Disclaimer for MarketMe's Inventory Management System (IMS) Beta Release and Official Launch
Data Integrity and User Responsibility
While we are excited to offer you the beta version of MarketMe's Inventory Management System (IMS), and eventually the official version, it's important to clarify our stance on data integrity and user responsibility.
-
JSON Data Type: Our IMS uses JSON as its database format. JSON files are inherently editable, meaning that users can directly modify the data stored in these files. MarketMe is not responsible for any data integrity issues that arise from direct modification of the JSON files, bypassing the software interface.
-
Local Backup: While local backups can provide some level of data protection, they are not foolproof. MarketMe is not responsible for any data loss or corruption that may occur due to inadequate backup measures.
4-3-2-1 Backup Rule
To ensure the safety and integrity of your data, we recommend following the 4-3-2-1 backup rule:
- 4 Copies: Keep at least four copies of your data.
- 3 Different Media: Store these copies on at least three different types of media (e.g., hard drive, cloud storage, external disk).
- 2 Off-site Backups: Keep at least two of these copies in different physical locations.
- 1 Air-Gapped Backup: Maintain at least one backup that is not connected to your network.
By participating in our beta testing program or using the official version of MarketMe's IMS, you acknowledge and agree to this disclaimer. Your use of the software implies your understanding of the inherent risks associated with data storage and management, and you accept full responsibility for safeguarding your data according to best practices.
For any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
