Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 15th March 2025

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") set out the rules for using our website and for purchasing and using our Services.

Please review our Terms and Conditions before booking. They clearly explain how appointments, amendments and cancellations work (free ≥24 hours; £20 charge within 24 hours), our No-Fix-No-Fee commitment with a £20 call-out, when and how you pay, our 90-day labour warranty, what we need from you (backups, access), and how we address complaints—alongside a summary of your rights and our liability position.

1) About us and how to contact us

TechSerks LTD (company number 15859568).
Registered/trading address: (to be displayed on our Contact page).
Email: info@techserks.co.uk.

We provide on‑site and remote computer repair for home users and IT support for small businesses across London, Essex and Kent (the Services).

These Terms apply in addition to any written quotation we issue to you. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights.

2) Definitions

  • "Appointment" – a confirmed booking for an on‑site visit or remote session.

  • "Call‑out" – attendance at your premises for diagnosis/repair.

  • "Consumer" – an individual acting wholly or mainly outside their trade or profession.

  • "Business customer (B2B)" – any non‑consumer client (e.g., a company, sole trader or partnership purchasing for business use).

3) Scope of Services

We diagnose, repair and optimise Windows/macOS desktops and laptops; set up home/office networks and peripherals; and provide remote troubleshooting using Zoho Assist. We do not provide unlawful services or work on unlicensed/counterfeit software. Some services (for example data recovery) are provided on a best‑efforts basis without a guarantee of success.

4) Bookings, amendments & cancellations

4.1 Making a booking

You can book via our website or by phone/email. We will confirm your Appointment by email/SMS.

4.2 No‑Fix‑No‑Fee (with £20 call‑out)

If we attend your premises and cannot fix the fault, you will not pay for our labour. You will pay the £20 call‑out charge, which covers technician scheduling, travel and allocated time.

No‑Fix‑No‑Fee does not apply where:

  • you decline a recommended repair/part or software reinstall that would resolve the issue;

  • the fault is intermittent and not present when we attend;

  • the device is beyond economical repair (e.g., severe liquid/impact damage);

  • you cannot provide required admin access, passwords or valid licences;

  • the issue is due to unsupported/illegal software or to faulty/incompatible customer‑supplied parts;

  • the problem is outside our remit (for example an ISP/network outage or third‑party service failure) or safety prevents work;

  • the device is unavailable or you booked the wrong service.

4.3 Amendments & cancellations (our policy)

  • 24+ hours’ notice: Free to cancel or reschedule.

  • Less than 24 hours: £20 call‑out charge applies.

  • No‑show (we attend and you are unavailable): we charge the full service price.

4.4 Legal cooling‑off (distance/off‑premises contracts – consumers only)

If you book as a consumer by phone or online, you usually have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start within 14 days, you agree to pay proportionate costs for work performed up to cancellation and you understand that once the service is fully performed, the right to cancel is lost.
Urgent repairs/maintenance: where you specifically request an urgent repair/maintenance visit, the cooling‑off right does not apply to that urgent work (it may still apply to any additional services or goods supplied at the same time).

  • Prices and any call‑out charges (including the £20 call‑out) are communicated before you confirm your booking.

  • Consumers: pay by Wix Payments on completion, unless otherwise agreed.

  • Business clients: our standard invoice terms are Net 14 days from invoice date. We may conduct credit checks for larger jobs.

  • Late B2B invoices: may accrue statutory interest (8% + Bank of England base rate) and fixed recovery costs, or any alternative late‑payment clause agreed in writing.

5) Pricing & payment

6) Your responsibilities

  • Backups: Please back up your data before we work. We take reasonable care, but you are responsible for safeguarding your data.

  • Access & presence: ensure an adult (18+) is present; provide safe access, power and internet.

  • Licences & passwords: provide necessary admin rights and proof of licence.

  • Parking: we do not charge extra if on‑site parking is unavailable, but please tell us about any restrictions when booking so we can plan accordingly.

  • Remote sessions: during Zoho Assist sessions we may view system information to diagnose issues. You can end the session at any time.

7) Parts & authorisations

  • We can source parts on your behalf and recharge you at cost; or you may supply your own parts.

  • Manufacturer parts: are covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee; we will assist you in making warranty claims where reasonable. Your statutory rights are unaffected.

  • Customer‑supplied parts: we are not responsible for defects, incompatibility or quality issues in parts you provide unless caused by our negligence. Additional labour to re‑fit/replace faulty customer‑supplied parts may be chargeable.

8) Warranty on our work

We provide a 90‑day labour warranty on the specific work performed. It does not cover unrelated new faults, accidental damage, malware or misuse after the repair, or manufacturer defects in parts (which are covered by the manufacturer). This warranty is in addition to your legal rights.

9) Remote support (Zoho Assist)

By booking a remote session, you authorise us to connect to your device. We may keep audit logs/notes for security and quality. Please close confidential materials before we connect. We will never access personal content beyond what is necessary to perform the service.

10) Intellectual property

All documentation, diagnostics and materials we create remain our intellectual property unless we agree otherwise in writing. Upon payment, you receive a non‑exclusive licence to use any deliverables we provide for their intended purpose.

11) Liability

11.1 Consumers (B2C)

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory rights (including our duty to use reasonable care and skill). We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss where the law allows. We are not responsible for data loss unless caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill. Please make backups.

11.2 Business clients (B2B)

Our total liability arising out of or in connection with the Services is limited to the total fees paid in the 12 months before the claim, excluding fraud, wilful misconduct and liabilities that cannot be excluded by law. We exclude loss of profit, revenue, goodwill or indirect losses to the extent permitted by law.

12) Complaints & ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution)

If you are unhappy, please email privacy@techserks.co.uk and we will try to resolve it quickly. If we still cannot resolve a dispute, we will provide details of a certified ADR body (for example, ProMediate (UK) Limited or RetailADR) that could handle the dispute. We are not obliged to use ADR and may decide case‑by‑case whether to engage.

13) Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version published on our website at the time you make a booking applies to your order.

14) Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

15) Privacy & cookies

Your personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Cookie information, available on our website.
