  1. Software Security

Software security is the responsibility of the client. Operating Systems and application security patches/upgrades/updates by design are automatically applied. It is the client’s responsibility to note and make aware any issues or warnings reported by their systems. Clients requiring assistance can request a PC Crew representative attend either on-site or by remote access to review current standing of security software.  PC Crew is not liable for any damage or data loss as a result of neglect or ignoring of warning or upgrade messages.  Any updates not applied to due to incompatibility issues i.e. Java are the responsibility of the party requesting that updates not be applied.  

 

 

  1. Data Backups

PC Crew can create a disaster recovery plan and daily backup process. But it is the responsibility of the client to ensure the daily operation is maintained. Third party software and hardware work in combination to maintain consistent data backups. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure data storage devices are switched daily. One copy should always be offsite in the event of fire and floods.   Backup media should always be secured to prevent data theft. Where possible PC Crew can implement a secondary media backup ie. Network Attached Storage or Cloud Storage backup.   

No fix, no fee policy 

Our no fix no fee policy means that if the technician does not possess the necessary technical knowledge or ability to resolve the problem or effect the repair, then no charge is made to the customer, apart from a small diagnoses fee of 1/2 h of normal rates. 

If the technician is able to resolve the problem or effect the repair, but is only prevented from doing so by the customer requesting the technician not to proceed with the work, then the customer is charged for the technician’s time spent to that point – i.e. a minimum of 2 hours. 

If the technician is able to resolve the problem or effect the repair, but is only prevented from doing so because the customer does not possess the required (spare) parts, software CD-Rom or Product Key, then the customer is charged for the technician’s time spent to that point – i.e. a minimum of 2 hours. 

If the technician provides a clear and precise diagnosis of a failed component and the customer decides not to proceed with the replacement of the component, then the customer is charged for the engineer’s time spent to that point – i.e. a minimum of 2 hours. 

The policy does not apply to work related to data recovery, computer virus or spyware problems or to cases in which the computer has been electrical surge or the like..
