5.1 Selling:
Please note the offer to buy your tech item is solely for the device, and we do not pay extra for any accessories. You are more than welcome to include any accessories such as cases, screen protectors, chargers, etc., but we will recycle them during the inspection process.
After your Tech items arrive at our warehouse, they will go through our Quality Assessment Process. During this process, our quality control team checks that your items matches the description provided.
Each Tech item you sell should accurately reflect the details you provide to us when getting an instant, including but not limited to the make, model, size, and condition.
Tech items will automatically fail our Quality Assessment if they do NOT reflect the description provided on our website, either in terms of make, model, size, or condition. Your items will also fail if you do not clearly display the label provided in your Welcome Pack on the outside of the package in which the item is sent.
Our Quality Assessment is based upon the Condition Specification presented to you on the website when you describe the condition of your item during the valuation process.
The description you provide of your Tech directly influences the price we offer for it. As a result, if we determine that your item is in a different condition to that provided during valuation, we may offer a revised valuation in accordance with the process described below.
By placing an order and sending your Tech item, you understand and agree that our Valuation is final and we will not enter any discussions regarding the Valuation of the item before and after the Quality Assessment.
If you choose to accept our revised valuation, the new price will be updated in the relevant order. You’ll be able to find this information in the ‘My Account’ section of our website. The revised Valuation will be the new price paid for your items.
The revised Valuation is the final price we will offer for the item in question.
If you decline our revised offer price, we will return your item to the address listed on your Swopsmart account free of charge (provided it is located within the U.S. or its territories or possessions).
If you do not respond to our revised valuation email, either by lack of response or failing to adhere to the ‘Decline’ process detailed above, we will automatically process payment for your Tech at the new offer price emailed to you. You understand and agree that Swopsmart is not liable whatsoever for any loss of any kind that may result from your failure to act within the Grace Period or not accepting or declining our revised valuation in the correct fashion.
In the event you do not respond to our revised valuation email, your item will not be returned and you will receive payment at the new value offered for your item.
We accept no responsibility for the accuracy of the details you provide. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the payment details you provide using our website or app are correct, complete and accurate.
5.2 Returns:
If you decline our revised offer priced, using the ‘Decline’ link provided in our email, we will return your item to you free of charge to the address listed on your Swopsmart account (provided such address is within the U.S. or its territories or possessions). Your item will be shipped on the first business day after the expiration of the Grace Period (day 15).
Please note that accessories such as OEM boxes, protective cases, screen protectors, sim card ejector tools, etc., are discarded during the inspection process and will not be returned.
It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the address listed on your Swopsmart account is correct. You understand and agree that we are not liable for any loss of any kind as a result of items being returned to the incorrect address as a result of your failure to provide your correct, up-to-date address details on your Swopsmart account.
if your item is not delivered on the agreed delivery date, you must notify us within 14 days. If you don’t notify us within 14 days, we will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from non-delivery.
When you notify us of non-delivery, we will provide you with a ‘Letter of Denial of Receipt’. You are required to complete this within 7 days. If you fail to submit the Letter of Denial of Receipt within 7 days, we will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from non-delivery.
We are entitled to make any investigations deemed necessary to confirm the validity of any claim, and will check with the relevant carrier to confirm that non-delivery has occurred.
If our carrier notifies us that a Package has been lost in shipping, you will not be required to submit a ‘Letter of Denial’ and we will investigate the issue. If we conclude that the Package cannot be located and shipped to you, we will contact you in writing to confirm your Package has been lost and issue payment for the lost item(s).
In the instance your item is lost in shipping; we accept no other valuation than our own for the items you claim for. We accept no liability for any other loss, damage or compensation resulting from the return of your item.
