& REFUSAL GUIDELINES

Last updated: version 13-3-24

INTRODUCTION

Please note: These guidelines are for educational purposes only. With these guidelines we can ensure that our customer will receive su:icient information before purchasing of our quality procedure and graduation process. If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to contact our sales team for additional information.

GRADATION PROCESS

Our team takes great pride in its grading process. Our gradation process is split into 2 parts: Testing procedure and gradation.

During our test procedure, our team uses one of our testing programs (Mobicode or Phonecheck) for the entire batch. This way we can ensure that all phones in the same batch are measured to the same standard.

Both programs test the same functions of the device, including:

Display Bluetooth

Front camera

SIM check (Call function)

Back camera Network connectivity (5G)

Microphones Wi-Fi

Vibration

Face ID/Touch ID

Flashlight GPS

Speakers

Hardware buttons

Charging port

Wireless charging (when available)

Frequency Sensors (Light, accelerometer, proximity, compass, gyroscope)

NFC

Regardless of the software being used, all devices are tested for optimal condition and come with a detailed report on the device condition. Please see below for an example of a test report.

PHONECHECK EXAMPLE

MOBICODE EXAMPLE

Any device that does not pass any of the test results, will not be oJered. The following reasons are examples of why a device might be rejected:

Blacklisted

Specific region models, such as China spec

Carrier Locked SIM tray missing/damaged

FMI locked

MDM locked

Demo mode activated

Not receiving/losing network connectivity

Not receiving/losing Wi-Fi signal

Touch ID/Face ID issues

Jailbroken SIM issues

Screen notification

Broken sensors

Battery notification Device cannot be restored to original Apple firmware

Water damage Display issues

Bootloop

Damaged housing/screen

True tone issues (not available or not working) Issues with wireless connections such as NFC and Bluetooth

Our team also checks whether the devices meet the following expectations:

• When third party screens are used, we will make sure these screens are meeting the requirements (comparable quality with color, brightness, touch features and True tone to the original iPhone screen)

• Screens have to be the same height as the iPhone frame and fit tightly. No space should be between the frame and iPhone (no nail tip should be able to fit through).

• Water indicators are in place in the device.

• When using third party replacement parts such as the SIM tray, we will try to color match as close as possible. There might however, be some slight di:erence in color from the original iPhone color.

• All devices are checked on whether physical damage is visible. If so, these devices are filtered out immediately.

Please rest assured our team always filters out these devices and they will not make their way to you.

GRADATION EXPLANATION

At Mobii, we have 3 di:erent grades: A, B and C grade. Currently, we only o:er A, AB and B grade to our customers to ensure the best quality available. But for this explanation, we will include C grade to explain the di:erences between the grades.

Devices o:ered in AB condition are those which fall inbetween A and B grade.

On the following pages, we will give you explanations of all grades and what to look out for. We will also include some picture examples.
