Disc Rescue Guidelines
Disc Rescue by ScanMyPhotos is for standard data CDs and DVDs containing JPEG photo files.
Price: $325 (discounted from $595) for up to 25 discs.
When you order, we send you a box that holds up to 25 standard CDs or DVDs. Fill it with your discs and send it back. We transfer the JPEG photos we can access onto a USB flash drive. Here are a few important things to know before sending your discs.
JPEG photos only
Disc Rescue is for standard .jpg and .jpeg
photo files. Please do not send videos, music, documents, software,
computer backups, movie DVDs, music CDs, games, Blu-ray discs, or other
types of files or media.
The discs must be readable
We can transfer only JPEG photos that our equipment can open and copy. Old CDs and DVDs sometimes stop working. A disc may be scratched, damaged, corrupted, blank, or simply unreadable after many years. If we cannot read a disc or access the JPEG photos on it, we can’t refund that disc or order.
We do not repair damaged discs
Disc Rescue is a photo transfer service. We do not repair discs or perform special data recovery.
We do not recover deleted files
We transfer the JPEG photos that are currently accessible on the disc. We do not search for photos that were previously deleted, erased, or lost.
Some photos may work while others do not
A disc can open even when one or more JPEG files are damaged. If we can access some of the photos but not others, we will transfer the JPEG photos we can successfully copy.
Mystery discs are welcome
You do not need to know exactly what is on every disc. If you find an old disc marked “Vacation 2004,” “Wedding,” “Dad,” “Pictures,” or nothing at all, you can send it. We just cannot promise that every disc contains JPEG photos or that every file will still be readable.
Please send only photos you are allowed to copy
The photos should belong to you, or you should have permission from the owner to copy them. Please do not send copyrighted material that you do not have permission to reproduce. Please also do not send illegal, harmful, offensive, or inappropriate material.
We copy your photos as they are
Disc Rescue moves your existing JPEG files from the old disc to a USB flash drive. We do not edit, restore, enhance, rename, sort, organize, or change the photos.
Each order holds up to 25 discs
You do not need to count the photographs. Just count the CDs and DVDs. Have more than 25? Simply order additional boxes.
If you have 100 CDs or DVDs, order four separate boxes. You can send them in separately within 9 months, or they expire.
Shipping and loss
We take great care with the discs you send us, but no shipping method is completely risk-free. ScanMyPhotos is not responsible for discs or other materials that are lost, damaged, or delayed while being transported by a shipping carrier. If materials are lost or damaged while in our care, our responsibility is limited to the remedy provided in the current ScanMyPhotos Terms of Service. We cannot compensate for the sentimental or emotional value of photographs, lost memories, or other indirect losses.
Make another backup
When you receive your USB flash drive, please make another copy of your photos. Save them on a computer, another drive, or another secure storage location. No important family photo collection should exist in only one place.
*** By ordering Disc Rescue, you also agree to the current ScanMyPhotos Terms of Service, including its copyright and limit of liability provisions.
