Terms of Service.

This site is the property of and operated by Appliance Techs of Marin (herein known as A.T.O.M.).  It is A.T.O.M.'s policy that when you use our website you remain anonymous.  A.T.O.M.’s host web server may use a non-persistent cookie to collect your IP address, but does not reference it with any personal identifier.

 

Payment for parts and services rendered are due at the time of service, and may be paid for with cash, a personal check, and/or a major credit card, or other prearranged payment method acceptable to A.T.O.M.  Currently, we accept all major credit cards, ApplePay, and Venmo. However, we may from time to time modify our list of accepted credit cards or payment methods.

 

A.T.O.M. only repairs existing appliances of the brands listed on this website, regardless of what any search engine result might suggest. Please also note A.T.O.M. Does Not: (a) Install appliances on request, or (b) Repair antique stoves, induction-style ranges, glass top ranges, built-in refrigerators, drawer-style dishwashers, microwaves, any downdraft or hoods. (In these instances it's usually best to contact the Manufacturer for a list of independent servicers that they have trained to work on their brand). If you are currently dealing with a rodent infestation that has affected your appliance's ability to run properly, we strongly suggest that the rodents are dealt with first. This way it stops them from returning to the source and wreaking havoc again. Our company cannot and will not guarantee parts or labor if the rodents and sources of entry have not been eliminated prior to our returning to install the initial replacement parts.

Guarantees.

It is A.T.O.M.'s policy that the California Consumer Affairs' Bureau of Household Goods & Services (formerly  B.E.A.R.H.F.T.I.)  Laws & Regulations are regarded and applicable where necessary in its day to day operations. More specifically with regard to our guarantees, Article 3, Section 2736 will always apply:

"Guarantee or words of like import used in conjunction with the repair or installation of equipment as provided in the act shall be provided the customer in writing and shall include:  ...Where no guarantee is provided by the service dealer on his or her repair ... the service dealer shall be deemed to have provided a 30-day labor and a 90-day parts guarantee on the repair. The provisions of subsection (d) of this section shall not void or reduce any applicable guarantees or apply to a repair made under a manufacturer's guarantee or a service contract."

 

In addition, any replacement part(s) not purchased from A.T.O.M. will Not be covered by our company, but instead will fall under the guarantees of the original supplier where said customer completed the part(s) purchase. In such instances where parts are purchased separate from A.T.O.M., only A.T.O.M.'s labor guarantee will apply for that particular service call.

It is hereby noted that the aforementioned labor & parts guarantees apply to Residential housing only. When the service call is for a job site that serves as a vacation rental or a short-term rental, All said guarantees become null and void.
