Due to the nature of computer work, no guarantees can be made as to loss of data or damage to parts due to existing faults. Whilst we will take precautions and great care to preserve data, the client must accept that there is some risk of loss of data and in some cases damage to parts when carrying out computer repairs.

1b. Data recovery service…
Our data recovery service is priced according to the nature of recovery needed. There is always a charge whether the data can be recovered or not. This is because the process is the same regardless of data found and desired data is not always recoverable.
