Terms & Conditions for Computer & Laptop Services by Detect 2
Customer Responsability
Customers are obliged to tell Detect 2 of any damage to the computer or laptop prior to the Appointment being booked. If a collection is arranged the engineer may take photos of obvious marks and damage on the device before being taken away. This will also apply to deliveries of devices. Customers are also obliged to inform Detect 2 within 24 hours of any damage or problems that have occurred after the job has been completed for this to be investigated further.
Customers agree prior to any work consisting of diagnostic tests, repairs or services
offered by Detect 2 that you will make adequate backup of any data held on any hard
drive(s) device(s) Computers or laptops. Detect 2 will not be held liable under any
circumstances for any loss of data however small or large in size.
This condition
also applies after a repair, service of any desktop computer or portable Laptop,
once a repair or computer has been serviced it is the customers responsibility to
make sure that you adequately backup your data.
Detect 2 will not be liable if
you encounter any software issues, hardware failure or data loss after returning
your computer or laptop to you.
Customers are responsible for providing any recovery
discs or software with relevant authentic product licence codes from the manufacturer,
Detect 2 has the right to refuse services if it is believed that any software is
deemed to be counterfeit.
If no discs or product licence codes are provided then it
will be the customer’s responsibility to install these products, any software other
then windows operating systems will be charged for unless this is previously agreed
or comes part of a service provided by Detect 2.
Prices
Prices listed for services on this website can be subject to change at any time.
Detect 2 endeavour to retain it’s service costs as low as possible so customers continue
to receive great value for money.
Detect 2 upholds the right to refuse and honour
any typing errors for service prices listed on this website.
Prices for services listed
on the website will exclude any costs for software or hardware, these will be extra
and we aim to source software and hardware at cost price to the customer, the aim
is not to make profit on these items in order to keep prices as low as possible.
Depending
on location Detect 2 may charge customers a call out fee if on arrival there is no
problem with the computer or laptop and it works, this fee is to cover our time and
travel to you, the standard fee for this is £20 which will need to be paid on leaving
the customers property. The fee is at the engineers discretion.
If customers wish
to cancel an appointment for a repair service or work at customer’s homes then a
24 hour notice period must be given, this is preferred to be given by calling us
as we might not always be in a position to receive emails.
Detect 2 offer a collection
and delivery service to make life easier for our customers this service is within
a 10 mile radius of Colchester. Detect 2 will do call outs beyond this area but a
fee may be charged. This will always be made clear before appointment is arranged.
Customers
will be informed of any diagnostic tests that need to be undertaken away from your
home, diagnostic tests can take some time to complete and can be several hours. Customers
will not pay an hourly rate for this as the prices are at fixed rates and not by
the hour, it is not always possible to do these kind of tests in customers’ homes
and this is why we sometimes need to take a computer or laptop away.
If a diagnostic
test reveals that the computer has faulty hardware you will be advised of the total
cost including the cost of fixing the fault which is listed as a fixed rate repair
on the website and the cost of the parts needed.
If the customer decides on not paying
the quoted repair costs then we believe that this is the customers decision and not
that of Detect 2.
