Terms: Making an order

1. We do not offer to include any of the device manufacturer's third party apps on the laptops, nor will the laptops we supply have the original manufacturer's recovery media, nor recovery partition on the drive (unless otherwise stated). 
2. We aim to provide detailed spec so you have more info when you make a purchase. However, unless a feature or spec is specially stated in our description, we do not promise the feature will exist. Minimum /lowest spec is to be presumed unless otherwise specified.
   
3. In the "What's included" area of each product we will provide insights into what will be included in the box. No additional accessories nor manuals etc will be included unless specifically stated.
   
4. Physical accessories shipped with a device (e.g. mouse / keypad, etc) are covered by 30 calendar days warranty only; replacement, repair / refund will be available within the first 30 calendar days from delivery. Items may be dispatched in multiple packages.
   
5. Any RAM/SSD upgrades purchased from GreenGreen Store, will carry the same warranty as the device purchased (and are covered by the eligible in-house warranty extension duration if purchased).
   
6. Removed components (SSD, RAM etc) from upgrades will be retained by GreenGreen Store and not be included with the purchase in exchange for lower overall upgrade costs.
7. Software such as Norton Anti-Virus, and Microsoft Office packages cannot be returned. The other portion of the order (e.g. a laptop) can still be refunded, if within the eligible return period, in the same condition.
8. Devices we sell cannot be re-registered with manufacturers. The refurbished devices may have previously been registered with the manufacturer by the original user, as a result, cannot be re-registered by the GreenGreen customer; some services may no longer be available as result. Asus specific: devices cannot be re-registered with Asus for MyAsus value added service. Dell specific: we cannot transfer the ownership of the Dell devices (sometimes still serviced without a transfer, though sometimes an ownership transfer is required; we stand behind our own warranty duration only).

Full Terms related to return / repair:

1. Repair & Refund Explained: Within the first 30 days of the delivery: a) repair; b) replace (best-effort-basis); or c) refund options are available (we will arrange pre-paid collection at our cost). You have a 14-day legal right to return your item from the delivery date, and then are legally required to return your item to us within a further 14 days from the request to return. We provide an additional period in which you can return your item up to 30 days after the date of delivery. For this period (15-30 days after delivery date) you are required to return the item within 7 days of your request.
   
2. After the initial 30 days of the delivery: a refund will only be arranged if neither repair nor replacement are possible; the responsibility of the postage cost is shifts to the buyer (for inbound repairs). After the first 6 month of the delivery: the repair/replacement will be quoted options only (unless the item was sold with longer than 6M warranty or have been purchased with an eligible warranty upgrade).
3. We cannot offer EU/international courier options (for the purposes of return or servicing), where the original order shipping address was UK based.
   
4. GreenGreen Store arranged collection service: after the initial 30 days, we may offer insured courier collection service at £15 inc VAT each journey (e.g. for collection purposes for repair, etc). Where the courier is paid for by GreenGreen Store directly, we would be responsible for loss or damage incurred in transit provided the customer securely & tapes the item(s). 
5. We require photos of the devices before they're sent back (to confirm the condition). 
6. The pre-paid return within the first 30 days of the delivery, is limited to one pre-paid collection per order. Where a customer has not made a full return of all the items ordered in the first attempt (including but not limited to any accessories / accessories); the subsequent cost to collect any missing item will be chargeable £15 per collection instance, deductable at the refund. Any refund can only be issued once all the items are returned fully, as sent. Where the customer requests to retain parts of the order, we will issue partial refund minus the retained items.
   
7. If you have requested a collection, but then missed the collection that you have requested, we reserve the rights to pass on £10 inc VAT surcharge from the courier company, before arranging the next collection. This cost is only incurred if you've missed a collection. As result if you can no longer attend a collection slot, it is important to let us know at least 2 working hours before the collection slot, so this cost could be waived & we can reschedule a collection for no additional cost to you.
   
8. We can only assist with repair/refund if the item gets to us safely. The customer may alternatively send us their devices (after letting us know), using a courier of their own choosing. To be clear, if a courier service is not paid directly for by GreenGreen Store, then it is the customer's responsibility solely to package securely & insure sufficiently to protect from loss/damage during transit. GreenGreen Store cannot assist if the parcel is damaged or lost where we have not directly paid for a courier service.
9. Record-keeping: Our items are thoroughly tested & logged for security reasons before shipping. We will record the item's serial number & condition. Where the item is flagged as not received, we may register the serial with loss and theft databases to help prevent any fraudulent use or reselling of the item.
10. We are not able to supply serial number before the item is delivered. This is to ensure the privacy of the end-customer. 
11. Items we ship will typically have additionally warranty sticker applied, this means the item is identifiable to us. This sticker must remain intact, to be eligible for the refund (unless there has been previous agreement with GreenGreen Store in writing).
    
12. All returns are delivered end-to-end to a CCTV audited site. Where an empty box/different item is returned, we reserve the rights to investigate, report & liaise with the relevant authorities as necessary to recover the items.
    
13. In some instances, GreenGreen Store reserves the rights to accept a return minus a 15% restocking fee (depending on the condition & level of use). This mainly applies to (but is not limited to) if any of the following occur: a) if the returned item remains functional, but now shows significant normal cosmetic wears/marks beyond the condition when it was sold (to be clear: we're unable to refund any return, if they show any sign of accidentally or liquid damaged); b) if the return is requested late but still within the goodwill period (goodwill period is defined as outside of the 30 days period from delivery, but within the first 45 days of the delivery); or c) if the item returned is incomplete due to missing accessories (if shipped with) or missing original boxes (if shipped with), or has a damaged original box compared to the condition when shipped (restocking fee does not apply if you no longer have our "repacked boxes" & does not apply if "original box" was not sent with the item).
    
14.  Excessive return monitoring: GreenGreen store reviews the account level return continuously. If a buyer's account has higher than average percentage of return, the store reserves the rights to review the account & issue an account closure if required (where future orders placed subsequently, may be cancelled without notice). Should a buyer have product queries before buying, one may simply get in contact (the store is happy to assist with product related queries); however, to be clear, GreenGreen Store cannot support nor facilitate sustained "buy to try" purchasing pattern).
