1. Our responsibilities
1.1 The inspection turn around period is normally within 1-3 working days, under some circumstances, it may take longer due to the availability of parts. We will endeavour to keep customers fully informed during this period.

2.2 Customers should backup their data before sending their equipment to us for repair. We cannot accept any responsibility for data loss.
2.3 Any equipment kept on site by CRN for more than 2 weeks since the initial quotation, or issue of invoice will be scrapped without notice. A daily holding fee will be charged to customer a month after the quotation or invoice has been issued.
3. Warranty

Warranty will be void if our warranty label has been broken; the faults are different or unrelated to the original faults; if the equipment has been modified, or improperly handled.

4. Cost and Payment
4.1 Payment can be cash on collection or bank transfer prior to collection. Payment must be made before delivery or collection.
4.2 Cost will be agreed with you upon quote or estimate for the service required. Costs may change during the repair period due to unforeseen circumstances, and are not guaranteed by the quote or estimate. If at this point you wish to cancel the repair, you will still be liable for the work that had been done up to that point. This also implies the possibility that the machine won’t be fully repaired. ‘No Fix No Fee’ does not apply, you will always have to pay at least the inspection fee.
4.3 On failure to collect or make a payment for your repair within 1 month of the repairs completion, we reserve the right to take ownership of your equipment and to recycle, dispose of or sell the item in order to recover our costs.
4.4 On any work of any price we reserve the right to request a deposit before undertaking the repair.
4.5 If we say No Fix No Fee, we refer to repairs proposed by us, upon inspection or otherwise, which fail to address or correct the initial/current issues.
Any repairs proposed by the customer, will not be our responsibility. We simply carry out the work requested by the customer, which may or may not correct the initial/current issues.
Example of customer responsibility: Some keys don’t work on a laptop. The customer tells us to change the keyboard. The customer may or may not supply the parts. Once changed, these keys still don’t work. Customer still has to pay for the work carried out.
Example of No Fix No Fee: Some keys don’t work on a laptop. We assess it and determine the keyboard needs to be replaced. We replace the keyboard but the keys still don’t work. The customer is protected by the No Fix No Fee policy.
Example agreed responsibility: Some keys don’t work on a laptop. We assess it and determine the keyboard might need to be replaced. We let the customer know it could be the keyboard but it could also be the controller on the motherboard. The customer chooses to risk replacing the keyboard. It proves to be the controller. The customer still has to pay for the work carried out.
