How might you use your Block Of Time Contract?

Advantages

Advantages

Unlike typical support contracts, the Block Of Time can be applied toward a wide variety of services over an unspecified period of time. There is no "use it or lose it" deadline, nor are they any terms that limit its use to certain types of services or products. All of the services provided by ALN Networks can be billed against the Block Of Time. If more time is needed than was initially contracted for, an additional Block Of Time can be purchased at the same discounted rate.

Time is accurately tracked for each use of the Block Of Time, and you receive a statement for each support activity, indicating the type of service performed, the amount of time used, and the time remaining under the current contract.

Cost

We have a single standard rate for computer work of $85 per hour. A Block Of Time is sold in 10-hour increments or more. You get a discount off of the hourly rate if you buy more than 10 blocks. This will lower the hourly rate to $65 per hour or a savings of $20 per hour.

Hours bought on the Block Of Time plan also be used to cover URGENT (4-hour response time) or mission-critical EMERGENCY (2-hour response time) support calls, along with Standard non-critical calls. Hours will be deducted from the Block Of Time in relation to the response-time requested:

Urgent responses are billed at time-and-a-half rates; Emergency responses are billed at double-time. Customers are not charged at the higher rate if the response-time is quicker than requested. The table below summarizes the Customer Support Agreement Hourly Rate Structure.
