2. Must comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, regulation and ordinances, including all import and export laws; and
3. May not infringe on any third party intellectual property rights, such as copyrights or trademarks.
Product Valuation. uSell or its 3rd Party Agent determines, in its sole discretion, which Devices are eligible for purchase, donation, returns and/or recycling by or through the Buyer Services. All Offers provided by uSell will be based on uSell's or its 3rd Party Agent's own determination of the Device value in reliance on the accuracy of the information you supply including the model, carrier, brand and condition. Devices must be sent to uSell or uSell's 3rd Party Agent with all internal and external components to receive an accurate Offer. To accept an Offer, you must provide your personal information and complete the checkout process. If you accept the Offer, you are agreeing to provide your Device to uSell for the Offer price by mailing your Device to uSell or its 3rd Party Agent. If you do not accept the Offer, the specific transaction expires. If you choose not to accept the Offer and decide at a later time that you do want to accept the Offer, you will need to start the transaction process again at which point the Offer may be different. Any Offer for your Device is non-transferable and not redeemable for any other consideration other than what is offered. If based on the information you supply, uSell or its 3rd Party Agent determines that the Device has minimal value, uSell may provide you an Offer of $0. If you decide to continue and accept the Offer of $0, you may send the Device to uSell or its 3rd Party Agent and uSell will accept the Device for recycling or donating. All recycled devices shall be recycled with an R2 Certified Recycler or an E-Stewards certified Recycler.
Device Inspection; Condition; and Tampering.
1. Inspection. Upon receipt of the Device, uSell or its 3rd Party Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the actual Device value, weighing factors that may include the actual make, model, condition and operational nature of the Device. As a part of the Device inspection, uSell or its 3rd Party Agent may test that it powers up and retains a charge (as applicable), that all parts are included and intact, and ensure that all available features function correctly. Most issues with your Device are easily noticed, however, certain issues with your Device may not be known to you at the time of submission, but if issues exist, uSell or its 3rd Party Agent will likely find them during inspection. If the Device differs in any way from the description you provided, uSell may provide you with a Revised Offer to reflect the actual Device value and notify you of the price change, as described in Section 5 below. uSell or its 3rd Party Agent has the option to accept or reject the Device, including, without limitation, to reject any Device not conforming to the description you provided, any Device modified in such a way that it no longer conforms to the original factory specifications, any locked Device whose lock cannot be bypassed or any Device no longer complying with applicable laws or regulations (e.g., FCC rules, etc.) and/or any Device damaged in transit. If uSell rejects the Device for any of these reasons or if the Device is lost or stolen in transit, the Offer automatically expires and is revoked. If you are unsure of the condition, model or any others factors about your Device, please e-mail us at [email protected].
2. Condition of the Device. Devices must conform to the following conditional ratings listed on the Website for each Device: (a) Damaged; (b) Good; or (c) Flawless. uSell or its 3rd Party Agent reserves the sole right to determine the final conditional rating of the Device received. All phones must have a clear and easy to read Electronic Serial Number ("ESN") or International Mobile Equipment Identity ("IMEI") number on the back or underneath the battery of the phone. Phones with the ESN or IMEI removed will be categorized as Damaged, and your Revised Offer may be reduced to $0.
3. Device Accessories. When sending your device to uSell or its 3rd Party Agent, you must include any accessories for the Device that are included in your description when uSell calculated your Offer on uSell or are specified in the instructions provided by uSell to ship your Device. These accessories may include adapters, power cables, batteries or any other item required to operate the device. For certain devices, accessories may not be required, but if uSell explicitly requires you to provide specified item(s), failure to include any of the item(s) may impact the final value of your Device and may result in a Revised Offer.
4. Passwords and Device Locks. You must remove all passwords and locks from your Device prior to sending them to uSell or its 3rd Party Agent. If uSell or its 3rd Party Agent is unable to fully and completely operate your Device without the use of passwords or device locks, then it may either re-categorize your product's condition as "Damaged," with a corresponding lower price, or return the Device. Examples of passwords and locks include, but are not limited to: BIOS passwords, logins to the operating system, administrator logins, iOS Activation Locks, personal identification number or PIN locks on any part of the system, biometric encryption, etc.
5. Clear for Activation.Your Device must be "Clear for Activation." This means that you are responsible for: (a) properly deactivating the Device with the cellular service carrier; (b) paying off any outstanding balance on that account prior to shipping the Device; and (c) ensuring your Device has not been reported as lost or stolen. If uSell or its 3rd Party Agent receives a Device that is NOT Clear for Activation, your Revised Offer may be reduced to $0.
6. Tampering with the Device.If uSell or its 3rd Party Agent receives a Device that has signs of being opened and/or there is internal damage to the Device that was clearly done by a person, uSell will revise the Offer. For example, if a Device is inoperable when submitted and uSell or its 3rd Party Agent finds missing parts and/or wires cut upon opening the Device, then uSell will provide a Revised Offer that may be reduced to $0.
Revised Offer. uSell reserves the right to revoke the original Offer and provide a "Revised Offer" for the Device if: (a) you indicated the Device is in the Flawless or Good condition but it is not as described, and/or (b) you indicated the Device is in the Damaged condition but it is crushed, bent or has missing parts, and/or (c) you indicated a different model than that you sent, and/or (d) the Device is received in the mail more than thirty (30) days after you accepted the original Offer, and/or (e) you indicated the Device is in the Flawless or Good condition, but does not have a functional battery in it, or the battery does not hold charge, and/or (f) you send your Device without mandatory accessories as described on uSell when you accepted the offer for the Device.
