WE promise to use our best professional skills and expertise whilst working on your system. We will keep you informed of progress and/or changes as outlined below. We enter into this agreement with you in good faith and trust, understanding that all parties will perform to the best of their abilities and uphold their responsibilities as outlined in this agreement.
WE are sorry, but due to the complexities and sensitive nature of computer systems, peripherals and components, we cannot assume liability for your equipment, configuration, software and/or data. You agree that you have requested our services and that you accept any risks involved. There is no guarantee whatsoever assumed, implied or taken for granted for your hardware, software or data.
WE cannot guarantee the safety or integrity of your data where you elect that we backup your data. This is just a precautionary service that we offer to help you in the event that your own backup may not be adequate.
