26. Due to the nature of data recovery and conversion, our technicians may be required to carry out physical work on the media/data/equipment made available to Skafos Consulting. therefore, the client acknowledges that (a) the media/data/equipment may already be damaged or corrupted, (b) data recovery efforts may result in further damage to the media/data/equipment (c) the media/data/equipment warranties may become void, and (d) Skafos Consulting is not responsible for this or any other type of damage.
27.

d) Skafos Consulting is not responsible for this or any other type of damage.35.

Examples of this include, but are not limited to, spare parts for disk drives and specific adapters or connectors. Skafos Consulting reserves the right to charge the client more money for such media at an agreed cost.36. On rare occasions, Skafos Consulting may require the client to cover some of the costs of attempting the recovery. This request will only apply when the recovery is complex or when severe damage has occurred and only as a no-obligation, fixed price quotation, and is not offered as part of Skafos Consulting’s “no recovery, no fee” service. Please note that this charge as with all charges made by Skafos Consulting is not obligatory and the client may refuse this, and any other charge, and request the return of their media.37. Skafos Consulting agrees that any payment for a recovery will only be processed in the event that data is successfully recovered from the client’s media. The client understands that due to the complex nature of data recovery, it is not always possible to recover all the information from the client’s media. Skafos Consulting makes no provisions for the completeness, relevance or importance of the data recovered for the client unless otherwise agreed in writing by Skafos Consulting and the client.38. Skafos Consulting reserves the right to send or redirect any equipment or media received at any of our premises to the most suitable location for data recovery.

As part of its standard data recovery service Data Recovery Specialists now returns a maximum of 3GB of data on CD-ROM and 30GB of data on DVD-r. Skafos Consulting reserves the right to refuse to return, or charge the client an agreed amount for returning, data on these forms of media when the recovered data exceeds these limits. The client must pay an agreed amount for any replacement media and this amount is in addition to the costs agreed for the data recovery service unless otherwise agreed in writing by a representative of Skafos Consulting.40. All data recovered by Skafos Consulting is returned to the client via a next day traceable service. Examples of this include, but not are limited to, UPS, or Fedex. However, other arrangements for the return of the client’s data may be arranged. On occasions, Skafos Consulting reserves the right to charge the client for the postal service provided and any associated administration fees. This charge is in addition to the charge agreed for the data recovery process.41. Skafos Consulting holds no responsibility for delays caused as a result of the postal network. In these circumstances, no compensation will be given for loss of profits, inconvenience, etc., unless previously agreed by Skafos Consulting .42. The client agrees to inspect or to procure to inspect the goods delivered at the earliest opportunity after delivery or attempted delivery and in any event within five calendar days of delivery or attempted delivery. Any claims for the shortfall in the delivery of goods or claims that the goods do not comply with the order agreed with Skafos Consulting, must be notified in writing within seven calendar days of delivery. Claims made outside of this time period may only be resolved at the discretion of Skafos Consulting.43. Skafos Consulting will retain a copy of your recovered data for a period of seven days from the date of dispatch. During this period Skafos Consulting will answer any queries about the recovered data and, if required, give further copies. On occasions, with the client’s consent, Skafos Consulting may retain a copy of your recovered data and/or digital image beyond this point. In circumstances such as these, Skafos Consulting reserves the right to charge a fee for duplicate copies of data, data storage, management, and security.44. The client and Skafos Consulting agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for any unsatisfactory work shall be at Skafos Consulting’s discretion. Skafos Consulting reserves the right to either (a) try more attempts by Skafos Consulting’s engineer to remedy any unsatisfactory work, or (b) to refund the amount paid by the client in full or part.45. All media sent to Skafos Consulting for data recovery may be retained within one of its international offices for a period of up to fourteen days after completion of the data recovery service. As per our ‘Return Drive Policy,’ you may request the return of your media within 28 days of us receiving your drive. The client understands that the delivery time frames provided are calculated from the date of recovery plus fourteen days. Please see our Return Drive Policy for full details.46. The client understands that all media which is returned via our free return service is provided by standard postal service and this service is non-traceable, Skafos Consulting holds no responsibility for any media lost or damaged within the postal network.

The client understands that Skafos Consulting does not offer any guarantees or warranties of any kind and that the extent of any Skafos Consulting’s liability to the client is strictly limited to the fees you pay Skafos Consulting for its data recovery service.
Data Integrity
48. The client accepts that Skafos Consulting will not examine the contents of any file contained on the media supplied to them.49. Skafos Consulting gives an integrity percentage of any data recovered. This is an estimate only and is derived using specialist software that performs a file signature verification process. This is where the recovered files signatures are matched against their extension. This process does not guarantee the level of integrity and may vary depending on various factors including, but not limited to, the file type and whether or not it is encrypted. The percentage given is an estimate only.50. Skafos Consulting accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the contents, integrity, functionality, corruption, or usefulness of the data recovered.51. Whilst every effort is made to recover as much data as possible from any media received and any specific files requested by the client the recovery process is such that it is not specific, and the sale of data is generic and based purely on the amount of data recovered and the labor in recovering that data. therefore, should the client wish to know what files have been recovered they should request a file list from their account manager in writing or by email. This is the client’s responsibility and a file list will not be provided unless requested from Skafos Consulting in writing or by email by the client. The file list shows the files recovered. Data Recovery Specialists gives no guarantee as to the integrity of the data shown on the file list or any other data recovered.
Legality
52. The client agrees that all media and its content provided to Skafos Consulting Data Recovery Specialists is legal and the lawful possession of the client and that the client has the legal right to request data recovery services, as described under the Laws of the State of Georgia.

Except as otherwise provided here, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, change, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
