T & C's

1. We generally work 9am – 6pm. Mon-Fri
2. Out of hours appointments are available and may attract a premium depending on time & distance.
3. Phone Calls, If we are with a client, please leave a message, we never answer the phone when with a client. I hope you’ll appreciate this policy.

1. Where a ‘per man day’ rate is offered, this is for 8 hours work.This could be 2 engineers working for 4 hours, or perhaps 4 man days, so 2 engineers for 2 days, etc. We will clarify with you directly.
2. Our rates are distance based, we have domestic and business local rates and adapt these for clients further afield where travel time is fairly accommodated. Generally, we allow 30 min total travel time, subject to a minimum charge. Please ask, we aim to be fair.
3. For clients further than 30 min travel time away, the minimum chargeable time on-site is 2 hours.
4. Local constitutes the general area of Clevedon, Tickenham, Portishead and Nailsea.
5. We will perform our service to the best of our ability at a time and location to be agreed between us. Sometimes appointments take longer than expected and we will spend more time with a client. We reserve the right to change your appointment time for any reason. We will notify you in advance if possible, but in any case, as soon as we are able to contact you informing you of a delay.

1. Whilst we take every care whilst repairing equipment, due to the bonding processes used by manufacturers, screens and plastic parts may not fit back together exactly as new. We can’t control this and cannot be held liable for this. We do our best to minimise this risk.
2. In the course of a repair, screen glass may crack due to released stress within the parts at no fault of our engineers. Screens are often glued and heat must be used to loosen the glue. We take every care and cannot be held responsible for glass damage or consequential loss.
3. Screen Coatings, some displays have visible coatings that wear over time. We always clean displays after a repair with a water based solution to remove fingers mark residue - this clean polished glass can on occasions make sceen coating wear appear more visible. This is not a fault with our repair, and in most cases the screen manufacturer does not consider this effect as a fault. It does not effect the usage of the product.
4. The visibility of any repair, witness marks or slight abrasions to screen plastics, aluminum surrounds etc cannot be avoided in all cases due to the manufacturing process – some units are manufactured not to be dismantled, these marks will be minimised through skill and care, but some cannot be avoided.
5. If a part cracks on disassembly, under section (1) or (2), parts used to repair may be from reclaimed assemblies and in a Grade-A condition.
6. If a part cracks on disassembly, under section (1) or (2), we will contact you immediately to discuss cost implications.
7. Grade-A means that although used, this part is in excellent condition for it's age and if there are any cosmetic blemishes, they will be very minor. Any blemishes outside of the display area will be minor. Any blemishes inside the display area will not be generally obvious when the display is in use, and will not impede fair usage of the display.
8. Submitting a Unit to QCD for repair or upgrade constitutes your acceptance of these terms and conditions.
9. None of these terms absolve us from fulfilling our obligation to complete all repairs in a professional manner.

1. Domain Name Renewal

   If a domain is not required, it is your responsibility to cancel the registration in sufficient time prior to invoicing.Once Nominet receive the renewal notice, generally on the date of our invoice, it is impossible to cancel the registration renewal and any invoice created will need to be paid.

   We suggest you give 14 days notice to cancel prior to renewal date.

2. Special Orders

   Equipment ordered specifically against a client request, computers built to an agreed client specification or other special orders items - are non-refundable once a part order has been dispatched to us by our supplier and their costs will be invoiced and be due.

3. Appointment Cancellation

   Within 48 hours: We are generally fully booked on any day, efficiently routing our days travel between client locations. A late cancellation generally leaves us sitting in our car for the duration of your cancelled appointment and we lose money as a result.If you have booked an appointment, late cancellation charges may be applied.

   The charge is 50% of the time booked within 48 hours notice. Half day or full day appointments are charged at the full rate. We don’t enjoy doing this, but we can’t afford to lose income either.

4. Missed Appointments

   If you are a no-show or not availble for an agreed appointment, the time booked to you will be invoiced.

5.  Parts ordered against an accepted estimate may incur a restocking fee of 10% – only if they can be returned to the supplier.If parts cannot be returned, the items will need to be paid for unless they can be easily sold onto another client at Quick Call Dave Ltd’s discretion.

All phone calls are recordered for quality control.

Recordings are securely stored and erased on a regular cycle and only Dave has access to them (no staff members).

Dave is the company data controller and can be contacted using the contact form at the foot of our home page.

Under GDPR we require a lawful reason to record calls:

Clients often wonder how Dave, who is Dyslexic can run a successful IT Support company. Tech is not a problem for Dave, he is completely immersed in it - dyslexic individuals often have a strength which is way out there compared to a non dyslexic person. However, that strength is often balanced with the difficulty to carry out  everyday tasks, that are memory related. Remembering to call someone, the details of a conversation, ordering a part on time - this is really tricky. It is through leveraging technology to overcome these relative difficulties, such as using shared calendars, spell checkers, a ticket system to log written communications, tickets having reminders and notifications, recording calls etc - all of these tools, used together, ensure that work is completed on time and to the specification and costs agreed.

We frequently have long discussions with clients regarding the costs for items of equipment, labour charges and deadlines. Verbal agreement of charges etc. Recording calls allows Dave to replay a conversation and make notes of what was agreed for the avoidance of a needless misunderstanding and ensure we deliver what was agreed at the price agreed.

Clients often remark that Dave is OCD - not QCD! The OCD traits stem from Dave's fear of forgetting things, and refusing to allow Dyslexia to hold him back, the OCD level of attention to note taking, tickets and scheduling - overcome his relative difficulties.

We believe that, on balance, reviews left for QCD online by clients, validate the lawful processes we use to solve our clients problems.

Thank you for your understanding.
