PC repair disclaimer example?

[doh-nut]

im going to try and fix someones computer. his computer is really hosed, I don't really know him personally, but hes going to pay me, so I'm wondering if any of you know of an example disclaimer which works well with PC related things.

for example if his harddrive burns out while im sitting in the chair to his computer, so that he doesn't hold me responsible. i just want to cover my ass here legally, and i thought a disclaimer would be the best thing. ive been searching online for a long time but can't find an example. maybe someone here with a PC business might have one i could take a few things from?

"I hearby authorize repair work to be done using necessary metarials. *insert name here* will not be held responsible for loss or damage to equipment in case of fire, theft, accident or any other cause beyond your control. I understand that I am responsible for backing up any data before my computer is worked on. *insert name here* is not responsible for any loss of data that may occur during his work.

pretty good IMO
