To qualify for our No-Fix-No-Fee policy, the customer must allow Computermanic sufficient time and access to the computer/tablet to diagnose and fix PC/MAC problems (this includes return-to-base computer repair). If the customer does not allow sufficient time before a diagnosis can be made, they will be billed our standard labour fee £45. It is at the technician’s discretion whether or not a repair is possible. If the repair is deemed beyond economical repair then there will be no fee (other than a small return fee of £15 if return is required) We can also professionally dispose of said faulty equipment free of charge at your request ensuring safety to the environment of highly toxic electronic components that are commonly present within computer equipment.
If the customer decides not to go ahead with a repair and wishes the equipment to be returned, they will be charged a small diagnostic fee for diagnosing the problem and return fee of £15 to cover some of the cost of Computermanic’s time and fuel.
Maximum charge is the highest charge you will incur for labour on any repair, excluding parts and other services which are listed.
In order for Computermanic to remain in business, payments must be made promptly. If an amount remains delinquent 7 days after its issue date, an additional 15% penalty will be added for each week of delinquency. In case collection proves necessary, the client agrees to pay all fees incurred by that process. Please pay on time.
Payment must be paid in full for goods and services over the sum of £150 before being carried out, unless stated for specific services. Under £150 Businesses are granted 7 days to pay outstanding invoices. (in the case where goods or service are under £150) Residential customers are required to pay by Cash, Card or Transfer upon completion or on delivery. (We Also Can Not Accept Cheques).
All parts supplied by Computermanic are brand new, unless stated or requested by the Customer. Brand new parts come with a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty, unless stated otherwise, commencing from the date the item was purchased by Computermanic.
Laptop screen warranty is for 1 year from date of invoice covering manufacturing defects only, this warranty excludes any damage/mishandling caused by the user.

Equipment is only covered for faulty workmanship on parts, and for parts that fail due to manufacturing defects recognised by the component manufacturer. This warranty does not cover failure of equipment due to the system not being serviced adequately, or failure from “fair wear and tear”. This warranty does not cover repairs for the replacement of parts due to incompatibility. The warranty holder will be liable to pay for these repairs.
Damage to a system or components, supplied by Computermanic, caused by power surges or spikes, including and not limited to, mains power and telecommunications connections, or to other unspecified sources, voltage fluctuation, amperage fluctuation, rust or corrosion, are not covered under warranty.
Warranties do not cover loss or damage due to negligence, accidents, theft, flood, fire, earthquakes, electrical storms or any other act of God or any war related events.
Computermanic reserves the right to suspend or cancel warranties for failure to pay monies owing to Computermanic as a result of non-warranty work being carried out on a system at the request of the warranty holder.

If the same problem re-occurs within 3 months of the original repair (stated on the invoice) (software repairs do not include a warranty) , Computermanic will only charge for any additional parts that may be required. Excludes faults caused by software, virus and end user errors.
Any repair performed on an item under warranty whereby no fault can be found, or the fault is not covered under warranty (i.e. software, virus, end user error or other non-warranty cause herein stated) a ‘No Fault Found’ fee may be payable by the warranty holder at the usual standard rate.

A full refund

A buyer is only entitled to a full refund, within four weeks of purchase, if they have not ‘accepted’ the goods. Acceptance, in this context, occurs when:

the buyer informs the seller of their acceptance

the buyer uses the goods in a way that suggests that they own the goods – for instance, if they alter or customise them

the buyer keeps the goods for a reasonable time without informing the seller that they have rejected them.

A free repair, free replacement, cancellation or price reduction

If the buyer has accepted the goods, they will be limited to a free repair or a free replacement within six months of purchase. (They can also choose to have the goods repaired or replaced even if they have not accepted the goods.

A buyer can ask the seller to repair or replace the goods at their expense, which the seller can refuse to do if it is impossible or too expensive compared to alternative remedies.

The repair or replacement must be done within a reasonable time and without causing the buyer significant inconvenience. If this happens, the buyer will be entitled to:

a refund

a price reduction

a cancellation (‘rescission’) of the contract with a partial refund based on usage of the goods whilst in their possession.
