In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, less the cost of sending the item to you. You will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. We recommend that all items are returned via a recorded delivery method, as we will not be liable for any damage or loss whilst in transit back to us

We will usually process your elected repair, replacement or refund as soon as possible and, usually, within 30 days of the day you confirm whether you opt for repair, replacement or refund for the defective Product. If you elect a refund of a Product returned by you because of a defect it will be refunded as per our refunds policy. If you elect a repair or replacement of a defective Product we will not charge you for redelivery of the repaired or replaced Product. 
   9.1.3 Any repair work we carry out is non refundable once protective plastic coverings have been removed, please ensure you are 100% satisfied before removing any temporary protective film from parts fitted.

   9.2 Refunds of any money received from you will be made using the same payment method originally used by you to pay for your purchase
   9.3 Deposits are strictly non refundable under any circumstances

10. Our liability

   10.1 We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through our site is of satisfactory quality and reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied. This warranty does not apply to any defect in the Product arising from fair wear and tear, liquid ingress, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, if you use the Product in a way that we do not recommend, your failure to follow instructions, or any alterations or repair you carry out without our prior written approval.
   10.2 You accept that any Products purchased which are listed as ex-demo products or used stock (meaning they may have slight cosmetic defects, be a factory refurbished item or may have previously been sent out and sent back as an unwanted item) have a maximum warranty of 90 days
   10.3 You accept that any repairs we carry out will carry a maximum warranty of 90 days and we only warrant parts we replace not the whole device. Please confirm the exact warranty period with us if there is any confusion over this point. You also accept that should a fault arise which requires a part to be returned to supplier there will be a waiting time associated with this.
     10.3.1 Parts may have to be returned to our supplier for test if faults cannot be replicated, the part was special ordered and not a stock item or if the part is not in resaleable condition (scratches etc)
   10.4 You accept that we will not warranty any repairs if we are unable to test the device due to there being any password, passcode or other lock which prevents us from carrying out full tests. Please ensure passwords/passcodes are removed or supplied with the device when sent to us
   10.5 You accept that for any repairs we carry out that we cannot guarantee a 100% identical match to what is originally on your device. Even within original parts there are possible variations due to different part manufacturer, batches and calibration. Apple for example does not make any of the parts used in its devices but subcontracts out to other manufacturers such as Foxconn, Samsung, LG, Sharp to name a few. 
   10.6 Our liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaching this agreement is strictly limited to the purchase price of the Product you purchased.

    10.7.5 for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude, or attempt to exclude, our liability.
   10.8 We are not responsible for any indirect or consequential losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage and even if such losses result from a deliberate breach of this Contract by us that would entitle you to terminate the Contract between us, including but not limited to:

    10.8.2 loss of business;
    10.8.3 loss of profits or contracts;
    10.8.4 loss of anticipated savings;
    10.8.5 loss of data;
    10.8.6 loss of any software loaded on your device
    10.8.7 waste of management or office time however arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, even if foreseeable, provided that this clause 10.7 shall not prevent claims for loss of or damage to your tangible property that fall within the terms of clause 10.1 or clause 10.2 or any other claims for direct financial loss that are not excluded by any of clauses 10.7.1 to 10.7.6 inclusive of this clause 10.8.
