This offer is not intended to compete with commercial providers. Therefore, only devices that are used exclusively or for the most part by a student at the University of Bayreuth can be processed. The employees of the IT service center decide individually for each problem whether processing is possible or sensible. The service catalog is only intended to provide a rough overview. The employees only offer personal advice on site and accept cases during the opening hours of the PC garage - telephone support is not possible. The IT service center cannot guarantee success and cannot be held liable for any loss of data or damage. Necessary spare parts are only recommended; the students themselves are responsible for obtaining them. The employees cannot prepare any reports either.
