We will provide a unique “Order Number” upon completion of each transaction. Please retain this Order Number for your records. You will need your Order Number for shipping and to track your transaction. Subsequently you will receive a “thank you for completing your order” email from us to act as a secondary method of confirmation that you have completed a transaction.

Once we have received your items, checked them and dispatched payment for them to you, then ownership of the items passes immediately and irrevocably to us. In addition, once you have received your payment from Decluttr, we may send you a user survey to complete.

 

We only accept items shipped from the U.S. and its territories or possessions. When selling your items, payment is made based on the value offered by Decluttr at the time of the transaction only and is subject to your items passing our quality checks (during our Quality Assessment process). (Please see the section below titled “Selling Your Stuff – Quality Assessment.”)

Decluttr’s valuations for products are the express property of Decluttr and the data for such valuations remains in their entirety vested in Decluttr. You agree, confirm and warrant that by valuing items on Decluttr’s websites (including Decluttr.com) or mobile applications or through other Decluttr Services, you are a member of the general public and NOT a business, organization, cooperative, trader or any other commercial user.

You expressly understand, accept and agree that Decluttr’s valuation or offer prices for products shall not be used by you on any other website(s)/mobile application(s) or on price comparison websites/services. You further agree that you will use Decluttr’s valuation services only to value (e.g., derive offer prices for) items that you actually own, or have the permission of the owner to sell, and are considering selling to Decluttr. No other uses of Decluttr’s valuation services are permitted.

For DVDs, CDs, Blu-Rays, Games and Books, the prices offered to you by us are valid for six (6) months from the date that such prices are offered to you and you complete a valid transaction with us. You understand, accept and agree that we may revalue your items if we do not process your items at our warehouse within the six-month period during which the offer price is valid. In the event that we do have to revalue your items, you hereby understand and agree to the new offer price(s) issued by smartphonebuyback during the revaluation (“New Offer Price”), as determined by us at our sole discretion, and you accept and acknowledge that we will process your items and our payment to you in accordance with the New Offer Price only. We may attempt to contact you via email in the event that this happens.

For Tech, the price offered to you is valid for twenty-eight (28) days from the date that the price is offered to you. If we do not receive and process your items in this period, we may revalue your items.

If the Tech item you send differs from the description you provided at the time of valuation (either in terms of make, model or condition), we may revalue your item. In this instance, we will email you with a revised offer price. You have a fourteen (14) day grace period to either accept or decline this new offer using the link in the email only. If you choose to accept the new offer, your order will be processed as normal at the new price. If you decline, we’ll return your items free of charge to the same address within the U.S. or its territories or possessions from which you shipped. If you don’t respond, your order will be processed at the new offer price.

The Delivery Services may only be used for Items that you are selling to us. You may not use these Delivery Services for any other items or purpose.

If you do use or attempt to use any of these Delivery Services for items other than those which you are selling to us, we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable administration fee to reflect the costs incurred by us in providing you with that service.

You shall not request that we or any of our chosen carriers carry or convey any Package if such carriage or conveyance would be unlawful or if such carriage would contravene any or all of these Terms and Conditions.
We and our carriers will not carry, and you agree not to send or request that we carry any Restricted Items, a list of which can be found on our carriers’ websites.

We and our carriers accept no liability whatsoever for any losses or harm arising from the carriage of any Restricted Items provided by or on behalf of you.

Please note that we have several legal obligations to comply with in respect of the carriage of Items, including but not limited to an obligation not to carry or accept for carriage Items that are deemed to be “Restricted Goods”.

You will be liable for any loss, damage, or liability arising from our breach of these legal obligations as a result of transportation of your Package or any other item you use or attempt to use our Delivery Services to send.

Should you (knowingly or unknowingly) attempt to require or require us or our carriers to carry any Items or handle any other items which breach the restrictions detailed in this condition, we and our chosen carriers shall be under no liability whatsoever in connection with those items, howsoever arising.

 

If you believe that your Package has been lost, damaged or stolen (subject to our confirmation that we have not received your Package) you will be required to provide a valid returns receipt which you will have been provided with by the relevant carrier.

It is your responsibility to obtain a receipt from the carrier and retain this for tracking and insurance purposes. As part of the claims process, you’ll need to provide the serial number and/or IMEI number of any tech items contained in your package (along with proof of purchase). You can find the IMEI of a mobile phone by calling *#06# or by going into your device settings. If you can’t provide a valid returns receipt, proof of purchase and serial/IMEI number, you may not be able to claim for any loss or damage to your package (subject to our confirmation that we have not received your package).

You must notify us in writing of any loss or damage, giving rise to a claim within twenty-eight (28) days of the date on which your Package was accepted by the courier (the date of which will be shown on your returns receipt).

If you fail to provide a valid receipt within twenty-eight (28) days of the date of your returns receipt, we shall not be liable for any loss or damage, unless you are able to demonstrate to our satisfaction that it was not reasonably possible for you to advise us or make such claim in writing within the twenty-eight (28) day time period and subject to you then providing such advice or claim within a reasonable time.

We shall be entitled to make such investigations as we deem necessary to satisfy ourselves of the validity of any such claim.

In calculating the value of any claim we shall accept no other valuations than our own for the Items that you may be claiming for and under no circumstances do we accept any liability for any other loss, damage or compensation resulting from the use of our Delivery Services.

We will notify you in writing of the outcome of our investigation and, if your claim is successful, payment of the Valuation, will be made via the payment method specified in your account on the Website.

 

When selling your items to us, you do so under these Terms & Conditions only. The information that you provide to us about your items may affect the price offered for these items. Please ensure that you accurately provide information relating to the items that you want to sell. For example, for a DVD, CD or Game, when you enter the barcode number into our system to get a valuation or Offer Price, if you do not enter the correct barcode number you will receive a different Offer Price because it will be for a different item and not the one you want to sell.

For items that fail the Quality Assessment Process (see section below titled “Selling Your Stuff – Quality Assessment”) or that have not been included in your relevant online transaction (e.g., they have not been valued using Decluttr’s online valuation engine and made a part of the sale you have submitted and agreed to), SUCH ITEMS CANNOT BE RETURNED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES AND WILL BE DISPOSED OF BY DECLUTTR.

Upon inspection of your items, if we find any item(s) that we believe to be counterfeit, fake, imitation, an illegal copy or a non-original product we will dispose of them in our sole discretion. Any such determination by Decluttr is final and Decluttr will not respond to further inquiries regarding the authenticity of such items including but not limited to whether such items are counterfeit, fake, or otherwise imitation items. All such counterfeit, fake, imitation items or illegal copies will not be paid for or returned by Decluttr and we may report such incidents to the relevant authorities. By agreeing to these Terms & Conditions, you expressly warrant that the products you sell to us are wholly original and genuine and not counterfeit, imitation or fake, and that your sale of such items to us does not violate any laws.

For items that you send to us, but have not been valued previously by us, or where the valuation process has occurred but we have not actually offered an Offer Price; and/or they do not appear in a valid Decluttr order/transaction item list, you understand, accept and agree that we will not pay you for these items and are unable to return them, but will dispose of them responsibly.

You accept and agree that when creating a single order with Decluttr, you cannot sell multiples of the same product(s) and that you will not attempt to create multiple orders in order to sell multiples of the same product(s) to us without our express permission. The order minimum and maximum item limits and/or requirements are posted on our Website(s) or mobile application(s) and form part of these Terms & Conditions.

 

All DVDs, CDs, Blu-Rays and Games sold to us are checked by our quality control team during our quality assessment process. Decluttr will not make payment for, or return to the sender/seller/user any DVDs, CDs, Blu-Rays or Games if one or more of the following conditions exist:

  • If ANY of the original disks from the original item are missing;
  • If the disk in the case does not match the cover and/or sleeve notes;
  • If some, or any, of the cover and/or sleeve notes are missing;
  • If the cover and/or sleeve notes OR the disk are irretrievably damaged and cannot be refurbished (e.g., the disk is cracked or very badly scratched or the cover and / or sleeve notes are water damaged, ripped or torn);
  • If the cover, the disc artwork and/or the sleeve notes are defaced in any way;
  • If Decluttr suspects the product is non-original, counterfeit, fake, or illegal in any way. Please note, this matter is taken very seriously and Decluttr reserves the right to take further action as appropriate regarding non-original copies, counterfeits, or illegal copies. Please see the section above titled “Selling Your Stuff – General Conditions” for more information;
  • If when quality assessed by our team we find that the CD you have sent to us and/or valued on our site, is in fact not a CD album but a CD single we reserve the right to fail that item and under our Terms and Conditions deal with that item as we do with all items that fail quality assessment;
  • If the barcode you entered is NOT identical to the barcode on the item you send to us and/or if the barcode is not evident on the cover, disc artwork and/or sleeve notes of the item received;
  • If no barcode is present;
  • If any Game does not have all the original instruction booklets in addition to the original artwork; or
  • If any Game is sent to us in a format that we do not accept, as described below.

Where DVDs, CDs, Blu-Rays and Games are rejected for any of the above reasons, Decluttr’s decision is final. Decluttr will inform users if one or more of their items have failed quality control via email updates and/or through their Decluttr online account.

If you send a DVD, CD, Blu-Ray or Game which was not included in your order (either intentionally or by mistake), it will automatically fail our Quality Assessment and will be recycled responsibly. We cannot return or pay for any media item which was not valued in your order.

We only accept Games on the following formats: Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PSP and PS Vita.

After your Tech items arrive at our warehouse, they will go through our Quality Assessment Process. During this process, our quality control team checks that your items matches the description provided.

Each Tech item you sell should accurately reflect the details you provide to us when getting an instant, including but not limited to the make, model, size, colour and condition.

Tech items will automatically fail our Quality Assessment if they do NOT reflect the description provided on our website, either in terms of make, model, size, colour or condition. Your items will also fail if you do not clearly display the label provided in your Welcome Pack on the outside of the package in which the item is sent.

Our Quality Assessment is based upon the Condition Specification presented to you on the website when you describe the condition of your item during the valuation process. The Condition Specifications displayed on the desktop and mobile version of our website supersede all others, including those on our mobile apps (as these Condition Specifications may occasionally be outdated due to the new version of the app being released.

The description you provide of your Tech directly influences the price we offer for it. As a result, if we determine that your item is in a different condition to that provided during valuation, we may offer a revised valuation in accordance with the process described below.

Please note: we may also revalue your items if:

  • a) You fail to send your Tech items within twenty four (24) days from the date your order was placed
  • b) Your items are not processed at our warehouse within twenty eight (28) days of your order being placed.

If your Tech items fail our Quality Assessment, or they fall outside either of the timeframes listed above, we will email you with a new valuation for the item.

Upon receiving this valuation, you have fourteen (14) days – referred to as the Grace Period – to accept or decline our revised offer price. For clarity: this Grace Period begins as soon as our revised valuation is sent to you and ends fourteen (14) days later.

In the email, you will have the option to ‘Accept’ or ‘Decline’ our revised offer price. You must accept or decline our offer by clicking the relevant button in the email within the Grace Period. If you fail to respond via the links provided in the email, or within the Grace Period, we will continue to process your order at the new offer price.

To clarify: we do not accept notification of declined offers in any format except the ‘decline’ link provided in the revised offer email.

By placing an order and sending your Tech item, you understand and agree that our Valuation is final and we will not enter any discussions regarding the Valuation of the item before and after the Quality Assessment.

If you choose to accept our revised valuation, the new price will be updated in the relevant order. You’ll be able to find this information in the ‘My Account’ section of our website. The revised Valuation will be the new price paid for your items.

The revised Valuation is the final price we will offer for the item in question.

If you decline our revised offer price, we will return your item to the address listed on your smartphonebuyback account free of charge (provided it is located within the U.S. or its territories or possessions).

If you do not respond to our revised valuation email, either by lack of response or failing to adhere to the ‘Decline’ process detailed above, we will automatically process payment for your Tech at the new offer price emailed to you. You understand and agree that smartphonebuyback is not liable whatsoever for any loss of any kind that may result from your failure to act within the Grace Period or not accepting or declining our revised valuation in the correct fashion.

In the event you do not respond to our revised valuation email, your item will not be returned and you will receive payment at the new value offered for your item.

We accept no responsibility for the accuracy of the details you provide. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the payment details you provide using our website or app are correct, complete and accurate.

Return of Tech Items: The Price Promise

If you decline our revised offer price in the Grace Period, using the ‘Decline’ link provided in our email, we will return your item to you free of charge to the address listed on your smartphonebuyback account (provided such address is within the U.S. or its territories or possessions). Please note that we cannot return accessories sent with your device in the case of a rejected offer. Your item will be shipped on the first Business Day after the expiration of the Grace Period (day 15).

It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the address listed on your smartphonebuyback account is correct. You understand and agree that we are not liable for any loss of any kind as a result of items being returned to the incorrect address as a result of your failure to provide your correct, up-to-date address details on your smartphonebuyback account. We will email you on the day that your item is due to arrive to your home address.

If your item is not delivered on the agreed delivery date, you must notify us within 14 days. If you don’t notify us within 14 days, we will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from non-delivery.

When you notify us of non-delivery, we will provide you with a ‘Letter of Denial of Receipt’. You are required to complete this within 7 days. If you fail to submit the Letter of Denial of Receipt within 7 days, we will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from non-delivery.

We are entitled to make any investigations deemed necessary to confirm the validity of any claim, and will check with the relevant carrier to confirm that non-delivery has occurred.

If our carrier notifies us that a Package has been lost in shipping, you will not be required to submit a ‘Letter of Denial’ and we will investigate the issue. If we conclude that the Package cannot be located and shipped to you, we will contact you in writing to confirm that your Package has been lost. We will then provide payment at the Valuation provided in our revised offer email.

In the instance your item is lost in shipping; we accept no other valuation than our own for the items you claim for. We accept no liability for any other loss, damage or compensation resulting from the return of your item.

If your claim is successful, you will be notified in writing and payment will be made using the payment method chosen when completing your order.

Registered stolen, lost or counterfeit items

If we find your Tech items have been registered or reported lost, stolen, blocked or barred – or we believe the item you have sent could be counterfeit – we will email you, quarantine the device and contact the relevant authorities.

We check every device we received against the Check MEND Register, which provides background reports and identifies phones that have been lost, stolen, blocked or barred with a ‘red flag’.

If your device has a ‘red flag’ against it, you have 28 days to contact Check MEND (the Quarantine Period). They will then provide advice on how to prove you are the legal owner of your device. You will need to provide a short description of the issue and the certificate ID number we provide in our notification email.

We can’t send your device back to you or make any payments during the Quarantine Period, and we’re legally required to dispose of the device if the ‘red flag’ isn’t lifted within the Quarantine Period. We accept no liability or responsibility for rejecting your item or disposing of it in these circumstances.

If you have any question on rejections, please contact our Customer Service team.

If your device include any of the devices listed above, or still contains personal information or data, we have no liability or any losses, claims or damages that arise from your failure to delete the relevant data from your Tech item (knowingly or unknowingly).
