SECTION 1 - SELLING A DEVICE TO US
Your device - iPhone
Each iPhone sold by you should meet the following conditions:
1. The device must turn on and off.
2. The device must be fully functional and complete.
3. The battery must be included.
4. The device must not be crushed or liquid-damaged.
5. The device must be original and meet the manufacturer’s original specifications.
Grading the iPhones
No iPhone is ever the same so grading does vary from model to model, depending on the damage and condition.
To receive the full indicative value for your iPhone, it must power-up (turn on) and be in full working condition (meaning that all features must be in good working order) and must not have significant damage (although may have some mild cosmetic damage i.e. general minor wear and tear).
By way of example only, damage classed as significant includes broken or cracked LCD screens; camera function not working or camera damage; buttons missing from the mobile phone/device or other keypad damage; deep scratches or dents; snapped hinges; charger port not working; microphone damage; earpiece damage; cracked backs; missing parts; no power on; touch screen faults; cracked or damaged screens; or software which is faulty or defective. Mobile phones/devices must have batteries enclosed within the mobile phone/device casing; not be barred; PIN locked or water damaged; appear in our online guide; be of UK specification; and not be reported lost or stolen. The list is not exhaustive. When we inspect or test your mobile phone/device, we will not pay as much as the original, indicative value if we find that your iPhone does not comply with all these conditions.
If you have a PIN or Password on the iPhone, you should remove this before coming to see us.
Pricing
Prices offered are subject to change at any time without notice. iPhone values may change from day to day which means that if you check the value of your iPhone on any given day but do not accept the offer, you may be given a different value for the same iPhone at a later time. This does not affect any other provisions in these terms and conditions.
Any special offers on iPhone values are subject to particular terms which we may impose and may be varied or withdrawn at any time and without notice. The value given and payments are made in pounds sterling. Each iPhone is processed separately even if included in a multiple iPhone sales order.
iPhonefixed will have the final decision on all device values.
Testing for incorrect information
We test each iPhone for compliance with our terms and conditions. We also check that the iPhone is not red flagged (see below) according to CheckMEND details. Tests are carried out prior to and are the conditions for, payment. We may stipulate additional tests as we reasonably determine.
As iPhones can look similar, customers sometimes incorrectly identify them. If we find that the model you gave us is not as referred to, we will value it for the actual model it is.
We also test the device for the network it is locked to. In some cases, your device will receive a reduction if you have selected the incorrect network referred to us.
Testing for damage
We offer a value for a damaged iPhones but we are not obliged to do so nor purchase any damaged iPhone
If we determine your iPhone is damaged, we may, at our discretion, pay for the damaged iPhone. The value of the iPhone will take account of the damage and or faults.
In some cases, values will be zero if the iPhone is beyond economical repair or have multiple faults (e.g. water damage and cracked LCD screen).
A value will only be given once the iPhone has been tested or inspected. You can decide whether to continue with the revised value sale or whether to decline it.
We do not accept iPhones in pieces or parts.
Red Flagged mobile phones/devices
We will check the status of all iPhones received against the National CheckMEND database (using the unique IMEI number).
If your iPhone is found to have a red flag by CheckMEND, it must be quarantined for 28 days whilst its status is reviewed. The mobile phone/device will have a red flag if it has been registered as lost, stolen or barred/blocked on the CheckMEND database.
If you are advised that your iPhone has a red flag against it, you will need to contact CheckMEND in order to review the status of your device. The purpose of the quarantine period is to allow the rightful owner the opportunity to have the red flag removed in order that the device can be processed appropriately.
If we become aware of any issues you will be required to co-operate with the authorities and we reserve the right to withhold or cancel the payment.
‘Activation Locked’ or 'iCloud locked' devices
If we discover that the iPhone is Activation or iCloud locked and the owner is unable to remove these conditions, we will return the device, and the sale will not progress and our agreement will terminate.
Payments
When we receive your iPhone, we will check that it is complete, and that it meets our terms and conditions. Providing it does, we will process the payment.
Under no circumstances will payment be dispatched before we receive and process your iPhone.
Payment is in accordance with the method you select either cash sterling or BACS. Once the payment has been processed it is no longer changeable.
Payment processing depends on third parties which we do not control. For payment by BACS payments, a bank. We will not be liable for delay in your receipt of payment as a result of third party action or inaction.
