You can choose to continue the sale for the revised value or reject it. To accept or reject a revised value, either proceed or reject the revised value email by reply stating your intention to accept or reject. If you do not respond within 3 (three) working days, starting on the day on which we e-mail the revised value, we will automatically process your sale after that time, using the new price.

Damaged gadget(s) will be traded using the same process as for all other gadget(s). If we determine your gadget(s) is damaged or not of the grade that you initially specified when submitting your sale order, we may, at our discretion, pay for the damaged gadget(s) but the value will be less than indicated on our website during point of order and in most cases be £0.00. Accordingly, if a gadget which we receive is damaged, then we will value the gadget to take account of the damage (in accordance with our grading policy) and send a revised value by email. In some cases, values will be zero if gadget(s) are beyond economical repair. A revised value will only be given once the gadget(s) has been tested or inspected.

10. Value and payment

1. Gadget valuations e-mailed to you are indicative only and we are not obliged to pay the initially quoted value if, when we receive your gadget, we determine that it has a lower value if it fails to meet these Terms. Values are valid for 14 days from the date on which you place an order except that values may vary from those initially given on our website, as provided in these Terms. We may extend the period for which gadget values are valid for but shall not under any circumstances be obliged to do so.
2. Under no circumstances will payment be dispatched before we receive your gadget. Payment will currently be submitted via PayPal or on some occasions BACS although we have the right to state which of these is preferrable to us at the point of payment. Please be aware that charges may be made by PayPal or your Bank after we have sent payment and before this payment arrives with you and we will not be responsible or liable for any charges made by PayPal or your Bank.
   
3. Payment processing and timings depend on third parties which we do not control. For payment by PayPal this requires you to have a PayPal account and for BACS payments, a bank account. We will not be liable for delay in your receipt of payment as a result of third party action or inaction or once we have issued instructions for payment. We aim to issue instructions for payment within 48 hours of the day on which your gadget(s) is tested and confirmed to meet our Terms where valuations do not change; or within 48 hours of the expiry of the three day revalue period referred to above where a gadget value does change. Timescales are indicative only and we do not guarantee to meet them. We are advised by PayPal and banks that customers should allow 3-5 working days to receive payment. Please note we will send the full valuation payment and any postage credit for working items, although we are not responsible for any charges made by your bank or PayPal for us sending the funds using this method. Please be aware that PayPal can charge a small % fee upon receipt of funds and we are not liable or in control of these charges. If you need any additional information on this please see www.paypal.com
   
4. The criteria used to value gadgets are based on numerous factors including changes in market value. We may change the way in which we value gadgets at any time and without notice. Gadget values may change from day to day which means that if you receive a valuation of your gadget from us on any given day but we do not receive your gadget within 3 (three) working days of this valuation, you may be given a different value for the same gadget at a later time. This does not affect any other provisions in these Terms. Any special offers on gadget values are subject to particular terms which we may impose and may be varied or withdrawn at any time and without notice. Values are shown and payments are made in pounds sterling.
5. Each gadget is processed separately, even if included in a multiple gadget sale order. We may send payment for each gadget separately. Nothing shall oblige us to complete any transaction with you, make a payment or fulfil our obligation to you in accordance with these Terms if we become insolvent, enter into an arrangement with administrators or if anything similar occurs, in which case our agreement with you will end immediately.
6. Payments are also subject to validation and security checks which we or third parties may stipulate from time to time. Payments are non-transferable and will be made to the payee named as instructed in the sale order. If you would like someone else to receive payment, you must ensure you have all the correct details and authorisation. Payments will be sent in the case of postal payments to the address you stipulate when you set up your account. Payments sent in the post will be sent via second class Royal Mail post (3-5 days delivery time). Payments are made using the details which you provide. You must ensure that you provide all correct, accurate details, including without limit, payment and account details. We will not be liable if you fail to receive a payment or suffer a loss (including if a payment is sent to an incorrect account) as a result of your failure to input all payment and other details correctly, completely and accurately. In the case that a cheque duplicate needs to be raised due to incorrect details being input at the point of sale, you will be liable to cover all administrative fees issued for a duplicate cheque. The total value will be subtracted from any payments owing. If the administration fee is greater than the fee owed, no cheque payment will be sent as a result.
