If We ascertain that adequate backup measures haven’t been instituted by You, We reserve the right to refuse the provision of Services, regardless of the reasons behind any data loss or damage. Furthermore, You are tasked with the restoration and reconstruction of any lost or altered files, data, or programs. We do not guarantee confidentiality of data on Your Device, disclaiming any form of agreement or obligation to maintain confidentiality.

We will notify You once the Services are completed and Your Device is ready for collection. However, if You fail to retrieve Your Device or arrange for its return within sixty (60) days (or a legally mandated longer duration) post the completion of Services, despite Our attempts to contact You, Your Device will be considered abandoned and will subsequently become Our property, in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. In such cases, We retain the right to dispose of or use the abandoned device as deemed appropriate.

In accordance with this Agreement regarding your obligation to back up your data, we shall, as necessitated by applicable law, ensure the safety of your device while it is under our service care. In the unlikely occurrence that your device is lost, stolen, or damaged during the service time, our sole discretion will guide whether to repair or replace your device with a similar one. The replacement unit might be new or refurbished, depending on our choice.

 

11. LIMITED WARRANTY

Repairs undertaken, components utilized during services, and any replacement devices issued in line with this Agreement are warranted for a one-year period following the service completion date (referred to as the “Limited Warranty”), complying with the terms and exclusions outlined below.

A. EXCLUSIONS FROM LIMITED WARRANTY

This Limited Warranty is not applicable for services or repairs on devices that have encountered exposure to moisture or liquids exceeding the manufacturer’s specified usage, or damages resulting from misuse, external factors, Acts of God, regular wear and tear that does not affect the original manufacturer’s intended use, battery leakage, or subsequent damages. Additionally, this Limited Warranty does not cover defects attributed to your actions, like mishandling, unauthorized alterations, or exceeding the designed operational limits, among others. This warranty is exclusively applicable to particular software services outlined herein and cannot be transferred.

B. OWNERSHIP OF REPAIRED OR REPLACED PARTS AND DEVICES

Except when prohibited by law, all devices, components, and parts that are replaced become our property. You forfeit any claims you may have to the replaced or repaired items under any existing law.

C. WARRANTY CLAIM PROCEDURE

In situations where your repaired or replaced device fails within the warranty tenure, it should be sent back to our service center for assessment. You will be responsible for any related shipping expenses. We will undertake repairs free of charge if we verify the defect, at our sole discretion.

D. NO-LEMON POLICY

For devices replaced, if three repairs have been covered under this Limited Warranty and a fourth repair becomes necessary within the warranty duration, we will replace your device with another of similar type and quality, which could be either new or refurbished as per our judgement.

 

12. DISCLAIMERS

This segment delineates the full extent of our obligations and your sole remedy concerning our services. Except as explicitly mentioned in this agreement, we renounce all other warranties, assertions, and guarantees as legally permitted.

 

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the furthest extent allowed by law, our liability is limited. We are not accountable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages that arise from your usage or inability to utilize our services or website. Our total liability will not exceed the higher of the service fees you paid or $100.00.

 

14. MODIFICATION

We hold the right to alter this agreement at any moment, with your continued usage of our services or website signifying your acceptance of these amendments. We also maintain the right to suspend or terminate your access to our services or website for reasons including, but not limited to, misuse, excessive usage, or failure to pay fees or charges.

 

15. SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER

If any provision of this agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it should be adjusted to retain its intended meaning and objective, or removed from this agreement if alteration is unfeasible. Not enforcing any term or right of this agreement does not constitute a waiver of that term or right.

 

16. META-DATA COLLECTION

During diagnostic evaluations, we might collect meta-data logs to augment the efficacy of diagnostic tools and symptom analysis in the repair process. This data, potentially shared with our affiliates, is exclusively used to refine this process and will not be further disseminated without your agreement.

 

17. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Any disagreements with us must be settled through binding arbitration or in a small claims court, rather than standard jurisdiction courts. Both parties consent to individual arbitration, forgoing the rights to a jury trial or to partake in class actions or representative proceedings. This arbitration agreement, detailed in sections A to E, persists even after this agreement’s termination, and adheres to various procedures and provisions.

 

18. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Consistent with Section 17A of this agreement, any claims initiated after the termination or cancellation must be lodged individually, and not as part of any class, collective, or representative proceeding. Both parties relinquish the right to initiate any class action in any forum. The arbitration clause contains more specifics regarding the conditions and procedures governing dispute resolutions.

 

19. CLAIM LIMITATION

Except where otherwise permitted by the pertinent law, all claims pertaining to the Services must be initiated within one (1) year from the date of the incident causing the claim. If the claim is not presented within this one-year period, it will be permanently forfeited and barred.
