SOS Support

Any software problems, as determined solely by White Light Computing, Inc. (WLC), which are due to faults in the code, will be corrected free of charge on either plan, provided the user supplies appropriate information and reproducible steps to duplicate the issue.

• White Light Computing, Inc. is only responsible for the software it creates, not any third-party software.
• All hardware equipment (computers, printers, cash drawers, keyboards, etc.), networking issues (hubs/switches, networking cards, Ethernet cables, etc.) and Internet connections and email providers are your responsibility. Computers have to be in good working order and virus-free. Wireless networking is not recommended or supported.
• Corrupt/damaged data repair is not covered by the annual support plan or incident fee, with the exception of restoring from a good backup.
• Backup should be performed at least DAILY using the backup procedures and devices recommended by WLC:
• White Light Computing, Inc. recommends a USB device to back up the data and application. This could be a memory stick or portable hard drive. See: http://antiques-sos.com/KB/sosbackupdata.pdf for more details.
• Any OTHER backup system used should be IN ADDITION to a backup as explained above.
• Restoring data from any OTHER backup system is your responsibility.
• Using a CD device to back up data is NOT supported by White Light Computing, Inc.
• We reserve the right to charge for “out of agreement” support where the need for support is triggered by neglect to use the SOS recommended backup system, equipment malfunctions, or willful actions which could have or should have been under the control of the user, as well as failure to properly protect and condition the input power to the computer(s) and components upon which Antiques SOS™ for Windows is installed. This includes data repair, reconstruction, etc.
• White Light Computing, Inc. highly recommends you purchase and install an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) for all computer equipment including networks and servers to protect your computers, data and peripherals. We reserve the right to charge for “out of agreement” support where the need for it is triggered by unprotected power supply systems.
• We strongly suggest and encourage you to establish a working relationship with a competent local computer technician/support professional that can setup your equipment and provide prompt, high quality service for your equipment, the Windows operating system, anti-virus, networking, and other Information Technology (IT) issues when required.

Applies to all Windows versions—Basic, Lite, Premium.Payable by credit card at time of service – no billing.

SOS support is included within the first year of your date of purchase. When that year is coming to a close, we mail a support invoice prorated for the remainder of the calendar year.
