Repair Services.
New System Computers offer repair services for Desktop PC’s & Laptops. All repairs are carried out by trained technicians, and every reasonable care is taken by New System Computers in each case to prevent damage or loss where possible while a repair is being carried out. However, New System Computers do not accept responsibility for any damage or consequential loss/damage that may occur as a result of a repair failure.
It is the clients responsibility to ensure all data is backed up and stored on separate hardware prior to any repair service request. Failure to do so could result in permanent data loss, for which New System Computers cannot accept responsibility. We do offer data backup/recovery services, and these can be requested in advance of any repair work.
In some cases, an item may be considered ‘Beyond economical repair’. This would be where the cost of repairing the item exceeds that of purchasing the equivalent new device/model. New System Computers will inform the client in such cases before completing any work where possible.
Call-Outs
If a home or business call-out is booked and the client is not present at the agreed allotted time, we reserve the right to apply our standard minimum time for call-out fee. (£50) If the client is located beyond the 10 mile free radius, then additional charges in proportion may apply.
The client may cancel an agreed home or business call-out at any time up to and but not including the same day prior to the agreed appointment time. Otherwise, normal call out charges will apply.
In the event that we have to cancel an appointment, the client will be notified as soon as possible to arrange a new time. “New System Computer Services” cannot accept any responsibility for damages caused as a result of a missed appointment.
Although both the workshop and the business are located at a physical address, we do not offer a walk in service or shop front. Repairs are either done on-site, or via our collect, repair, and return service.
Remote Support Services.
Remote Support assistance is a service that we offer where a repair does not require an on-site visit. An example of this might include configuring a new email account, or help with recovering a lost password. This service is by appointment only, and to be used by our recommendation only.
Remote support sessions are normally conducted via the built in Windows ‘Quick Assist’ application, or Teamviewer.
Payments.
Our main forms of accepted payments include BACS or Cash. We do also accept cheques where neither former method is an option, but there is a small admin fee for this. We can also accept card payments via our online invoicing service, however this tends to be by request only due to additional charges. We currently cannot accept on-site payments via card.
Monthly payments for our hosting packages and other ongoing services must be paid by direct debit which is collected on or around the 1st of each calendar month.
An invoice is generated internally for every client, and can be sent on request via email or directly with delivery. “New System Computer Services” require payment on receipt of any invoice, unless otherwise agreed and stated on the original invoice, or agreed in writing via email. Invoices must be paid in full before or on the due date stated on the invoice. If full payment has not been received by the invoice due date, then “New System Computer Services” will endeavor to contact the customer/client using details provided by the customer, to inform them & arrange a solution. In the event where a payment becomes overdue, then “New System Computer Services” reserves the right to retrospectively remove any discounts that had been applied to the original invoice, and apply late payment penalty fees.
Where goods are being delivered, payment is required on delivery.
Late Payments
Late payment fees are calculated as interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% per annum above the current Bank of England base rate (which interest will accrue daily until the date of actual payment and be compounded at the end of each calendar month). Whenever this applies, there will also be a one off late payment collection fee of £40.
“New System Computer Services” reserve the right to request immediate payment for any completed job, and to limit payment to a certain method.
Computer/Laptop parts, any other hardware, or software that is needed to complete a repair or service can be purchased by either the client or “New System Computer Services”. In the latter case, these items remain the property of ‘New System Computer Services’ until such a time that payment has been received in full.
In the event where every reasonable attempt has been made to contact the customer and collect payment without success, and it becomes necessary to pursue legal action, ‘New System Computer Services’ reserves the right to add any legal fees or court costs incurred to the owed amount.
Direct Debits
Direct Debit & interest free payments are offered for some of the services provided by ‘New System Computer Services’. If a Direct Debit needs to be cancelled at any time, then the customer will need to contact “New System Computer Services” by telephone or email to notify us. Our cancellation policy for any monthly service requires 30 days of notice. In this event there will not be a cancellation fee.
If a Direct Debit is cancelled without notification, or payment is declined, or fails, “New System Computer Services” will make every reasonable attempt to contact the customer using the details provided by the customer to discuss a solution. Where this can be resolved within 7 days of initial contact, then there will be no charge. If this goes beyond 7 days after the payment is due or initial contact, (whichever is later, then additional late payment charges will apply (Annual statutory interest on the debt (8%) + the Bank of England’s base rate per day, plus a one-off payment collection fee of £40.)
Payment plans offered for physical goods via newsystemcomputers.co.uk/shop are only offered via 3rd party payment providers.
File and Data Recovery.
The client accepts that New System Computers will not examine the contents of any file contained on the media supplied to them other than for testing purposes.
We accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the contents, integrity, functionality, corruption or usefulness of any data recovered.
Estimates for Services.
Where necessary, New System Computers will provide an estimate prior to carrying out any work. This will be done either via email or via our website. Estimates are not quotes, and unless otherwise stated, prices can be subject to change, however the client will be notified as soon as possible where this applies.
Availability.
All goods and services are subject to availability. Most parts can be acquired within 1-2 working days, but in each case the client will be informed and kept up-to-date where this process takes longer.
Limited Liability.

In no event will New System Computers be liable for any damage to the laptop/desktop, loss of data, loss of revenue or profits, or any special, incidental, contingent, or consequential damages, however caused, before, during or after service.
The client and New System Computers agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for unsatisfactory work or data shall be, at New System Computers option, additional attempts by Bits and PCs (London) to recover satisfactory data or refund of the amount paid by the client.
The client is aware of the inherent risks of data loss and property damage involved in laptop/desktop repair.
