Liability & Risk Acknowledgment

The Customer acknowledges and understands that due to the age and condition of vintage audio equipment, certain risks are inherent in the repair process. Specifically:

• Delicate Components: Vintage audio equipment often contains aged, fragile, or irreplaceable components. Geek Stuff will exercise all reasonable care, but cannot guarantee against breakage or failure during repair, handling, or testing.

• Risk of Further Degradation: The repair process may involve opening, cleaning, or soldering components that have become brittle over time. This work could inadvertently cause additional degradation or damage, which may be unavoidable due to the equipment's condition.

• Availability of Original Parts: Many parts for vintage audio equipment are no longer manufactured. While we will make every effort to source quality replacement parts, substitutions may be necessary and could impact the equipment's original sound, function, or value.

• No Guarantee of Full Restoration: Due to the limitations imposed by age and condition, Geek Stuff cannot guarantee that repairs will fully restore the equipment to its original specifications or functionality or prevent future issues from arising.

• Limited Warranty: Geek Stuff provides a limited warranty for 30 days on the specific parts and repairs performed as detailed in the repair invoice. This warranty covers only the replaced parts and labour directly associated with the repair and does not apply to unrelated failures or components. The warranty does not cover damage due to user handling, misuse, environmental exposure, or further age-related degradation of other parts. Any warranty claims are subject to repair or replacement at Geek Stuff's discretion. The customer is responsible for shipping costs for any warranty-related returns.

• Limit of Liability: In the event of any claim, the maximum liability of Geek Stuff shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Customer for the repair service. Under no circumstances shall Geek Stuff be liable for any consequential, incidental, or indirect damages including loss of profits, loss of data, or other damages arising from the use or inability to use the repaired equipment.

By signing below, the Customer agrees to these terms and acknowledges the potential risks involved with repairing vintage or second-hand audio equipment. The Customer also acknowledges and agrees to these limitations of liability and releases Geek Stuff from any further claims regarding the equipment described herein.
