In addition, altering or removing such programs may be restricted by certain software licenses. It is the Customer’s responsibility to examine such licenses and to ensure that the procedures performed as a part of these Services will not affect these licenses, or, if they do, that the effect on such licenses or system performance is acceptable to Customer. The customer further acknowledges and understands that these Services cannot guarantee that additional spyware and viruses will not return to, or appear on, a Customer’s system after Services have been rendered.


Third Party Software: If the Customer and technician agree that a third-party tool would be useful to resolve an issue, the Customer will have to personally enter into any license agreements with such third-party. All use of third-party tools is the sole responsibility of the Customer. Under no circumstances will a TLC agent or technician enter into a third party license agreement on the Customer’s behalf or be liable for the use of such third-party software.


Copying of Files: TLC is not permitted by law to copy or otherwise replicate copyrighted materials without the Customer’s expressed authorization. In connection thereto, Customer acknowledges, represents, and warrants that Customer owns the copyright, or has a valid license to make authorized copies of any and all of the applicable files on their system, and, that Customer does not have any files or copyrighted content on their system which would cause TLC to be liable for copyright infringement if those files were copied by TLC as a part of the Services, including but not limited to, music files, motion picture/video/television files or photographic files, or other media files that are subject to copyright restrictions. Customer accepts responsibility for, and agrees to indemnify, release, discharge, and hold TLC harmless from, any and all liability, damages, claims or proceedings including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs arising out of Customer’s failure to remove any non-authorized files or restricted copyrighted content from their system prior to utilizing the Services.
