   Seniors over 70 pay $15.00/Month.

  There are many factors that go into negotiating the price of service:

 2 – Number of devices. If a customer has many machines, for instance 25+, a group rate can be applied.

 3 – Types of services, for instance, if a client wants to add Cyber security tools.

 4 – We can charge by device or by seat (number of devices or number of users).

 

Even though we have “Take Control” to access your device. We only use “Take Control” when one of your personnel is attending the session.

  It is advised that you create a full admin account for our technician in case we cannot get in touch with your staff and need to go in to either investigate something, like a failed check, or we need to attend to one of our processes.

Donald: Would you like these contracts to last for a certain period of time (i.e.  6 months, 1 year) or would you like them to last until the project or work is completed?

 

Would you like the contract to renew automatically?  Some clients like an autorenew so you can lock in the vendors at the same price.  Other clients don’t want to autorenew because they want the ability to agree to new contract terms.

Would you possibly need the right to terminate the agreement for any reason?

 

Would you be willing to allow the client to terminate the contract for any reason?

 

Is this important for you?  Or should we delete it?

 

Please insert full legal name

 

This is where you can insert the specific details you will perform for each client.  If anything doesn’t apply, you can delete.
