Section A – What’s included
Repair and Support
If you require support and advice or for any reason your Product isn’t working, please call our Team Knowhow experts on 0344 561 1234, who will try to diagnose the problem and find a solution.
If we can’t solve the problem over the phone we will repair the Product or replace it, during the call we will advise on next steps (please note the Product replacement details below and the Section B exclusions). If your Product is small you may be required to take it to one of our stores.
Product replacement
If we cannot repair your Product you will be given a voucher to obtain a replacement in one of our stores. The value will be based on an equivalent or similar specification product up to a maximum of your original Product purchase price. In some instances, at our discretion a replacement product may be given instead of a voucher. Apple iPads will be replaced by an Apple authorised replacement product.
If you receive a Product replacement voucher this plan will end. You will receive a pro rata refund voucher which can be redeemed during the purchase of another Repair & Support Plan.
Multiple mechanical or electrical failures
If your Product has a mechanical or electrical failure after being repaired on three previous occasions, and your Product is still within your Repair & Support Plan, you may request a replacement. This benefit applies on the fourth separate mechanical or electrical failure.
24/7 expert support
Our expert support service covers a variety of products including computing, home entertainment and gadgets.
7-day repair promise
If your repair takes more than 7 days, you may request a replacement product. The 7-day repair promise will start on each occasion from:
- The date you book in your Product for repair in one of our stores.
- The date of the engineer’s first visit.
- The date that we collect your Product.
If the Product is taken into a store the repair will be considered complete when the Product is available for collection. If the Product is collected from you it will be returned to the same address and the repair will be considered complete on the date of the earliest re-delivery slot we offer.
Please note the Product replacement section above.
The 7-day repair promise is subject to allowing us reasonable access to the Product for repair. If we cannot get access (e.g. you are away), the 7-day promise will not apply. When the Product is still operational and safe to use the 7-day promise will not apply.
Due to the additional time needed to carry out data recovery the 7-day repair promise will not apply to any repair where data recovery has been requested. The 7-day repair promise will also not apply to iPads unless the Find my iPad feature has been disabled.
