| Notes | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Subject to minimum call-out charge. |
| 2 | The call-out charge is the minimum for on-site work, not in addition to other charges. |
| 3 | Including a quick lesson. |
| 4 | Some onsite backup services have monthly charges. |
| 5 | There are absolutely no guarantees for data recovery. The success rate is low. |
| 6 | Rounded up to the nearest Gigabyte. |
| 7 | The success rate for virus and spyware removal is very high, but eradication is not guaranteed. Worse case scenarios will be discussed, which may fall outside the capped charges. This is very rare. |
| 8 | I only design the site. You host it separately, and that costs about £100 per annum for small sites. |
I do make a profit on hardware that I provide. You get the benefit of my experience in selecting components and sourcing them reliably and cheaply. In broad terms I charge what you would pay on the High Street, unless you have an urgent requirement when I may have to charge a premium to get the items quickly.
