Terms of Service

IMPORTANT NOTICE: In these Terms of Service “remote services,” means RTS Technicians performs technology services for you over the Internet. Please note that different Terms of Service apply to services rendered in home and at RTS repair locations.


REMOTE SERVICES
(a) General Services: RTS will attempt to diagnosis your technology problem, provide an estimate of applicable service fees (plus applicable taxes), and then provide you with a technology solution over the telephone or via the Internet. In certain cases, however, problem diagnosis and support may not be completed because of a problem with your computer or its configuration that is beyond our control.
(b) Remote Support Services: Remote support services may be offered to you over the telephone or via the Internet if your PC was built within the last six years, you have a working cable or DSL high speed Internet connection, and your operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000 or newer. If you elect to receive remote support, then an RTS Technician remotely logs on through your high-speed Internet connection to view your computer desktop from the RTS Repair Center.  RTS stays in contact with you to keep you fully briefed on every step of the process as your technology problem is resolved. Remote support may involve the installation of software on your computer that will allow RTS to provide the remote support services. By electing to receive remote support, you agree to allow RTS to use whatever tools deemed necessary to repair your computer, including remote access. You understand that if remote access is used on your computer there will be no residual software from the remote session; however, there may be a text file placed on your computer that will explain the work that was done on your computer. If such a text file is placed on your computer, you have the option to either save the file for future reference or to delete it from your computer.
(c) Software Download Services: Software download services may be offered to you by an RTS Technician. If you elect to receive software download services, you are electing to purchase software downloads for the purpose of repair or upkeep for your PC. In such event, the RTS Technician will provide you with information about the software and collect your payment information. Raven Technology Solutions will provide the download and license key information via email. Also ask about the service and software warranty applicable to the software download you receive as that warranty differs from RTS’s service warranty. 
(d) Your Responsibility: You understand and agree that prior to contacting or allowing an RTS Technician to perform diagnostic repair or other services on your computer, it is your responsibility to back-up the data, software, information or other files stored on your computer disks and/or drives. You acknowledge and agree that Raven Technology Solutions shall not be responsible under any circumstance for any loss or corruption of data and/or software.

(b) FORCE MAJEURE: If RTS's ability to render remote services is impaired by you or circumstances beyond the control of RTS, RTS may choose not to provide or to discontinue remote services.
(c) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: To the extent permitted by law, you agree that RTS’s total liability for damages related to its remote services is limited to the total amount you pay for the remote services, and you release RTS from liability for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages. RTS IS NOT LIABLE FOR LOSS, ALTERATION, OR CORRUPTION OF ANY DATA OR FOR YOUR INABILITY TO USE YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PRODUCT.
SERVICE WARRANTY

We warrant our remote services for 30 days following the date you received remote service; however, for repairs necessitated by a virus or spyware, the service warranty is valid only if the anti-virus and anti-spyware protection for your product is installed or updated during the repair or promptly thereafter (i.e., before you connect again to the Internet). If there is a problem with the service provided by RTS and if you notify us within the warranty period, we will work to remedy your problem quickly and at no additional cost.
