These Terms & Conditions apply to all services provided by ProSolv IT ("we", "us", "our") to the customer ("you", "the client"). By engaging our services, you agree to the terms below.

1. Scope of Services

ProSolv IT provides general IT support services, which may include computer repairs, troubleshooting, software setup, basic security support, and related advisory services.

Services are limited to what is agreed with the client. Any work outside the agreed scope may require additional approval and charges.

2. Assessment & Limitations

Some IT issues may be complex or outside our expertise. We reserve the right to decline or stop work if a task is beyond our knowledge, experience, or practical capability.

Where possible, we may recommend a specialist or alternative provider.

3. No Guarantee of Outcome

While we take reasonable care and use best efforts, we do not guarantee that all issues can be resolved, particularly where problems are caused by hardware failure, third-party software, malware, or existing system faults.

4. Data & Backups

The client is responsible for ensuring important data is backed up before work begins.

ProSolv IT is not responsible for data loss resulting from pre-existing issues, hardware failure, malware, or actions taken at the client's request.

5. Payment Terms

Invoices are due within 14 days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Late payment (over 14 days overdue) may result in:

Payment Methods

Payment is accepted by:

  • Bank transfer
  • Cash
  • EFTPOS

Payment is due upon completion of service unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Current rates are available on our website at prosolvit.co.nz/pricing or by request.

All fees will be discussed or estimated before work begins where possible. Estimates are provided in good faith but may change if additional issues are discovered.

Additional work requested beyond the original scope may incur extra charges. The client will be notified before additional charges are incurred where practical.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may incur a cancellation fee of up to $60.

No-shows (client not present at scheduled time) may incur the full callout charge.

We will make reasonable efforts to contact you before charging for a no-show.

9. Warranty on Work

Work completed is warranted for 30 days from the date of service.

The warranty covers the specific work performed, not pre-existing or new issues.

The warranty is void if the client or third parties modify systems after our service.

Parts may carry separate manufacturer warranty.

10. Liability Limitation

To the maximum extent permitted under New Zealand law, ProSolv IT's liability is limited to the cost of the service provided.

Remote support may be provided via secure remote access tools (e.g., TeamViewer, AnyDesk).

The client must provide permission before remote access begins.

Remote sessions may be logged for quality and security purposes.

The client is responsible for maintaining internet connectivity during remote sessions.
