I (Client) agree to pay CompTech Technology Consulting (CompTech) to repair, analyze and troubleshoot my computer hardware at a rate of $110 per hour. Minimum charge is $40. Time will be billed to the nearest ¼ hour.
Payment is due immediately upon completion to the remote call/workshop/house visit.
Billing starts at the time of the appointment. Missed/canceled appointments will be billed one full hour if not canceled within 24 hours.
Although COMPTECH will endeavor to conduct all activities in a timely manner, I understand that troubleshooting issues may be a time-consuming process and agree to pay COMPTECH for troubleshooting time as necessary. If COMPTECH is requested to conduct further research on a specific issue, Client will not be billed for research time off-site, but will be billed for research time while at Client’s site/computer.
CompTech Technology Consulting will install any free programs that you grant permission/ask us to install, while we always try to do our best with the installations, some free programs do not work on all computer systems. If we install a free program for you and you have problems with it, we will uninstall it, but will not give continued free support on the product. Regular bill rates apply.
I also certify that I will indemnify and hold harmless COMPTECH for any and all data or software that may be lost or erased, as well as for any consequence of the erasure or loss of that data or software. Although COMPTECH will take every precaution to preserve all data and software on the computer, I acknowledge that occasionally data loss will occur and/or software operation may be compromised. If I require training in backup methods and procedures, COMPTECH will provide that training to me at an additional rate of $110 per hour. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless COMPTECH for any and all hardware or software malfunctions or accidents that may occur before, during or after work is performed on Client’s computer, and for any results thereof.
Virus Removals: I also certify that I will indemnify and hold harmless and will pay for added support to COMPTECH for any software repairs necessary after a virus has been detected and removed off a computer. Viruses in a computer can cause many problems, we cannot control what or how the virus affected the computer before our removal.

Confidentiality Agreement: Any private information stored on your computer or viewed by our computer repair technicians during a remote support call will be held confidential unless required by law. Due to the requirements of the repair, if approved by you, the client, we will back up your data to insure its integrity. This is done to ensure that a customer has all the files they need when a computer is returned after a restore. During a remote support call, the data is always backed up to the client’s computer or external hard drive. We do not back up the data on CompTech Technology Consulting servers. If requested, we will destroy any copies of your data immediately after the repair is complete. If requested, we will hold your data for 30 days.
