9.1 All products are of satisfactory quality, fit for their purpose, correspond to description and will retain functionality for a period of 30 days from the delivery date unless specifically stated at time of purchase.

Synapptic will fulfill its legal obligations to repair &/or replace Products. These obligations are dependent upon proper use of Products & do not cover any parts of Products which have been modified or repaired without Synapptic’s prior written consent. Customers must allow Synapptic’s technical staff reasonable access to Products for the purpose of diagnosing problems and carrying out repairs. Such access may include remote support. If access is denied, then Synapptic has no liability under any warranty in respect of computer/phone hardware.

9.2 Synapptic’s obligations do not apply to the consumable components of consumable items (such as toner in printer cartridges) or if a defect is caused by an external cause such as fair wear & tear, software or hardware loaded onto or connected to Product by Customer where this software or hardware has not been supplied by Synapptic, an accident, hazard, humidity control, electrical stress or other environmental conditions not commonly found in a safe home or office environment.

9.6 Synapptic owns any Product or parts that are removed during repair. Synapptic may require Customer to return removed parts to Synapptic for reconditioning, analysis or for environmental reasons.

9.7 If Customer does not return removed parts Synapptic then may charge a fee of which Customer will be informed prior to charge. The fee will reflect the cost incurred by Synapptic in retrieving the part(s), &/or the cost of procuring another component to recondition &/or arising from failure to comply with environmental obligations as a result of the Customer’s failure to return the Product or part.

9.8 The charge referred to in 9.7 above will not apply to Consumers returning defective parts which have been replaced in accordance with statutory rights.

9.9 Before a Synapptic engineer begins any work, the Customer must ensure that they have backed up any records, information, files, operating software, data, or anything else on their computer or phone which could be affected. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that if anything is deleted from or corrupted within their computer/phone as a direct or indirect result of Synapptic providing the service, they have copies to replace them. Synapptic only undertakes work under this agreement on this basis. If data on the Customer’s computer/phone is affected as a direct result of Synapptic providing the service, Synapptic will attempt to restore this information to their computer/phone. Synapptic does not accept any other responsibility or liability for anything damaged, corrupted or lost from the Customer’s computer system which has not been backed up correctly

9.10 The Customer gives Synapptic permission to accept any software or hardware license (EULA or similar) on their behalf during setup and installation of any of the Products. This to include, but not be limited to, Google licenses and Android licenses. Where reasonable, options that give away rights or permissions or share data or personal or other information, will NOT be accepted. Our intention is to always ensure the Customer’s privacy is protected.

Additionally, where reasonable and necessary to maintain key features or functionality, it may be required to temporarily disable Play Protect from analysing Synapptic software. Please note that this will not affect Play Protect scanning Play Store apps. Rest assured, this measure is taken solely to enhance your experience with Synapptic products while safeguarding your privacy and device integrity.

Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the device owner/user to ensure that the privacy and security settings on their device are suitable and meet their individual needs. Customers should regularly review and adjust their settings to maintain the desired level of security and privacy.

Consumers:

9.11 Products sold will be suitable for general use in a domestic, non commercial, non research environment in a manner which is consistent with the specification, functionality & service standards described in the Product’s Description. Fitness for use in any other manner or environment must be explicitly and clearly agreed (preferably in writing) with Synapptic prior to purchase.

9.12 Synapptic will repair, or in the event that repair does not occur, replace Product which is defective within a reasonable period & with reasonable care & skill. This may only be varied to the extent reasonably agreed with the Consumer.

Business Users:

9.13 Business Users must satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the description for their needs. Synapptic does not warrant fitness for any particular purpose. Fitness for use in any particular manner or environment must be agreed in writing with Synapptic prior to purchase.

9.14 Business Users are not automatically entitled to repair or replacement other than as agreed by Synapptic. Synapptic shall have no liability or obligation for defects in Products or failure to remedy defects except as expressly provided under this Agreement.

All Users:

9.17 When returning Products to Synapptic, Customers must ensure that the goods are adequately packaged to prevent potential damage during transit. Customers are responsible for obtaining proof of collection from their chosen courier or postal service.

Couriers and postal services are not insured for the carriage of Products unless the Customer arranges appropriate insurance directly with the courier or service provider. Synapptic accepts no liability for any loss, damage, or other issues arising from the acts or omissions of couriers or postal services.

If Synapptic arranges for the collection of Products from the Customer, Synapptic does not accept liability for any loss, damage, or theft of the Products while in transit. Most courier companies do not provide coverage for such risks, and it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the Products are properly and securely packaged to minimise the risk of damage and to arrange appropriate insurance coverage for the Products, if necessary, prior to collection.

By using Synapptic’s courier collection service, Customers acknowledge and accept that the transportation of Products is undertaken at the Customer’s own risk and that Synapptic is not liable for any loss, damage, or theft occurring during transit.

Synapptic reserve the right to substitute phone and tablet models to ones with an equivalent or greater specification, at any time and without notice.

19. SUPPORT PLANS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES

20. SOFTWARE TRANSFERS

Customers with valid and in-date Software Updates or Support Plan may transfer the Synapptic Software from one device to another free of charge, providing the software is deactivated on the old device and the subsequent deactivation code communicated to Synapptic Ltd.

21. HARDWARE WARRANTY

By law, goods when sold must be of satisfactory quality, fit for the purpose and correspond to the published description at the date of delivery to the buyer and remain that way for a reasonable period afterwards, but that period may be no more than an hour or a day. Since the general law is uncertain and imprecise, Synapptic offers this Hardware Warranty to the customer, so as to avoid any uncertainty and offer peace of mind.

What does the Hardware Warranty cover?
The Hardware Warranty covers the repair, and if repair is not possible, replacement of any mobile phone, tablet or TV Box purchased from us, for 1 year from the date the customer has received their order for the Product under warranty. If a Product needs to be replaced, we will replace the product with the same or a similar product and re-install any software back onto the new replacement device, including transferring apps and data where possible. The Hardware Warranty lasts for 1 year from the date the customer received their order and this date is not affected or reset by repairs or replacements issued under the warranty. Replacement of phones, tablets or TV Boxes is limited to 2 replacements only within the period of the Hardware Warranty. Repairs under the warranty are unlimited.

These obligations are dependent upon proper use of the products and do not cover any parts of the products which have been modified or repaired without Synapptic’s prior written consent. The liability of Synapptic is limited to the cost of repair and/or replacement of the product under warranty.

Customers must allow Synapptic’s technical staff reasonable access to their mobile phone, tablet or TV Box for the purpose of diagnosing problems and carrying out repairs. Such access may include remote support. If access is denied, then Synapptic has no liability under the Hardware Warranty to repair or replace the hardware items listed above.

What does the Hardware Warranty not include?

The Hardware Warranty does not apply to:

  • Any product where the serial number has been removed or damaged
  • Any defects caused (howsoever) by misuse, neglect, and tampering or incorrect adjustment
  • If unauthorised persons have previously carried out any alterations and/or repairs
  • If a defect is caused by an external cause such as fair wear & tear, software or hardware loaded onto or connected to the product by the customer where this software or hardware has not been supplied by Synapptic, an accident, hazard, humidity control, severe weather conditions, electrical stress or other environmental conditions not commonly found in a safe home or office environment
  • Parts not critical to product function, including but not limited to charger-port covers and detachable phone backs
  • Third Party manufactured software or products
  • Any delivery charges for returning the products to us.

Please note: If your product is not covered under this Hardware Warranty, we may charge you delivery costs for returning the product back to you.

22. HARDWARE CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE

All Smartphones and Tablets purchased from Synapptic are brand new items. In order to pre-install the Synapptic software and configure the Android setting accordingly, we have to open each box. After configuring and installing the Synapptic Software the device is placed back in the original box and re-sealed with a Synapptic security sticker.

23. TV LICENSE
