By sending media to us, you agree that you are comfortable with this quote range and to operate on good faith intentions of using our recovery services and resources for the purpose of having us recover data from your media. Upon completion of the evaluation, if it is determined possible for us to successfully recover data from your media and you decline to proceed or to use our recovery services, SalvageData reserves the right to charge a ninety dollar processing fee (resource allocation, storage, labor, and applicable taxes). If data is determined to be unrecoverable there will not be a processing fee.
Data Recovery Guarantee:
Your recovery comes with a 14 business day data guarantee. If we do not recover the data as promised, we will do everything possible to rectify the recovery (including: reshipment at our cost of original drive for additional recovery attempts, etc.) or refund all or part of the recovery fees paid.
Service Limitations:
By agreeing to this service agreement you are stating that you understand that the media/data/equipment you are making available to SalvageData is already damaged, that data recovery efforts can result in further damage and that we will not be held responsible for this or any other type of damage caused to this media.
