3. ESTIMATES & PAYMENT

​

We will provide you with an estimate of the costs of any repairs or services. The cost and availability of any parts required may require further investigation and a further estimate. We will not charge our labour costs if we are unable to provide a solution. Payment may be made by cash, Visa ®, Mastercard ®, Amex ®, Maestro ® or bank transfer and is due on completion of the work, unless we agree otherwise. Cheques are NOT accepted.

 

4. 90-DAY WARRANTY

​

If the same problem occurs within 90 days after we fix a fault, we will either;

• fix the problem at no extra charge, or;

• we will refund any money paid by you for the services we carried out, if we cannot fix the problem.

​

The 90-day warranty will not be valid if any failures or errors are caused by the subsequent incorrect use or maintenance of any item installed or configured by us.

 

5. DIAGNOSTICS CHARGE

​

We may be required to undertake diagnostics on your device to identify the issue/fault with your device. If we are successfully able to diagnose the fault, we will quote for the repair. If you choose to decline this quote after successful diagnosis of the fault you will be charged a one-off £20 fee for this service.

 

6. SERVICE VISIT REQUIREMENTS

​

We are not responsible for data and information on your computer or other hardware. We recommend that you take a back-up before handing over any equipment to us for repair.

​

If we carry out a service at your home, we will need the following:

​

• Someone, over the age of 18 years, present who has a basic knowledge of the problem and administrative level access rights to the relevant equipment, and;

• Access to the equipment being serviced and electric light and power, and;

• Valid, original and licensed versions of any software required, unless being supplied by us. Please note that we will not use, install or configure any unlicensed, copied or counterfeit software.

​

Equipment will be held for 28 days following completion unless agreed otherwise with us. Maztech UK reserve the right to destroy or sell the equipment to recover our costs after this period.

​

8. PASSWORD REMOVAL

​

We can remove user passwords from laptop and desktops under the following conditions:

​

We will not under any circumstances remove passwords (BIOS or User) from stolen, blacklisted, leased computers or where ownership cannot be verified.

​

We may be required to perform a serial number check to confirm the status of the laptop. If this is required, we charge a £5.00 fee for each computer that needs to be checked. We will inform you of this before the check is performed.

​

9. APPLE MACINTOSH REPAIRS

​

A compatible charger is required for the duration of the repair as many Apple model require different charger tips and voltages.
