Terms & Conditions
- I authorize P.L.Daniels (hereon referred to as 'PLD') and its affiliates to perform repair work on my electronic device. I understand that PLD or its affiliates are independent repair agents and not authorized service dealers or providers.
- I agree to release, indemnify, and hold PLD and its affiliates from liability for any claims or damages of any kind or description that may arise from any repair work performed on my electronic device
- I acknowledge the device I am handing in for repair is my device & not stolen property. I accept all responsiblity for the history of this device. If the device is found to be stolen, I accept that I may not receive it back.
- If a device requires detailed disassembly for a quote a minimum charge of $50 AUD will apply. This cost can be subtracted from the final cost of the repair, if you choose to go ahead. This amount is not refundable.
- Device Damage
- Shock and crush damaged devices: Microscopic fractures can occur that can cause issues with your device. In some cases when these fractures are present, and the mounting screws are removed, the fractures do not make connection when the device is reassembled. You agree that PLD is not liable if fractures have occurred inside your device, which causes your device not to function in some way, even if such things were functional prior to disassembly.
- Liquid damaged devices: The recovery time can vary depending on the device, and the extent of the damage. All parts that are replaced with new parts supplied by us, will be covered by the warranty period indicated on the final job sheet. This warranty period does not cover any main internals, or any parts that have not been replaced with new parts. Progressive damage can occur over time. PLD is not responsible if your device does not function in some way, or at all, after liquid damage recovery. Liquid damage recovery will take a minimum of 24 hours, but in some cases, can take over a week. This is device/situation specific, and cannot be predicted. In some cases, displacing liquid damage can cause the device not to function in some way (Sometimes, the liquid's impurities is the only thing holding a circuit together), in such cases, you agree that PLD is not liable.
- Virus / Infected devices: Removal can take a number of days. PLD is not liable if your device becomes infected with a virus after a virus removal or full clean-up. We cannot future proof your computer or stop others from using it. This is the case regardless of what antivirus software you use.
- DOA devices: 'Dead On Arrival'; No Picture, Flat Battery, Not turning on, or has a serious fault. The device cannot be fully tested until after the repair has been completed. PLD will not be liable if any function of the device does not work partially, or in whole. eg, if your device does not turn on upon arrival to our store, and after it is repaired, the sound does not work, the issue would NOT be warranty. The policy applies to anything unable to be fully tested at the time of the Service Booking (including things that could not be tested because the customer had not supplied passwords and/or has supplied incorrect details).
- Repair
- If parts need to be ordered the repair time can vary. We do not have control over postage delays that prevent a job from being completed. If anything should be lost in transit we will attempt to order it again at our discretion. Special order items may require a deposit. Deposits are not refundable.
- Repairs may use refurbished or second hand parts. Many parts required to repair logicboards are not available as new and need to be sourced from donor logicboards or purchased from 3rd parties
- Most types of glass are held in place by double sided adhesive. Should the glass/screen lift/detach in any way, please return it to us straight away. We will not cover warranty on a screen that is in some way broken, even if the break occurred after the screen started lifting. If the devices frame is warped/bent/twisted etc. We will do our very best to reshape the frame to get the glass/screen to sit flush. If the screen is not 100% flush because the frame is slightly or severely bent or twisted, you agree that this is not a warranty issue, and that replacing the frame of your device is the only way to get it 100% straight. PLD will not be held liable if your screen is lifting due to a bent frame
- I understand if I am having a part replaced inside my device, that if my screen or any glass/plastic components on or in my phone are damaged, that this will affect the strength of these parts & my device. These parts may damage further as a course of the repair and nececssary force applied by the technician. I do not hold PLD or its affiliates liable if these parts are further damaged then what they were when I handed the device over for repair because their structural integrity was already compromised and the force applied was neccessary in order to complete the repair that I requested.

In the event of any data loss and hardware or software failure I do not hold PLD or its affiliates responsible or liable for any consequences or losses arising from the loss of data.
