Protection - Anti-spyware and Anti-virus protection.

WHAT DO DIBTECH COMPUTERS CHARGE?

We have kept are hourly rates as low as possible and they had remained static for the last two years or so. However, due to the increase in business costs and other various fuel costs , unfortunately we have had to increase our rates to cover the costs of providing our services

Our hourly rates are £35.00 per hour.

Minimum charge onsite - is £35.00 or one hour, then £17.50 for every half hour.

Minimum charge office/workshop - is £17.50 or half an hour, then £17.50 for every half hour.

All parts of the half hour or hour are rounded up to the nearest half hour or hour.

Call-out charges - This is a charge that is invoiced at £15.00. Call-out charges are only raised when a client requires a prompt appointment within the same day. Call-out charges are not raised for standard appointments. Warranty faults/problems are NOT generally affected.

Travelling charges - Are not invoiced for travel within a one mile radius of our office. Travel further than one mile from our office is charged at £25.00 per hour, this includes travel to and from the client. All parts of the half hour or hour are rounded up to the nearest half hour or hour.

Telephone & Internet technical support charges - Charged at £17.50 per half hour. All telephone & Internet technical support will be invoiced at the standard half hourly rate. Advice about purchasing from Dibtech Computers is free of charge. Warranty technical support is free of charge, only when the problem is relating to a product failure or non-technical problem, as long as the product was purchased from Dibtech Computers. Technical support explaining how to use a product or service (including software) is NOT free. Any other telephone support is NOT free, unless otherwise stated.

Cancellations - All cancellations of appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the appointment. If an appointment is cancelled later than 24 hours before the appointment, a £17.50 charge may be invoiced to the client.

Other charges - In some cases it is easier to simply quote for work in advance. An example of this kind of work would be website design, in this case normal hourly charges do not apply. The client will be informed about such charges in advance.

Guarantees - All work carried out by Dibtech Computers is guaranteed for a specific period. Work carried out by Dibtech Computers will generally not be guaranteed for more than 48 hours, depending on the nature of the work. Any new component that Dibtech Computers supply will carry a manufacturers warranty; this will be put in writing at the time of purchase. If the client or other person appears to have modified or made changes that affect work carried out by Dibtech Computers or a product supplied by Dibtech Computers, this then voids the guarantee. Downloads, spyware, virus, `acts of god`, power surges, floods, misuse, deliberate damage, accidental damage etc also void guarantees of work and possibly hardware warranties.

Payment - All invoices are to be paid on completion of work or on receipt of goods. Mail order products and services are to be paid for in advance.

Postage and packaging - Charged by weight, size and/or numbers of packages. Standard courier or postal charges apply.

Data

Data recovery prices: start at around £200.00 or at our hourly rate; depending upon the exact nature of the problem.

  1. If the hard disk drive is physically damaged and needs to be removed from the clients computer and then recovered, this takes more time and technical knowledge. It is not always obvious why or how the data was lost or damaged, in most situations we will need to assess the cause of the problem.

  2. When the hard disk drive has damaged sectors we would normally attempt to repair this before attempting data recovery. Sometimes the data is not located in or on these damaged sectors, in this case we would simply attempt to recover the data and then possibly attempt to repair the hard disk drive later. If the hard disk drive is not repaired, then the client would need to consider their options.

  3. Sometimes, depending upon how damaged the hard disk drive is, it may not always be possible to recover the data. If the hard disk drive has been crushed or doesn't power on at all, then we would not offer our data recovery service.

  4. Every hard disk drive problem is different. In most cases the data recovery service is used when either: the hard disk drive has become damaged, the computer doesn't work correctly, the operating system has become corrupt or the data has been deleted or removed.

  5. If data is recovered for the client, the client needs to consider some or all of the following: how will the data be provided for the client and on what type of media, what will the client do with the recovered data, does the client have the means to read the recovered data, does the client possess all the relevant reinstallation software in the event that the hard disk drive needs to be replaced and other more specific issues.

  6. Please contact us if you need further advice.
