Last updated: [27.02.2024]

  1. Warranty repair - free repair carried out by the manufacturer in accordance with the terms of purchase of the device and binding legislation, provided that the manufacturer's rules on the use and operation of the device are followed.
     
  2. Out-of-warranty repair - paid service if the device failure is caused by improper use of the device, such as mechanical damage, exposure to moisture, installation of software not approved by the manufacturer, and elimination of other defects that are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty and are caused by the fault of the user.
     
  3.  If the customer offers to repair the device for a fee, but does not want to repair it for the amount offered, the customer must pay for diagnostics (according to the price list: https://www.etsc.ee/ee/tsc-teave/kasulik-information/services-hinnakiri) . The price of diagnostics can vary between 15.00 and 122.00 EUR depending on the workshop where the service is provided. Diagnostics involves identifying defective parts, but not replacing them.
     
  4.  The service center is not responsible for damage caused by the disassembly of the equipment, if the equipment has been previously repaired without permission, if low-quality non-original spare parts have been installed, or if the equipment has been used in a way that does not comply with the manufacturer's rules for the use and operation of the equipment.
     
  5.  The service center is not responsible for hidden defects of the device that appear after receiving the device for repair and/or for defects that could not be detected upon receipt - for example, cracks hidden under a thick screen protector.

  7.  The service center will carry out the repair as soon as possible and within a maximum of 15 (fifteen) calendar days, but the repair period may be extended considering the availability of the damaged part in the service center's warehouse or if the device needs to be sent to a specialized service center in a member state of the European Union.

  8.  If 3 (three) calendar days have passed since the service center has informed the customer by text message, call or e-mail about the need to give an answer, comment or send accessories and the customer has not responded or sent accessories, the service center has the right to return the device to the customer without prior notice without unrepaired.
