Your 12-Month Repair Warranty
All repairs (with the exception of software-related, battery and water-damaged devices) come with a 12-month warranty. Warranty excludes faults relating to physical or accidental damage, liquid ingress or if the device is opened whilst in your possession after we have carried out a repair. If the nature of the repair falls outside the terms of your warranty or guarantee, then you may incur a charge for the repair.
If you take your device to a third party after it has been repaired by Apple Repairs Kent, this will void your repair warranty on your device. This includes both repaired and purchased devices.
All software-related repairs will not be covered by our warranty.
The warranty only covers the original repair. For example, if we have fitted a new screen and the screen becomes faulty due to electronic failure, we will replace it under warranty. The warranty does not include accidental damage, misuse, liquid ingress or acts of nature to your repaired device.
If we have replaced the screen on your device and your repaired screen fails due to an electronic fault, we will cover it under warranty. If your repaired screen is cracked, damaged, broken, smashed or displays leaking ink, black/white spots, lines on screen, you will not be covered under the warranty. These faults are typical of excess force, accidental damage or dropping on the device. We rigorously test each newly fitted screen to ensure the repair has been completed correctly.
If any additional faults occur that are not related to the original repair this will not be covered under warranty and charges will incur.
