Repair Time and Delivery

SPIM will make reasonable efforts to deliver repaired equipment within the estimated time of delivery, but does not guarantee that a repair will be completed within a specific period of time. SPIM shall not be liable for any failures or delay in service due to any cause beyond its control. SPIM reserves the right to refrain from providing the repairs or services ordered and instead refund customer’s payment at its sole discretion.

Replacement Parts

You recognize that SPIM is an independent, third party repair company not affiliated with any original manufacturer except HP and DELL. Like any repair provider outside the original manufacturer, SPIM does not always have access to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.

Responsibility to Pick Up Devices

Due to space limitations, SPIM requests that you pick up your equipment promptly.

If equipment is left with SPIM and is not picked up within 60 days after being notified by SPIM that your product has been serviced, SPIM will consider your equipment abandoned and may dispose of your equipment in accordance with applicable law. You agree to hold SPIM harmless for any damage or claim for the abandoned property (as stated in the signed checkin every customer receives before the repair process is initiated), which we may discard or recycle at our sole discretion 60 days from customer being notified that your product has been serviced.

Accessing Data on Customer Devices

As part of our required diagnostic testing, certain applications containing customer data (such as camera, dial pad and messaging applications), may need to be accessed to thoroughly test the device’s functionality. This process is essential to ensuring we have done our due diligence in repairing your device to the best of our ability. This information is never intentionally exposed in any way and will not be mishandled or sold to third party companies for any purpose. SPIM will never transfer or copy data on a customer’s device to any other equipment without customers express consent or unless the operation is required to complete the services requested by the customer.

Data Backup and Recovery Services

In the event of a repair, or any similar circumstances, that requires a device be restored to original settings SPIM will backup data to the best of our ability. If data becomes lost or corrupted during the repair process, though not responsible for the loss of data, SPIM employees will direct affected customers to a reputable data recovery company.

Data Loss

Customer agrees that prior to SPIM servicing of any customer equipment, it is customer’s responsibility to: (1) backup all data, software, information, or other files stored on customer’s computer disk drives, peripherals, MP3 player, DVD player, camcorder, digital camera or on any other electronic storage device; and (2) remove all videotapes, compact disks, floppy disks, laser disks, cassettes, DVDs, film, or other media from customer’s product, as applicable. Except as expressly provided for herein, SPIM shall not be liable under any circumstances for any loss, disclosure, alteration, or corruption of any data, software, information, files, videotapes, compact disks, floppy disks, laser disks, cassettes, DVDs, film, or other media.
