   YOU HAVE DECIDED TO ASK ESET, SPOL. S R.O. (further only "ESET") TECHNICAL SUPPORT STAFF FOR REMOTE ASSISTANCE. BEFORE THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT TRIES TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, YOU MUST INSTALL A PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER AND ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS GOVERNING THE PROVISION OF REMOTE TECHNICAL SUPPORT.

   REMOTE TECHNICAL SUPPORT CANNOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT INSTALLING SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE AND IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS BELOW.

   Terms of Use for remote technical support

   1. By accepting these terms and conditions you acknowledge that remote intervention may in some cases cause data and/or software corruption on your computer. Therefore, ESET explicitly warns to back up the data from your computer before performing technical support remotely. ESET will require a declaration from you that you have performed a backup of your computer data, before providing technical support remotely. If you do not back up your data, you run the possibility of irretrievable loss of such data. Without your declaration of data backup, remote technical assistance will not be executed. Given the fact that you have been forewarned about the possibility of data loss, and that you were required to back up data before providing technical support remotely, ESET will not be liable for any loss of data that results from your false statements.
   2. After installing the SolarWinds Take Control client program, it will be possible to create a secure and encrypted channel, which connects the ESET support technician to your computer. This channel can be interrupted any time by any of the communicating parties (by you or ESET). ESET warns that if you interrupt the communication during the session, it may cause your computer to malfunction.
   3. SolarWinds Take Control client program manufacturer provides its software free of charge and is not responsible for any consequences resulting from its use or its errors.
   4. ESET technical support staff are familiar with the functions of the SolarWinds Take Control client program.
   5. ESET must explicitly point out that even while maintaining the utmost care, the possibility of material or non-material damages, in connection with remote technical assistance, cannot be ruled out completely. Such damage may result from failure of the connection between your computer and ESET technical support, the compounding effects of computer infiltrations, software, hardware and other factors.
