Our Remotely Managed Maintenance & Support Disclaimer

While we take all due care in the use of your computer we cannot guarantee this service will resolve the IT problem or that the attempt to resolve technical issues will not cause additional problems requiring an on-site or shop repair-. We are not liable for any consequential damages, and it is the client’s responsibility to back up all applications and data before the session. Additionally, please close any personal or confidential information on your screen, as the technician will be viewing your computer.

By using this Remotely Managed Maintenance & Support Service, you understand that:

  • All remote service and software is provided at the customer’s sole risk;

  • You are responsible for the backup of your data and applications.

  • RTCG is not liable for consequential damages of any kind.

  • RTCG is not liable for unauthorized access to anybody’s computers.

  • RTCG will not knowingly disclose passwords or IDs to any undisclosed 3rd party.

The ability for RTCG to remotely access your computer significantly enhances our ability to resolve your technical problem quickly. You understand that, by requesting such assistance, you are providing RTCG with access to and control of your computer.

In doing so, you could be providing RTCG with access to files that reside on your computer; therefore, you accept responsibility for any changes made to the computer content or system settings.

RTCG does not assume and is not responsible for any liability for the linking and viewing of any computer content, the operation of the remote access software, or system performance.

RTCG recommends that, for your security and privacy, you exit any open applications that contain personal or confidential information before initiating a remote support session with RTCG. RTCG further recommends that you remain seated at your computer and attentive throughout the entire remote session.

By accepting these terms and conditions, you acknowledge that remote services may, in some cases, result in data loss and/or software corruption on your computer; therefore, RTCG explicitly recommends that you back up the data from your computer before accepting the remote support. If you do not back up your data, you run the risk of irretrievable loss of such data, and RTCG will not be liable for any data or extra costs incurred from 3rd parties, however caused.

The Software

RTCG uses the software ‘LogMeIn Resolve’ to provide remote assistance and technical support. Features of this software include, but are not limited to:

  • Easy to use and secure. To access your PC, at least 2 passwords are required – the first one will access the LogMeIn Resolve online account, and the second is a password to authorize access to remotely control your computer. Additionally, a third password may be required to actually log into the computer (Windows Password).

  • Consent-Based access with Session Confirmation before the remote session starts;

  • Completely secure data channels with at least AES (256-bit) session encoding, the same security standard used in HTTPS/SSL technologies ‐ the gold standard in security on the internet;

  • Ability to diagnose and resolve problems remotely;

  • Allow RTCG to view or control your computer;

  • Transfer files via direct transfer to or from RTCG;

  • LogMeIn Resolve will be installed on your computer so that we can obtain remote access at any time with your permission. If you wish to uninstall the software or turn it off, please contact us, and we will explain how to do this.

The Remote Connection

In order to create this connection, you will download the software from a link that is emailed to you, or the software will already have been installed at your consent.
