Service Efforts and Process:
Here is how our Services work:
1. Submit Your Device for Evaluation
Evaluation Fee and Effort: Upon payment of a non-refundable evaluation fee (if applicable), you may submit your data storage device or media to us, and we will use reasonable efforts to determine whether any data on your data storage device or media is recoverable using our existing technology and processes (which has limitations - not all lost data can be recovered).
2. Cost Estimate: By answering a few questions about your data storage device on our online quotation form, or by calling us, we will provide you with a cost estimate for the actual recovery work and Services.
3. Authorization of Recovery: If you accept the cost estimate, submit your data storage device or media to us along with your credit card information (or other payment method approved by us), and we will apply our existing technology and standard processes and use reasonable efforts to recover your data. By submitting your device and payment information, you agree to pay the fee quoted and authorize us to charge your credit card for such amount if we are able to successfully recover the data. In addition, you understand and agree that your device or media may be sent to any one of our recovery labs around the world in our sole discretion. When applicable, you will be the importer of record and will be solely responsible for import fees, taxes and other associated costs.
4. Successful Recovery Effort: If we are able to successfully recover data, we will notify you using the contact information you have provided to us and charge you. We will not release your data to you until you have paid for the Services and related costs (including, without limitation, applicable service fees, material costs, new media costs, and shipping costs).
5. We will return your data to you on an external drive with the storage capacity that can handle the size of your recovered data. We do not guarantee a like-drive replacement.
6. Unsuccessful Recovery Effort: If we are unable to recover any data, we will inform you accordingly and not charge you for the Services minus the non-refundable evaluation fee.
7. Return of Original Media: Regardless of the outcome of the recovery work, if you want your original data storage device returned we will do so upon request. NOTE: USB external hard drive devices the media casings are removed during the recovery process and are discarded.
8. Disposal of Abandoned Device, Media or Data after 60 Days: Any device, media, or data left with us without full payment after 60 days from the date of our receipt will be disposed of in our discretion; and you release ATP from any obligation of confidentiality related to the device, media, and data.
​
Service Limitations:
We cannot and do not promise any particular results. We will provide reasonable efforts and the application of our existing technology and standard processes. We do not guarantee that any data will be recovered. Also, our attempt to recover the data may result in damage to the device, media, or data, and may even render any data unrecoverable. To the extent possible, you should attempt to back up any available data before submitting it to us.
​
Authorization:
You are authorizing ATP and its employees, agents, and delegates to conduct testing, evaluation, access, recovery attempts and processing of each data storage device or data storage media that you submit to us.
