Your use of
the
AAComputerZone.com services is governed by the following terms
and conditions. Please read them carefully. They do not
affect your statutory rights.
Our
Agreement
By ordering services from
AAComputerZone.com you are entering into a
contract with us. The terms below are important and set out
our obligations to you and what you are agreeing to.
Order
Process
The total
cost of your order will be the price of the services you
order. All these will be set out clearly on the website
before you request your order and confirmed over the phone
or via
email.
Once you
have booked a visit, the engineer will give you a breakdown
of the work required and relevant costs. You will have the
option to accept or reject at this point. If the computer is
required to be taken off site for work then the cost or work
must be agreed before leaving.
To order
our service you will need to supply us with one phone number
on which we are able to contact you together with an e-mail
address.
Our
contract with you, and your service order, is not legally
binding until 6.00pm the day before our Technician is due to
visit you. For a service visit scheduled on a Monday the
order becomes legally binding at 6.00pm the Friday before.
You may cancel at any time up to this point.
Fees and
Payment
We accept
payment by Cash, Cheque & credit card via our online
payment system. Payment is deducted when
we complete your order. Any refunds will be made by the form
of payment used for purchase. An
additional £10 travel fee may be charged at the discretion
of the technician.
All prices
and charges on this site are in UK pounds.
IMPORTANT:
We try very hard to ensure that all information on this site
is accurate. However, just occasionally, an error can occur.
If we discover an error in the price or description of a
service or product you have ordered, we may cancel your
order at any time on the day before the first home visit
appointment. We will contact you where we become aware of an
error and ask you whether you wish to continue with your
order at the correct price or cancel it.
Booking
Service Slots
If you wish
to make an appointment for our service(s), you can do so by
following the on-line booking process where available or call us direct.
Appointments for a technician to visit your home can be made
for a specific day, Monday to Sunday, and our Technician
will visit you between 8.00am and 9.00pm. Appointments are
subject to availability and will be allocated on a first
come, first served basis.
The date of
the appointment slot for your Technician’s service visit
will be confirmed over the phone.
Our
Technician will call you on the morning of the appointment
between 8.00am and 12.00pm to advise you of the estimated
time of arrival.
Sometimes
it may be necessary to re-schedule an appointment due to
factors beyond our control. If it is necessary to do this,
we will telephone you to try to re-schedule another
appointment soon as reasonably possible at a mutually
convenient time. In the unlikely event we do have to
reschedule an appointment at any time you may cancel your
order.
We may need
to arrange repeat on site visits in order to fix a problem
where additional travel charges at £10 a visit may be
charged.
Cancelling or Changing an Appointment
You may
cancel or make a change to a home appointment at any time
before 6.00pm the day before the appointment date (or the
Friday before for a Monday appointment). Cancellations made
before 6.00pm on the day prior to the appointment (or the
Friday before for a Monday appointment) will be entitled to
a full cancellation at no cost. If you cancel or change an
appointment after this time we will do our best to
re-arrange our schedules without cost to you but we may
charge up to 25% of the fees to cover our cancellation costs.
Service cancellations and changes can be made by
e-mailing
AAComputerZone.com at
support@aacomputerzone.com or calling
us on 07903 024 024.
Missed
Appointments
If you are
unable to keep a service appointment or there is no adult
present at the address specified during booking when the
Technician arrives then we will leave a note to say the
engineer called. Please re-book the appointment using the
number specified in the confirmation e-mail or on the
calling card. If you are out at the agreed appointment time
and subsequently cancel your service order
AAComputerZone.com may
demand up to 25% of the fees to cover its costs.
14 day
Warranty
All the
AAComputerZone.com services carry a 14 day warranty on
all services and
expertise
and a 1 years manufacturers warranty on all parts where
available. This means if there is a recurrence of the same
problem we had fixed or any fault which is connected to the
service provided we will either try again to fix the problem
at no extra charge or, if we cannot fix the problem, we will
refund your money in full for the services performed. This
excludes faults caused by the failure of other components
after the repair has taken place, or by faults caused
through the incorrect use of software,
re-occurrence of spyware,
viruses or downloaded
material, or by faults arising from accidental damage or
incorrect use of the product.
