7 Grading

7.1 When you provide the specifications of your Device on our site (see clause 4.2.1 and 4.2.2), it will provide to you a maximum price (the Up To Value), based on that information. The way in which we assess the value of devices is set out on our site. This does not constitute any representation, warranty or advice in respect of your Device.

7.2 Upon receipt of your Device we will:

  • 7.2.1  Check that your Device matches the description you provided in your sale request;

  • 7.2.2  Verify your Device against the GSMA Register (see clause 7.4).

7.2.4 (Where your Device is received more than 14 days after your sale request) reassess the Up to Value based on current market conditions, in case there should have been a material change in the same since the date of your sale request.

7.3 We aim to carry out the assessment at clause 7.2 on the same day as receipt (excluding weekends and bank holidays), though this can take longer at busy times.

7.4 If your Device registers as lost, stolen, blocked or barred, or we have reason to believe the device is lost, stolen, blocked or barred, we will quarantine your Device for 14 days, during which you may wish to contact GSMA if you believe that the registration is incorrect. If you have been unable to prove (based on GSMA standards or guidance) that your Device is owned by you after the 14 day period has elapsed, we will cancel the contract and will be legally obliged to destroy your Device without liability to you. In no circumstances do we accept lost or stolen Devices and in the events described in this sub-clause we would be entitled to the repayment by you of any monies paid to you in pursuance of the contract.

Subject to clauses 7.4 and 7.5, we shall aim to make the payment on the same day as the completion of our assessment under clause 7.2.

7.7 If we assess your Device as being either (i) not in conformity with the description you provided, or (ii) of a lower quality / condition grade than the Up To Value provided for or (iii) subject to such defects (for example, in relation to one or more of the matters listed at clause 7.2) which affect your Device value, we shall:

  • 7.7.1  reassess your Device (the Reassessed Value);

  • 7.7.2  inform you by email and SMS of the Reassessed Value (the Revised Offer).

7.8 Upon receipt of Revised Offer, you may cancel the contract with us and receive back your Device at no charge. In order to cancel the contract, you must inform us by cancellation through our portal (Your quotation notification will contain a portal link to officially respond), within 48 hours of the Revised Offer.

7.9 If you either notify us of your acceptance of the Revised Offer or do not cancel the contract within 48 hours of the Revised Offer, we shall make payment to you for your Device in accordance with clause 8 and you shall have no further right to cancel the contract.

8 Payment

8.1 You warrant and are responsible for the accuracy of the bank details you provide with your sale request in accordance with clause 4.2.3. We cannot accept any further liability to pay you for your Device if we make a payment to an account which does not belong to you in consequence of an error in the bank details you provide with your sale request.

8.2 Subject to sub-clause 8.1, we shall make payment to you to the bank details provided with your sale request in the events described at clause 7.5 or 7.9. We will aim to do so within 24 hours of the said event though it may take longer at busy times.

14 General

14.1 From time to time we will receive miscellaneous devices. We deem a device miscellaneous when at least 6 months have passed without the device being claimed. Miscellaneous devices originate from: a device we receive, that has no details contained in the package or sent along with the device, that allow us to reasonably match the device to an individual, order, or customer. These devices are held in quarantine for 6 months. During this period, we hope the owner or sender of the device will get in touch with our customer service team at contact@grademobile.co.uk to claim their device. Proof of purchase and the IMEI ID will be a minimum requirement to verify ownership. If a device is left unclaimed for over 6 months, we will recycle the device. We cannot hold unknown devices indefinitely, as this poses security risks.

A device is only deemed to be received by us once a confirmation email has been sent by us of being in possession of the device. 

Please ensure your data is wiped or backed up before sending your device to us. We do not offer a data recovery service. Pin Locks and passwords must be removed before you send your device to us.
