G TechAid IT Support
Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") represent a legally binding agreement between you and RGT Consultants LLC ("we" or "Consultant"), and govern the Services and information provided to you by Consultant that we own, control, or make available to you.
These Terms may be revised and updated by us from time to time without notice to you. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. Your continued use of the Services is your acceptance of the revised and the updated Terms.
Services
Consultant is experienced, knowledgeable, and qualified in the business of providing technology support and assistance in setting up and managing consoles, and using Google "Workspace" and "ChromeOS" (the "Services"). You have subscribed or plan to subscribe for such Services for a specific number of hours pursuant to your purchase of our GTechAid IT Support Block through our retailer ("Reseller"). Your purchase of the particular number of hours of our Services on and subject to the terms hereof is referred to as the "Subscription."
The Services may be performed via telephone and other forms of remote correspondence and may include meetings with personnel and other consultants at times and locations at Consultant's discretion. Consultant does not coordinate or conduct in-person support sessions. In each instance, Consultant shall perform the Services only upon your request. You and Consultant acknowledge and agree that:
we are not obligated to provide Services for more than the number of hours purchased as part of a given Subscription; and
any hours of Services purchased as part of a given Subscription will lapse and be forfeited if not used within one year of the date of purchase.
In the event that you use all of the hours of Services you have subscribed to within a year or one year passes before you utilize all such hours, you may purchase a new subscription.
To initiate a request for Services, you must file a support ticket in our customer portal. We will confirm receipt within 48 hours of each request sent, and at the time of confirmation will begin the process of setting up a session with a support professional at a mutually agreeable time. Support professionals are available to conduct sessions only between the hours of 8:00 a.m. (Central) and 5:00 p.m. (Central), Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
The following terms govern the calculation of the amount of time that you consume - i.e., that reduces the remaining number of hours available of those you purchased as part of a Subscription:
When you submit a support ticket in our customer portal, time available under your Subscription will be debited 15 minutes, to reflect time for the relevant support staff to confirm receipt, review the submission, and set up a support session.
After you have submitted a support ticket, time available under your Subscription will be debited for the time a support professional spends (rounded up to the nearest one-quarter of an hour (15 minute) increment, as noted below) researching a solution to your particular issue or meeting (virtually or on calls) with you (or the relevant authorized user).
If you (or the relevant authorized user) fail to attend a scheduled meeting without providing at least 24 hours notice that you will not be able to attend or must reschedule, then the time available under your Subscription will be debited 30 minutes, regardless of the length of time the session may have been scheduled for.
Time debited will be rounded up to the nearest one-quarter of an hour (15 minute) increment at the end of each task, whether researching a solution or a given meeting, so that, for example, if a professional spends 52 minutes on a call with you, this would result in debiting the time available under your Subscription by 60 minutes.
Support session meetings will not begin before 8:00 a.m. (Central) and will end promptly at 5:00 p.m. (Central), irrespective of start time or progress, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by you and us. Where a given session, or part of a session, occurs outside normal operating times, additional fees or time debits may apply.
Time spent by our support professionals shall be determined solely by reference to our records. You may request a summary of time spent on any given task.
