Expert Tech Help, Right When You Need It

1) Overview & Acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of IT Guy Next Door’s site, communications, and services (“Services”). By contacting us, scheduling with us, or using our Services, you agree to these Terms.

2) Scope of Services & Limitations

• We provide in-person and on-site assistance, setup, configuration guidance, and troubleshooting support focused on small-office/home-office technology.
• Free pre-appointment consultation & transparent start: We begin with a complimentary phone or email discussion of your issue. Based on the information you provide, we decide whether to accept the appointment and will share an estimated price range and key fees before booking. While we aim to take on only issues where we reasonably believe we can help, not every problem can be fully resolved in every circumstance (for example, where hardware is failing, third-party services are down, or software is unsupported).
• We do not provide manufacturer warranties, and we are not a service center for any brand, including Microsoft; our role as an authorized Microsoft Partner relates to our experience with Microsoft technologies, not to warranty or repair authorization.

3) Scheduling, Access & Safety

• You must have proper authority to grant us access to the premises, devices, and accounts you ask us to work on.
• You agree to provide a safe, hazard-free environment and to comply with all applicable laws.

4) Fees, Payment & Cancellations

• Pricing is as agreed upon at the time of appointment booking. A travel fee and other itemized expenses may apply.
• Payment is due after completion of the agreed-upon work, once we have walked you through the results. We accept cash or card.
• Cancellation fees may apply once a technician is en route.

5) Pre-Appointment Consultation, Start Conditions & Limitations

• We aim to accept only issues where we reasonably believe we can help, but some problems cannot be fully resolved due to factors outside our control (for example, hardware failures, liquid/impact damage, third-party or ISP outages, vendor/account issues, or environmental/network limitations).
• If during the appointment we determine that a recommended remedy is declined, the problem is intermittent or not reproducible, device or data is unbacked-up and a risk-free remedy is impossible, software/licensing/policy constraints prevent completion, or further paid work is required beyond the originally booked scope, we will pause, explain your options, and agree on any next steps and related pricing with you before continuing.
• Data recovery attempts, complex migrations, and security incidents are inherently uncertain. We do not promise a particular outcome for these categories of work, but we will explain expected effort, risks, and limitations before you authorize us to proceed.

6) Your Responsibilities

• Maintain current backups and take full responsibility for your data at all times.
• Ensure you have valid licenses for any software we are asked to install or configure.
• Provide truthful information and timely cooperation.

7) Third-Party Products & Services

• We may recommend third-party products or services solely for convenience. We neither control nor warrant third-party offerings.
• All third-party names and logos are used descriptively and remain the property of their respective owners. Our status as an authorized Microsoft Partner does not make any third-party product (including Microsoft products) risk-free, and we do not guarantee vendor performance.

8) Disclaimers of Warranties

Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

9) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, device issues, or business interruption, arising from or related to the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to us for the appointment giving rise to the claim.

10) Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from your misuse of the Services, breach of these Terms, or violation of any law.

11) Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Parties agree to attempt informal resolution first; either party may pursue claims in small-claims court where allowed. Class actions and class arbitrations are waived to the extent permitted by law.

12) Changes

We may update these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on this page with a new effective date.
