5 YEAR WARRANTY

For full details of the fix2U warranty, along with details of what is and what is not covered, please check terms and conditions for warranty.

CANCELLATION, RESCHEDULING AND NO-SHOW

Bookings can be cancelled or rescheduled with no charge as long as we are notified more than 60 minutes prior to your agreed appointment time. Bookings cancelled less than 60 minutes from the agreed appointment time will forfeit the prepayment fee of 15%. One reschedule is permitted per booking. Should additional changes need to be made following the first reschedule, the original booking will be cancelled, and another one created incurring another prepayment fee.

We will wait for a maximum of 15 minutes past the agreed appointment time in the event you are late for the appointment. If you do not arrive for the appointment within this time, the booking will be cancelled, and the prepayment fee of 15% will be forfeited.

In the unlikely event fix2U needs to reschedule a repair booking, we will contact you and offer alternative dates and times. If we are not able to find a new time that works for you, we will cancel your booking and refund any prepayment, if taken.

The price displayed at the time of booking for your repair is the price you will pay – there are no hidden extra charges or callout fees. In some cases, your Repair Hero may identify other issues with your device following our inspection. In the event any additional repair work is required, your fix2U Repair Hero will explain the nature of the work required and if there are any additional costs involved, so that you may make a decision on whether you wish the work to go ahead.

IRREPERABLE DAMAGE

If a customer device is irreparably damaged as a direct result of a repair attempted by a fix2U Repair Hero and payment has been rendered, the customer is entitled to a fully functional refurbished device of equal or greater value of the damaged device based on its model and condition as received and with the original repair issue resolved, or the monetary equivalent of fair market value of the device in that condition as determined by fix2U. If payment was not rendered for service, the repair quote shall be deducted from the value, or a refurbished device of the same damaged condition as received shall be offered. In order to receive a replacement device, the customer’s damaged device must be rendered to the fix2U Repair Hero who completed the repair. In all cases, the fix2U Repair Hero is responsible for the replacement and should be contacted directly to arrange replacement. fix2U customers are also welcome to contact fix2U directly to notify us of irreparable damage issues, however, liability shall rest with the fix2U Repair Hero who performed the service.

Prior to conducting your repair, we will perform a full test and diagnostic on your device to determine the pre-repair condition of all phone features and functions so that we can be sure our repair process has not affected any feature or function of your device that was previously working. We will advise you in the event that we are not able to complete all required tests – for example, due to the phone being locked, or the device not being charged. Please note that the fix2U 5 year warranty specifically excludes any issues or problems relating to phone features and functions that we were not able to verify as being fully operational prior to our repair.

DAMAGED LCD

For some devices we offer two different prices for screen replacement. For these devices, a lower price is offered if only the screen glass is damaged, and a higher price if both the screen glass and LCD/OLED is damaged. If you book a repair for screen glass damage only, and upon inspection of your device your repairer deems that the LCD is also damaged, fix2U reserve the right to charge the pricing for ‘screen glass and LCD’ damage. In such situations, your Repair Hero will explain the pricing difference to you before commencing the repair.

Following the release of IOS 12, a software change made by Apple has impacted the ‘True Tone’ functionality on recent model iPhones (iPhone 8 and above). As a result, screen replacements completed by fix2U on these models may not support the True Tone feature correctly. It is uncertain if Apple will resolve this issue in future iOS releases. The majority of our Repair Heroes carry specialised equipment that can enable the TrueTone feature following your repair. Please speak to your repairer when they call to schedule your appointment and they can confirm if they are able to enable the TrueTone feature for your make and model of device.

BIOMETRIC SENSORS (TOUCH ID / FACE ID)

If your device has a fingerprint biometric sensor (Touch ID) or facial recognition sensors (Face ID), there is a very small risk that these sensors may not operate correctly following a screen repair / screen replacement. In such cases, these functions become inoperative as a byproduct of the repair process, even when all due care and attention is exercised by a skilled repair technician. Due to this, fix2U have specifically excluded non-working biometric sensor from the fix2U Five Year Warranty. fix2U will not be held responsible or liable for any device that exhibits a non-working biometric sensor following our repair, even if the sensor was deemed to be operative prior to the repair. Due to the way Apple has implemented the hardware security features in devices with Touch ID and Face ID, fix2U are unfortunately not able to fix problems with devices that exhibit this problem. Customers concerned about this issue are strongly advised to repair their device directly with Apple and not to use fix2U or other third party repairers to fix their device.

If you make a booking for liquid damage repair, our ‘no fix no fee’ policy does not apply, and you will be charged a non-refundable liquid damage inspection fee of $69 to cover the cost of our time and labour to inspect your phone. However, in the event that we are able to successfully repair your liquid damaged device, we will waive the inspection fee, and you will only be charged for the parts and labour required to repair your device. Please also note that liquid damaged devices are not covered by fix2U’s five year warranty.

DEVICE NOT PRESENTED

In the event that you are not able to present the specific make and model of device you booked for at the time of repair, fix2U may, at their sole discretion, charge you a futile booking fee of $59. We encourage you to make every effort to ensure that you are booking the correct make and model of device for your repair. We have handy guides available on the fix2U website and on the booking form to ensure you book for the correct make and model.

If your device has a water resistance function, please note that our repair process may impact the performance of this function, and post repair, the device may not have the same degree of water resistance as when the device was new from the factory.

DATA LOSS

fix2U strongly recommend that you take steps to ensure a full and complete backup of your device is made prior to your repair booking. Data loss during the repair process is a rare event, but nevertheless we suggest making a backup to safe guard against any potential issue. Please note that fix2U can not be held liable in the event of any data loss on your device as a result of completing the repair process on your device.

Apple Repairs

fix2U is a certified Apple Independent Repair Provider (IRP) and a number of our repairs (where indicated on our website) use genuine Apple parts sourced directly from Apple. For these repairs, fix2U use Apple diagnostics, tools and processes to make sure your Apple product repair is done safely and reliably.

Where a repair is offered under the IRP program, we will clearly indicate “Genuine Apple Part” in the repair description.

For all other Apple repairs, fix2U use Premium Quality Parts during the repair process that are of a specification and quality that are either similar to – or in some cases identical to – those supplied by Apple. For screen replacements, minor differences in LCD/OLED colour temperature as compared to the original screen may be observable in some cases. For some makes and models of devices, fix2U may elect to use refurbished OEM parts rather than new parts. All repair parts, whether new or refurbished, are covered by fix2U’s comprehensive 5 year warranty.

Please also note that for certain Apple devices and repair types where a non-genuine repair is selected by you, your iPhone may display a warning that your phone has been unable to determine if the replacement part fitted is genuine or not.

Other Manufacturers (Samsung, Oppo, Google etc.)

Repairs for Samsung, Oppo and Google use genuine parts. For some makes and models of devices, fix2U may elect to use refurbished OEM parts rather than new parts. All repair parts, whether new or refurbished, are covered by fix2U’s comprehensive 5 year warranty.

Broken parts

The broken parts that are replaced by fix2U will be recycled responsibly by fix2U following your repair. For genuine Apple screen replacements, your boken parts must be retained by fix2U for return to Apple. For all other repairs, if you wish to keep the broken parts from your device you must inform your fix2U Repair Hero at the time of repair.
