Trade-in terms and conditions

Trade-in are indicative values only and are subject to physical assessment by one of our technical team. Any offering is made subject to the applicant being the lawful owner of the device, the device being in good working order, with no damage whatsoever to the screen, no liquid damage, no damage to the outer shell, including any scratches or small dents, and the device has not had any unauthorised repairs. All user data must be removed from the device. iCloud removed and Find My Device disabled.

The trade-in value may increase or decrease accordingly based on this physical assessment, if any of the above conditions are not met or are found to be untrue. A reduced trade-in amount will be paid if a working Apple charger/power cable does not accompany the device when trading it in. Assessment results are final.

Up to Five qualifying products may be traded in, at a time, against the purchase of a new iPhone, Mac, iPad, or Apple Watch. If the product to be traded in is linked to a cellular contract, that contract needs to be settled in full. Should there be any money outstanding on the device accepting these terms and conditions serves as a declaration that all outstanding money on the device or any obligation to the cellular network for this device will be settled in full, irrespective of whether the device is traded in before the contract expires.

When you buy a new iPhone, Mac, iPad, or Apple Watch for cash, take out a new cellular contract, or upgrade an existing contract the trade in amount will be passed as either an upfront discount on the purchases of a new product on same day of a trade-in or as a store credit to be used at a later stage at Digicape.

A device trade-in will not be considered if the serial number on the device has been removed, damaged or hidden or if the device itself has been altered, tampered with in any way. Digicape will not be held liable for any misrepresentation caused due to an unintentional copy error, and/or omission that may occur on any of our material.

Only Apple products purchased in South Africa from Authorised Resellers are eligible for trade-in at Digicape. E&OE.

Device/s booked in for repair or service

By accepting these terms, the customer confirms and acknowledges that he agrees with and understands the disclaimer and terms and conditions below.

1. The customer further warrants that he is the owner/s of the device(s), or, that he was given permission to sign this document and consents to the service and/or repair on behalf of the owner, subject to these terms and conditions.

2. The customer warrants that he has backed up and secured on a separate device, all the data contained on the device prior to handing in the device. The customer acknowledges that in the event of a board failure, all data on such device will be lost and will be non-recoverable, under any circumstances. The customer indemnifies, and holds Digicape harmless against all damage/s, harm and loss howsoever arising with reference to the device aforementioned, the repair thereof to be effected, any loss or corruption of data including but not limited to confidential, proprietary or personal information howsoever arising.

3. The customer warrants that he has removed any and all removable media such as DVDs, CDs, PC cards and/or any SIM cards and accordingly indemnifies Digicape against the loss of any removable media.

4. The condition of the device will be noted at time of booking in. Notwithstanding the aforesaid it shall be the responsibility of the customer to prove that the device did not have any pre-existing defects when handed in.

5. The customer undertakes to remove any third party add-ons including but not limited to screen protectors and/or covers, which may be damaged or destroyed during the repair. Digicape will not be held liable for the costs to replace any such third party add-ons.

6. The customer further undertakes to disable and/or remove applications such as “Find my iPhone” and “Activation Lock” prior to booking in the device for service or repair. These applications may restrict Digicape from effecting hardware service and/or repair, as such devices with these or similar applications will be rejected, if not disabled.

7. Any repairs or service to be carried out on the device which is not covered by a warranty will be quoted on accordingly.

8. A quotation is an estimate which may change if the repair is unsuccessful or if additional parts or services are required. Quotations are valid for a period of 7 days and may be subject to ROE fluctuations. Repairs will only be undertaken on receipt of written acceptance/approval of a quotation, and receipt of the 50% deposit payment of the presented quotation, which may be communicated via electronic communication to support@digicape.co.za.

9. Digicape shall not accept cancellations after receiving an acceptance or approval of a quotation, and if the part has been placed on order already with Apple. The customer shall be liable for the full repair charges alternatively, at Digicape's sole discretion, a reasonable cancellation penalty will be levied before the device is released. A device will only be released once any outstanding/full payment has been received in our bank account.

10. A service charge may be applied where the customer has requested Digicape to assess the device. This may, by necessity, require certain services to be performed for the purposes of assessing fault/damage and in order to provide the customer with a quotation for the costs of repairs to the device. In this instance, Digicape will request the completion of an assessment form, which will note any applicable charges.

11. In an event where the device has sustained liquid or physical damage, the customer indemnifies Digicape harmless against any/all damage or harm/loss whatsoever arising from the assessment process. Please be advised that Digicape may not be able to return the device in working order after it has been disassembled for assessment purposes.

12. In the event where devices have sustained damage to the LCD screens, lenses or touchscreens which have the probability to disintegrate during disassembly and will therefore not be returnable in the condition that the device was received, the customer accordingly indemnifies and holds Digicape harmless against all damage/s, harm and loss howsoever arising with reference to the aforementioned.

12. In accordance with the law, Digicape will not be obliged to return devices that have been assessed and found to be reported stolen/blacklisted, unless the customer is able to prove ownership thereof.

13. Digicape does not hold parts in stock and availability is dependent on the supply from the manufacturer and we therefore cannot guarantee the availability of parts. Parts ship ex Europe with an average ETA of 7 – 10 working days.
14. Digicape cannot guarantee the availability of any loan equipment should a repair take longer than expected. The customer hereby acknowledges that time is not of the essence and Digicape will not be held liable for any damages or inconvenience suffered as a result of a delay in the return of the device.

15. All collections need to be done during service centre trading hours. The customer is to present this document for collection and no unit will be released without this document.

16. The customer hereby undertakes to collect his device within 14 days after the completion of the repair. Should the customer fail to collect the device within 30 days of completion of the repair/service then Digicape shall have the right to charge a storage fee of R50.00 per day per device retrospective with effect from the 14th day after completion of the repair.

17. The customer acknowledges that by booking in his device, that such device is pledged to Digicape as security for payment of the repair/service and storage fee as well as for the full value of any loan device not returned to Digicape or for any damage caused to a loan device.

18. Digicape reserves the right to dispose of the device to defray the costs and expenses incurred, if the device is not claimed and/or if any amount charged herein remains unpaid after 30 days from repair.

19. The customer agrees that the telephone number/s and email addresses that he provides herein are his chosen method of contact and address/number and he confirms that any legal notices or documents that Digicape may send for his attention can be sent to either contact detail.

20. Payment must be tendered prior to collection of the device. Payment shall be made at the time of collection unless the payment will be made via EFT. All EFT payments are to reflect in our Bank account before any devices may be collected.

21. A replacement or repaired part, assumes the remaining term of the Warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for the customer. When a part is replaced or repaired, any replacement or repaired item becomes the customer’s property and the replaced and/or discarded item becomes Digicape’s property.

22. Digicape, their directors, affiliates, employees, contractors and agents will under no circumstances whatsoever be liable for any damages, whether direct, special, general, indirect, incidental, exemplary or consequential, resulting from any service consultation, services rendered or goods supplied, including without limitation, the cost of recovering, reprogramming, or reproducing any program or data.

This includes, without limitation, failure to maintain the confidentiality of data, or any loss of business, profits, revenue, anticipated savings or goodwill. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Digicape does not warrant that it will be able to (1) repair or replace any products or equipment without risk to or loss of programs, applications or data; (2) maintain confidentiality of data; or (3) preserve data/material stored on the device. The customer accordingly indemnifies and holds harmless Digicape from any liability in this regard whatsoever.

23. In order to effect the repair or replacement of the device, it will be necessary for the Digicape to process some of the customers’ personal information. The customer hereby acknowledges that processing includes (but is not limited to) collection, retention, use, storage or distribution of personal information.

Contact information is also used for communication purposes throughout the repair process. The customer hereby agrees that personal information may be stored on the Digicape database and may be used for any lawful purpose at Digicape’s discretion and consent to the processing of your personal information by the Digicape accordingly. The customer absolves Digicape from any liability in terms of Protection of Personal Information Act No 4.of 2013 (POPI) for failing to obtain further consent or to notify the customer of the reason for the processing of personal information.

24. No addition to, variation of, or agreed cancellation of these terms and conditions shall be of any force or effect unless reduced to writing and signed by both parties by way of handwritten signatures.

25. If any provision of these terms and conditions is held to be unenforceable by any court of law or other tribunal or competent authority, such provision shall be severable from these terms and conditions and shall not affect the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

26. No indulgence by any party shall operate as an estoppel against it in respect of any of its rights hereunder, nor shall it operate so as to preclude any party thereafter from exercising its rights strictly in accordance with this agreement.
