PLACING YOUR ORDER

If you’re DSA funding is being processed by Student Finance England (SFE) or Student Finance Wales (SFW) we will need a copy of your DSA 2 letter. We are normally unable to proceed without this document. This can be sent to us in the following manner

  1. By fax, to 0161 745 8343,
  2. Email to orders@remtek-online.co.uk
  3. By post to Remtek Systems Limited, Unit 550, Metroplex Business Park, Entrance 6, Broadway, Salford, M50 2UE

If your DSA funding is not being processed by Student Finance England (SFE) or Student Finance Wales (SFW) you should telephone for guidance Remtek Systems Limited 0161 745 8353 or email to orders@remtek-online.co.uk. For example you maybe an NHS student or your Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) is being funded in another way in this case you will not have been sent a DSA2 letter. In this situation you may be required to pay before arranging any delivery.

On receipt of all the appropriate paperwork i.e. a copy of your DSA2 letter we will acknowledge receipt of your DSA2 letter usually by email, or by post or by a method chosen by you. With this acknowledgment we will request that you review these terms and conditions. Processing of you order is based on you accepting these Terms and Conditions.

Shortly after receiving this acknowledgement you will receive another document asking that you contact us to place your order. This is usually done by telephone however if you wish to communicate by email please state this. You can delegate to a named third party if you prefer.

Currently, students who are awarded a computer will need to pay a £200 contribution to the cost of the computer. This will need to be paid before when arranging the delivery, setup and familiarisation. After payment is made, a receipted invoice will be produced.

Because we do not choose or recommend your equipment or software we are not responsible for the suitability of the equipment for your application or its intended use, therefore it is important that you check this document and if you have any queries you are required to contact us without delay This is usually done by telephone however if you wish to communicate by email please state this. You can delegate to a named third party if you prefer. After arranging the delivery, set up and familiarisation to a timed appointment or a delivery only according to your requirements we send to you a confirmation of the appointment day and time or despatch details.by email.

This confirmation will give you the final list of the agreed equipment. Because we do not choose or recommend your equipment or software we are not responsible for the suitability of the equipment for your application or its intended use therefore it is important that you further check both the items on the order and the delivery date and if applicable the time of delivery, set up and familiarisation. If you notice that there are any discrepancies, have any questions or wish to make any changes to the items on you order or change the delivery date or time you must contact us at once. This is your final opportunity to make changes after this we will prepare your computer system to you particular requirements and order any non-stock items for you.

We arrange this delivery set and installation on the basis that you have accepted these Terms and Conditions.

We will ask that you clear a space where the equipment can be set up or ask someone to help you. If you are awaiting delivery of a desk you may wish to delay installation of the equipment however we are pleased to set up the equipment where you require it.

DELIVERY

We aim to deliver equipment by offering you a delivery date no later than 10 working days from the day that you contact us and you are in a position to arrange delivery. i.e. after all presales enquiries are resolved and any chargeable enhancement s or changes paid for or the funding agreed for them. We will need you to agree to these terms and condition at the latest before delivery is made.

You can choose a date outside that timescale but you will need to specifically ask for that.

Delivery, set up and familiarisation option.

Our appointments are all made for a specific time with delivery, set up and familiarisation taking place at the same time.

We will arrive as close to the agreed time as possible and you will need to be available for 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Or a 2 hour appointment when specified. The above will be performed by one of our technicians specifically trained for that purpose. In order to ensure conformity to our standards we do not use third party installers. You should be available at the time of delivery in order to sign any documentation and have familiarisation on your equipment. We do not normally do training the same day as delivery and we will not offer this service to you. However you can request this and we can then make special arrangements outside our normal procedures for you to have this.

If due to unforeseen circumstances you are not available you can delegate to a named third party. We are unable to deliver to another person without prior arrangements made by you. It is therefore important that you contact us as soon as possible,

These Terms and Conditions will be place on your desktop.

Delivery only

Your order may only require delivery and this will usually be made by post or a courier service. In certain circumstances and at our discretion we reserve the right to deliver to a time appointment system. In this situation you should be available at the time of delivery in order to sign any documentation such as the equipment list. You can delegate to a named third party if you prefer.

We arrange this delivery on the basis that you accept these Terms and Conditions.

SETUP

All equipment is unpacked, connected and all the connections tested included network/ internet connection, if applicable.

We will explain the importance of data back up and how to access after sales software and hardware support.

You will have the opportunity to ask any further questions.

WARRANTY

A separate warranty document will be loaded onto your computer; the following is intended to give you an overview of the key points only. You can request a paper copy of the full warranty document.
This warranty, if funded, is additional to any manufacturer warranty and is specifically tailored to DSA students. It does not cover manufacturers’ defects or what we consider to be normal wear and tear. It does not cover accidental or gross misuse

This warranty is the part of our support package which is intended to cover repairs which are not cause by accidental damage (which insurance would normally cover). Insurance is covered in another section,

You can expect that return-to- base repairs will be completed within three weeks.

After three working days in our workshop we will give you the option of having a loan computer

It is your responsibility to contact us promptly if you need warranty support. You can delegate this to a named third party if you prefer.

This warranty will usually cover your computer, printer/scanner and digital recorder. Certain other items may be covered by the warrant agreement or a by separate agreement. It is intended to last the full length of your course however it is your responsibility to check that it does and contact us before delivery if this does not appear to be the case,

Should you take breaks in your course either planned or unplanned you will need to check before you recommence your study that you still have warranty cover for the remainder of your course. If you are not covered or notice that your warranty will not cover you for the remainder of your course we may be able to extend your warranty. In this situation you should contact your assessment centre without delay.

Warranties are not automatically renewed and it is your responsibility to confirm that it has been.

Remtek does not cover data loss however this has occurred.

SUPPORT

During your warranty period while you are a student, Remtek will provide a comprehensive support package on hardware and software. It is designed around the need of disabled students.

It is only provided to students who have purchased a repair warranty.

This essential element of the support package we provide constitutes the majority of calls made to our technical help line

Support does not cover the repair of faulty equipment and is intended to cover situations which are not covered by your repair warranty.

Situations covered are where you may need help or advise on how to reinstall software or need to reinstall scanner or printer drivers. It may also cover specific advice on the use of assistive software.

Support will be given mostly given by on line support, telephone support is also an option and in some cases and at our discretion on-site support.

Support calls can be lengthy ones and you should make yourself available for the appropriate length of time. You can delegate to a named third party if you prefer.

Support can only be given on the computer or software you bought from us. At our discretion it can be provided on a new computer if supplied by ourselves. However the support we give will cease at the same time as original support package expired.

That we are not responsible for any data loss on your computer. It is entirely your responsibility to back up your data and we suggest that you do this on a regular basis on an external source, not only on the hard drive of your computer. Any repairs will be undertaken on the assumption that you have backed up your data. Any backup made by our technicians in the course of a repair is for your convenience If you have any data on your computer, which you value for any reason, you should back it up yourself before you contact our technician’s, for either a support call or reporting a fault and if you do not do this you accept that data loss could occur. Once your equipment leaves your premises (where it is you’re responsibly) the security of data cannot be guaranteed by any third party. While there is insurance cover for goods in transit and while on our premises this only applies to theft or damage to your equipment and does not cover data loss which is your responsibility to back up before it is collected.

During a warranty repair or support we will make all efforts to recover all course related data however this cannot be guaranteed. In accepting this equipment you accept that irrecoverable data loss can occur. The warranty and support package does not fund the use of a specialist data recovery company.
