  • You are authorised to enter into contracts on behalf of yourself or your organisation
  • All information you provide is accurate, current and complete

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts where we have reason to believe these terms have been breached.

4. Free Consultation Appointments

4.1 Nature of the Service

We offer free 30-minute initial consultation appointments (by phone or video call) to discuss your PCB, assembly or manufacturing requirements. These consultations are provided without charge and without obligation to place an order.

4.2 Booking

Appointments can be booked online via the booking form at synatel.co.uk/book-appointment. A booking is confirmed only when you receive a written confirmation from us. We reserve the right to decline or reschedule any booking request.

4.3 Cancellation and Rescheduling

We ask that you provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. To do so, please email webmail@synatel.co.uk with your booking reference. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule appointments where necessary, and will give you as much notice as possible in such cases.

4.4 Information Shared During Consultations

Any technical information, design details or business requirements you share during a consultation will be treated as confidential and used only for the purposes of assisting with your enquiry. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details of how your data is handled.

4.5 No Guarantee of Availability

Appointment slots are subject to staff availability. Completing a booking form does not guarantee availability until confirmed in writing by us.

5. Orders and Quotes

5.1 Quotes

Quotations provided on this platform are indicative only and do not constitute a binding offer. Prices are subject to change without notice and may vary based on final specification, quantity, lead time and material availability.

5.2 Placing an Order

An order is placed when you submit your PCB specifications and payment via our checkout. A contract between you and SYNATEL Instrumentation Limited is formed upon our written confirmation of acceptance (typically by email).

5.3 Technical Files

You are solely responsible for the accuracy of all Gerber files, BOM data and specifications you upload. We will manufacture to the files provided and accept no liability for errors, omissions or design defects in files submitted by you.

5.4 Pricing

All prices shown are in Pounds Sterling (GBP) and exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated. VAT at the current UK rate will be applied at checkout to UK orders. Import duties or taxes applicable to international orders are the buyer's responsibility.

6. Payment

Payment is due in full at the time of ordering unless a credit account has been agreed in writing. We accept major debit and credit cards via our PCI-compliant payment processor. We do not store full payment card details.

We reserve the right to cancel any order where payment cannot be verified or where fraud is suspected.

7. Delivery and Lead Times

Lead times are estimates only and may vary based on product complexity, material availability and logistics. We will not be liable for delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including carrier delays, customs clearance or force majeure events.

Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to the address specified in your order. Title passes upon receipt of full payment.

8. Cancellations and Returns

Because PCB orders are manufactured to your specific design files, they are custom-made goods and are not eligible for return or refund once production has commenced, except in the following circumstances:

  • The boards are materially defective due to a manufacturing error on our part
  • The boards do not match the confirmed specification

Claims for defective goods must be submitted within 14 days of receipt, with photographic evidence. We will at our discretion arrange a replacement, credit or refund.

Orders may be cancelled without charge within 2 hours of placement, provided production has not commenced. To cancel, email webmail@synatel.co.uk immediately.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or create derivative works from our website content without our prior written consent.

10. Confidentiality

We treat your design files, technical data and any information shared during consultations as confidential. We will not share your files or information with any third party other than ALLPCB or our manufacturing partners for the sole purpose of fulfilling your order, and will not use your designs or consultation information for any other purpose.
