Stage 2 Draft - Terms of Service
Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Outsource Repairs website and your purchase or use of products, repair services, modifications, and other services provided by Outsource Repairs.
By accessing our website, placing an order, creating an account, or submitting a device for service, you agree to these Terms of Service.
Products and Services
Outsource Repairs provides electronics repair services, controller modifications and upgrades, replacement parts, upgraded electronic assemblies, repair tools, supplies, and related products.
We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, limit, or refuse products or services where reasonably necessary.
Product descriptions, compatibility information, photographs, specifications, and pricing are provided as accurately as reasonably possible. Customers are responsible for reviewing product compatibility and service requirements before placing an order.
Orders and Payment
Every Shopify order is manually invoiced through Square, which is separate from and not connected to Shopify. Customers do not complete ordinary payment through Shopify. Physical products ship after invoice payment. Mail-in repairs are invoiced after repair completion and returned after invoice payment. You may combine physical products and mail-in services in one order.
Orders may be canceled or refunded if:
-
A product is unavailable
-
An incorrect price or product description was published
-
Payment cannot be processed
-
An order is suspected of fraud or unauthorized activity
-
We determine that we cannot reasonably provide the requested product or service
Prices may change without notice. Changes do not affect orders that have already been completed and paid unless otherwise required by law.
Product Compatibility
Customers are responsible for verifying that replacement parts, logic boards, controller components, tools, and other products are compatible with their device before installation.
Many electronics use different hardware revisions that may appear similar but are not interchangeable.
Product listings identify the models and revisions supported by the specific offering.
Please contact Outsource Repairs before ordering if you are uncertain about compatibility.
Customer-Installed Parts
Installation of electronic components requires appropriate technical knowledge, tools, and procedures.
Outsource Repairs is not responsible for damage resulting from improper installation, incorrect installation, excessive heat, soldering damage, electrical damage, incorrect connections, physical damage, modification, misuse, or installation into an incompatible device.
Installation of a part does not automatically establish that a subsequently discovered problem was caused by a defect in the part.
If you believe a product supplied by Outsource Repairs is defective, please contact us so the issue can be evaluated.
Modified and Upgraded Products
Certain products sold by Outsource Repairs may be professionally modified, refurbished, upgraded, calibrated, or assembled using original and replacement components.
Examples may include controller logic boards upgraded with TMR joystick modules or other aftermarket components.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, modified products should not be interpreted as new, factory-original assemblies.
Outsource Repairs is an independent repair and parts provider. References to manufacturers, brands, product names, model numbers, and trademarks are used for identification and compatibility purposes.
Mail-In Repair Services
By submitting a device to Outsource Repairs, you authorize us to perform the repair, modification, diagnostic, testing, and related procedures reasonably necessary to complete the service you ordered.
Mail-in repair services are generally processed within the time frame stated on the applicable service listing or Shipping & Returns page. Turnaround estimates are not guaranteed and may be affected by parts availability, diagnostic findings, device condition, shipping delays, or other circumstances.
Mail-in service is available only within the United States. Place your Shopify order first; private mailing instructions and the applicable address are provided after the order is placed. Customers pay inbound shipping. For a successfully completed initial repair, return shipping is included in the advertised service price, paid by Outsource Repairs, with no additional initial return-shipping charge.
Device Condition and Pre-Existing Damage
Electronic devices submitted for repair may contain pre-existing damage, previous repairs, corrosion, missing components, damaged connectors, stripped screws, modified circuitry, weakened plastics, or other conditions that are not immediately visible.
Outsource Repairs is not responsible for pre-existing defects or damage unrelated to the service we perform.
If additional problems are discovered that materially affect the requested repair, we will contact you for approval before performing additional work that would result in additional charges.
Data and Customer Devices
Customers are responsible for backing up important data before submitting a device for service whenever possible.
Although reasonable care is taken when handling customer devices, repair and diagnostic procedures can involve circumstances where stored data may become inaccessible or lost.
Outsource Repairs is not responsible for loss of data except where liability cannot legally be excluded.
Customers should remove unnecessary passwords, personal information, accessories, SIM cards, memory cards, or other items that are not required for the requested service.
Abandoned Devices
Customers are responsible for responding to communications regarding their repair and providing any payment, authorization, shipping information, or other information reasonably necessary to complete or return the device.
Devices that remain unclaimed for an extended period may be considered abandoned where permitted by applicable law.
Before treating a device as abandoned, Outsource Repairs will make reasonable efforts to contact the customer using the contact information associated with the order.
Any handling of abandoned property will be performed in accordance with applicable law.
Returns
Physical product returns are governed by our Shipping & Returns Policy.
New products must be returned in new, unused, and uninstalled condition to qualify for a standard return.
Used products are eligible for return within the applicable 30-day return period.
Installed parts are generally non-returnable. Unused logic boards may be returned according to our Shipping & Returns policy.
Outsource Repairs covers return shipping for verified defective products.
Unsuccessful Mail-In Repairs
If a device cannot be repaired and no repair payment has been collected, we invoice only the cost of returning the unrepaired device and return it after that shipping charge is paid. If repair payment has already been collected, we refund that payment minus the cost of return shipping and return the device. No repair or service charge is collected for an unsuccessful repair unless you separately authorize other approved work. This rule is separate from successful initial repairs and warranty shipping.
Completed Mail-In Service Refunds
Completed mail-in repair and modification services are not eligible for standard returns or refunds once the service has been performed.
If an eligible problem occurs with a repair or modification performed by Outsource Repairs, it will be addressed through the applicable warranty service.
Warranty
Certain products, repairs, and modifications include warranty coverage.
Warranty duration and coverage may vary by product or service.
Warranty coverage does not generally include damage caused by accidents, misuse, improper installation, unauthorized modification, physical damage, liquid damage, electrical damage, or problems unrelated to the product or service originally provided.
Please review our separate Warranty Policy for complete warranty terms.
Shipping
Shipping terms are governed by our Shipping & Returns Policy.
Physical products include free standard shipping where stated.
Private mail-in instructions are provided after your Shopify order is placed. Successful initial repair shipping, unsuccessful repairs and warranty claims follow the separate rules above and in our Shipping & Returns and Warranty policies.
International mail-in repair services are not offered. Physical products may be ordered internationally where configured shipping services support the destination.
