Successful data recovery
After the recovery is complete, we will send you some screenshots of the recovered data, and you can decide if the recovery is considered a success. If it is, then you can complete the payment, we can upload the data for you through Microsoft OneDrive (we will provide a temporary account), or we can send you the data on a new drive. Typically, successful recoveries are 99-100% recovered.
Unsuccessful data recovery
If no data was recovered, or if the recovered data is not useful, then we'll refund you the data recovery charge. Or, you can simply wait until the recovery is complete before completing a payment. The non-refundable portion of the cost is the parts cost, for example, for replacement disk heads. Whether they are needed depends on each case, and we will contact you before purchasing them.
