Terms and Conditions

Before sending any item for service/repair, we strongly recommend that you read the below terms and conditions surrounding our service policy.

Repair Risks

Electronic repairs are unpredictable. Your device or PCB may be beyond repair or may be permanently damaged during repair and rendered useless. Circuit board components deteriorate over time and can fail without warning, especially on liquid damage devices where components can short circuit, oxidise, corrode and rust over time due latent faults.

NOTE: Some services performed by Oaktus Technologies may void your manufacturer’s warranty. By accepting service from us, you understand and agree that we are not held liable for voiding your device manufacturer’s warranty.

Repair/Service Costs

Repair and service costs are determined on a case-by-case basis following an evaluation of the equipment. Pricing may vary depending on the complexity of the fault, the type of device, and the time required for repair.

If a maintenance or service contract is already in place, costs will be calculated according to the terms agreed within the contract.

We encourage all customers to contact us directly to discuss their specific requirements and obtain a detailed quote before proceeding with any service or repair work.

Estimate and Repair Time

We pride ourselves on the speed of our repairs, however many of the factors that determine the length of your repair are beyond our control. As such, we will attempt to service your device as soon as possible in the order it was received.

Typically, estimates/quotes are informed via message or email within 2 to 4 working days, with repairs typically completed within 10 working days, subject to parts availability and device test requirements. We aim to keep you updated throughout the repair process whenever feasible.

Data Recovery Costs

For all SSDs and USB drives, data recovery incurs an initial cost of £100, plus additional labour hours as necessary. We will provide an estimate before commencing the recovery process.

Rest assured, we strive to recover as much data as possible from your device. Any data retrieved will be transferred to a new drive provided by Oaktus, with associated costs added to the final invoice. Please note that old drives sent by customers will not be returned, as they may be dismantled for data recovery purposes. We cannot guarantee the return of these drives.

At Oaktus we prioritize the security and privacy of our customers’ data. We are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines regarding data handling. Rest assured, your personal information is treated with the utmost confidentiality and is used solely to provide our repair services. Your trust and privacy are of paramount importance to us.

Service Completion

All repaired equipment will include a full report of work carried out, hours spent and parts replaced. This report will also include a client code and work order number for future reference.

We stand behind our repairs with a comprehensive 90-day warranty. If any issue listed on the original work order resurfaces within this period, we’ll re-service your device at no additional cost. Additionally, all parts utilized in the repair are guaranteed for 90 days from the service date.

Please note that our warranty covers issues directly related to the services performed or the original diagnosis. Any unrelated malfunctions within the warranty period will be assessed for repair costs accordingly.
