Studio Birdhaus does not offer restoration for damaged media, and is not responsible for any loss of content, image quality, or further deterioration that may occur during the transfer process. All work is performed on a best-effort basis, and results depend on the condition of the original material at the time of service. Clients are encouraged to handle and store their media with care prior to submission. If a transfer cannot produce a usable file due to damage, the customer will not be charged for that item.
