Some services may be available on a "Rush" basis depending upon location. Upon the successful purchase of an Onsite Support service by you through the Website or over the telephone, a service technician will be dispatched to your location to provide the requested services according your service level as follows:
i) Our dispatchers and call processing personal are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time excluding regularly observed holidays. Onsite Support requests placed outside these hours will be received and dispatched on the next business day. For the purposes of response time measurements, Onsite Support requests will be considered as "received" during the first operational period following the time the request is submitted.
ii) If you purchased the standard service level, an Onsite Support technician will be dispatched to arrive at your location the next day following dispatch to provide Onsite Support at the requested service time or within the requested service window. Onsite Support requests received after 3:00 PM Eastern Time may not be dispatched until the next business day (e.g. an order received 5pm EST on Wednesday will be dispatched on Thursday, and, if acceptable to you, scheduled for service on Friday). Once dispatched, Onsite Support will be scheduled, as requested in the service order.
iii) If you purchase "Rush" service or expedited response, an Onsite Support technician will be dispatched to arrive at your location generally within four (4) business hours following dispatch to provide Onsite Support, at the requested service time or within the requested service window. Service requests received after 3:00 PM Eastern Time may not be dispatched until the next business day. Onsite Support requests received on a business day prior to 3:00 PM Eastern may be scheduled to arrive within four (4) business hours of dispatch. Once dispatched, onsite support will be scheduled, as requested in the service order. If onsite support cannot be provided within four (4) business hours of dispatch for a "Rush" order, you will not be charged additional fees.

Should parts or shipping charges apply to a particular onsite support call, such charges will be in addition to the Onsite Support fees as shown on the Website or as quoted over the telephone.
c) You will be billed on a per event basis for onsite support services performed, subject to credit approval. You will be charged in accordance with the rate reflected for each Onsite Support service requested (some very remote areas may require additional travel fees in order to provide Onsite Support at those locations.). "Onsite Support" is defined as a single visit to a customer location to provide a standard Service. Shipping, parts and expedite fees may apply and are incremental to any published labor fee. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Once accepted, any Onsite Support requests that are cancelled within one business day or less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time will be charged a cancellation fee of $95. Cancellation after the arrival of the technician at the scheduled time will require full payment of the original Onsite Support fees stated.
d) Hardware or Software Install/Service: Additional hardware and software installations fee(s) may apply for hardware or software not purchased directly from us.
e) An adult must be present for any Onsite Support. A person of at least 18 years or older must be present for the entire time of the service call. IF A SERVICE CALL IS SCHEDULED AND THE APPROPRIATE AGED PERSON IS NOT PRESENT, ONSITE SUPPORT MAY BE DENIED AND A $95 CANCELLATION FEE WILL BE ASSESSED.
f) It is your responsibility, prior to the technician's arriving for the Onsite Support call, to back-up software, data, information and/or other files stored on your computer's disks or drives. You acknowledge and agree that we, the technician, or other Onsite Support Vendors are not responsible at any time for any loss, alteration or corruption of any software, data, or file.
g) Minimum System Requirements (Wireless Networking Only): All computers to be networked should have a minimum of 8 MB of disk space, and no less than 32 MB of RAM, and must have at least a Windows 98 SE operating system.

i) During scheduled Onsite Support visits, we will accommodate your delays when possible. However, in the event your facilities, equipment and/or critical resources are unavailable when prescheduled technicians are onsite, you will be charged for loss of time at the then prevailing labor rate for each technician directly impacted by such delay.
