➡️ We are not responsible for the loss of files, programs, settings, or software unless data recovery was included in the service.

Delivery of Goods & Property Risk

➡️ Once items are delivered to your nominated location, all risk (including theft, damage, or loss) transfers to the customer.

➡️ We are not liable for damage caused by the customer or third-party software after delivery.

Nature of Service

➡️ Delivery and service timeframes are estimates only. We will always make best efforts to meet scheduled times.

Copyright Disclaimer

➡️ Better Call Geeks is not responsible for any copyright or licensing violations arising from customer-installed software, media, or services.

Version Control & Scope of Terms

➡️ These Terms & Conditions are reviewed and updated periodically to reflect service improvements, legal advice, and client feedback. Clients may request the most current version at any time.

Security & Setup Limitations

➡️ Where included, security features (e.g. firewalls, MFA, password encryption) are implemented using best practices at the time of service.

➡️ Unless specified in writing, terms like “lifetime solution,” “network hardening,” or “advanced protection” refer only to initial setup — not ongoing upgrades.

➡️ Multifactor authentication (MFA) is not guaranteed unless explicitly listed on your invoice or service report.

➡️ Clients are responsible for storing and managing their own passwords or access credentials. These can be provided upon request at the time of service.

➡️ Network security services are designed for home or small business environments. Enterprise-grade solutions are available upon request and quoted separately.

Time Tracking & Service Duration

➡️ Labour is billed in 15-minute increments. Start and end times are recorded internally by the attending technician.

➡️ If there is any concern over service duration, Better Call Geeks may offer a goodwill adjustment — but reserves the right to bill according to the technician’s records unless proven otherwise.

Card Use, Storage & Stripe Payments

➡️ Better Call Geeks uses Stripe for secure online payments.

➡️ Customers may choose to “save card for future use” — this is stored securely by Stripe and never seen or held by Better Call Geeks.

➡️ Saved cards may be used to finalise overdue invoices unless the customer requests removal.

➡️ No card will ever be used for additional charges without verbal, written, or emailed approval.

➡️ Customers may request card removal from the Stripe system at any time.

Client Awareness & Vulnerability Safeguard

➡️ Better Call Geeks is committed to ethical service, particularly when supporting elderly clients or individuals less familiar with technology.

➡️ Where possible, a trusted family member or support person should be present during invoicing or payment.

➡️ In the event of any confusion or concern around informed consent, we will review internal records to determine if a refund, adjustment, or clarification is appropriate.
