Onsite Support requests received after 3:00 PM Eastern Time may not be dispatched until the next business day (e.g. an order received 5pm EST on Wednesday will be dispatched on Thursday, and, if acceptable to you, scheduled for service on Friday). Once dispatched, Onsite Support will be scheduled, as requested in the service order.

You will be charged in accordance with the rate reflected for each Onsite Support service requested (some very remote areas may require additional travel fees in order to provide Onsite Support at those locations.). “Onsite Support” is defined as a single visit to a customer location to provide a standard Service. Shipping, parts and expedite fees may apply and are incremental to any published labor fee. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Once accepted, any Onsite Support requests that are cancelled within one business day or less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time will be charged a cancellation fee of $95.

i) During scheduled Onsite Support visits, we will accommodate your delays when possible. However, in the event your facilities, equipment and/or critical resources are unavailable when prescheduled technicians are onsite, you will be charged for loss of time at the then prevailing labor rate for each technician directly impacted by such delay.
