I do side work for friends of friends, business staff, etc. I do charge a fair rate but have not had anyone sign a waiver as of yet. It's probably something I should consider, though, especially if I provide an estimate.
Most of what I've done is malware-related and I usually tell them up front their data and operating system is already in jeopardy. I generally charge $100-125 to put a machine back into a working state, but without a guarantee that I can save all the data.
