Terms and Conditions
Please note that we are not an Apple Store, nor are we an authorized Apple repair center. We specialize in repairing smartphones and tablets of all brands. If you are looking for Apple stores or Apple’s authorized repair centers, please visit the official Apple website. We strive to use the best-quality parts available. We do not provide original/genuine Apple parts unless they have been refurbished. In such cases, we always clearly describe them to prevent any misunderstanding.

Please read these terms and conditions governing the use of our website. Using our website indicates that you accept our terms and conditions. This does not affect your statutory rights. If you do not accept our terms and conditions below please stop using our service.

NOTE: All customers are required to use their order number as a reference in any communication with us.

Guarantee
Our guarantee covers the parts in which we replaced for 90 days. Any repairs made to customers equipment will be repaired at no extra cost should it fail with the same part failure within 90 days so long as the device is not opened by third party.

Guarantee excludes faults relating to physical, accidental or water damage to a customers device. If after repair the device is returned and has cosmetic damage i.e cracked screen, this needs to be reported the next working day at the latest, and sent to our repair centre as soon as possible, but no later than 5 working days.

In case of water damaged devices, because of the specific, unpredictable nature of the damages, 90 day warranty will be given only for the parts used to repair the fault not the device as a whole. We cannot predict future damage from water damage and any additional repairs needed will not be covered under warranty if they were not replaced when the device is first diagnosed.

If a customer does not provide their passcode or the device is blocked by other security (i.e. Apple blockage) we cannot check the device is fully functioning. Therefore we will not cover the return postage cost from customer to us and also the customer is obliged to pay return postage cost from us to his address.

When security seals get damaged by a customer, he/she looses any warranty for services and spare parts used.
Customers are responsible for any damages to a device sent to us resulting from inadequate packaging or from the customers own neglect.

Refunds
Refunds will be issued for all work diagnosed by us and/or customer self diagnosed orders only if our company has not successfully completed this repair. Please note that a diagnosis fee applies and is not refundable.

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.

DFU/ Restore fee is non-refundable as it’s an irreversible process.

Please be advised that refunds will be issued within a week period and are subject to a fee equivalent to the charge levied by the respective card company, PayPal, Apple Pay, or other financial institutions.

Returns
Old parts left after the repair is completed will not be returned to the customer unless the customer asks through email before we start the work

If a device is returned to us under warranty please note that we reserve the right to refuse the warranty return due to physical damage caused by the customer during the repair.

Cancellation policy
If you want to cancel a repair, you need to cancel it no later than 2 days after you place an order as we aim to commence all standard repairs on the same day we receive your device, or the next working day. You have to notify us via telephone (01536 628 201) as well as email office@iphonespecialist.co.uk. Please use your order number as a reference.

Please note that a £10 administration and P&P fee applies if you cancel your order once we receive your device.

Orders cannot be cancelled once we have commenced the repair. Where a device has not been delivered to us for repair and the customer has not contacted us in writing within 30 days of placing the order this order cannot be cancelled.

Repair process
We aim to complete the repair process within the time stated on our website, and many of these will be done within this period, but we cannot guarantee this time period due to unforseen circumstances.

Ipod Classics (active from 1.08.2015)

Classic iPod repairs – Please note that as Apple are no longer producing iPod classic devices these devices are now deemed as vintage. This means that repair times are can in some cases become very delayed as obtaining full original parts is becoming more and more difficult as they are in high demand and low in quantity. We need our customers to know that we will try our best to get repairs done as quickly as possible but must warn all customers that it can take several weeks. If this is not fitting to you please do not order for these repairs.

Please note that after diagnosis if logic board or hard drive is required and the customer chooses to have this repair that there is no refund if the customer chooses to cancel this order as parts will have been ordered specifically for their device. This also applies to customers that order for hard drive or logic board repair themselves.

Please also be aware we do not return Apple product boxes or any other packaging.
