Payment PoliciesFile recovery services are increasingly becoming a common topic. There are tons of companies offering all kinds of recovery services. It is important to understand how people or companies will be charged for such services. |
Evaluation Fee
Some companies have an evaluation or estimation fee. These fees are
usually non-refundable, but may be waived should you decide to take on
the service.
Hourly Fee
Some companies charge by the hour. The working hours required to
recover your files are calculated, and you will be charged accordingly.
It is not uncommon for such fees to exceed $100 per hour.
No Files, No Charge, PERIOD
Some companies charge only if the recovery is successful. In such
cases, charges should only apply if you accept the recovery results presented.
If no files are recovered, then no recovery fee will be charged. If there
is a partial recovery, you can decide to either accept the recovery as
presented for the quoted price, or decline the recovery with no recovery
fee charged.
Guarantees
If upon reviewing the recovered files there is still some important
missing data, the guarantee may still be applicable for a partial refund
or for further recovery efforts.
