Our technician will provide support (simply contact us). If the initial remote diagnostics shows the need, we may request for you to get the item to us for servicing (within 30 days, repair/replace, or refund available); after the initial 30 days, a refund will only be arranged if repair or replacement is not possible. After the initial 30 days, the onus of the postage cost is with the buyer.

During the service, we cannot be held responsible for any data loss that may occur, as we may be required to reinstall the Operating System (which will erase previous data). We are unable to offer data recovery. As a good practice, we advise our customers to regularly back up their data.
This does not apply to cosmetic wear due to use, nor existing issue(s) already noted in the original listing, nor does it cover any consumable part (e.g. the battery). During the service, if damage due to misuse is found, e.g. liquid damage /drops, cracked screen, etc, then the cover will be voided (set out fully in the "additional return policy details" below).
Some Acer laptops may have remaining manufacturer's warranty. To be clear, that is not offered as a part of this listing. We only stand by our own RTB warranty duration.

Grading Explained

Grading explained:

We are focused on providing a detailed amount of product information, so that you could shop online with ease. We've made some notes to make it easier for you to browse here.

All of our items must pass functionality testing. Each device that we sell, may be in a different cosmetic condition.
There are 2 main ways to get a better sense of the condition (of the product).

Firstly, the detailed photos & condition are available:

These are available for most of the products (when applicable).
They're aimed to be fair (though critical where needed), to give you a better sense of the condition.

If there is something else that you'd like to ask which we've not covered, simply get in contact with us.

Secondly, the Grading Shortcut (A / B+ / B / C) is available:

This feature was added to help narrowing down the relevant products more easily. It is a single score grade, that confirms that the product meets a minimal standards (across: the screen,the inside casing, the outside casing & the amount of battery % remaining). The area which receives the lowest grading, then becomes the overall grading. For instance, if the screen is a Grade B, but for all other 3 areas are Grade A, it would be marketed as a Grade B laptop.

What the Grading Shortcut (A / B+ / B / C) means:

Grade A:

This is best described as 'Like-new'. This means that the laptop is almost new or open-box. The laptop may have very small wears and/or marks, however these must be very limited or almost unnoticeable.

Grade B+

This is a laptop with a very good condition screen. It may have some wear on the keypad, bezel or trackpad and could have some visible wear on the exterior such as the lid or base. Tests on the battery will show over 60% of the battery charge available.

Grade B

This describes a laptop with a good condition screen, with faint pressure marks, surface marks and up to 2 stuck pixels. It may have some wear on the keypad, bezel or trackpad and could have some visible wear on the exterior such as the lid or base. Tests on the battery will show over 60% of the battery charge available.

Grade C

This is used to describe any laptop with a screen that could be described as in a functional condition (visible pressure marks & surface marks, over 2 stuck pixels). There could be heavy wear on the keyboard, trackpad or palmrest and there may be heavy wear and small marks on the exterior such as the lid or base. Tests on the battery will show over 60% of the battery charge available.

Grading Shortcut (A / B+ / B / C) vs detailed description, what's better?

The Grading Shortcut is there to makes the initially narrowing down search easier. It's minimum standard focused.
The photos & detailed description will typically give you a better / fuller sense of the actual condition, once you've narrowed down the search. Many of our customers really enjoy this, as it gives them a closer sense of the product itself.

Pricing & VAT

Are the prices on the website inclusive VAT, or exclusive of VAT?

The price we quote on the website are inclusive of VAT, so there is no additional VAT charge to worry about.

Can I claim back the VAT on purchases on the GreenGreen Store?

1. If you're eligible to claim-back the UK VAT normally (e.g. you're a VAT registered company or a similar entity), then you should be able to reclaim the VAT, if the item is sold as "Standard VAT" (as in it includes the 20% VAT). Some of the items on the GreenGreen Store is sold on the Standard VAT.

2. If a product, however, is sold on the VAT Margin Scheme, then you cannot claim the VAT back (the VAT is included in the price, but cannot be separately displayed).

3. If you're a private individual, this does not affect you. The price you see is the price you pay.

What is standard VAT?

Goods sold on this includes the 20% VAT & if you’re a VAT registered business you may be able to claim this back.

What is the VAT Margin Scheme?

This is frequently used for second hand goods / refurbished products - where the price you see includes the VAT, but the VAT cannot be claimed back, nor displayed separately on the invoice.

How do I know which one it's sold on?

The item description will confirm which VAT an item is sold on. Additionally, on our website, there is a filter to quickly find the laptops you need.

How does the VAT Margin Scheme affect you?

If you’re a consumer, then it doesn’t affect you at all. The price you see is the price you pay.

If you're a VAT registered businesses (or other such organisation that could normally claim back the VAT on eligible purchases), then you will not be able to claim back the VAT on the goods sold on the VAT margin scheme.

I'm buying for business, does it make sense to buy on VAT Margin?

This depends on the item. You may sometimes find it more economical to buy the same product on the Standard VAT Scheme. That said, our product's pricing are benchmarked regularly (so it often could still makes sense to buy, even if it's on the VAT Margin Scheme, where you cannot reclaim the VAT).

We recognise that businesses (B2B), and household consumers (B2C) often need different products. As a result, we’re gradually stocking more business focused laptops on the Standard VAT scheme, whilst keeping the VAT margin scheme range for the consumers.
