Equipment/Parts Warranties
Five Year Parts Warranty: For Customers who elect for a parts warranty with a maintenance agreement, WeGotYou.tech personnel have determined a piece of equipment is faulty without any physical damage; an advance replacement will be shipped. Any material with physical damage can be subject to a repair fee for the equipment. A return authorization form will be faxed or emailed to the client in whom the client will sign and fax back. The RMA form states that the Customer must return the non-working equipment within 15 days or the price of the replacement equipment will be charged to the client, added to Customers lease or charged to the Customer credit card. Once the return authorization form is received, WeGotYou.tech will ship the equipment from our warehouse.
Five Year Parts and Labor Warranty: For Customers who elect for a five-year part and labor warranty with a maintenance agreement, all terms and conditions of the five-year parts only warranty will be in effect with the addition of the labor for WeGotYou.tech to come on-site to install equipment or software that needs to be installed. There will be no charge for this service. WeGotYou.tech personnel have determined a piece of equipment is faulty without any physical damage, and an advanced replacement will be sent. Any material with physical damage can be subject to a repair fee for the equipment. If the faulty equipment is a phone or other part that can be “self-installed” or “plug and play” WeGotYou.tech will not dispatch an installer and will instead ship the part and if necessary, walk the Customer through the process over the phone.
WeGotYou.tech Service Levels
Reporting/Trouble Ticket: Warranty Customers can call in to our toll free number: 844-468-9689, or e-mail a ticket to support@wegotyou.tech 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most programming changes and service problems can be handled and diagnosed remotely before determining an onsite visit. WeGotYou.tech will do their best making the process faster and more efficient than scheduling an appointment for a technician to come on site. Most systems we install are set up with remote access (unless Customer does not allow access) so most changes and issues that come up, WeGotYou.tech can handle in house. In cases where remote access is denied by the end user, or Customer does not have a maintenance agreement, standard labor rates apply as described in the services rates portion of this agreement.
Full or partial Service Outage: Once a technician has determined the nature of the problem, he or she will first try to correct the trouble remotely by accessing your system configuration. If the problem cannot be fixed remotely, a service call will be scheduled. If the phone system is in failure causing a severe disruption in business, the guaranteed response time for a tech to arrive on site is 4 hours from determination of the issue, unless equipment is required which in some cases may delay the response time. If the problem is a minor system issue, (less than 25% of the phones are not operational or for programming changes/problems that cannot be resolved remotely for any reason that is not impeding on the Customers’ ability to run their business) a 48 hour response time will be guaranteed. Note that even for “minor” issues we strive to respond immediately to all requests.
Customer Responsibilities
Customer agrees to provide the proper environment, electrical and telecommunications connections and give access to the workspace during and after regular business hours. You, as the end user, are fully responsible for providing all other vendor support (not including phone system equipment or service provider port provisioning) before, during or after installation. If you are purchasing SIP lines, connecting multiple sites through a VPN tunnel or would like to buy additional IT equipment WeGotYou.tech can provide those services. If the Customer does not have an IT company managing their network WeGotYou.tech Can provide partner services to tend to your business needs.
