1. 6.1	We can only arrange for collection of Devices from within Singapore.

7. 7.	Valuing your Product

1. 7.1

   You warrant that you will accurately describe the condition of your Devices so that we are able to provide an initial quotation before we are in receipt of, and able to, inspect the Device (the “Original Quotation”). The Original Quotation will be valid for a period of 14 days from the date it is issued to you (“Initial Period”). You may extend the validity of the Original Quotation within the Initial Period by a further period of 7 days from the end of the Initial Period (“Quote Validity Period”).

2. 7.2	We accept accessories such as chargers and headsets but these do not increase the value of your Device.

3. 7.3	Upon receipt of your Device, we will carry out an Inspection (as defined in clause 9.1). Any incorrect or inaccurate Device descriptions may result in us re-evaluating our Original Quotation to produce a Revised Quotation (as defined in clause 9.4).

4. 7.4

   Subject to clause 7.3, you must ensure that we are in receipt of the Devices within the Initial Period or Quote Validity Period as appropriate. If we are not in receipt of a Device with the Initial Period or Quote Validity Period as appropriate, we reserve the right to provide you with a Revised Quotation (as defined in clause 9.4), subject to the clauses 8 and 9 below.

8. 8.	Lost, Blocked, Stolen and Fake Devices and Pre-Pay Box Breaking

1. 8.1	For the purposes of these Terms “Fake” Devices are counterfeit Devices which are manufactured to resemble Devices made by another company in breach of the intellectual property rights of the genuine manufacturer.

2. 8.2

   In the case we are notified or suspect that the Device is either lost or stolen, we may request further proof of ownership of the Device. Additional proof of ownership may include, but is not limited to, receipts, tax invoices or carrier receipts. In the event that there is insufficient proof of ownership, the Device may be returned to you, or to the relevant authorities.

3. 8.3

   We may work with a number of agencies and service providers to enable us to check the IMEI of all Devices that are sent to us to confirm that they are not stolen. We may do this prior to confirming purchase. However, in the event that we become aware of any issues at any time, we reserve the right to withhold/cancel payment and you agree to co-operate with us and any authorities should we make such a request.

4. 8.4	We will make no payments to customers for Devices received which are either lost, stolen or Fake.

5. 8.5

   We reserve the right to inform the relevant authorities if there is any suspicion that there is a deliberate attempt to perpetrate a fraud. We reserve the right to reclaim any money paid to you if it is discovered within three months of the return of that Device that the Device has either been reported as a lost, stolen or the Device is discovered to be a Fake.

9. 9.	Inspection and Revised Quotation

1. 9.1	Once your Devices have been received by us, we will inspect the Device to check to see if it complies with the description that you provided to us originally (the “Inspection”).

2. 9.2

   The Inspection will focus on, amongst other things, the model and condition of the Device, the country of origin of the Device as well as the total number of Devices received by us. If the model, condition and/or origin are different to your original description, the Original Quotation will be adjusted in accordance with clause 9.4 below. Should our Inspection reveal that you have sent us a different model than the one that we provided an Original Quotation for, we will offer an amount for the different model based on the price displayed on the Site on the day that we are in receipt of the different model (subject to the condition of the Device). We may also adjust the Original Quotation if we decide to offer an amount for one or more but not all of the Devices received by us.

3. 9.3	We will have sole discretion in determining the appropriate condition, the model, the country of origin and price of the Device.

4. 9.4

   We will contact you via email or text to confirm the amount we will offer for such Device as adjusted, if necessary, by these Terms (the “Revised Quotation”). You will have 14 days from the date that we have sent the email or text in which to accept the Revised Quotation provided that we cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of emails because of spam email or junk filters. If you:

1. (a)	choose to decline the Revised Quotation within the 14 day period which has been provided because the condition of the Device is different to your original description, you may ask us to return the Device to you at no additional cost to you;

2. (b)

   choose to decline the Revised Quotation within the 14 day period which has been provided because the country of origin of the Device is different to your original description or for any other reason, you may ask us to return the Device to you at your cost. We will provide the applicable cost to you upon request and which must be paid before we return the Device to you; or

3. (c)	do not reply within 14 days of us sending the email or text, we will pay you the Revised Quotation.

5. Please allow for up to 10 working days to receive your returned Device. If for any reason we cannot send you back your original Device then we will be obliged to make payment for the Original Quotation (except to the extend such failure to send back the original Device to you has resulted from any act or omission of you).

6. 9.5	Under no circumstances can Devices be returned by us to you after the expiry of the 14 day period detailed in clause 9.4.

7. 9.6	Additional accessories that have been sent in with your Device which have not been requested by us cannot be returned to you.

10. 10.	How the Contract is formed between you and us

1. 10.1	Nothing on this Site constitutes an offer by us to sell or purchase any goods or services.

2. 10.2

   Sending Devices to us shall constitute an offer by you to sell such Devices to us in return for the Original Quotation (“Your Offer”).

Our acceptance of your Offer will take place as described in clause 10.3. We may also, in our sole discretion, cancel any trade-in order you place on the Site in which case the Devices relating to the order will not be collected by us.
