*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.

Hours of Operation
rackAID is closed on major US holidays. Requests received after business hours are treated as being received the next business day. All times are Eastern Standard Time. Emergency support is available 24/7/365 to qualified clients and those with management subscriptions.

Response Time
Priority and Emergency support provide guaranteed response times. The response time is measured from the time the order is confirmed until our technicians first address the issue. Advanced support is as scheduled. Our Advanced staff are in high demand, so for future projects, please try to contact us two weeks in advance to assure availability.

Support Methods
Support is done primarily through email or our online service center. Chat and phone support are available for priority, emergency and advanced support levels. For standard support, we evaluate the need for chat or phone support on a per-case basis.

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. Paypal and checks are not accepted without prior authorization. Some services may require a deposit equal to 4 hours of work.

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.

Emergency work must be pre-paid in full. There are no refunds or cancellations of an emergency case once it has been opened. If you open and pay for an emergency case, the minimum fee will apply regardless of our activities.

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 timeframes. Due to staffing, work loads or other reasons, priority and emergency support may not be available. We apologize if this causes an inconvenience. For uninterrupted access to emergency support, see our management subscriptions.
