Limitations of Kaspersky Customer Service

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.
