Terms of service
1. Services
HardwareReports provides AI-assisted hardware engineering reports including diagnostic analysis, standard operating procedure documentation, and cost optimisation analysis. All services are delivered asynchronously via email in PDF format unless otherwise agreed.
2. Payment
All services require full payment in advance. Payment is processed via Stripe. By completing payment you agree to these terms. Prices are stated in GBP and include no VAT unless otherwise stated.
3. Turnaround times
- Standard diagnostic: 24–48 business hours from receipt of complete submission
- Priority diagnostic: 12–24 business hours

Turnaround times begin when a complete, usable submission is received. Incomplete submissions will be flagged before work begins.
4. Refund policy
No refunds are issued once work has commenced. If your report does not contain a clear root-cause hypothesis and at least one actionable fix step, we will revise it at no additional charge — this is our clarity guarantee. Refund requests for change-of-mind or where services have been fully delivered will not be accepted.
