| How
to initiate a support request |
|
You can use our Support
Forum (preferred) or send your support request to
DIY
DataRecovery support. The following rules apply:
- We do not send attachments to free email accounts! If
for any reason we need to send zipped executables, you
must provide us with an email address capable of receiving
zipped attachments larger than 1 Mb.
- Include a thorough description of the actions that led
to the problem. If you can, describe briefly what you
think caused the problem.
- Include a description of the running OS (Windows 9x / ME
/ NT / 2000 / XP or OS/2 or whatever), including version
information, Service Pack levels and the file-system (FAT,
NTFS, etc.) in use.
- When you are dealing with MBR, partition table and boot
sector related issues, please create a DiskPatch SUPPORT
ANALYSIS LOGFILE. Typical symptoms of such issues are
entire drives and partitions that can't be accessed. If
you have already performed repairs, include the DiskPatch
log file(s) in the support request.
- Include relevant information such as descriptions of
symptoms and actual (error) messages that are displayed
when trying to access the data, file system etc. If you
have lost partitions, describe the partitions as they were
before the problems occurred.
- When relevant, include hardware information
(internal/external controller, array information etc.) if
you think it has any bearing on the problem at hand.
If your support request concerns DiskPatch:
If you have already performed a repair but need additional
assistance, please include the contents of the most relevant
log file. In general this will be the most recent log file (DP.LOG),
but it may also be an older log file if you have restarted
DiskPatch.
Please do not include irrelevant information or files (such
as the state files or old log files) unless we specifically
ask for them.

| If
you didn't receive your registration information... |
|
Usually the registration email(s) are sent within minutes after
purchase, but there are situations were the registration email does
not reach the customer. Delays can be caused by the commerce
provider (Regnow in our case) when they decide that a purchase needs
to be analyzed further. For instance, when a free email address
(Hotmail, Yahoo mail etc.) is used for the registration, there is a
chance that the purchase verification will take a bit longer. Please
understand that this is beyond our control; contact Regnow
if you have questions about this.
Another well known cause for emails not reaching the customer is
spam filters. In ALL cases were we received emails asking us why the
registration emails are not sent after the purchase verification had
completed, the problem could be traced back to spam filters: the
mail was sent but rejected on the side of the customer.
Finally (and this should be obvious but if you count the number
of problems we have seen with this it apparently is not): make sure
you type your email address correctly.
Please note: recently there have been some
problems with emails that are sent from our domain region to AOL
addresses. AOL rejects mail that is sent from our domain for unknown
reasons. So if you use AOL we can not reach you; use a different
email address. We are working on getting this fixed.

Order status lookup, purchase order information etc. |
|
To re-issue a serial number we require a proof of purchase. The order
number (not the serial number or license key)
is accepted as a proof of purchase.
STEP 1: Online order number lookup:
If you purchased through the DIY DataRecovery website online shop
or a DIY DataRecovery affiliate (a 3rd party shareware site like
Download.com) you can lookup the order details yourself, click here.
If you have purchased via RegNet
you can lookup your order status here.
If you have purchased via Mensys,
log in on their main page and you can look up any orders you have
placed.
STEP 2: Submit your request for resending a lost serial number to
DIY DataRecovery support.
Make sure to include the order number!
IMPORTANT
If you selected the RegNow Registration Backup Service during
your purchase visit RegNow
(www.regnow.com) and click the Shopper Support link.
The Registration Backup Service is offered by RegNow during the
purchase of software products which require the use of a
registration code or key for full access or use. With this service,
RegNow retains a backup copy of your registration code, for a period
of one year, should you need it again in the event of loss, a
computer crash, virus, etc. |
| Our
refund policy |
If the product you purchased has not been able to help you, or if
you are otherwise dissatisfied with it's performance, you can request a refund.
There are however a number of conditions:
Before requesting a refund you must first
contact support and allow us to address the problem.
We've seen it all, and if you run into problems with your purchase
there's a good chance we will be able to assist you. And if we can't
help, we at least need to know why before we can authorize
the refund. Make sure you describe your situation clearly; just
saying "the program doesn't work" is no ground for a
refund. Tell us what happened, what didn't happen, or what you
expected to happen.
Please stay polite.
We understand your frustration if things do not go the way you want
them to go but starting a shouting match will not solve the problem.
Remember, our main goal is to give you access to your data again,
not to create all sorts of problems: we all want the same thing. So
when requesting a refund, please do so politely, it will greatly
improve your chances of success.
License and usage of the purchased program
expire when accepting the refund.
Once you have accepted the refund you are no longer allowed to use
the program, with the exception of trial modes and freeware
modes/applications. You are expected to delete your license details
and remove the program from your system and software library.
Please avoid using charge-backs or credit
card billing dispute actions.
That is not the way to handle the matter. Always contact us first,
not the credit card payment provider. We are the ones that handle
the refunds and we are the ones that should decide on the legality
of your refund claim.
Other generic conditions are:
- All bundle- and discount sales (sales that include multiple
programs for a reduced price) are excluded from the refund
policy: no refunds will be given for any product that was
purchased as part of a (discount) bundle.
- You must request the refund within 10 days after the purchase
date.
- You will be refunded in the currency that was used for the
payment.
- Refunds may take a few days to show up on your credit card
statement or other payment related statement, please be patient.
- We require the order number to perform the refund. Make
sure we have the correct information when requesting the refund.
Remember: all our products are available as trial versions; make
sure to try before you buy.
Regardless of the outcome, we appreciate your business and
respectfully thank you for choosing and using our products. |

Version numbering:
To identify versions of our software we use the VRM numbering
method. This means that the number consists of a Version number, a
Release number and a Modification number.
- The Version number (v.r.m) changes when major
functional changes to the program are introduced.
- The Release number (v.r.m.) changes when minor
functional changes and/or major corrective changes to the
program are introduced.
- The Modification number (v.r.m) changes when minor
and/or major corrective changes to the program are introduced.
