Version 1.1 — Effective date: 26 Feb 2026
1. Ownership of Device
The CompliChef Label Printer (Sunmi V2 and accessories) remains the property of CompliChef at all times.
You are renting the device for use in your kitchen operations. The device may not be sold, transferred,
or assigned to any third party.
Devices supplied may be new or professionally refurbished. All devices — regardless of condition —
are fully tested, factory reset, and configured by CompliChef before dispatch. Refurbished devices
are held to the same performance and condition standard as new units and carry the same rental terms.
2. Deposit (£200)
A refundable deposit of £200 is required before your Label Printer is shipped.
This deposit is held securely and will be refunded to your original payment method within
7 business days of the device being returned in acceptable condition.
The deposit may be retained (in full or in part) if:
- The device is not returned within 14 days of cancellation
- The device is returned with damage beyond normal wear and tear (unless covered by Fair Play)
- The device is lost or stolen and not covered by Fair Play
- Essential accessories (charger, cable) are missing
3. Monthly Rental Fee (£30)
A monthly fee of £30 applies for as long as you have the Label Printer in your possession.
This fee covers device management, remote support, software updates, Fair Play coverage, and
3x rolls of 500 sticky labels per month.
How the £30/month is billed depends on how you added the Label Printer:
-
Added at signup (combined subscription): The £30/month rental is bundled into your
CompliChef subscription. You pay one combined monthly amount via PayPal that covers both your
CompliChef plan and the printer rental. Only the £200 refundable deposit is charged separately at the time of order.
-
Added after signup (standalone): An upfront payment of £60
(covering the first 2 months) is charged at the time of order, in addition to the £200 deposit.
After the initial 2 months, the £30/month continues automatically via a separate PayPal subscription.
In both cases, the monthly rental fee continues to apply for as long as the device is in your possession,
and will continue until the device is returned to and received by CompliChef — regardless of whether
your CompliChef subscription is active.
The monthly fee is non-refundable, even if you do not use the device during that month.
4. Label Rolls
Your monthly rental includes 3x rolls of 500 sticky labels per month, dispatched automatically.
Additional rolls can be purchased separately if required.
Label rolls are dispatched to your registered business address. If you require a change of delivery address,
please contact support before the next dispatch date.
5. Acceptable Use & Device Management
The Label Printer is pre-configured with the CompliChef label printing application.
The device is managed remotely by CompliChef to ensure security, performance, and compliance.
You agree to:
- Use the device solely for legitimate business purposes related to your kitchen operations
- Keep the device in a safe location when not in use
- Maintain a reasonable standard of care for the device
- Not attempt to remove device management, root, or modify system settings
- Not install unauthorised applications (the device is managed and restricted)
CompliChef may remotely lock, wipe, or update the device as needed for security or operational reasons.
6. Loss, Damage, or Replacement
If your Label Printer is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, you are responsible for the replacement cost.
Replacement charges:
- £150 if the device is lost or irreparably damaged within the first 12 months
- £100 if the device is lost or irreparably damaged after 12 months
Replacement charges apply in addition to the £200 deposit, which will be used to cover
the cost of the replacement. Any shortfall must be paid before a replacement device can be issued.
If the device is stolen, you must provide a police crime reference number within 7 days.
7. Fair Play – Accidental Damage Policy
We understand that accidents happen in busy kitchens. Our Fair Play policy provides
protection for genuine accidental damage at no additional cost.
What's covered:
- Accidental drops resulting in device failure
- Liquid spills causing internal damage
- Other genuine accidents occurring during normal kitchen use
What's NOT covered:
- Intentional damage or misuse
- Damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications
- Theft or loss (replacement charges apply)
- Damage occurring outside of the business premises
- Cosmetic damage that does not affect functionality (scratches, minor dents)
- Print head wear from normal use (this is a consumable component)
How to claim:
Contact support immediately at support@complichef.co.uk or 07514 544477.
We'll assess the damage remotely if possible, or arrange for the device to be returned for inspection.
If covered by Fair Play, we'll send a replacement at no charge.
CompliChef reserves the right to determine whether damage qualifies as "accidental" under Fair Play.
Our decision is final. Repeated claims may result in policy review.
8. Cancellation & Device Return
You may cancel your Label Printer rental at any time by contacting support. Cancellation does not
happen automatically when you cancel your CompliChef subscription.

- You are responsible for packaging the device securely

If the device is not returned within 14 days, the full replacement charge (£150 or £100)

Once we receive and inspect the device, your deposit will be refunded within 7 business days.
