If any of the Products are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, NanoByte is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Products.

7.7 NanoByte shall not be held liable for any loss or corruption of data or files (including, but not limited to, software programs) resulting from servicing or repairs being undertaken on any computer or device. It is the sole responsibility of the Client to backup any data which they believe to be important, valuable or irreplaceable prior to bringing in any computer or device for servicing or repairs.

7.8 The Client acknowledges and agrees that if the computer or device (the subject of the Services) was not working properly at the time of submission to NanoByte, the Client releases NanoByte from any liability as a result of further damages in the event of any computer-related failure due to hardware wear and tear, application conflicts, faulty applications, virus/malware infections, incompatible third-party devices, or system/OS related bugs.

7.9 Whilst NanoByte shall make every effort to contact the Client, any item left with NanoByte for over a period of thirty (30) days will be destroyed or recycled at NanoByte's sole discretion, and all personal data will be destroyed to protect the Client's privacy.
