Limitations of Kaspersky Customer Service
August 15, 2024
ID 101732
Kaspersky has no obligation to provide Customer Service when and where:
- Hardware or software is not compliant with the minimum system requirements for the application.
- An application reaches its end of life.
Types of requests not covered by Standard Service include (but are not limited to) the following:
- performance improvements and customer device tuning;
- disinfection of malware infected computers (including remediation of the after-effects of malware infection);
- malware description requests;
- on-site support;
- support outside of working hours;
- questions related to the functions of third-party applications or operating systems;
- applying third-party patches to operating systems and applications, applying third-party vulnerability patches;
- best practices of network security configuration;
- application training;
- application deployment walkthroughs;
- application health checks and tune-ups.
Some of the actions that are out of scope of the standard service may be offered as a separate paid service. The catalog of paid services may vary for specific Kaspersky subsidiaries or local service delivery partners.
Kaspersky Customer Service will assist customers on a "best effort" basis but cannot guarantee successful installation of an application or successful remediation of malware or malfunction in the following scenarios:
- Malware is present and no anti-virus software is installed.
- A third-party anti-virus product is installed but did not detect malware/disinfect the malware.
- Kaspersky applications are installed in a mixed environment along with another anti-virus solution.
- Incidents caused by hardware.
- Incidents caused by non-supported platform software versions (i.e., beta software, versions of new service packs or additions not yet approved by Kaspersky for compatibility with the applications).
- Problems for which the customer cannot provide accurate information that is reasonably requested by the Customer Service team to reproduce, troubleshoot and investigate the problem.
- Problems that arise because of unapplied or incorrectly applied instructions from the Customer Service team or Kaspersky documentation that would clearly resolve the problem if properly applied.
