REGISTERING AS A REPAIRER
In order to benefit from all the features of the iWarranty Service available to Repairers you will need to register with us as a Repairer though our business app. You will be asked to provide certain information about your business including your business name, contact details and the types of products you repair.
In addition you will need to provide proof of address and any other documentation or information that we may consider necessary from time to time, such as insurance documentation, as part of the registration process and your ongoing status as a Repairer. You must ensure that the information provided by you on registration is correct, complete and not misleading. You must also inform us promptly of any changes to the information that you provide, by updating your details, in order that we may communicate with you effectively.
By registering as a Repairer you are entering into a contract with us. The contract will consist of your registration details, these Terms & Conditions, our Privacy Policy, our Code of Conduct and our Feedback Policy. Unless we have expressly stated otherwise, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy or Code of Conduct or Feedback Policy, or any other document or legal notice published on the iWarranty Service from time to time, these Terms & Conditions shall take precedence.
PROVISION OF THE SERVICES TO REPAIRERS
Following registration, we will make certain services available to you. The services will include the ability to include details of your repair business on our iWarranty Platform (“Repairer Profile”), the ability to view or receive details of jobs which have been submitted by Consumer Users (“Jobs”) and the ability to submit quotes in response to Jobs (“Quotes”).
Please note that your Repairer Profile must not contain any contact details for your business other than within the specified fields requesting the same, although you will have the ability to communicate with Consumer Users using the iWarranty Services’ online messaging systems and you may also be given the opportunity to contact Consumer Users where you have submitted a Quote in response to a Job they have posted. You must also ensure that any information you post to or transmit via the iWarranty Service, including any content contained in Repairer Profile and any Quotes and messages, complies with the provisions of our Acceptable Use Policy stated below.
Full details of the services available to Repairers via the iWarranty Service will be published on our website from time to time. We are continually seeking to develop and improve the services we offer and so we reserve the right, at our absolute discretion, to make changes to any part of the iWarranty Service without notice.
MEMBERSHIP FEES
In order to have your Repairer Profile published in the iWarranty Service and in order to submit Quotes for Jobs, Repairers must become a member by paying the applicable annual membership fees (the “Membership Fees”). Information about our Membership Fees will be posted on the iWarranty Service from time to time.
Please note that payments made for Membership Fees are non-refundable, irrespective of the number of Jobs which are notified to you and irrespective of whether or not you have submitted Quotes for Jobs or the number of Quotes which are submitted.
By becoming a member, you agree that your membership will continue for a year and renew automatically every year thereafter (each a “Membership Year”) and that the annual Membership Fee will be automatically charged to you, unless you have notified us before the renewal date that you do not wish to renew your membership for another Membership Year. You will receive an email fourteen (14) days and seven (7) days prior to renewal informing you that this is about to happen. You can cancel your membership for the coming year at any point prior to the renewal date by emailing us at partnership@iwarranty.co.
SERVICE FEES
By becoming a member and by submitting Quotes or by allowing for Quotes to be submitted on your behalf, in respect of Jobs, you are also entering into a legally binding contract with us under which you agree to pay applicable service fees (the “Service Fee”) in the event that a Consumer User initiates a repair request via the iW platform and selects you to discuss that request (“Repair Request”), your Quote is selected by the Consumer User, or you are otherwise engaged by the Consumer User to undertake the Job. Full details of the applicable Service Fee for a particular Job or otherwise using the iWarranty Service will be published on the iWarranty Platform from time to time and will be provided whenever a Job is notified to you. You agree to notify us promptly (and in any event within one (1) working day) through the iWarranty Platform if you are selected, or engaged, by a Consumer User to undertake any Job with respect to a Quote has been submitted, by updating your Job details accordingly.
In the event that you fail to notify us within one (1) working day that you were selected or engaged to undertake a Job and we are informed that you were, or if we have reasonable grounds for believing that you were, you agree that you will be liable to pay the Service Fee to us together with an additional administration charge of £9.99 (the “Payment Administration Fee“).
You agree that Service Fees (and, where applicable the Payment Administration Fees) are payable if you receive a Repair Request, are selected or engaged to undertake a Job, irrespective of whether the Job is ultimately completed or is cancelled. We shall be under no obligation to refund such fees in respect of any Jobs which are not completed or cancelled and refunds will only be given in our absolute discretion. Under no circumstances will requests for refunds be considered where:
- they are made later than thirty (30) days after we have successfully collected a Service Fee, or invoiced you for a Service Fee, or made our first attempt to collect the Service Fee from your designated credit or debit card or other payment method; or
- they are made in respect of Jobs where we hold insufficient evidence that follow-up actions have been taken to manage the booking with the Consumer User, which must include attempts to contact the Consumer User by telephone and through the iWarranty Services’ messaging system, after the date that the booking was confirmed within the system and within a reasonable time of any contact from the Consumer User; or
- they are made at levels that we consider to be excessive based on general usage of the iWarranty Service.
PAYMENT TERMS
Unless otherwise agreed or stated, all fees are quoted in Pounds Sterling. You are responsible for paying all fees together with any applicable VAT by such methods as we may reasonably require from time to time. Unless we have agreed in writing to invoice you for any fees due under this agreement (or agreed in writing to collect payment by some other method) we require that all fees be paid via a credit card or debit card or other payment method registered with us and you authorise us to collect all such payments immediately on the date that they become due. Where we have agreed to invoice you for any fees you agree to pay all such invoices within thirty (30) days of the date of our invoice.
In the event that we are unable to collect any fees from your designated credit or debit card or other payment method, or (where applicable) you have failed to pay any invoice submitted by us by the due date for payment, then (in addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available to us) you agree that we may charge a late payment administration fee of £9.99 (the “Late Payment Administration Fee”) together with interest on the overdue amount (from the due date up to the date of actual payment) at the rate of 4% per annum above the base rate for the time being of the Bank of England. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis and be compounded quarterly. In these circumstances, we also reserve the rights to suspend your access to or use of the iWarranty Service until any outstanding sums are paid in full and/ or to terminate our agreement with you in accordance with the section entitled Termination below.
SUBMISSION OF QUOTES AND QUOTING DATA
By registering to use the iWarranty Service, where we have agreed a pricing structure with you in relation to your standard repair services, you agree that we may automatically submit Quotes on your behalf in response to Jobs which are posted in your area. Quotes will be formulated based on information provided by the Consumer User including product, model and job type (“Job Criteria”) as well as quoting data we hold for you (“Quoting Data”). Quotes will either be submitted to Consumer Users as standard Quotes or as “SmartRepairQuotes”. All “SmartRepairQuotes” will be clearly identified as such.
Standard Quotes will be generated where you manually submit a Quote in direct response to a Repair Request, or, where you otherwise agree, we automatically submit on your behalf based in information from you where you have either previously provided a Quote which matches the Job Criteria, or you have otherwise provided us with information about what you would quote for the Job Criteria.
SmartRepairQuotes may be automatically generated and submitted on your behalf where we do not hold Quoting Data for you which is an exact match for the Job Criteria. In these cases our SmartRepairQuotes software may use the Quoting Data we hold for you, as well as benchmarking algorithms we have developed, to predict what you are likely to quote for the Job.
PLEASE NOTE: If you use the iWarranty Service, you understand, acknowledge and agree that any Quotes we submit on your behalf will be significantly influenced by the Quoting Data we hold for you. In general, the more up to date Quoting Data we hold for you the more accurate the Quotes we submit on your behalf are likely to be. We therefore strongly encourage Repairers to provide as much Quoting Data as possible and to regularly review the Quoting Data we hold to ensure that it is accurate and up to date.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE: Whilst we are continually working to improve our SmartQuote technology and believe that the SmartRepairQuotes it generates should (in most cases) provide a good indication of what a particular Repairer is likely to quote for a particular Job, within acceptable accuracy tolerances, we do not represent, warrant or guarantee to that SmartRepairQuotes will be an accurate in all cases. Given the complexity involved in quoting for repair work for home appliances or electronics, no system can be perfect and errors and inaccuracies will inevitably occur. You should take care to carefully review all SmartRepairQuotes which have been submitted on your behalf and update or amend them (either using the iWarranty Service or in discussions with Consumer Users) if you do not consider that they are accurate. Under no circumstances will we have any liability to you, for any losses or other matters, arising from inaccuracy or other error in any SmartQuote.
You can submit, review and update the Quoting Data we hold for you by updating your profile section within the iWarranty app, searching for the product make and model, selecting a service type and then selecting the quote and updating the price. A SmartQuote can also be updated at the time of receiving a job alert by updating the price and submitting this to the Consumer User. After a Job has been accepted you cannot update the Quote for that specific Job within the iWarranty Service. However, you can discuss any changes directly with the Consumer User and edit the price for future Quotes of a similar nature.
You can choose to submit Quotes for specific types of Jobs by amending the categories for which you have Job alerts selected.
You must ensure that all Quoting Data you provide to us is (at the time of submission) accurate and not misleading.
We make it clear to all Consumer Users that all Quotes are indicative only and only become binding on Repairers once the Consumer User has confirmed it directly with you. However, you should be aware that if you significantly change or depart from Quotes given, without good reason, this may adversely impact on a Consumer User’s experience and impact on the Feedback and ratings they provide. We therefore encourage you to provide us with comprehensive and up to date Quoting Data to ensure that your Quotes are as accurate as possible.

In addition you acknowledge that the number of Quotes which may be transmitted to a Consumer User in relation to any particular Job may be limited to Quotes from a specified number of Repairers. Accordingly, we do not provide any guarantee that registering as a Repairer will result in you being able to submit Quotes, or in Quotes being submitted on your behalf, in relation to any Jobs, or in relation to any particular volume of Jobs, even if you have purchased membership.
