We reserve the right to amend these Terms from time to time (the date of the last revision of the Terms of this agreement is indicated at the top of this page).

-
Determining the price of the Device
-
In order to be able to provide you with a provisional trade-in amount via an initial offer ("Initial Value") prior to any receipt and inspection of the Device, you warrant that you will accurately describe the condition of the Device. The Initial Value is valid for a period of fourteen (14) days from the date the price is provided to you (the "Initial Period").
-
We accept the return of accessories such as chargers and headphones, but these accessories do not increase the value of the Device. Accessories sent by users will not be returned by Likewize.
-
On receipt of the Device we will carry out an inspection (as defined in clause I.1). If your description of the Device is inaccurate or incorrect, the original value may be reassessed and a revised value may be calculated ("Revised Value"), as described in clause I.4.
-
You must ensure that we receive the Device within the initial period of 14 days from your receipt of the shipment label. If we do not receive the Device within the initial period, we reserve the right to offer you a revised quotation (in accordance with clauses H and I).

Lost, blocked, stolen and counterfeit devices

For the purposes of these Terms:
-
“Lost”, “Stuck” or “Stolen" products are products that have been reported as lost, stuck or stolen and are registered as a blacklisted device based on the GSMA database.
-
“Counterfeit" products are products manufactured to resemble those of another company, in violation of the intellectual property rights of the genuine manufacturer.
-
-
We do not make payments to customers for lost, blocked, stolen or counterfeit devices.
-
We reserve the right to inform the relevant authorities if there is any suspicion of deliberate fraud. We reserve the right to demand repayment of any sums we have paid to you if we discover, within three months of receiving the Device, that it has been reported lost, blocked or stolen or that it is a counterfeit product.
-
Lost, blocked, stolen, or counterfeit Devices (including those with counterfeit parts) may be returned to the customer or destroyed or recycled in accordance with applicable law.
-
-
Inspection of the Device and change in trade-in value
-
Once we have received the Device, we will inspect it to ensure that it matches the description you originally provided ("Inspection").
-
The inspection will include the model, condition and country of origin of the Device. If the model, condition or country of origin of the Device differs from the description you originally submitted, the original value will be adjusted in accordance with clauses H and I of the Terms. If, following inspection, it is found that you have sent us a different model from the one to which we have applied the initial trade-in value, we will quote you the market price for that other model based on the price quoted on this website at the date of receipt of that other model (the market price will vary depending on the condition of the inspected Device). If we decide to offer a trade-in value for a Device or Devices which are in a different condition or model to that described by the consumer or which were received after the initial 14-day period, we reserve the right to adjust the Initial Value.
-
Only we are authorized to determine the condition, model and country of origin of the Device and the proposed trade-in value.
-
If required in accordance with the provisions of these Terms, we will contact you by email to confirm the adjustment to the trade-in value we have proposed for the Device (Revised Value). Within fourteen (14) days from the date we send you the email you may decide whether or not to accept the Revised Value. However, Likewize is not responsible for the failure of such emails messages to reach you due to circumstances beyond our control such as the existence of spam or junk mail filters. If you do not reply to an e-mail within this 14-day period or if you refuse the Revised Value due to a change in the status of your Device, it will be returned to you free of charge. Please allow 10 working days for receipt of the returned Device.
-
You must ensure that we receive the Device within 14 days of the date on which we provide you with the original value. If we do not receive the Device within 14 days, we reserve the right to offer you the lower of: (i) the original value or (ii) the price in force on the website on the day the Device reaches us.
-
-
How the contract is concluded
-
Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer to buy or sell products or services.
-
You must be at least 18 years old to make us an offer to sell your Device.
-
Sending us the Device constitutes your binding offer to sell the Device to us for the Original Value ("your offer"). However, sending to us the Device does not mean that we have finally agreed to pay the price of the Original Value. Consequently, we may, at our discretion, not accept the Initial Value for any reason whatsoever, in particular if the model or condition of the Device differs from the description made by the consumer. We may also, at our sole discretion, cancel any offer to sell a Device on this website if we are unable to take back the Device associated with the trade-in. In such a situation, the user will be informed of this impossibility of taking back the Device, which will be returned to the user. Once a trade-in of your Device has been processed and we agree to pay the rate set out in the Initial Value or you accept the Revised Value, you can no longer cancel a trade-in order. However, if a Revised Value is proposed, the user retains the option of refusing the Revised Value, in which case the Device will be returned.
-
No contract is legally concluded until the following events have occurred:
-
We confirm that we will offer you the same price as the Initial Value after inspection of the Device, or
-
In accordance with these Terms, you accept the Revised Value amount.
-
-
-
Pricing and reimbursement
-
We will inspect the Device as soon as we receive it and at the latest within three (3) working days of receiving it. If the Device is in the condition you have described, we will pay the original value by electronic gift card to be sent to your email addressed used to register on the website.
-
The prices indicated on this website may be modified regularly and at any time without notice in order to adapt the market value of the Device taken back.
-
-
Ownership of the Device and transfer of risk
-
1Ownership of the devices is transferred to Likewize when the Device is received by Likewize and Likewize confirms the original offer and agrees to pay the original value price or when you accept the Revised Value price. Upon transfer of ownership, you then waive any other right, title or interest in the devices or the items contained therein.
