We make every effort to store your CD's or DVD's in two locations. In the unlikely hood of a disaster in one location we will have a backup copy at another location. Backup copies are tested before being placed into storage. Every 5 to 7 years we replace your media. There is always a small possibility that both copies can fail within 5 to 7 years. WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MEDIA FAILURES AND WE CANNOT BE HELD LIABAL FOR SUCH FAILURES. Failure to pay the annual yearly fee on the anniversary of your shipping date will constituent a breach of the contract. We have the right to dispose of your media within a month after the expiry date. We will send you an e-mail and a letter to notify you of your outstanding invoice. If you move please remember to e-mail us with the new address information. No further notification will be given.

Quality: Digital compression, encoding, and recording techniques vary in quality. VCD, SVCD, and DVD encoding convert analog signals into either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 digital format which attempt to accurately capture the original material in a compressed format. Digital compression and encoding leave artifacts in the produced image. These artifacts are increased due to tracking problems, streaking, sparkle effects, popping noises, signal noise, blurring, or rapid movements in the original material. The quality of the converted VCD, SVCD, DVD or other digital media format, is therefore highly dependent on the current condition of the supplied tape, the quality of the original images, and the speed or resolution at which the material was recorded. Safeguardingphotos.com offers a HI-Q (HI-Quality) video encoding format that reduces, but does not eliminate, digital artifacts. IN NO EVENT SHALL Safeguardingphotos.com BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DIGITAL ARTIFACTS OR OTHER FLAWS IN THE PRODUCED VIDEO OR AUDIO. Severe errors in the source material can cause the encoding process to fail.
