It may be necessary for iQ to run diagnostics, access user data, and open applications for testing purposes.

Apple Diagnostics and Usage of Personal Details

When agreeing to a repair/diagnostics, you (the customer) agree that Apple may collect diagnostic data from your device, including the device serial number and other identifiers, device name, daily count of call attempts and call duration (if applicable), and information about app usage data. The data collected will be used by Apple and its partners to troubleshoot issues with your device and to improve Apple’s products and services.

Personal details (customer name, contact numbers etc.) may be collected by Apple in order to review the services provided by iQ.

For more information on Apple’s Privacy Policy, see http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/privacy

Data Backup

While we take every possible precaution to prevent unnecessary data loss, iQ accepts no responsibility for customer data. It is strongly recommended that customers retain a backup of important data, as we cannot guarantee its safe retrieval after service.

Handling/Disposal of Removed Data Storage

Replaced storage devices will normally be returned to the customer after service. With written consent, storage devices may be securely erased and destroyed before being disposed of.

Some devices may be exchanged through Apple as a form of repair service (e.g. iOS whole-device replacements). Wherever possible, faulty devices will be securely erased before being returned to Apple for recycling.

Apple Limited Warranty and Authorised Service

iQ is an Apple Authorised Service Provider. We provide official service for Apple devices and use Apple-provided replacement parts and devices, and will provide an Apple repair number (unless parts being fitted are not provided by Apple, e.g. third-party hard drives). Apple service parts and replacements are new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability. iQ is unable to determine whether supplied parts are new or equivalent to new, and we cannot request one or the other from Apple.

All replacement parts and devices carry a 90-day warranty or inherit the original device warranty, whichever is longer. Consumer Law coverage eligibility is unaffected by Apple service parts or replacements and continues to be based on the original date-of-purchase and original proof-of-purchase.

Third-party components (e.g. upgraded storage) are not covered by the Apple Limited Warranty or Consumer Law claims made through Apple. Such components may be covered by their own manufacturer warranties.

Out-of-Warranty Fees

Parts and labour supplied out-of-warranty are chargeable at a minimum inspection fee of £60 for Mac and £55 for all other devices. Should additional fees, parts or replacement devices be required, we will contact you before proceeding.

We require up-front payment before parts and replacement devices can be ordered and/or further work is carried out. Parts and replacement devices cannot be returned or refunded once ordered from Apple.

Accidental damage is not covered by the Apple Limited Warranty.

Unauthorised Modifications

Prior third-party repairs or unauthorised modifications do not necessarily affect service eligibility of your Apple device. Eligibility for official Apple service is determined by an iQ technician during inspection. If the reported symptoms or any found damage are caused by third-party components, repairs or modifications, out-of-warranty service may be necessary and a minimum inspection fee of £60 for Mac and £55 for all other devices will apply.

Device durability may be adversely affected by the presence of third-party parts or unauthorised repairs/modifications. iQ does not take responsibility for damage that may occur during service to such affected devices.

Please notify our staff immediately if your device has been previously repaired or modified.

1. 1. Third-party Parts:
      If on inspection a device is found to have replacement 3rd party parts or ‘rogue’ parts that are not supplied by the manufacturer, your warranty will be deemed as invalid and we reserve the right to refuse to service / repair the product, if it is either in or outside of the warranty period. The product will then be returned to you.
   2. Devices that have already undergone repair by either a non-Apple authorised repair centre, or an individual repairing their own device. If on inspection the original repair is sub-standard but can be rectified without causing damage to the device we will notify you and of the associated costs for the repair. If however, on inspection it is deemed the original repair is sub-standard and cannot be rectified without causing damage to the device, we reserve the right to refuse undertaking a repair

Unclaimed and Unpaid Items

Unless otherwise agreed, iQ will dispose of devices and other items that are not collected and paid-for within 60 days of the date on this form. If you are unable to collect your items or pay for the agreed service(s) and/or parts within this timeframe, please contact us as soon as possible.

Appointment and booking procedures
