8.3 You acknowledge that sometimes computer problems are more deeply rooted, complicated and interconnected than can be initially diagnosed. You also acknowledge that a problem which occurs with your computer after our visit may be unrelated to the work we performed for you and is therefore outside the scope of Our Customer Service Guarantee.
