Introduction

We have done everything possible to make these repair conditions easy to read and understand. In
However, given the particularities of the repair services, they end up being extensive and
Meticulous in some points.
We have underlined the conditions that we consider most important to the customer, without
downplay the importance of the other conditions that you should also take into account.
Admission
Whenever possible, all equipment is subject to admission testing before giving
entrance for repair. These tests are used exclusively to detect other possible anomalies
to be repaired. The non-detection of anomalies at the time of the admission tests is not
Any indication that the equipment has no anomalies in the tested components or in other
components that are impossible to test. Micro Wire’s admission tests are not suitable for
as a guarantee of the correct functioning of the equipment.

Diagnosis

Diagnostics on Micro Wire are free of charge.
The result of the diagnosis is obtained by a substitution resolution methodology. That is, always
that the detected problem is solved by replacing a component, and during the
As long as the equipment remains at Micro Wire’s facility, it is assumed that the problem will be
finds in that component, until proven otherwise.
If the customer chooses to repair based on the diagnosis provided, they will have 14 days to confirm
whether the problem has been resolved, according to the conditions detailed later in the section
“Reparation”.
In this way, we reduce the time that the customer is without access to their equipment, preventing
have to leave the equipment at the Micro Wire facility for diagnostic validation.

Repair Time

Any repair time provided or advertised is always a prediction based on
ideal repair conditions. Unfortunately it is impossible to guarantee with an absolute degree of certainty
that a particular repair is completed in a certain period of time.
Although Micro Wire will do everything in its power to complete the repair within the
time, is not responsible for any damage resulting from non-compliance with the time
of planned repair.

Reparation

Sometimes, certain components may be in a state of imminent rupture, which can worsen
or carry out during an intervention on the equipment (e.g. cables to tear, cracked solder, chip in the
motherboard to de-solder from the board, etc.). There may also be other anomalies that are not
possible to detect before the intervention. As such, after the intervention on the equipment, the Micro
Wire is not responsible for anomalies detected in components other than those repaired or repaired.
intervened by Micro Wire.
Micro Wire is not responsible for minor cosmetic damage caused to the equipment during
repair, provided that they do not compromise the correct functioning of the equipment, and
do not occupy an area greater than 2% of the total outdoor area of the equipment.
If the problem that caused the repair persists after the equipment has been collected from the
MicroWire installations, the customer may, within 14 days of the repair, request the
refund of the value of the repair, where Micro Wire will reverse the repair and refund the amount paid.
To make this possible, the customer must keep the replaced parts during the testing period
and be accompanied by them when requesting a return. If you don’t already have the parts
with you, or you did not ask for them when you picked up the equipment, Micro Wire may place
parts that have yet to be sent for recycling, with no guarantee of availability or
state of the same.
The value of the Labor (Intervention) is only returned when all parts replaced in that
intervention are also returned.
In particular, it is incumbent on us to inform you that the replacement of the battery of a device is not always

often with the use of unofficial/certified charging accessories, or
unstable power sources (e.g., automobiles, external batteries, old computers, etc.).
Equipment repaired by Micro Wire may lose IP67 and IP68 certification (resistance
liquids), where applicable.

Unforeseen

Given the particularities of the services provided by Micro Wire, unforeseen events may occur
during the time the equipment is being repaired at Micro Wire’s facilities.
If the customer’s equipment that has been admitted for repair is lost (e.g. theft),
destroyed (e.g. fire), damaged (e.g. peak current) or unusable (e.g. incident during the
Micro Wire undertakes to compensate the customer with one of the following 3 options:
• Repair the damage
• return equipment with the same or higher characteristics, in the same or
superior state of conservation, within a maximum period of 30 days after the occurrence of the
incident.
• indemnify the customer in the expected value (EV) of the equipment, the calculation of which is explained further
below.
Any of the options presented will completely compensate the customer by competing only
to Micro Wire to choose one of the options.
The expected value (EV) of the equipment will be the greater of the following:
EV = Acquisition Value x (1 – (Number of Days since Acquisition Date / (4 x 365))
EV = Acquisition Value x 0.2
In short, the Expected Value of the equipment is reduced by 25% per year up to a minimum of 20%,
both in relation to the acquisition value.
For the calculation given Expected Value, a valid invoice issued by a certified program is required
billing with IMEI or Serial Number of the device. If there is no invoice, it is considered
as acquisition date and acquisition value the first day a model with the same
features was put up for sale to the public and its sale value, respectively.
Micro Wire is not responsible for lost personal data or any other damages
resulting from the occurrence of unforeseen events.

etc.)
• Screen illegibility with polarized glasses
• Natural wear and tear
• Anomalies that only occur in certain versions of the machine’s operating system
In the case of Batteries, a loss of capacity of up to 1% every 20 is considered a natural wear and tear

The warranty applies only to parts replaced and services performed.
It is important to note that the shock resistance of a repaired or replaced part will never be the same as the shock resistance of a repaired or replaced part.

that is the physical damage caused to the part and regardless of whether it occurred immediately after the repair
or at the end of the warranty, it will make the warranty of the part unfeasible.

Survey
The equipment must be picked up by the customer within a maximum period of 90 (ninety) days after the
completion of the repair.
The completion of the Repair is communicated to the customer at the contact details provided at the time of the
equipment admission. If no contact has been provided, or if they are
found to be incorrect, the repair is deemed to have been completed 30 days after the admission of the
equipment.
If the Client does not pick up the equipment during the established period, the
equipment is automatically considered to be abandoned, entering a process of
recycling or destruction.
Micro Wire disclaims any and all responsibility for abandoned equipment.
When picking up their equipment at our facilities, the customer has the

carrier. If the value of the object to be transported is greater than €1000, the compensation will be in the
maximum of €1000. If the customer does not agree, they must send the equipment to Micro Wire
by their own means.
In case of damage caused to the equipment during transport, the customer accepts the conclusion
resulting from the enquiries carried out by the carrier, excluding Micro Wire from any
responsibility. Only the carrier will be able to ascertain whether the damage was actually caused by the
poor transport, if this was due to poor packaging or if the damage was already

For compensation purposes, the carrier needs a document proving the value of the
equipment. If the customer does not have a document proving the value of the equipment, he must
get the equipment to MicroWire by other means.
Micro Wire is not responsible for lost personal data or any other damages
