HELPTECH24 may use its discretion to allow THE CLIENT to pay the charges in a number of installments, the number and amount of which will depend on the total price of the contracted service. In this case, a recurring monthly payment will be set up until the total charge for the contracted service has been paid according to a payment calendar as indicated by HELPTECH24 within the contract.
Under this premise, and in the event that THE CLIENT does not make one or more payments on the agreed due date, the support plan initially contracted may be downgraded, in type and/or duration, to a lower priced support plan which conforms to the payment by THE CLIENT of the full fee to date in accordance with the Features page mentioned above.
THE CLIENT can upgrade the duration and/or type of their contracted support plan by paying the difference between the contracted plan and the new plan.
The support service will not be renewed automatically once the subscription has ended.
Whilst the contract is in force, any software used in the provision of the previously described services may be replaced by another that fulfills the same function and has similar features.
It is stated that the technical team at HELPTECH24 will only be able to provide assistance and support to THE CLIENT based on issues relating to the software on THE CLIENT’s devices, but not for those related to the hardware or material elements, for which they will only be able to provide recommendations or potential assessment of their function.
