IMPORTANT: THIS IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT
We ask that you read this agreement in full before we proceed with any work on your system. Please read and understand this document before agreeing to these terms and conditions. If you have any questions please ask us for clarification or consult an attorney.
THREE SAGES PRODUCTIONS, its agents and service representatives will do everything within our ability to ensure that our customers are satisfied with the results of our service. THREE SAGES PRODUCTIONS offers our spyware and virus removal service as is. We believe business should be conducted honestly, fairly and be subject to reasonableness. We strive to provide the highest quality of service. We cannot guarantee specific results for our services, but will operate under the principles stated above and expect you to do the same. We provide our services in an effort repair the computer systems for which you request such services.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK
We wish to inform our customers that spyware and/or virus removal is not risk free. It is due to the risks involved and the unpredictable nature of removing spyware and viruses that THREE SAGES PRODUCTIONS strongly recommends that you back up all your valuable personal data before the attempt is made to remove any malicious software. This is because some spyware or viruses can be programmed to intentionally damage your computer in the event someone attempts to remove it. We are extremely careful to attempt spyware/virus removal without loss of data, but no attempt to remove these programs is immune from risk. Therefore, a data backup prior to spyware removal is essential to protect your irreplaceable personal data from potential loss. We want to reassure you that the overwhelming majority of system repairs we perform will not result in any major problems, but we must make you aware and informed of what can potentially happen in a worst case scenario. We do not want to heighten your fears or reduce your enthusiasm for removing malicious software from your machine. We just want to maximize the likelihood that your valuable data will survive the process.
Removing malicious software is an unpredictable endeavor that can have widely varying results that depend largely on the coding of the programs themselves. While having a solid track record of safely removing malicious software from many machines, THREE SAGES PRODUCTIONS cannot provide you with a guarantee that we can remove all malicious software safely with no resulting data loss or loss of hardware functionality. This is because there are literally thousands of malicious software packages making their way to machines all over the world and they each behave differently, dependent on what their creator wants the program to do. Some malicious software packages merely serve annoying pop-up ads to the end-user and are easily removable with little risk. Others are more invasive in nature, such as keyloggers, trojans, etc. and can be severe security risks for you as you use your computer. Some are coded to destroy data or eliminate system functionality if the user attempts to remove them. Due to this unpredictable nature of the spyware/viruses that may reside on your system, it is possible that the attempted removal of these programs may result in any number of unwanted results. These unwanted results may include the destruction of hard drives, the loss of functionality of various peripherals, the loss of vital system data requiring a reformat of your hard drive and reinstallation of the operating system to restore system functionality, the loss of valuable personal data, etc. But again, such problematic situations are the exception, not the rule.
By signing this agreement, you acknowledge that you have been notified of and accept the potential risks detailed and have been advised by THREE SAGES PRODUCTIONS to back up your data.
