3. In relation to a service of your Apple product, our technicians will often need access to your product which requires a screen lock code or password. If this is necessary to perform a repair or other services, Eplehuset will change the code/password together with you, to ensure your codes and passwords remain personal. After the service is completed, Eplehuset will assist you to change it back to your desired code/password. If you’d rather prefer all data being erased prior to the service, Eplehuset can also assist you with this.

5. iOS units and Apple Watch may be swapped for a remanufactured unit instead of being repaired. A remanufactured unit order cannot be canceled. A remanufactured unit is a new iOS unit of the same model and may contain up to 5 components that have been used previously. These parts are the earpiece speaker, facetime camera, main camera, vibration unit and logic board. All other parts will be new, including the battery. Parts that are reused are fully remanufactured at the Apple factory and are subject to strict quality control. Thus, remanufactured units will always be similar to a new retail unit, but without the accessories in the box. The remanufactured unit will have full battery capacity, as when your unit was new.

6. Unauthorized repairs or modifications on the product may lead to extra expenses which in full will be charged the customer unless other arrangements have been made in writing prior to the repair. Customers are obligated to provide information about such repairs or modifications when requesting service on their products. Eplehuset is not responsible for issues after such repairs as long as the issue can trace back to the unauthorized repair.
