7. 7.	Valuing your Product

   1. 7.1

      You warrant that you will accurately describe the condition of your Products so that we are able to provide an initial quotation before we are in receipt of, and able to, inspect the Product (the “Original Quotation”). The Original Quotation will be valid for a period of 14 days from the date it is issued to you (“Initial Period”). You may extend the validity of the Original Quotation within the Initial Period by a further period of 7 days from the end of the Initial Period (“Quote Validity Period”).

   2. 7.2	We accept accessories such as chargers and headsets but these do not increase the value of your Product.

   3. 7.3	Upon receipt of your Product, we will carry out an Inspection (as defined in clause 9.1). Any incorrect or inaccurate Product descriptions may result in us re-evaluating our Original Quotation to produce a Revised Quotation (as defined in clause 9.4).

   4. 7.4

      Subject to clause 7.3, you must ensure that we are in receipt of the Products within the Initial Period or Quote Validity Period as appropriate. If we are not in receipt of a Product with the Initial Period or Quote Validity Period as appropriate, we reserve the right to provide you with a Revised Quotation (as defined in clause 9.4), subject to the clauses 8 and 9 below.

8. 8.	Lost, Blocked, Stolen and Fake Products and Pre-Pay Box Breaking

   1. 8.1	For the purposes of these Terms “Fake” Products are counterfeit Products which are manufactured to resemble products made by another company in breach of the intellectual property rights of the genuine manufacturer.

   2. 8.2

      In the case we are notified or suspect that the Product is either lost or stolen, we may request further proof of ownership of the Product. Additional proof of ownership may include, but is not limited to, receipts, tax invoices or carrier receipts. In the event that there is insufficient proof of ownership, the Product may be returned to you, or to the relevant authorities.

   3. 8.3

      We may work with a number of agencies and service providers to enable us to check the IMEI of all Products that are sent to us to confirm that they are not stolen. We may do this prior to confirming purchase. However, in the event that we become aware of any issues at any time, we reserve the right to withhold/cancel payment and you agree to co-operate with us and any authorities should we make such a request.

   4. 8.4	We will make no payments to customers for Products received which are either lost, stolen or Fake.

   5. 8.5

      We reserve the right to inform the relevant authorities if there is any suspicion that there is a deliberate attempt to perpetrate a fraud. We reserve the right to reclaim any money paid to you if it is discovered within three months of the return of that Product that the Product has either been reported as a lost, stolen or the Product is discovered to be a Fake.

9. 9.	Inspection and Revised Quotation

   1. 9.1	Once your Products have been received by us, we will inspect the Product to check to see if it complies with the description that you provided to us originally (the “Inspection”).

   2. 9.2

      The Inspection will focus on, amongst other things, the model and condition of the Product, the country of origin of the Product as well as the total number of Products received by us. If the model, condition and/or origin are different to your original description, the Original Quotation will be adjusted in accordance with clause 9.4 below. Should our Inspection reveal that you have sent us a different model than the one that we provided an Original Quotation for, we will offer an amount for the different model based on the price displayed on the Site on the day that we are in receipt of the different model (subject to the condition of the Product). We may also adjust the Original Quotation if we decide to offer an amount for one or more but not all of the Products received by us.

   3. 9.3	We will have sole discretion in determining the appropriate condition, the model, the country of origin and price of the Product.

   4. 9.4

      We will contact you via email or text to confirm the amount we will offer for such Product as adjusted, if necessary, by these Terms (the “Revised Quotation”). You will have 14 days from the date that we have sent the email or text in which to accept the Revised Quotation provided that we cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of emails because of spam email or junk filters. If you choose to decline the Revised Quotation or do not reply to our email or text within the 14 day period which has been provided because the condition of the Product is different to your original description, the Product will be returned to you at no additional cost to you.

   5. Please allow for up to 10 working days to receive your returned Product. If for any reason we cannot send you back your original Product then we will be obliged to make payment for the Original Quotation (except to the extend such failure to send back the original Product to you has resulted from any act or omission of you).

   6. 9.5	Additional accessories that have been sent in with your Product which have not been requested by us cannot be returned to you.

10. 10.	How the Contract is formed between you and us

    1. 10.1	Nothing on this Site constitutes an offer by us to sell or purchase any goods or services.

    2. 10.2

       Sending Products to us shall constitute an offer by you to sell such Products to us in return for the Original Quotation (“Your Offer”). However, please note that this does not mean that Your Offer has been accepted. Therefore we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to accept Your Offer for any reason. Our acceptance of your Offer will take place as described in clause 10.3. We may also, in our sole discretion, cancel any trade-in order you place on the Site in which case the Products relating to the order will not be collected by us.

    3. 10.3	No Contract will be formed until either:

       1. (a)	we accept Your Offer, by paying to you a sum equal to the Original Quotation; or

This Privacy Policy sets out the approach which Likewize and its related companies will take in relation to the treatment of your Personal Information. It includes information on how Likewize collects, uses, discloses and keeps secure, your Personal Information. It also covers how Likewize makes the Personal Information it holds available to you for access and correction by you in the event that such information is inaccurate or incomplete.

Likewize may collect the following types of information: the customer’s name, email address, mail address, user name and password and any faxes or mail sent to us and the IMEI numbers of any mobile device used in any transaction with Likewize, and other information that clients may provide in their course of communication with Likewize.

Information can sometimes include identification information to comply with relevant second hand trading legislation and your rights or title to sell goods to Likewize in addition to financial information pertaining to the financial processing of a transaction.

We may also use 'cookies' which will collect information about you such as your IP address and how you have used our website - this is discussed further below (see 2.7 below).

This policy has been drafted having regard to Likewize's obligations under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance as updated from time to time (the PDPO).
