Terms and Conditions

Macystech.co.uk is the trading name for Macys Tech Limited

When your order has been placed, the prices quoted are guaranteed for 7 days from the 'Order Approved' date. (This is the date on which we send you a confirmation email.) If your phone(s)/tablet(s) are received after 7 days from the 'Order Approved' date, the up-dated, current prices will apply. This could be disappointing - so to help you, we'll send a reminder email during the 7 day guarantee period.

Postage We offer a freepost service. Unfortunately, we do not accept responsibility for non-delivery of phones/tablets or damage in transit. If you are posting your phone/tablet yourself we recommend that you send any high value units via registered post to ensure successful delivery.

Payments When we receive your sale item, we will check that the sale is complete, and that it meets our terms and conditions. Providing it does, we will make payment to you by bank transfer on the same day your device is processed. Devices are typically processed the same day they are received, but during busy periods devices can take 1-2 working days after receipt to be processed. Same day payment does not apply in events that are out of our control.

If you have received payment from us in error, you agree to immediately reimburse us in full, within 3 business days following a written request by us, for any such payment.

Bank Transfer payments Bank Transfer payments can only be made to the account details given when placing the online order. We cannot, under any circumstances, recall or reissue bank transfer payments once they have been made.

All Apple iPhones and devices must not be 'activation locked' and must be deregistered (removed) from any iCloud (Find my iPhone/iPad) accounts.

All Samsung devices devices must be removed from any associated Samsung and Google accounts.

We will check the IMEI/Serial number of all mobile phones and devices received on the CheckMEND (www.checkmend.com) database of lost and stolen property records to ensure no lost or stolen items are purchased.

If a mobile phone or device is found to have a record that indicates it has been lost or stolen or we become aware of any other issue relating to its ownership, we will notify the seller by email and quarantine the mobile phone or device for an initial period of 28 days ("the Quarantine Period"). Payment for the mobile phone or device will be withheld by us until the CheckMEND record does not show the mobile phone/tablet as stolen or lost.

In such circumstances you will be required to contact CheckMEND to prove that you are the rightful owner of the mobile phone or device and have the lost or stolen records associated with it cleared within the Quarantine Period and/or resolve any other issue relating to its ownership.

If during the Quarantine Period the mobile phone or device is cleared on the CheckMEND database and any other issue relating to ownership of the same is resolved, your sale will be processed and paid for as normal.

However, where the mobile phone or device is not cleared on CheckMEND within the Quarantine Period, we will be required by law to hold onto the mobile phone or device, pass it to the Police or other law enforcement body or dispose of it, and by entering into this contract, you expressly agree to this action. You will not receive any payment if such steps are taken.

UK legislation states that we cannot under any circumstances return or pay for a mobile phone or device which is lost or stolen or recorded as such.

If you have received payment from us for a mobile phone or device which we subsequently become aware of an issue relating to ownership, you agree to immediately reimburse us in full, within 3 business days following a written request by us, for any such payment pending an investigation by us or any law enforcement body into ownership of the device or mobile phone.

If we at any time become aware of any issues relating to the ownership of the mobile phone or device, you agree to co-operate with us fully with a view to resolving the issues. You may also be contacted by the Police and/or other law enforcement authorities.

Phones/tablets Each mobile phone/tablet sold should match the make, model and network in the sale order and meet the following conditions:

All phones and devices must be on a UK network or not locked. Phones or devices locked to a foreign network will not be accepted.

Lost or Stolen Mobile Phones and Devices Selling a mobile phone or device which you do not own may amount to a criminal offence. Macys tech limited support and adhere to the 'Stop Stolen Mobiles Being Recycled' code of practice set by the Home Office and the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit.

We reserve the right to reject any order where we have a strong belief that the device you are sending to us may be owned by a third party (e.g. any device sold by EE since the 26th March 2014 will belong to EE for the initial 6 months).

We have the final say on all device values.

By submitting an order through our site you warrant that the phone(s) or tablet(s) comply with these terms. Please note:

You are responsible for cancelling any airtime contract linked to each handset. We are not responsible for any call costs arising before, or after, receipt of your handset, or arising from any other circumstances whatsoever. Please ensure you remove your SIM card before sending us your mobile phone/tablet. We accept no liability in the event that a SIM card is sent with a phone/tablet and charges are then incurred. You shall continue to be responsible for such charges. Any SIM cards received by us are non-returnable. Please remember that by sending your phone/tablet to us,

you agree to release us from all and any claims, losses or damages with respect to the phone/tablet, any data stored or contained therein or on any media used in conjunction with the phone/tablet (whether in the form of personal details, SMS, photos, games, songs or other data ("Data")). We accept no responsibility in relation to the security, protection, confidentiality or use of such data and it is your responsibility to ensure that such data is removed from the phone/tablet prior to you sending it to us.

Adjusted Offers & Returns If a phone/tablet fails to meet our terms and conditions we'll propose an adjusted price by email and the order tracking page on our website. If you choose to decline our new offer, we are happy to return the phone/tablet. We cannot return accessories or the box, however. Adjusted orders will be automatically processed for payment if you do not click the return link in our proposed offer message within 3 days. Please note that it is your responsibility to regularly check the order tracking page on our website, and we cannot be held responsible for non-delivery of adjusted offer emails or indeed any transactional email.

iCloud Locked Devices We do not offer any money for iCloud locked devices. Within 28 days of the message being sent you must either click the appropriate link to have the device returned, or successfully remove iCloud and inform us. If you do neither within the timeframe we will automatically take ownership of the device and responsibly recycle it without payment.

Unclaimed Devices In the event we receive a device without the Packing Slip or any reasonable way of identifying the rightful owner of the device, we will hold the device for 28 days to give the rightful owner an opportunity to claim the device. We will require a valid tracking number showing the device has been delivered, and/or the IMEI number or Serial Number of the device in order to conduct an unclaimed device investigation. If the device has not been claimed within 28 days of us receiving it we will take ownership of the device and responsibly recycle it without payment.
