19.1 From time to time we will receive miscellaneous devices. We deem a device miscellaneous when at least 6 months have passed without the device being claimed. Miscellaneous devices originate from: a device we receive, that has no details contained in the package or sent along with the device, that allow us to reasonably match the device to an individual, order, or customer. These devices are held in quarantine for 6 months. During this period, we hope the owner or sender of the device will get in touch with our customer service team at contact@grademobile.co.uk to claim their device. Proof of purchase and the IMEI ID will be a minimum requirement to verify ownership. If a device is left unclaimed for over 6 months, we will recycle the device. We cannot hold unknown devices indefinitely, as this poses security risks. 

 

19.2 If an order is returned to us with insufficient information to complete your request, our Customer Support Team will attempt to contact you via the platform you have purchased the device from, or via the email address we have on file for you. We will attempt to make contact with you regularly, but if a response is not received within 6 months, and the device is unclaimed for this minimum length of time, we reserve the right to recycle the device. We cannot hold devices indefinitely as this poses a security risk. 

  

19.3 If an order cannot be delivered by the courier for any reason and is returned to us (the sender), our Customer Support Team will attempt to contact you via the platform you have purchased the device from, or via the email address we have on file for you. If a response is not received within 14 days, and the device is unclaimed for this minimum length of time, we reserve the right to process a full refund of the order. We cannot hold devices indefinitely as this poses a security risk.
