Please note that whilst Nerdcore Computers provides industry best practice techniques, and has a high level of success and customer satisfaction, customers need to be aware and adhere to the following conditions of trade

 

 

 

​

TERMS OF TRADE 

​

‘Customer’ refers to the original singular entity only and is strictly related to the entity the service(s) is/are booked under. Where a business arranges a service, the contact person nominated by the business is responsible for accepting these terms and must be authorised on the business’s behalf to accept such terms and all relations to the entity are bound by such terms. Please note that the business (i.e. customer) is thus bound by these conditions as well the nominated person and related parties to the business. A contractor who contracts work to Bat Tech is expected to adequately inform all related parties to the job of these terms and conditions. Nerdcore Computers will only require the initial main contractor to accept these terms for full acceptance by relevant parties. This is to ensure no conflict with other terms of trade in place between other related parties.

​

‘Nerdcore Computers’ relates to nerdcore computers employees, direct contractors, or other related parties that are engaged to perform services under the Nerdcore trading business name. Where another entity performs services to a customer on nerdcore behalf but under their own trading name (i.e. in a subcontractor capacity) any warranty or guarantee between Bat Tech and the customer do not apply. i.e. any terms of trade are between the customer and sub-contractor only.

​

On site work is covered by a strictly 30 days warranty and is strictly limited to the original problems presented. Where other problems may present themselves after the original service, these will only be covered if a direct relationship can be established to the original service and is at nerdcore computers discretion.

​

These terms are dependent on the items in which the agreement adheres to only being directly or indirectly connected to a power point through a surge arrestor, the computer case or other enclosures not being opened by any other person or entity, the items not sustaining damage through an entities actions whether accidental or deliberate, the items not be subjected to conditions or environments that will aid in fault and/or damage nerdcore reserves the right to deny any guarantee/warranty claim that it deems to be unreasonable, abusing the warranty terms, or are deemed detrimental to nerdcore ability to provide it’s services to other clients, or for applicably just reasons.

​

nerdcore will act in best faith for the client, however, it is expected the client will take precautions to protect the items guaranteed against damage and/or fault. This includes customers taking full responsibility of their data, operating the system with in appropriate environmental capacities, and avoiding any events that may damage the system.

​

Nerdcore Computers is not liable at any time for loss of data, productivity, costs, or other negative events brought to a client through services carried out by nerdcore.

​

Nerdcore computers may occasionally make changes to these terms. These changes take effect from when customers are serviced after the changes | customers who are serviced before any changes are still covered by the terms that were stated here-in when they were serviced.

Applicable statutory regulations and laws may over-ride terms set here

​

These terms are set to provide protection for nerdcore whilst allowing add-on benefits to customers. nerdcore reserves the right to provide extra services or extension of claims for customers in good faith however such gestures do not void any other terms set here nor set precedence for further claims.

​

Agreement to these terms for an initial service assumes customer’s agreement to the terms for all future services provided by nerdcore. Customers must notify nerdcore in writing if they no longer agree to these terms in which case all services and warranties are cancelled until the customer accepts the terms again. Cancellation of these terms by a customer does not open Bat Tech to liability for work provided and waives all customer’s rights in relation to work provide.

Case Study

Examples only (outcomes may differ in individual cases):

Kara buys a second-hand computer from a Second hand dealer store on eBay. The photos clearly show the computer has surface scratches. Kara cannot claim a refund, repair or replacement for the surface scratches. However, she can do so if another fault develops, such as the hinge breaking. The item's age, price and condition must also be taken into account. 

Leticia buys a second-hand computer machine for $250. The store said it was two years old and in good condition but it breaks down after two months. Considering the age, price and condition of the machine, it was reasonable for Leticia to expect it to work for more than two months. She may be entitled to a refund.
