*Please open a ticket. Depending on staff availability and scheduling, we may have priority and advanced support available. Only clients with a monthly management subscription have guaranteed access to priority services.

Support Level
rackAID will inform you in advance of the level at which services will be rendered. Routine system administration, updates, installation and control panel services are typically performed at the Standard rate. Diagnostics, security, performance and similar services are typically handled at the advanced rate. Custom rates are determined upon the length of the project and skill set required. Custom products may require minimum management commitments.

Hourly Rates
We bill in quarter hour increments for standard support methods as well as for chat and phone support. We provide estimates for all work and accept all major credit cards. Some services may require a deposit equal to 4 hours of work.

We do not accept Paypal, wire transfers, money orders or checks for any case-based support services.

For new clients, we require that a credit card be placed on file for any services. Once services have been invoiced, if the invoice has not been paid within fifteen (15) days, we will automatically charge the card we have on file.

Minimum Commitment
Minimum charges of 1 or 2 hours, depending on service level, apply to all case-based support services. Service fees will be the greater of the minimum charge or the actual time worked.

Availability
To maintain high service standards, we do not accept work that cannot be completed in the promised time frames. Due to staffing, work loads or other reasons case based support requests may be declined. rackAID provides guaranteed services only to those clients with management subscriptions. We apologize if this causes an inconvenience. For uninterrupted access to emergency support, see our management subscriptions.

Right to Change Level
rackAID reserves the right to change the level of your support ticket to a higher level. We will request confirmation to continue services under the new level. For some types of work, initial services may begin as a standard case-based support ticket but then be transferred to advanced support. Services involving performance diagnostics and security investigations often fall into under this provision. We will make every effort to provide you with accurate cost information at all times.
