Terms and Conditions / Terms of Service

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE OUR SERVICES.

1. New Check-ins
By accessing your account through our portal at
http://portal.prismtech.co.uk, you can conveniently view your current work orders, previous work orders, make requests, communicate with our staff directly, and view previous receipts. Our portal allows you to stay updated on the progress of your repairs in real-time, eliminating the need to call us for updates.

2. Booking and Repair Process
2.1. Booking your device with us automatically implies acceptance of the following terms and conditions.
2.2. While you are welcome to call us to inquire about the status of your item, excessive contact may delay repairs as our technicians’ time will be spent on communication rather than carrying out the repairs. The typical repair time is 1-4 business days, but it may vary during busy periods or if special order items are required.

2.3. Please note that while our technicians will not intentionally cause data loss or file damage on your device, mechanical failures of components can occur unexpectedly, and virus infections can lead to unpredictable problems. If you have important data such as family pictures or financial records on your device and wish to minimize the risk of data loss, please inquire about our backup services, which can be performed before intensive diagnostic tests or virus scans are conducted. Prism Technology will not be held liable for any loss of data or unforeseen events such as theft, fire, or liquid exposure (this list is not exhaustive).

2.4. Third Party Screens and Compatibility Issues:

When it comes to Phone repairs, it is important to note that we may also utilize third-party screens for replacements. While these screens are of high quality and function effectively, we would like to highlight that we cannot assume responsibility for any potential compatibility issues that may arise between these screens and the device manufacturers’ software updates or choices.
In certain cases, when a third-party screen is installed, your device may display a notification indicating that a non-original part has been used. This message is a standard prompt designed by the device manufacturer and does not affect the functionality or performance of the device. Please be assured that we only use reliable third-party parts and strive to provide the best repair solutions for our customers.

Water Resistance and Repair Services:
We want to emphasize that any repairs carried out on your device, regardless of the make or model, may compromise its water resistance capabilities. Unless explicitly stated in writing by our repair store, we cannot guarantee the water resistance of any device after it has undergone repairs. It is important to understand that even with meticulous repair procedures, the original water resistance integrity may not be fully restored.
We highly recommend exercising caution and avoiding exposure to water or other liquids after any repairs have been completed. It is the responsibility of the device owner to take appropriate measures to prevent damage from water or liquid contact.

Dust Visibility in Repairs:
During the repair process, our technicians work diligently to provide the highest quality service. However, due to the nature of repair environments, we cannot guarantee that there will be no visible dust particles underneath certain components, such as digitizers or screens.
Although we employ measures to minimize dust and maintain a clean work environment, the presence of microscopic particles may be unavoidable. Please be assured that any visible dust that does not affect the functionality or performance of the device is considered within acceptable standards. We strive to achieve the best possible repair results while ensuring the overall integrity and usability of your device.
By availing our repair services, you acknowledge and accept these terms and conditions. If you have any concerns or questions regarding our policies, please feel free to contact us for further clarification.
