Terms of Service

By purchasing a technology support package with Web Tech Tamers, you are agreeing to the following Terms of Service. (Download a printable Terms of Service document here.)

 

Commencement of Work
Web Tech Tamers does not commence work on any task or project until the client has purchased a service package and issued a work request. All work requests must be entered into the online ticket system so that Web Tech Tamers can manage and track the progress of the work request. Input of the work request may be done either by the client or by a Web Tech Tamers technician during telephone access time.

The online ticket system is available at http://WebTechTamers.com/clientsupport.

 

Work Credits
With the exception of Concierge Hours within the Concierge tier of service, all work requests are charged against the client’s available balance of work credits.

A work credit is a measure of value that is assigned to each work task. Smaller work tasks require fewer work credits. Larger work tasks require more work credits. For example, a small task such as adding a payment button to a web page requires only 1 work credit, but a larger task, such as transferring a blog from one web host to another web host, requires 10 work credits.

Clients may request one or more tasks in the same support ticket, but the work credit value of all requested tasks will be combined and then deducted from the client’s available allotment of work credits.

For example, if the following work tasks are requested in the same support ticket:

— Setup new add-on domain (2 credits)
— Blog Essentials Install Bundle (13 credits)
— Add new shopping cart product bundle (9 credits)

A total of 24 credits (2+13+9) will be deducted from the client’s available balance of work credits.

If you use all of your available work credits for that month and still need more work performed, additional work credits are available for purchase. Additional work credits are $5.00 each for clients in the On-Demand and Enterprise tiers and are $3.50 each for Concierge-level clientele.

Work Credit Rollover versus Work Credit Renewal

Enterprise and Concierge tiers —
Work credits in the Enterprise and Concierge tiers renew each month. All work credits and telephone access time expire at the end of each billing cycle and a fresh, new batch of credits and telephone access time are “reloaded” into the client’s account at the beginning of the next billing cycle.

On-Demand tier —
Clients in the On-Demand tier may choose to rollover their work credits and telephone access time from one month to the next or to renew them each month. To be eligible for rollover work credits and telephone time, On-Demand clients must pay for another month of service before their current billing cycle comes to a close or pre-purchase a multiple-month package. Up to 3 months’ worth of work credits and telephone access time may be carried forward each month.

Work credits and telephone access time will expire at the end of the current billing cycle for On-Demand clients who do not purchase a pre-paid, multiple-month package or pay for another month of service before the end of the billing cycle.

 

The Work Process
In order to complete your work quickly and efficiently, it is important that we know all the details of your request and are very clear of what you need done. To minimize any confusion, and to make the best use of time, we need to know all details before we start any work on your tasks. Any modifications to your original work request and/or any additions to your original work request will incur additional charges to your balance of work credits.

We do our best to make sure we fully understand the scope of your work, but ultimately, it is up to you, the client, to make sure that full details related to your work request have been provided to Web Tech Tamers. Not only will this prevent unnecessary delays in completing your tasks, but it will also prevent us from having to re-do your work and charge it against your available work credits. One round of revisions is allowed to the first work request. Any additional revisions or additions to the work request will be charged against the client’s available work credits.

 

Billing and Payments
All service packages, with the exception of the one-time payment option and pre-paid option available in the On-Demand tier, are billed as recurring, monthly subscriptions through our shopping cart solution and are automatically charged to your credit card. Billing takes place on the same day each month based on the date the client enrolls in the service.

Clients may also choose to be invoiced manually and pay by check. In this case, Web Tech Tamers will not commence any work for the client until the check clears through the ACH and the funds are deposited into our bank account.

If we are unable to charge the client’s credit card or the account fails to be paid within 5 business days of the billing date, the client’s account will be suspended until paid in full. We only perform work services for accounts that are current and paid-in-full.

 

Cancellation and Refunds
There are no refunds. Upon cancellation, any unused work credits and telephone access time remaining in your account are forfeited. Work credits and telephone access time are non-refundable and may not be used for any future work nor redeemed for cash or payment of any type. You may, however, continue to use any remaining amounts up to the last day of your final billing period.

To cancel your account, please use your available telephone time to contact us or issue a support ticket requesting cancellation.

 

Minimum Commitment
The Enterprise and Concierge tiers require a minimum, three-month commitment within the chosen package. The On-Demand tier does not have a minimum, monthly commitment.

 

Changing Service Packages
All clients may upgrade their service package at any time to meet their changing needs. Enterprise and Concierge clients may downgrade to another package after the expiration of their minimum three-month commitment. To change packages, please use your available telephone time to contact us or issue a support ticket requesting the change.
