may also apply.

The 7 day satisfaction or return policy only applies to new retail products and does not apply to custom laptop or PC system builds, special customer parts orders or refurbished laptops/PC systems, we sell and supply.

We regret for custom laptop or PC system build orders, a re-stocking charge of 15% of the total order value is mandatory and will be applied before any refund is made, in case of customer cancellation of order before delivery is made.

This is due to the specialist nature of the custom PC or laptop product as its a non-retail product and the fact the item has been specifically assembled for the customers own individual order.

Custom PC or Laptop orders are not including in our 7 day satisfaction or refund guarantee, as these are classed as non-retail products and the fact they have been specifically custom built for the customer. Although we will always try our very best to resolve any customer issues in a fair and concise manner. If the product is deemed to be faulty then of course we will replace or repair it within the stated warranty period.

For special customer orders where a product/upgrade/component/part/accessory, etc has been specially ordered and has to be specifically shipped in, to complete the customers order -
a refund cannot be made, if the customer decides to cancel the order before delivery is made or on delivery receipt of the item decide to return the product, as we regret, we cannot ourselves send any special order items back to our own suppliers here and overseas. If the specially ordered product is deemed to be faulty, we will of course will replace it.

k) Although we try our very best to make sure exisiting customers hardware/software is compatible with the systems/software/hardware/laptops we supply , its legally the responsibility of the buyer to make sure for certain that there own specific software/hardware set-up is 100% compatible with the systems/laptops we supply to them. We cannot be held responsible for any incompatibility issues after purchase. Any specific queries can be raised before submitting any order though and we will always help customers to gain a satisfactory outcome.

l) We do not warranty the battery on any refurbished laptop we sell in any way. This is due to the fact the battery is classed as a consumable in a refurbished laptop.

m) Where a warranty is deemed as VOID or INVALID, under our warranty period due to product mis-use, damage, visable damage or unauthorised attempted repair and signs of product being tampered with or attempted repair prior to sending the item back to us, an admin charge of £25 + return shipping cost + VAT will be liable. The Customer MUST not attempt to repair the item or have a third party (even if its a computer repair shop) attempt or diagnose to repair the fault, as this will legally invalidate our warranty. If this is the case we may offer the customer a repair at their own cost but this is only offered on a discretion basis. When a product fault is discovered by the customer, we must be notified immediately and no-one else MUST attempt to repair/diagnose the fault, as this will also invalidate our warranty.

Customers must also replace any consumable items with the direct genuine manufacturer's replacement and not any other third party/clone manufactured product, as this may lead to damage to their product and thus invalidating
our own warranty.
