8. Cellular Exchange has the right to change the specifics of each category for a particular item at any time. If you have already sent your item to Cellular Exchange prior to these changes, your Offer will not be changed. Some issues with the item may not be obvious when you have chosen to send your electronics to us. Some issues are of such a type that only an Cellular Exchange Technical Specialist may pinpoint. Based on Cellular Exchange's analysis, Cellular Exchange may adjust the price of your electronic device accordingly. Adjustments may be made because you have indicated the wrong model of your device or because Cellular Exchange Technical Specialist finds that the condition of your electronic device is not as you have represented. On a positive note, we may also give you MORE than what you have originally thought you deserved for your Product based on the analysis by an Cellular Exchange Technical Specialist. If you are unsure about how to categorize your electronic device, please contact us and we will be more than happy to assist you.
9. Cellular Exchange has the sole discretion to make the final evaluation of all electronic devices sent to Cellular Exchange. Cellular Exchange will notify you if there is a change in the pricing of your Product and you will then have FIVE (5) days to accept the new Offer. If you have not contacted us within those FIVE (5) days, Cellular Exchange shall presume you have accepted the new Offer and proceed with sending you the payment for the adjusted in the form of payment you have selected. The price Cellular Exchange has quoted you is valid for THIRTY (30) days. If we receive your item AFTER THIRTY (30) days, Cellular Exchange shall re-evaluate your item and price it at the CURRENT market value.

Cellular Exchange determines, in its sole discretion, which Products are eligible for Mail-In or through the Services and Cellular Exchange Website and for which eligible Products Cellular Exchange will provide an Offer.

In our “broken” category, Cellular Exchange has attempted to include the vast majority of extreme damages inflicted on your electronic devices but certain “extreme” damages are beyond the scope of this category, and if that is the case, Cellular Exchange shall adjust the price accordingly.

Second when the device is restored, a message will show up during the registration process stating, “Remote Management” and will state (a company name) OR during this process, it will ask for credentials for (a company name). If you see this, it is an indicator that your device consists of a corporate locked/IT policy. Cellular Exchange cannot accept devices with this corporate locked/IT policy because there are restrictions put on your device. Before sending over your device(s), please contact the company associated to have this removed.

If you do not respond to Cellular Exchange's email regarding the new Offer within FIVE (5) days, Cellular Exchange will continue with the processing. If your item has NO VALUE in accordance to Cellular Exchange assessment and you do not respond to our emails within the FIVE (5) days, WE WILL RECYCLE your device and you will receive no payment or the return of said item.
