Routine Repairs: For an additional non-refundable fee of $3,000, we prioritize your device, often resulting in same-day service, though this is not guaranteed. Non-Routine Repairs: Rush service is not available, as we prioritize thorough diagnosis and repair quality. Data Recovery: A $15,000 RUSH DATA pass expedites the process to approximately 2 weeks, allocating additional resources to prioritize your data recovery. Please contact us to confirm rush service availability.

Routine Repairs (e.g., connectors, simple backlight issues): 1 to 7 business days. Non-Routine Repairs: Depending on complexity and queue, 7 business days or more. Data Recovery: Approximately 6 weeks, or 2 weeks with the rush option. These timelines are estimates and may vary due to unforeseen circumstances. We strive to maintain efficiency while ensuring quality.

If you approve a repair and Prismatic Technology is unable to successfully repair the reported primary fault, you will not be charged labour for the unsuccessful repair attempt. A J$1,000 bench fee applies for intake and evaluation. You may settle the bench-fee invoice or choose to contribute the device for use as a donor board. If a refund is issued for an unsuccessful attempted repair, the J$1,000 bench fee will be deducted from the refund.

Diagnostic Fee and Repair Price Ceiling: Diagnosis is part of Prismatic Technology’s repair process. Once diagnosis identifies a repair solution, Prismatic will provide the accurate repair price for the reported primary fault. If you cancel the authorised repair after diagnosis and before repair work begins, a Diagnostic Fee equal to 50% of the accurate repair price applies. Prismatic will not quote a repair price above 50% of the device’s fair market value in its present condition, so the Diagnostic Fee will not exceed 25% of that value.

Data Recovery: Devices with prior micro-soldering repair attempts (e.g., de-soldered shields) incur an additional $30,000 JMD fee due to increased complexity and reduced recovery likelihood. Other Repairs: Any prior micro-soldering logic board repair attempt adds an $8,000 fee to account for added complexity. These fees are included in the estimate provided after diagnosis.

Payment is due within 21 days of repair completion. Unpaid invoices incur an $8,000 storage fee and a 5% delayed payment fee every 21 days until settled. Devices unpaid after 90 days may be considered abandoned, used for parts, or sold to cover costs. By engaging our services, you agree to these terms. Rejected payments (e.g., declined checks) add a $5,500 fee, and unpaid balances after 30 days may be sent to collections, with additional fees possible.

Diagnostic fees are separate from repair costs and apply as follows:

• If a solution is found and you cancel the authorised repair after diagnosis but before repair work begins: a Diagnostic Fee equal to 50% of the accurate repair price, capped at 25% of the device’s fair market value.
• If you cancel diagnostic work before a solution is found: only the applicable disclosed bench fee and any non-refundable rush fee apply.
• If no solution is found: no diagnostic fee based on a repair price applies; any disclosed bench-fee terms remain applicable.

Once a repair is completed and you are notified, cancellation is considered a refusal to pay. You remain liable for the full invoice amount. Failure to pay within 21 days incurs an $8,000 storage fee and a 5% delayed payment fee every 21 days. After 90 days, unpaid devices may be deemed abandoned and used for parts or sold to cover costs.

If notification of repair completion is not provided, payment terms (e.g., 21-day period, late fees, abandonment) do not apply until you are notified. Once notified, standard terms begin from that date. Payment for completed repairs remains obligatory.

Our “no fix = no fee” policy specifically applies solely to the primary issue. In cases where your device reveals an underlying secondary issue, we will present you with various choices: you can opt to include a secondary repair, or alternatively, choose to have the device returned with only the primary problem addressed. It’s important to note that secondary issues are not eligible for the “no fix = no fee” arrangement pertaining to the primary repair. To illustrate, if we successfully resolve a no-touch problem on your device, but subsequently discover an issue with functional Wi-Fi, this qualifies as a secondary issue and the charges for the no-touch solution would still apply. Secondary issues refer to additional problems or defects that are discovered in a device after the primary problem has been addressed or during the repair process. These issues are distinct from the main or primary problem that prompted the repair in the first place. For example, let’s say you brought in your smartphone because the screen was cracked and not displaying properly (the primary problem). After fixing the screen, the engineer realizes that the Face ID feature is not working (a secondary issue). In this scenario, the cracked screen is the primary problem that you initially sought to have fixed, while the Face ID issue is an additional problem that was uncovered during the repair process. In the context of the policy you mentioned earlier, the “no fix = no fee” policy applies exclusively to the primary problem. If the engineer discovers secondary issues while working on the device, the policy wouldn’t necessarily cover the repair of those secondary problems at no cost. This means you might be charged for addressing the secondary issue.

If the device is not repairable, we can send it back to you or recycle it here locally and refund your deposit, minus a $1,000 bench fee for the time we spent attempting to repair it.

Upon completion of a repair, we generate an invoice in our system, which is emailed to you and accessible in your account when logged in. Payment can be made online by card using the provided link or via our website. Once the invoice is paid, your device will be shipped back to you. If the device is deemed unrepairable (“No Fix”), you may choose to pay for return shipping or donate the device for parts.

Our “no fix = no fee” policy applies only to the primary issue. If a secondary defect is discovered, we will offer options to repair it or return the device with only the primary issue fixed. Secondary issues do not qualify for the “no fix = no fee” policy, and charges for the primary repair apply. For example, resolving a touch issue but discovering non-functional Wi-Fi would still incur charges for the touch repair.

Prismatic Technology is not liable for any accidental or intentional damage to devices or components left in our possession. We take every precaution to handle your property with care, but unforeseen damage is a risk you acknowledge when submitting your device.

Scenario:
A customer brings in a water-damaged iPhone that occasionally powers on but randomly restarts. During the diagnostic process, the technician carefully opens the device, but due to severe corrosion on the motherboard (which was not visible externally), a section of the board shorts out completely, and the device becomes completely unresponsive.

Although the engineer followed standard procedures and handled the device with care, the pre-existing internal damage caused the device to fail during the process.

Application of the Clause:
In this case, Prismatic Technology would not be liable for the damage that occurred while the device was in their possession, because:

• The damage was not caused by negligence,

• The risk was present due to the device’s initial condition,

• The customer acknowledged this risk by submitting the device.

Warranty And Rush Service If your device is covered under warranty and you bring it in for repair under warranty, you will not automatically receive rushed service. Prismatic Technology offers an expedited service option for routine repairs for an additional fee of $3,000, which prioritizes your repair in the queue and aims to reduce waiting times. However, this expedited service is not automatically provided for warranty repairs. Warranty repairs are typically handled according to the terms of the warranty, which means the standard warranty service will be provided. If you want the expedited service for your warranty repair, you would need to inquire with Prismatic Technology if this option is available for warranty repairs and if there are any additional fees associated with it. In summary, warranty repairs are subject to the standard warranty terms, and any rush or expedited service would likely come at an extra cost and may not be automatically included in warranty repairs.

Warranty: All board-level repair services are guaranteed by our industry-leading lifetime warranty. Our guarantee covers the primary issue (or issues) that we repaired but does not cover the entire device. Accidental liquid, charger, or drop damage after you have received the device is also not covered. If your repair fails within three months and we cannot correct the defect in workmanship, we will refund you the cost of the repair. Beyond the three months, if we cannot correct the defect in the workmanship, we will issue store credit for the cost of the repair. We only send out robust repairs and have a very low rate of warranty problems. If your repair fails during the warranty period we are happy to take a look at it and see what we can do. You pay for return shipping to us and if there is a warranty issue, then we cover return shipping back to you. A warranty doesn’t mean that you will automatically get a refund or a new device if the product or service is defective, Prismatic Technology is entitled to fix the device first. On the other hand, if you reported a defect to Prismatic Technology during the warranty period and the product wasn’t fixed properly, Prismatic Technology will correct the problem, even if your warranty expires before the product is fixed. Warranty claims must be reported within the warranty period. LCD Screen: the limited lifetime warranty covers all manufacturer issues on the screens such as touch sensitivity issues, dead pixels, etc. Any and all physical damage or liquid damage of any capacity on the screen will void the warranty provided. Screen protectors: or tempered glass are not covered by warranty, if your LCD is being replaced under warranty Prismatic Technology will not replace the screen protector.

Our board-level repair services are backed by a lifetime warranty covering the primary issue(s) repaired. The warranty does not extend to the entire device or cover accidental damage (e.g., liquid, charger, or drop damage) post-repair. If a repair fails within three months and we cannot correct the defect, we will refund the repair cost. Beyond three months, we offer store credit for uncorrectable defects. Data loss is not covered, so we recommend backing up your device before sending it. Complimentary repairs are evaluated case-by-case and are not covered under warranty. If a warranty issue persists beyond the warranty period and was reported within it, we will address it. All claims must be reported during the warranty period.

If a device submitted for warranty service has issues not covered by the warranty, we will transition it to repair status to address the problem efficiently. You will be notified of the issue and provided with repair options, including an estimate for the additional service, subject to our standard pricing and approval process.

If a repair does not resolve the primary issue, you may return the device for further repair. If we cannot fix it, we will refund the repair cost, excluding issues unrelated to our service. Shipping charges are non-refundable. For unrepairable devices, you may pay return shipping or donate the device, with a $1,000 bench fee deducted from any refund.

To ensure a comprehensive evaluation and proper functioning of all features (including cameras, microphones, speakers, sensors, Wi-Fi, GPS, Biometrics, and flashlight) during the pre-repair, repair, and post-repair stages, we kindly request your passcode. Your passcode facilitates thorough testing. It’s important to note that if we are unable to conduct these tests before returning the device to you, we regrettably cannot extend a warranty on the repair. If you’re comfortable proceeding without a warranty, we’re content with not requiring your passcode. We understand that you may have concerns about your data privacy. In such cases, we recommend performing a complete backup using iTunes/iCloud and subsequently restoring your phone to its factory settings prior to sending it to us. If you choose this route, please ensure your phone is iCloud unlocked, devoid of a passcode, and has completed the setup process, allowing us access to the home screen. If you face any challenges while following these instructions or if you seek additional clarification regarding the handling of your sensitive data, we encourage you to refer to our Data Privacy and Security Policy page for more detailed guidance.

If child pornography or evidence of abuse is detected on a device, Prismatic Technology will immediately contact the authorities. We maintain strict compliance with legal and ethical standards.

Prismatic Technology reserves the right to refuse service for any reason, ensuring our operations align with our policies and values. You will be notified if we are unable to proceed with your request.

For devices with water or fire damage, we offer data recovery services only. Liquid damage can cause long-term issues, and while data recovery may succeed, the device’s functionality is not guaranteed. Repairs for such damage are not covered under our warranty due to the risk of future failure. Our focus is on retrieving your data.

Data recovery focuses on retrieving data by repairing the device’s logic board, but we cannot guarantee the device’s functionality post-recovery. We offer a “no data = no fee” guarantee: if we cannot recover your data, no charges apply. If successful, we return the device (potentially non-functional or partially functional) and retain a local data copy until you confirm safe receipt. Timelines are approximately 6 weeks, or 2 weeks with the rush option.

We require your passcode to test all device features (e.g., cameras, microphones, sensors, Wi-Fi, GPS, biometrics, flashlight) before, during, and after repair to ensure quality. Without testing, we cannot offer a warranty. If you prefer no warranty, a passcode is not required. For privacy, we recommend backing up your device via iTunes/iCloud, restoring it to factory settings, and ensuring it is iCloud unlocked, passcode-free, and set up to the home screen before sending it to us.

Data loss is a potential risk during electronic repairs, and Prismatic Technology is not responsible for any loss. We strongly recommend backing up your device before sending it to us, as all data remains your sole responsibility.
