As per the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, please note the following Mandatory Repair Notices required by law:
(a) Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
(b) Repair of goods may result in loss of data.
1.1 These Conditions apply to each service/order that Mobile Computer Geeks Services ABN 17 319 247 264 carries out. These Conditions do not apply for which there are separate terms and conditions specifics to other products and services.
1.2 The supply of goods and/or the performance of services by Mobile Computer Geeks Services (“we“ or “us“ or “our“) to all its customers (“you“) is offered only and exclusively on the following terms and conditions. By requesting, ordering or otherwise permitting us to supply goods to or perform services for you, you hereby accept irrevocably and unconditionally our offer without derogation or qualification.
1.3 Mobile Computer Geeks Services technicians are independent sub-contractors.
1.4 Mobile Computer Geeks Services reserves the right to change these conditions from time to time without any prior notice.
2.1 You agree to pay in full the amount specified on any invoice rendered by us for goods and services supplied to you on completion of service (C.O.D payment terms), unless we agree otherwise in writing.
2.2 Mobile Computer Geeks offers a “No Solution, No Fee policy”. This means that if we cannot provide a solution to the problem, we will not charge you for our services. In some cases, the solution may be that you need to upgrade or replace your software or hardware. If we advise you to do so and you choose not to upgrade or replace your software or hardware, you acknowledge that we have met our commitment to you by providing a solution to your problem, whether or not you choose to implement that solution.
2.3 If we have implemented a solution in terms of fixing a software or hardware and the problem still persists, we will identify the cause of the problem and if it is found to be associated directly with the service we offered, we will send another technician without any further charge. Our technician may decide to use a remote connection to your computer to look further into your problem.
2.4 All our services come with a 14 days repair guarantee.
2.5 We accept Cash, Debit Cards, Credit Cards and EFT. There is a 1.8% surcharge on all payments made by any debit/credit card. You authorise us to charge all fees incurred by you in relation to the services provided to the credit/debit card designated by you. If payment is not received from the card issuer or its agents for any reason, you agree to pay us all amounts due immediately on demand.
2.5a Payments made using AfterPay or ZipPay generated single use cards have a 10% surcharge due to the higher processing costs charged to us for these services.
2.6 If you default in the payment by the due date of any amount payable to us, or if any cheque drawn by you is dishonoured, then all money which is then due as well as all monies that are payable by you to us at a later date on any account, shall be due and payable immediately without the requirement of any notice to you, and we may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to us:
(a) charge you interest on any sum due at the rate of 3% above the corporate reference rate of our principal banker. This interest shall be calculated daily and compounded every 30 days for the period from the due date until the date of payment in full; and
(b) charge you for all expenses and costs (including debt collection commission and fees, legal costs on a full indemnity basis and dishonoured cheque fees) suffered or incurred by us resulting from the default, including taking whatever action we deem appropriate to recover any amounts due (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include engaging Dun & Bradstreet or other debt collection agency to seek to recover the amounts due); and
(c) ease or suspend for such period as we think fit, supply of any further goods or services to you; and
(d) by notice in writing to you, terminate any contract with you so far as unperformed by us; without effect on our accrued rights under this or any other any contract.
