1. Rights that cannot be waived remain protected
Website terms are not intended to remove a consumer guarantee, cancellation right, refund remedy, privacy right or other protection that applicable law says cannot be excluded. Which rules apply depends on the customer, location, transaction and service.
2. United States
U.S. consumer-protection rules prohibit deceptive or unfair practices. Technical-support sales are particularly sensitive because fraud commonly involves impersonation, false security warnings and unauthorized remote access. BACKON therefore identifies itself as independent support, avoids manufacturer impersonation and uses a price/scope-before-payment approach.
The FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule can apply to covered outbound telemarketing and to certain inbound calls for technical-support services made in response to advertising. State consumer, privacy, automatic-renewal and telemarketing laws may also apply in addition to federal requirements.
3. Canada
Canadian customers may have rights under federal or provincial consumer-protection and privacy laws. PIPEDA may apply to personal information handled in commercial activities, while some provinces have their own private-sector privacy laws. CASL separately regulates commercial electronic messages and certain software-installation activities.
BACKON does not treat acceptance of technical support as a waiver of any non-excludable provincial or federal consumer remedy.
4. Australia
Australian consumers may have non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law, including statutory guarantees that can apply to services. If BACKON supplies services to an Australian consumer, website terms are not intended to remove guarantees that cannot legally be excluded.
5. Small-business customers
Business transactions can be governed differently from consumer transactions, and some consumer protections may depend on the type/value of transaction or local definition of “consumer.” BACKON’s service order and Terms apply to business customers subject to any mandatory rights that still apply.
6. Cross-border supply
BACKON is operated from India, but cross-border supply does not automatically eliminate mandatory protections in a customer’s market. We therefore state our location accurately while preserving applicable mandatory rights rather than pretending to be locally established.
7. Complaints and payment disputes
You can use the Complaints Process to ask us to review service quality, billing, privacy, remote access or marketing conduct. Using our internal process does not remove a right to contact a regulator, payment provider or court/tribunal with jurisdiction.
8. No legal-advice representation
This notice is a customer-facing summary of BACKON’s policy position. It is not a complete statement of every law that could apply to every transaction.
