Since the Hardware is designed to use software programs, data and other information, Customer is advised to make periodic backup copies of the software installed by Customer and of any information contained on the Hardware’s hard drive or other storage media to protect the contents and as a precaution against possible operational failures.

It is possible that the contents of Customer’s hard drive will be lost or reformatted in the course of repair, and Exinda and/or its agents are not responsible for any damage to or loss of programs, data or other information contained on the media or any part of the Hardware serviced, nor to any accessories, parts or external devices installed by Customer.
