  • Service Area: Coverage includes Cirencester, Swindon, Cheltenham, South Gloucester, and North/North-East Bristol.

  • Call-Out Fees: Onsite visits incur a flat call-out fee of £30, which includes the first 30 minutes of labor.

  • Payment Due Date: Full payment is strictly due upon completion of the service or upon collection of the repaired device.

​

3. Liability & Data Backup

  • Data Loss: The customer bears full and sole responsibility for backing up all software, data, and files prior to handing over any device or allowing onsite service. We accept no liability for lost, corrupted, or damaged data.

  • Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim, damage, or loss arising out of our services is strictly capped at the total amount paid by the customer for the specific repair or service job.

This warranty does not cover new faults, accidental damage, misuse, or liquid damage.
