Building a personal computer involves navigating several key terms regarding parts acquisition and potential outcomes. Customers have the flexibility to either purchase all components themselves and have them delivered directly, or collaborate with the IT technician, who can assist in sourcing and buying the parts on the customer's behalf. It's important to note that the IT technician is not liable for common and reasonable damage to components that can occur during the building process or shipping.
If any parts bought by the customer and delivered to the IT technician are not compatible with the rest or majority of the components, the customer will be charged a $25 USD day holding fee until a compatible solution is found or the incorrect parts are addressed.
Should any parts be delivered to the IT technician later than the initial batch, and these parts were not picked with the express acceptance of the IT technician, a $25 USD first-day holding fee will be applied. Following this, a $20 USD day holding fee will be charged for each subsequent day until all necessary components are present and the building can commence.
Regardless of the purchasing method, the process carries inherent risks. During assembly, compatibility issues between components, faulty parts, or even accidental damage can lead to a non-functional system, requiring troubleshooting and potential part replacements. Furthermore, the shipping of delicate PC components, whether to the customer or the IT technician, poses a significant risk of damage due to mishandling, vibrations, or extreme temperatures, which can result in bent pins, cracked circuit boards, or other irreparable harm, ultimately delaying the building and incurring additional costs.
The IT technician will not be held responsible for the following risks when building a PC:
Common and reasonable damage to components: This includes issues that can occur during the building process or shipping.
Incompatible parts: If parts purchased by the customer and delivered to the IT technician are not compatible with the rest or majority of the components, the IT technician is not liable for this incompatibility. A holding fee will be charged in such cases.
Late delivery of parts: If parts are delivered later than the initial batch and were not previously approved by the IT technician, the IT technician is not responsible for the delay, and holding fees will apply.
The IT technician is not liable for issues such as compatibility problems, faulty parts, or accidental damage that may occur during assembly, or damage to components during shipping (e.g., bent pins, cracked circuit boards due to mishandling, vibrations, or extreme temperatures). These issues can lead to a non-functional system, troubleshooting, and potential part replacements.
PC Building Hourly Rate is $55USD per Hour, Minimum Service Fee is 1 Hour, drives over 15 Minutes are included in hourly rate. Drive to Customer will be doubled for drive to and from the customer.
