot, under any circumstances, recall or reissue bank transfer payments once they have been made.

Gift e-card payments

Gift e-card payments can only be made to the account details given when placing the online order. We cannot, under any circumstances, recall or reissue gift e-card payments once they have been made. In addition to this, a customer cannot swap payment methods from a gift e-card to a  bank transfer. Once the expiry date on the gift e-card has expired, we cannot reissue it.

Events Outside Of Our Control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform or delay in the performance of, any of our obligations under a contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control or due to our compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.
