The
Assessment Fee is paid for the Initial Assessment only and is not related to success of data recovery (i.e. it is non-refundable).
- Recovery FeeIf after the initial assessment, Data Revival believes that data can be recovered, Data Revival will provide to the customer an obligation free
fixed quotation for
Recovery Fee.

Recovery Fee would be payable only if data is recovered to the customer’s satisfaction.
If for some reason the customer does not accept our Recovery Fee quote or advise us that data is not recovered to their satisfaction, no Recovery Fee is charged and the data storage device is returned to the customer.

“No Data - No Recovery Fee” Policy
We are confident in our data recovery abilities so much that if for some unforeseen reason data can not be recovered as listed in our quotation, we will charge you only the initial Assessment Fee and return your drive.
- Cost to purchase parts for temporary replacement
Need for temporary replacement parts (required for completion of data recovery attempt) will be determined by the above-mentioned Initial Assessment.
In most cases no such parts are required. However, occasionally some failed parts of data storage device need to be temporarily replaced in order to complete the assessment and data recovery attempt. Even then in most cases this fee is not charged as we have few thousands of used hard drives in our stock, so we normally have immediate access to spare parts for temporary replacement and we do not charge customers for them.
When we do not have the required temporary replacement parts in our stock, then they need to be purchased from our suppliers and quotation for purchase such parts will be provided to the customer for acceptance and invoiced separately after the Initial Assessment. This cost for purchase of temporary replacement parts (when applicable) is a separate fee to the above-mentioned Assessment Fee and Recovery Fee. This fee is payable if the customer accepts the related quote and this fee is not related to success of data recovery (i.e. it is non-refundable).
