You must check the parcel upon its arrival. If a parcel arrives damaged, your reservations must be written on the delivery note in the presence of the carrier.

Our cancellation procedure is simple – return unwanted goods, unused within 14 days for a full refund (from date of purchase).

16. Warranty
We offer a warranty from the date you make your purchase (please check your product to see the warranty on that device or accessory). We fully test each device when we receive stock and also prior to shipping. We urge you to fully test your device upon receiving it and if you find a fault, you must report this within the warranty period. If a fault is found, we may choose to either replace or repair the device (at our discretion). Any faults found outside the warranty period will not be covered either by a replacement device or warranty repair. Please note that should your device develop a fault after the first 3 months (from date of purchase) then we may ask you to contact the manufacturer directly as this is often quicker for customers.
- The Warranty will only cover internal faults and does not cover the following:
- Any damage caused by mistreatment or by dropping the product
- Any damage caused by attempting to repair
- Any damage caused by attempting to adapt the device by yourself or a third party
- Any damage caused by liquid
- Any physical damage such as breaks or cracks
- Any repairs undertaken by a third-party company or any damage caused by such repairs
- Any intentional or accidental damage
- Incorrect or improper use of accessories
- Faults or damage that may arise due to normal wear and tear – e.g. scratches to touchscreen, scuffs and marks
- Normal and acceptable battery life depletion
- Any handset that has been Jailbroken or rooted after sale
- Any Screen-burn that has developed over the time of ownership
If the device does have any of these issues, the warranty would then be considered to be void and we would no longer be able to accept a return and will be subject to additional repair costs or replacement device charges and return delivery charges. We will charge a minimum inspection fee of €15 plus VAT if a quote for repair work has been given and subsequently declined. In addition a charge of £9.99 will be made to have the item returned to a UK address. Extra shipping charges will apply if sending your device outside the UK. Any device received that has been sent back for a warranty repair or replacement and is subsequently found to have no fault will be subject to an additional fee of €20 plus VAT and to a charge to return the device to an Irish address of €10.
All batteries have a warranty of 3 months.
