Introduction
Our site is intended to be used by people registered with us and residents of the United Kingdom. We have the right to accept or reject orders from any persons outside of this.
You are able to access certain parts of this site without registering and other parts once registered.
If you do not accept any of our Terms & Conditions you should not continue to use our site.
By undertaking a transaction with us, you are confirming that your personal details are correct, the details you provide about the item is true and accurate, that you are over the age of 18, you are the sole owner of the item and that you agree with the Terms & Conditions
Quote
The quote we provide is a price we believe to be fair under our pricing system. The quote for selling your device permanently is slightly more than if you were using our buyback service because we promise to hold your item for a minimum of 35 days (buyback period + 7 additional late days). We also want the buyback price to be affordable when buying back your item. By offering slightly less than you may be able to get selling your item, it helps us to deal more so with customers who genuinely plan to buy back their item in the future.
The quotes range from a minimum of £60 up to a maximum of £600. Any items that we value below £60 we are not able to accept. Any items valued by us at over £600 will be capped at £600.
Quotes sent to an agent will be honoured for 7 days.

Extensions in the late period will cost the fee as laid out above. 28 days will be added to the expiry date.

Day one of the buyback begins on the day and time that you drop your item off with one of our agents.
All payments must be received by the 28th day/time to be within date or by the 35th day/time to be without risk of being resold.

- Standard period
- Which is days 8 to 28. Payment must be received by the 28th day/time. This is the standard quoted buyback price as set out in the original agreement.
- Late period
- Which is days 29 to 35. During this period each day carries a small additional fee as laid out in the fee structure section. Payment must be received by 35th day/time to avoid risk of losing the item.
Please note: This period is not automatically added on, it needs to be requested, and once requested we can hold the device for up to an extra 7 late days.

Promotional Codes and offers
Promotional codes can only be used for new buybacks and can only be entered at the beginning of a buyback during the quote process. The discount will apply to the buyback or extension fee in the first 28 days of the buyback. If a buyback is extended for a further 28 days, the extension fee will be discounted but then the fees will revert back to normal going forward.
When entering the promotional code during the quote process on the ‘Buyback Details’ page, it will clearly show the original price and the new discounted price for both redeeming and extending.
Promotional codes have expiry dates when they will stop working. However once a quote is submitted using a valid promo code, it will continue to work for the life of the quote (7 days).
T & C Alterations
Cashoot reserves the right to make changes to the terms & conditions. If any changes are made, the T&C's that will apply, will be the T&Cs that existed on the day that the buyback began.
