12 Month Warranty

Buy With Confidence

Every refurbished phone sold by Backed Buy comes with a FREE 12 month warranty, covering eligible faults that arise during normal use.

Your warranty starts from the date your phone is delivered.

What Does Our Warranty Cover?

Our warranty covers eligible hardware or component faults that develop during normal use during the 12 month warranty period.

If you experience a problem with your phone, contact Backed Buy and we’ll arrange for the device to be returned and assessed.

What Happens If My Warranty Claim Is Accepted?

Depending on the circumstances, Backed Buy may:

Repair your device

If appropriate, we’ll repair the handset and test it again before returning it to you.

Replace your device

Where a replacement is appropriate, it will be the same condition grade as the device originally supplied, or better.

Provide a refund

Where appropriate, a refund may be issued instead of a repair or replacement.

The appropriate solution will depend on the circumstances of the individual warranty claim.

What Isn’t Covered?

Our warranty doesn’t cover problems resulting from circumstances including:

  • Accidental damage, including drops or cracked screens caused after purchase
  • Liquid or water damage occurring after purchase
  • Misuse, neglect or intentional damage
  • Unauthorised third party repairs or modifications
  • Rooting, jailbreaking or unauthorised software modifications
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Damage caused by failing to follow appropriate usage or maintenance instructions

Normal battery degradation through everyday use isn’t automatically considered a warranty fault. However, if you believe your battery has developed an actual fault, you can contact us and we’ll assess it.

How to Make a Warranty Claim

Contact Backed Buy before returning your phone and tell us about the problem you’re experiencing.

We’ll provide instructions for returning your handset so it can be inspected and tested.

    Before returning your phone, you should:
  • Back up any important data
  • Remove personal accounts and security locks, including Find My iPhone / Activation Lock or the equivalent
  • Remove your SIM card and any personal items from the phone
  • Follow the return instructions provided by Backed Buy

Your handset may need to be erased during inspection, testing or repair, so please don’t rely on data remaining on the device.

Your Phone Will Be Assessed

When we receive your handset, we’ll inspect and test it to establish the fault and determine whether the issue is covered by the warranty.

If the claim is accepted, we’ll proceed with the appropriate repair, replacement or refund.

If the handset is repaired, it will be tested again before being returned to you.
