We provide data wipe for both Android and iOS following the below method:

Android Erasure

High Level (3 Times) – DoD 5220.22-M – Overwrite the data with a value, then with the inverse of that value, then with a random value, verifying the write after each step. The first two wipes theoretically pull the magnetic field fully in one direction, then fully in the other, eliminating any residue of the original value. Data is overwritten in 1st pass with 0’s, 2nd pass with 1’s, and the last pass with random segments for data sanitization.

iOS Erasure

The defaulted Erasure for iOS is Secure Cryptographic Erase. The data on the device is encrypted by default, a new AES-256 encrypted file system is added and the old encryption keys are permanently removed during the erasure process. Once the device Secure Erase is completed we can regain the connection to the device and update the Erasure status. This encrypted file system replacement makes the recovering of old data impossible.

You can cancel your trade-in order before the courier picks up your device by sending a cancellation request to support.uk@northladder.com.

If we do not receive your confirmation on the revised offer within 7 days of sending the price deviation offer, we will assume that you accept the revised price. NorthLadder will retain possession of your device and proceed to completing the trade-in Order.
Please note that, as per the terms of the trade-in program, the order will no longer qualify for cancellation once the order is completed. 

The payout of the revised amount will be issued to you via bank transfer.

No, once NorthLadder receives the device and has started processing your trade-in and the transaction is final, the trade-in device cannot be returned. However, if you do not agree to the final trade-in value post assessment of the device, you can request NorthLadder to cancel the order and return your device.

Once your device arrives at NorthLadder’s evaluation facility, a thorough assessment is conducted to determine its condition. The revised price is based on this detailed evaluation, which considers key factors such as screen quality, body condition, battery health and overall functionality. 
After the evaluation is completed, we will email you the evaluation report along with the revised price offer. If you accept the new price, please confirm your acceptance using the link provided in the email. Should you decide not to proceed with the revised offer, you can reject the price quote through the same link, and we will arrange to return.
