The trade-in service enables you to sell your used Product to Likewize for a cash price equivalent to the value of your Product as determined by Likewize dependent on its condition, which will be advised to you (as referred to in clause 9 below). Therefore, by entering the details of your used Product, accepting the Terms and sending the Product to Likewize for evaluation, you will be granting an irrevocable and confirmed instruction to Likewize that you wish to sell your Product and to authorise Likewize to remit the value to you (if any) by a bank transfer to your account.
Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to money, payment or any other form of remuneration from us in exchange for your Product, is to be understood as the purchase price which you may be entitled to.
These Terms will apply to any contract between Likewize, which is a company registered in the UK under company number 08401611 and with registered office at Crewe Logistics Park, Jack Mills Way, Shavington, Crewe, CW2 5XF (referred to herein as "us", "our", "we" and "Likewize") for the trade in of Products by you (the “Contract”). Please read these Terms carefully and make sure that you understand them, before trading-in any Products via the Site. Please note that before trading-in a Product or placing an order you will be asked to agree to these Terms. If you refuse to accept these Terms, you will not be able to trade-in any Products via the Site.
You should print a copy of these Terms or save them to your computer for future reference.
We may amend these Terms from time to time as set out in clause 7. Every time you wish to trade-in Products, please check these Terms to ensure you understand the terms which will apply at that time.

- Please remove your data from the Product
o 3.2 It is your responsibility to:
a. Remove your sim card (the "SIM") and any memory card before sending your Product to us.

If you fail to remove the SIM or memory card, you agree to release us from all claims, losses or damages with respect to the use of the SIM or memory card arising before, or after receipt of your Product.
b. Delete and remove all personal files and data, whether in the form of personal details, SMS, photos, games, songs or other data (the "Data") from the Product and reset your Product to factory settings. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines to wipe the data:
a. for Apple devices - Please refer to Apple’s guidance on deletion of Data, storing Data to iCloud or other backup, and resetting your Product to factory settings. Additionally,switch off “Find My iPhone” or equivalent on your Product.
b. for all other manufactures – strictly follow their guidance on deletion of Data, storing Data to the cloud or other backup, and resetting your Product to factory settings.

Likewize shall have no obligations in respect of wiping or removing the Data. Likewize accepts no responsibility for failure to maintain the integrity or confidentiality of any Data in the device.
c. Notwithstanding clause 3.6 below, if Likewize receives your Product with Data still left on it Likewize will reject the Product and cancel the Contract. Please ensure you remove all Data and reset the Product to factory settings before handing or sending it to Likewize.
d. Please remove any security locks and disable “find my Phone” functions before sending your Product to Likewize, if these are in place this will disable access to the Product and its value will be zero.
o 3.3 By sending your Product to us, you agree to release us from all claims, losses or damages with respect to the SIM, Data or Product. We accept no responsibility in relation to the security, protection, confidentiality or use of such Data or the SIM. You acknowledge that once we have Purchased the Product from you we may resell the Product to a third party, and we have no control over what the third party does with the Product or who they may resell the Product to. It is therefore vital that you follow the requirements set out in this clause 3 regarding the removal of your data and Content from the Product.
o 3.4 Please back up any data or other information and content you want to keep from the Product on a secure cloud based system or other data storage device (in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended procedure) before sending the Product to Likewize.

o 3.7 It will not be possible for the Customer to obtain any data or other content from the Eligible Product, whether stored on the phone or memory card, once it has been re-set to default factory settings and the data erased when sent to Likewize so it is strongly recommended that the Customer backs up such content before sending any Eligible Products to Likewize. Likewize will provide clear information relating to this requirement to the Customer before the customer sends the Eligible Product to Likewize. In any event, the Customer agrees to release Likewize from all claims, losses or damages with respect to the use by any third party (to whom Likewize may sell the Eligible Product or any ultimate owners) of data, memory card or sim card due to customer failing to permanently erase the data from the device.
