A. Manufacturer Warranties
United SmartTech is an independent, third-party repair company not affiliated with any original manufacturer or insurance company and that having your device repaired or worked on United SmartTech technicians may void any manufacturer warranty or ability to utilize insurance providers. We are not responsible for any warranty that is considered void after repair services by United SmartTech have been rendered.
B. Replacement Parts
United SmartTech is an independent, third-party repair company not affiliated with any original manufacturer. Like any repair provider outside the original manufacturer, United SmartTech does not always have access to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. After any service is performed, the damaged parts that are replaced during service become the property of United SmartTech Upon payment for any repair or service, you forfeit any claim on the damaged parts that were replaced during the repair or their value.
C. Liquid Damage Diagnostic and Board Cleaning Service
Due to the nature of the liquid damage, a device that may arrive in “working” or “partially working” condition with liquid damage present, may not work after the diagnostic is performed. Liquid causes corrosion and rust on many components which can result in reduced device functionality after disassembly and re-assembly.
If a device is operable upon arrival, it is recommended that you back up the device before leaving it to be diagnosed. United SmartTech is not responsible for any data loss/ non-working devices after a diagnostic is performed in the presence of liquid damage.
The goal of a liquid cleaning service is to get the motherboard of the device in an operable condition. This service does not include non-integrated parts such as physical buttons, batteries, Wi-Fi cards/cables, or any other components that are not built into the motherboard itself.
If the liquid damage motherboard cleaning service resolves all device issues, the customer will be responsible for the liquid damage motherboard cleaning fee stated on the work order.
If additional non-integrated components are needed to fix the device, you will be contacted with a detailed price quote. If you elect to proceed with the replacement of non-integrated components, the liquid damage cleaning fee will be waived. If the motherboard cleaning service does not restore full functionality to the motherboard of the device (meaning the phone cannot be fully repaired), there will be no charge for the motherboard cleaning service.
D. Computer Virus Removal, Operating System Reinstall, and Data Backup
During a virus repair or removal, United SmartTech uses a multitude of software tools to remove any malware present in the device.
Due to the nature of many viruses (which infect not only the Operating System but also user files), United SmartTech CANNOT guarantee that 100% of your files will remain intact. There exists the possibility of having to delete documents, music, pictures, applications, and any other data that have become infected.
United SmartTech CANNOT guarantee malware removal through software alone. If it is the case that United SmartTech cannot safely remove the virus entirely, you will not be charged for the virus removal service, and United SmartTech will contact you about performing a reinstall of the operating system from a clean installation.
United SmartTech will not backup any user-created file unless a “Computer backup service” is included.
You understand that if an Operating System Reinstall service is performed United Smart-Tech provides a factory installation with no additional software installed except for primary hardware drivers. Any Software, including Anti-Malware (free or paid-subscription), is subject to a software installation fee.

C. Accessing Data on Customer Devices
As part of our required diagnostic testing, certain applications containing customer data (such as camera, dial pad, and messaging applications), may be required to be accessed to thoroughly test the device’s functionality.
