DIAGNOSTIC DISCLAIMER
Diagnosing appliances can be very tricky at times. Deep South reserves the right and will not refund any diagnostic fees even if the diagnosis it's not completely correct. Many appliances use timers, control boards of multiple functions, switches, sensors, heaters, motors, etc. And this can be difficult at times to pinpoint a complete true and definite diagnosis. Sometimes it is just a best educated technical guess.
CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS IF A CUSTOMER CANCELS SERVICE AFTER THE DEPOSIT PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE TO ORDER PARTS, THE CUSTOMER MAY RECEIVE A REFUND OF THE AMOUNT LEFTOVER WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PAID AFTER DEDUCTIONS OF SERVICE CALL FEES, SHIPPING COSTS, RESTOCKING FEES, REVERSAL FEES AND TAX FEES, AND OTHER CHARGES. REFUNDS GENERALLY TAKE UP TO 30 TO 45 DAYS TO PROCESS. NO REFUNDS ON SERVICE CALLS FEES UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY MANAGEMENT OF DEEP SOUTH APPLIANCE.
SEALED SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR DISCLAIMER
There are no refunds diagnosing refrigeration and sealed system units. Seal System repairs are 50/50. Sometimes they are repairable and sometimes they are not. There is a 50% failure rate on sealed system repairs. There is NO WAY to tell if the repair is successful until a repair is tried and attempted. Before performing Sealed System Repair work, BE HIGHLY ADVISED on the likelihood that it will MAY function properly OR IT MAY NOT. Once your Sealed System is repaired and confirmed repaired, we only warranty the parts and labor for 30 days, this is because we don't do partial System repairs like some other companies. We replace the entire system at the same time as this has proven to have the highest likelihood of a lasting repair, unless your unit is simply irreparable. We will however come out at no charge if the system itself is to likely to fail and confirm for you if that is the case. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON SEALED SYSTEM REPAIRS. Older systems are harder and more difficult to repair successfully and have a higher than 50% repair failure rate. If a refrigerant leak is diagnosed, using refrigeration dye is only one method and often used as the last resort. Most common method is an electronic leak detector. It is illegal for a tech to add refrigerant to a system knowing it has a leak. Refrigerant leak, System Restriction, or Bad Compressor, all have the same symptoms. If no one has connected refrigerant gauges to the system, the problem is unknown other than it's in the sealed system. Sealed system repair costs vary from unit to unit.

Safety Notice to customers and technicians
Before beginning any project, review the instructions carefully, and if any doubts or questions remain, consult local professionals or authorities.

Always read and observe all the safety precautions provided by any tool or equipment manufacturer and follow all accepted safety procedures. What follows are reminders, although not an exhaustive list, of safety measures you should be aware of if undertaking home improvements yourself. They are not substitutes for your own caution, care, good judgment and common sense.
General Precautions:

4. Always keep your hands away from the business ends of blades, cutters, and bits.
5. Never work with any tools when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

9. Never support a surface from underneath with your leg or other part of your body when working.
10. Always use hold-downs and push sticks whenever possible when working on a table saw. Avoid working short pieces if you can.
11. Always make sure that any adjustment is locked before proceeding.
Wear the Correct Gear:
1. Wear rubber or work gloves when handling chemicals, moving or stacking lumber, or doing heavy construction.
2. Wear eye protection, especially when using power tools or striking metal on metal or concrete.
3. Use a special-purpose tool belt with leather pockets and holders if you want to carry sharp or pointed tools, such as knives, awls or chisels. Never carry such tools in your pockets.
4. Wear a disposable facemask when you create dust by sawing or sanding. Use a special filtering respirator when working with toxic substances and solvents.
5. Never work while wearing loose clothing, hanging hair, open cuffs, or jewelry.

2. Always remove the key from any drill chuck (portable or press) before starting the drill.
3. Always clamp small pieces firmly to a bench or other work surface when using a power tool on them.
4. Always be aware that your body's reflexes probably are not fast enough to save you from injury from a power tool in a dangerous situation. Be alert!

6. Always use a drill with an auxiliary handle to control the torque when large-size bits are used.
7. Never change a movable part such as a saw blade, a drill or router bit unless the power cord is unplugged. Do not depend on the switch being off you might accidentally hit it.
8. Never use a power tool on a surface - large or small - that is not firmly supported.
Damages or Pre-existing Damages
In order to repair your appliance, it may have to be moved. There is a possibility of damage which you should be made aware. Although we are careful, many floor-covering materials in use today are soft, and appliances tend to depress the floor covering and adhere to it. Movement can sometimes cause a tear or deep scratches on the flooring.
In addition, some built-in appliances become wedged too tightly and are difficult, if not impossible to move without marring the surrounding
areas.
In order to avoid a possible misunderstanding later, you release and acknowledge that this potential problem with moving an appliance. You also release Deep South Appliance Service LLC from any responsibility of damages pre, during or post of any service or repair in your residence.
You acknowledge that you have read the foregoing and understand that, in spite of the care taken by the technician, some damage may result from moving your appliance for service, and in order to secure services you hereby release Deep South Appliance Service LLC, and its technicians from liability for
such damage.

Online Privacy Protection
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 18.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action should a data breach occur: We will notify the users via email within 7 business days
We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
