No one likes to be surprised by a large service bill. Tech Dispatch believes keeping customers updated on where they stand is one of the keys to good customer service. Below outlines our process and how we communicate what your service cost will be.

When a service request is made there is a minimum one hour of billable time. If we schedule for more than one hour there is authorization up to the scheduled amount of time. A review of service tickets and scheduled time is available in the support center. If additional time is needed Tech Dispatch will send an email notification or make a verbal request for time. There is an implied agreement with the additional time unless we hear from you prior to performing the work.

If a customer believes the work should be a warranty or courtesy ticket they must declare this at the time of request. This allows a review by Tech Dispatch on if we can accommodate the request or agree with the warranty status. At times the warranty is the responsibility of a third party such as the manufacturer or other vendor and Tech Dispatch cannot warranty the work.

Billable time will be invoiced to you or be charged against your service agreement. Billable time is important to track due to possible overages on your agreement that can lead to additional charges. In some cases the type of work may not be covered under your agreement. An example would be project services when you have a maintenance agreement with us.

On-site calls are billed at a minimum of one hour. Help Desk and Remote calls are a minimum of one quarter hour (15 minutes). All calls are rounded to the nearest quarter hour. On-site service billings start when our technician arrives at your location and before they enter your premises. Billing time ends when they have left your location. We use start and stop times from our billing system for help desk and remote work.

All disputes on billings must be received within 15 days of when the work was performed. Tech Dispatch cannot guarantee all services will be perfect and free from defects. Some services may take more time than the estimate or additional issues may arise as we are performing services.

The customer is responsible to assure all data is backed up prior to Tech Dispatch performing any work. Tech Dispatch will not be responsible for any data loss. Some data loss or system corruption can be caused by viruses or hardware failures. Recovery of data, applications, or your operating system may not be possible and replacement software may be required to be purchased by the client.
