Cash is welcome for In-Home visits and workshop pickup/delivery only.
Billing begins at the time of the appointment. Missed/cancelled appointments will be billed one full hour if not cancelled with at least 24 hours notice.
Although LSM will endeavor to conduct all activities in a timely manner, I understand that troubleshooting issues may be a time-consuming process and agree to pay LSM for troubleshooting time as necessary. If LSM is requested to conduct further research on a specific issue, Client will not be billed for research time offsite at the LSM workshop, but will be billed for research time during a remote service call or while at Client’s site. LSM reserves the right to recommend another IT company if the troubleshooting requires the assistance of another IT company to assist. Client will contract with the other IT company separately.

Quotes
Any verbal quote given by Lone Star Mktg is given as a guide based on limited information provided by a customer. A verbal quote is intended to give the customer an estimate on the price and not an assurance that the product or service will be sold at that price.

You must be the owner, or have the permission of the owner, for us to work on your equipment. We will only take instructions for work from the designated owner.
If equipment is left with Lone Star Mktg and is not collected within sixty (60) days after we notify you that the requested service is complete, we will treat your equipment as abandoned and becomes the sole property of Lone Star Mktg. You agree to hold Lone Star Mktg harmless for any damage or claim for the abandoned property, which we may discard at our sole discretion. Any and all charges are still your responsibility.

Warranty
Lone Star Mktg offers the following warranty periods:
7 day warranty for labor - All work is covered by a labor only 7 day warranty. If the same problem re-occurs within 7 days of the original repair (stated on the invoice), Lone Star Mktg will only charge for any additional parts that may be required. Excludes faults caused by software, virus and end user errors.
1 year return-to-base manufacturer’s warranty on new hardware - All hardware, software and/or equipment sold may be a third party product or service. Any repair work carried out may be protected by the original manufacturer warranty. Repair work not protected by the original manufacturer warranty is billable to the normal LSM service rates.
3 month return-to-base warranty on second hand hardware sold by Lone Star Mktg - Equipment is only covered for faulty workmanship on parts, and for parts that fail due to manufacturing defects recognized by the component manufacturer. In the event that the Warranty parts are not available the client will be informed of the delay and the revised expected repair time. Warranty repairs are carried out under the terms of the manufacturer warranty conditions. Warranty parts are supplied by the equipment manufacturer.
If a warranty repair is found to be outside of the warranty terms, it will be deemed as a "Non Warranty Repair" and charges will be applicable.
Non Warranty Repairs
Whilst every effort is made to repair within a few days, it is subject to parts availability. All parts used on Non Warranty repairs are manufacturer supplied unless otherwise requested.
Warranty Exclusions
Warranty does not include accidental damage. e.g. liquid damage (90% of keyboard faults are due to liquid spillage), cabinet or component breakage due to misuse. Damage caused by power surges or spikes, including and not limited to, mains power and telecommunications connections, or to other unspecified sources, voltage fluctuation, amperage fluctuation, rust or corrosion, are not covered under warranty. Warranties do not cover loss or damage due to negligence, accidents, theft, flood, fire, earthquakes, electrical storms or any other act of God or any war related events.
The warranty on any hardware will be voided if any sticker placed on the warrantable equipment is removed, broken or tampered with.
This warranty does not cover failure of equipment due to the system not being serviced adequately, or failure from “fair wear and tear”. This warranty does not cover repairs for the replacement of parts due to incompatibility. The warranty holder will be liable to pay for these repairs.
Payment Terms
All work (excluding Remote Service) must be paid in full upon completion of service. If an amount remains delinquent 14 days after its issue date, an additional 5% penalty will be added for each week of delinquency or the maximum permitted by law. In case collection proves necessary, the client agrees to pay all fees incurred by that process.
Limited Liability
Lone Star Mktg shall not be liable for any claims regarding the physical functioning of equipment/media or the condition or existence of data on storage media supplied before, during or after service.
In no event will Lone Star Mktg be liable for any damage to the laptop/desktop/equipment, loss of data, loss of revenue or profits, or any special, incidental, contingent, or consequential damages, however caused, before, during or after service even if Lone Star Mktg has been advised of the possibility of damages or loss to persons or property. Lone Star Mktg liability of any kind with respect to the services, including any negligence on its part, shall be limited to the contract price for the services.
The client and Lone Star Mktg agree that the sole and exclusive remedy for unsatisfactory work or data shall be, at Lone Star Mktg’s option, additional attempts by Lone Star Mktg to recover satisfactory data or refund of the amount paid by the client. The parties acknowledge that the price of Lone Star Mktg services would be much greater if Lone Star Mktg undertook more extensive liability.
The client is aware of the inherent risks of injury and property damage involved in laptop/desktop repair, including without limitation, risks due to destruction or damage to the machine, media, or data and inability to repair the machine or recover data, including those that may result from the negligence of Lone Star Mktg, and assumes any and all known risks of injury and property damage that may results.
