Consulting with SupportCALL starts at AUD $200.00 (ZAR R450) per hour, billed in 30-minute increments, with a 1-hour minimum purchase required.

Rates may vary based on the complexity of the project or job. Estimates can be provided upfront if a clearly defined scope of work is provided. A 1-hour appointment may be required to discuss larger or more complex projects. Work performed outside of normal business hours or on holidays will be billed at a higher rate. Requests for consultations with David Maree directly will incur a higher rate. Specific products or services may also increase the hourly rate due to their advanced nature.

Teams and Skype are used for communication during meetings. Webcams are optional, and if a mic is not available on your computer, you may use a phone to call into the meeting.

For remote configurations, we will have you connect us to your computer via our SupportDesk remote software at the beginning of your appointment. We prefer not to use other meeting clients or remote connection software. A ticket system login is created for registered clients to allow the creation of callout requests.

=== 20. Documentation and Screenshots ===
After responding to your initial request with a booking link, you may send us any information that will assist during your appointment. Documentation sent prior to an appointment will be reviewed at the technician’s discretion. We are not obligated to review any documentation before a meeting as it is considered billable time.

=== 22. Warranty Information ===
Due to the nature of the work performed, there is no warranty on hourly work. Each hour worked is billable regardless of the outcome. While recommendations will be made regarding the level of effort required to implement a solution or fix an issue, it is up to you to specify if there is a cap on the number of hours. Products or third-party services come with their own warranty and support from the provider. SupportCALL will assist with these as much as possible, but fees may apply. All work is billable, and periodic slow billing can occur. Terms and pages may be updated or changed without notification, and it is your responsibility to check for changes regularly.

=== 23. Protection of Personal Information ===
We hold your and your company's information and data in the highest regard. Best practices include:
  * Encrypting all sensitive data during storage and transmission.
  * Regularly updating and patching our systems to protect against vulnerabilities.
  * Implementing strict access controls and ensuring only authorized personnel have access to sensitive information.
  * Conducting regular security audits and assessments.
  * Providing training to staff on data protection and privacy policies.

=== 24. Ticket System Workflow ===
This section outlines the specific workflow for handling tickets received from clients.

**Setup:**
  * Clients have access to the SupportCALL Ticket System via a self or SupportCALL assisted created login.
  * Clients can log in and create either Estimate Requests or Callout Requests (Cabling, Onsite or Remote Support).
  * These requests are actioned by SupportCALL as these tickets are created by the with their own login to the SupportCALL Ticket System.

**Additional Fields:**
  * To aid Clients and link to Client Systems as a tracking record, additional fields are provided: (some examples below)
    * Own HelpDesk linked (ticket/order): A Choice stating if there is a ticket or reference on a system of yours we can refer this request to.
    * Own HelpDesk / Order #: Please enter the ticket or reference number on your system.

**Purchase Order Box:**
  * A PO box field is available to add a PO # if available at the time of ticket creation. This is a new addition but is filled in if provided after ticket creation.

**Ticket Creator Information:**
  * The ticket shows a field for the creator to enter their name, number, and email as a reference to the ticket.

**Completion and Verification:**
  * After a job is completed and the ticket updated, a verification request is usually sent to clients to verify the resolution and that processing of the ticket may be done.
    * (example) GOOD DAY, PLEASE CHECK CURRENT RESOLVE, PLEASE ALSO CONFIRM WE MAY CLOSE AND MARK THIS TICKET AS RESOLVED, AND PROCESS AND BILL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

**Processing of tickets:**
  - Processing of ticket (in other words, closing and invoicing) will be done once the client has responded to the resolution verification request or when enough time has passed for SupportCALL to deam the client is satisfied that the ticket is resolved and that SupportCALL my process and invoice the ticket.

By using the Ticket System, sites and services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.
