13.0 Defective Goods

13.1 The Company’s liability (both in contract and in tort) in respect of defects in goods shall be limited to the replacement of the faulty item(s), or the issue of a refund in respect thereof, or the granting of a refund, which is at The Company’s discretion.

13.3 Where the lcd panel has alleged defects of dead pixels, “the Company” may in its sole discretion replace the lcd screen if the screen is displaying 3 or more “dead pixels, stuck pixels or sub-pixel faults”. With production techniques today incorporating faults into the display technology during manufacture, the “ Company” cannot guarantee a screen with no dead pixels. This is because all laptop screens produced today are supplied from the manufacturers with a percentage of dead pixels acceptable as a feature of the technology of LCD that is used. This includes Class 1 screens. ISO 9421 aims to offer a standard for sellers to adhere to with regard to pixel faults. This standard allows different classes of screens to have a mixture of different pixel and sub pixel faults. We've simplified things and say 3 or more dead pixels or stuck pixels warrants a replacement. The “Company” is not obliged to replace the lcd screen during the warranty period if the screen has three dead pixels or less.

More information:
The majority of manufacturers do not consider up to 5 dead pixels a defect or a warranty issue. We purchase screens directly from the manufacturer and because of the volume of screens we sell we are not able to hand check every screen prior to despatch. However, if you are not completely satisfied with the quality of the screen you have received from us, please contact us within 14 days of receiving the screen. Dead pixels are not a determination of a poor quality screen. All replacement LCD screens on the market could potentially have or develop dead pixels even when new and class 1 products. This does not affect your statutory rights and screens can still be returned to us within 14 days of receipt for a refund, if they are unwanted. In this instance a RMA must be requested.

14.0 Chargebacks / fraud.

14.1 If the Buyer has purchased an item in error, is having problems with a transaction or the return of a product or any other difficulty, including the receiving of an product in error; The Company must be contacted in the first instance and immediate assistance will be provided to The Buyer.
14.2 Buyers who instigate fraudulent chargebacks will be reported to all major credit card rating agencies. In all cases where the chargeback is clearly fraudulent and with ill intent, The Company also reserves the right to file a report with the customer’s local police as this is a serious fraudulent criminal act.
14.3 The Buyer may be prosecuted under relevant local anti fraud laws or via internationally agreed European Laws.
14.4 The Company takes fraudulent crime very seriously and works closely with the local authorities to prosecute criminals involved in fraudulent activities.
14.5 Orders placed online will have the Buyer's IP address recorded in addition to other security checks The Company may decide to instigate and record, such as address verification checks and IP address location checks.
14.6 All orders sent out are trackable, and processed through a 3D secure gateway or via PayPal on the website.

Customers will be notified that they have thirty (30) days to pay in full, and if they do not, they will be processed by The Company’s' third-party collection agency.
14.8 The customer’s account will be reported to all credit rating agencies; this will seriously damage the customer’s credit rating for at least the next seven (7) years.
