By submitting an Order through our Site, you warrant that your Device(s) comply with these Terms and that you have answered all questions truthfully and honestly and graded the Device correctly.
We may not offer a Price for any Device(s) locked either via a password or by any associate accounts (i.e. iCloud, Google, or Samsung). You must ensure that all Devices are de-registered from any associated accounts (including any "find my iPhone/iPad" applications or similar applications) and are either on a UK network or unlocked. If any of these accounts are still active and you have not replied to our email after 7 Business Days, we’ll automatically process your Device(s) and recycle responsibly on your behalf. You acknowledge that the value of a locked Device, and any revised offer connected to a locked Device, may be zero pounds.
All Prices quoted to you are subject to the questions being accurately answered by you and the Device(s) being graded correctly.
When we receive your Device following the completion of an Order, we will conduct a diagnostic check on the Device to ensure that the Device meets our Terms and that the Order is complete. This process takes up to 48 hours (in our peak period) from the point we receive your Device(s).
Following the diagnostic check, if your Device(s) does not match the answers to the questions posed to you and is allocated a condition grading that is different to that specified in the Order, we will propose an adjusted offer Price by email to you (“Adjusted Offer”). If you choose to decline the Adjusted Offer, we are happy to return the Device, subject to clause 7.2, for free, in accordance with clause 6.5. We have the final decision on all offers made for any Device. Any Adjusted Offer will be deemed to be automatically accepted by you, and the new Price processed for payment, if you do not reply to our Adjusted Offer within 14 days. For the avoidance of doubt and to maintain the integrity of our assessment process, any photographic evidence submitted to us in support of a grading discrepancy claim will be subject to analysis via AI detection software. Mazuma reserves the right to reject claims where evidence of image manipulation or alteration is identified.
If you accept our Adjusted Offer, then you accept that the findings on our diagnostic check are true and accurate.
Following the diagnostic check, if your Device(s) does not power on, you will be given a revised offer by email depending on the Device(s) received (“Revised Offer”). If you accept this Revised Offer, we will recycle your Device(s) responsibly and erase the memory within 28 days of your acceptance of the revised offer. If you do not accept the Revised Offer, your Device(s) will be returned to you in accordance with clause 6.5. You acknowledge that the Price of a non-power up ("NPU") Device, and any revised offer connected to a NPU Device, may be zero pounds.
If you reject an Adjusted Offer or a Revised Offer (“Rejected Offer”), we will arrange for the Device(s) to be sent back to you subject to the payment of any applicable postage cost to do so (“Return Fee”). This may take up to 14 days from the date of your rejection. We do not accept responsibility for non-delivery of Devices or damage in transit during the return process. We will assist you in obtaining any compensation that the particular courier may offer under their standard terms, if applicable. This assistance is not guaranteed and if no compensation is paid by the courier, we will not make any payments.
We reserve the right to claim any Device that we have not heard back on following e-mail communication of an Adjusted Offer or a Revised Offer to the registered e-mail address after 14 days. In such instances, you will be paid the Price offered in such Adjusted Offer or Revised Offer.
We cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of emails because of spam email or junk filters. Please check your junk and spam folders. This is also noted on our Order confirmation emails.
Once received all Devices will be fully wiped and all data destroyed using PhoneCheck. Any Devices that cannot be wiped/erased using PhoneCheck will be destroyed or sent back to you subject to the payment of any applicable Return Fee.
If you reject an Amended Offer or a Revised Offer for your Order we will return your Device/s. Please allow 3-5 Business Days. If the delivery fails on the first attempt we will contact you by phone and email before returning for a second time. If the second attempt fails you must contact us to arrange a third delivery at your own cost. If there is no contact for 5 Business Days we will automatically process your payment at the Price offered in any Adjusted Offer or Revised Offer.
All Devices that are the subject of a Rejected Offer are returned on a Tracked 48 hour service with Royal Mail, with a value covered up to £150. Should you wish to increase the level of cover up to £750 there will be a charge payable of £9.85. You will be given the opportunity to select this increased cover shortly after we receive your Rejected Offer, and it is very important that you select this option as soon as possible so that the Device is returned with the appropriate level of cover. We recommend you review the Royal Mail’s own compensation arrangements at: https://www.royalmail.com/retail-compensation-policy-loss to ensure you are satisfied that the Device has the necessary cover you require when it is returned to you. We accept no responsibility or liability for the Device after it has been handed to Royal Mail, and will only account to you for any compensation which is equal to the amount we receive from Royal Mail.
Device(s) received that are on the asset watch list (typically as a result of being within the first 6 months of contract with a network such as EE) are unable to be sold during this period due to the networks vested interest in the Device(s). We will return these Device(s) to you subject to a repatriation charge of £15.50 per order.
We support and adhere to the ‘Stop Stolen Mobiles Being Recycled’ code of practice set by the Home Office and the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit.
We will check the IMEI/Serial number of all Devices received on the CheckMEND (www.checkmend.com) database of lost and stolen property records to ensure no lost or stolen items are purchased.
If a Device is found to have a record that indicates it has been lost or stolen or we become aware of any other issue relating to its ownership, we will notify you by email and quarantine the Device for an initial period of 28 days ("the Quarantine Period"). Payment for Device will be withheld by us until the CheckMEND record does not show the Device as stolen or lost.
In such circumstances you will be required to contact CheckMEND to prove that you are the rightful owner of the Device and have the lost or stolen records associated with it cleared within the Quarantine Period and/or resolve any other issue relating to its ownership.
If during the Quarantine Period the Device is cleared on the CheckMEND database and any other issue relating to ownership of the same is resolved, your sale will be processed and paid for as normal.
However, where the Device is not cleared on CheckMEND within the Quarantine Period, we will be required by law to hold onto the Device, pass it to the Police or other law enforcement body or dispose of it, and by entering into this contract, you expressly agree to this action. You will not receive any payment if such steps are taken.
UK legislation states that we cannot under any circumstances return or pay for a Device which is lost, stolen or recorded as such unless endorsed in writing by CheckMEND and by such you agree to pay any return costs involved.
If you have received payment from us for a Device which we subsequently become aware of an issue relating to ownership, you agree to immediately reimburse us in full, within 3 Business Days following a written request by us, for any such payment pending an investigation by us or any law enforcement body into ownership of the Device.
We shall be entitled to set-off any sums properly due and owing to us under any contract made between you and us incorporating these terms and conditions against any sums owed by us to you under the same or any other contract between us. We will inform you in writing of any set-off carried out by us pursuant to this provision.
If we at any time become aware of any issues relating to the ownership of the Device, you agree to co-operate with us fully with a view to resolving the issues. You may also be contacted by the Police and/or other law enforcement authorities.
We may disclose your details to the Police or other authorised bodies (such as, but not limited to, network operators and insurance companies) for the purpose of investigating or preventing a crime. By entering into this contract you agree to us supplying data to the police or other authorised bodies for the purpose of the prevention and detection of crime, arrest and prosecution of offenders or for the recovery of stolen property.
Please note, if a counterfeit device is received, we will be unable to make payment for it. In such instance you be required to cover any return postage costs, or the Device will be responsibly disposed of. If we do not hear from you, the Device will automatically be responsibly recycled on day 15.
You shall:

When your order has been placed, the prices quoted are guaranteed for 14 days from the ‘Order Approved’ date. (This is the date on which we send you a confirmation email) If your phones are received after 14 days from the ‘Order Approved’ date, the up-dated, current prices will apply. This could be disappointing – so to help you, we’ll send a reminder email during the 14 day guarantee period.
We offer an option of cheque or bank transfer. You will be required to select a payment option when placing each online Order. Unfortunately, this payment option cannot be changed once the order is placed.
When we receive your Device(s), we will check that the sale is complete, and that the Device(s) meet our terms and conditions. Providing it does, we will post/make payment to you, by cheque or bank transfer on the same day of receipt (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays). Same day payment does not apply to sale items received after 2pm and in events that are out of our control.
Cheque payments can only be made to the name and address given when you register. If you have damaged your cheque, you can have it reissued, by posting us a written request and including the damaged cheque to the following address:

We cannot, under any circumstances, recall or reissue bank transfer payments once they have been made.

We will not be liable for any losses that you may suffer if you fail to receive payment if a payment is sent to an incorrect account or recipient, as a result of any failure by you to correctly submit payment details when using the Website and not notifying us of this error.
Please note, in some exceptional circumstances we have experienced clearance of funds taking up to 5 business days in certain bank/building society accounts.
Payment processing depends on third parties and is out of our control. We will not be liable for any third-party action or inaction which results in a delay of payment.
We have various posting options including Royal Mail.
Phones and devices must be packaged in accordance with our packaging instructions to ensure safe and successful delivery to us.
As we are not the legal owner of the goods at time of you sending the Device(s) to us, our ability to make claims on your behalf maybe impacted as a result.
Registered deliveries should be sent to us at Mazuma headquarters:
Mazuma Mobile Limited
Unit 2, Southgate Trade Park, Southgate,
White Lund Industrial Estate,
Morecambe, LA3 3PB
Please see posting options and packaging instructions for further details.
We do not accept responsibility for any items that are lost or damaged in transit. When sending Device(s) to us, you are responsible for contracting with the third party carrier and we are not a party to that contract. We therefore have no liability under it. However, we will (if applicable) assist you in obtaining any compensation that the particular courier may offer under their standard terms. This assistance is not guaranteed and if no compensation is paid by the courier, we will not make any payments.
When sending the Device(s) and engaging with a third party carrier, it is your responsibility to:
Please remember that by sending your device to us, you agree to release us from all and any claims, losses or damages with respect to the device, any data stored or contained therein or on any media used in conjunction with the device (whether in the form of personal details, SMS, photos, games, songs or other data (“Data”)). We accept no responsibility in relation to the security, protection, confidentiality or use of such data and it is your responsibility to ensure so far as practicable that Data is removed from the device prior to you sending it to us.
Although in our experience the risk of Data left on your device being accessed by us or by any third party to whom we subsequently sell the device are very low, we draw to your attention the following points which will help you decide whether to accept the risk of selling us a device which may contain accessible Data.
If your device is functional, we strongly advise that you delete all personal data from the device prior to sending it to us. Please use our free Mobile Data Delete Tool to obtain step-by-step instructions on how to delete personal data from your device.
If your device is non-functional and has a "remote wipe" function, then we strongly advise that you attempt wiping the device prior to sending it to us.
If your non-functional device cannot be data wiped but has a PIN lock (a password or combination which needs to be entered to access the phone when switched on) then this will block third party access and mean that anyone repairing the device will be required to return the phone to its factory settings, in the process wiping the Data held on the device.
Please note it may not be possible to delete Data directly from a non-functioning device. If you send us a non-functioning device you are therefore accepting the risk that it may still contain Data which may be accessible to any person who repairs the phone. This may include third parties to whom we have sold the device for spare parts.
Please note that while (as stated above) we do not accept any liability in respect of the security, protection, confidentiality or use of Data included on any device, as a matter of practice we do not transfer any device to any third party except on terms which require them to wipe that Data.
If your Device(s) is activation locked we will contact you to obtain instructions on how to remove the lock. Please note it can take up to a month for Apple to remove an activation lock, we are happy to hold the Device(s) for this time and reprocess them when unlocked. Whilst being held, the Device(s) are subject to price changes. The Device(s) will be held for 30 days from point of initial testing, following 30 days of no contact the Device(s) will be responsibly recycled and automatically processed at the amended price for activation locked device(s) which is £0.
If we receive any Device(s) with Apple Stolen Device or Android Theft Protection locks enabled, we will be unable to make payment for them. Such Device(S) will be returned to you and you will be required to cover any return postage costs. We will return these devices to you subject to a charge of £15.50 per order.
We are not liable for any loss or damage that you may suffer as a result of entering into these Terms, regardless of whether such loss or damage was foreseeable or not. This includes, but is not limited to, any loss or damage arising from negligence, breach of contract, or any other cause.
We shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage that is not directly caused by our actions or omissions, including any business loss or damage.
Our total liability to you for any breach of contract or negligence shall not exceed the value of the device.
Nothing in these Terms shall affect your legal rights.
When we refer to "in writing" in these Terms, this includes email.
Any notice given by one of us to the other under or in connection with the Contract must be in writing and be delivered by hand, sent by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service, or email.
A notice is deemed to have been received:
In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an email, that such email was sent to the specified email address of the addressee.
The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.
We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control or due to our compliance with any applicable laws or regulations.
The Contract is between you and us. No other person has any rights to enforce any of its terms.
The laws of England and Wales apply to these terms, although if you are resident elsewhere you will retain the benefit of any mandatory protections given to you by the laws of that country. Any disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This means that you can choose whether to bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales or in the courts of another part of the UK in which you live.
We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time.
We may transfer our rights under these terms to another business without your consent, but we will notify you of the transfer and make sure that your rights are not adversely affected as a result. You are not allowed to transfer your rights under these terms to anyone without our prior written consent.
