1. Description of the MyTechHelp Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the specifics of each Service Plan, MyTechHelp provides remote technical support to consumers of personal electronics via telephone, on-line chats, and email. The products that are supported by MyTechHelp (the “Supported Products”) and the Services are described in detail on the MyTechHelp website. Services will be provided by MyTechHelp’s technical support engineers (“TSEs”) using commercially reasonable efforts to solve problems that arise in connection with Subscriber’s proper and authorized use of the Supported Products. In order to facilitate the provision of the Services by MyTechHelp to Subscriber, it may be necessary for the TSE to access the Subscriber’s computer system remotely via Remote Computer Control (“RCC”) in order to diagnose errors, make required adjustments and corrections to configuration, and administer the system as necessary. By accepting this Agreement, You hereby consent to the use of RCC by MyTechHelp TSEs.

2. Subscriber’s Obligations. You acknowledge and agree that most, though not all, issues can be corrected through close cooperation between the TSE and the Subscriber. In order to facilitate the prompt resolution of support issues, Subscriber shall provide to MyTechHelp reasonably detailed documentation and explanations, together with underlying data, to substantiate issues and to assist MyTechHelp in its efforts to diagnose and correct problems. Subscriber shall listen carefully to the TSE at all times and follow the instructions issued by the TSE. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has working knowledge of its hardware system, any relevant software, and the facts and circumstances that give rise to a support incident. Subscriber shall ensure that the full system, including software and hardware, is available and accessible to Subscriber during a support session. MyTechHelp shall not be responsible for any lost or corrupted software or data. It is Subscriber’s sole responsibility to ensure the maintenance of a complete data backup and disaster recovery plan.

3. Limitations/Exclusions. MyTechHelp shall have no obligation to support:

• Supported Products that have been altered, damaged or modified;
• Services and products not included in your Service Plan;
• Problem diagnosis and support that may not be completed because of a problem with Your computer or other equipment, or because their configuration is beyond our control;
• Software, including the operating system and software which are not compatible with the hardware on which they are installed; and
• Problems caused by:
• External causes such as accident, abuse, misuse, or problems with electrical power;
• Usage that is not in accordance with product instructions provided by manufacture;
• Failure to follow the product instructions provided by manufacture or failure to perform preventive maintenance;
• Accessories, parts, or components not compatible with the product;
• Failure to follow instructions issued by the TSE; and

Third Party Software is licensed to You by the respective owners or licensees of the Third Party Software. You must agree to the terms and conditions set forth by such owners or licensees prior to installation or use of the Third Party Software, even if MyTechHelp assists You in the acquisition, installation, and/or use of Third Party Software. You must ensure that you comply with the terms and conditions under which You licensed all Third Party Software or purchased any equipment. We do not warrant or represent that we are an authorized service provider for Third Party Software or for any equipment; it is Your sole responsibility to determine if You require additional rights for us to provide such support and if so, to acquire such rights. You acknowledge that support of Third Party Software or equipment by an unauthorized service provider may void any warranty made by the supplier of such Third Party Software or equipment.

5. Fees. You hereby understand that MyTechHelp will charge a non-refundable diagnostics fee of Fifty ($50.00) Dollars to the credit or debit card that You provide. Additionally, You hereby further authorize MyTechHelp to charge the credit or debit card that You provide at registration for the monthly fee associated with Your Service Plan (the “Monthly Fee”) as it accrues on a monthly or other recurring basis as specified in your registration form. All Monthly Fees are non-refundable. You must notify MyTechHelp of any changes to Your credit or debit card account (including, without limitation, applicable account number or cancellation or expiration of the account), Your billing address, or any information that may prohibit MyTechHelp from charging Your account. If MyTechHelp is unable to collect the Monthly Fee from Your credit or debit card, MyTechHelp shall provide You with written notice of such non-payment and may, at MyTechHelp’s option, extend the payment deadline to allow You to provide an alternate credit card number. Failure to make any payment as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement and shall be sufficient cause for the immediate termination of this Agreement by MyTechHelp. In the event of collection enforcement, You will be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees. All charges shall be exclusive of any applicable taxes. You are responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, excise, duty and any other applicable taxes, other than taxes based on MyTechHelp's net income.

6. Term and Termination.
(a) Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, this Agreement shall be effective upon registration and remain in effect for the term (the “Term”) You selected at registration. Upon expiration of the Term, your subscription to the Services shall automatically renew on a monthly basis and Your Credit Card will be charged at the prevailing Monthly Fee for the Service Plan You selected at registration. If You would like to opt out of ‘Auto Renewal’, You must call 877-763-4010 or email customer service at least 30 days prior to the end of the Term.

MyTechHelp shall incur no liability resulting from terminating or suspending Services to Subscriber.

7. Termination and Refund of Services. You may cancel the Services at any time by providing MyTechHelp with a notice of your intent to cancel your services by sending an email to billing@MyTechHelp.com or by calling 1-866-893-6806. You acknowledge that the cancellation will be effective from the beginning of the next month after you provide notification to MyTechHelp via the e-mail. MyTechHelp will provide you with email confirmation of both your request to cancel Services and the actual cancellation of Services. If you do not receive a confirmation of your request to cancel after sending an email or if you do not receive a confirmation of Service cancellation, you must notify MyTechHelp by sending an email to billing@MyTechHelp.com or contacting MyTechHelp Customer Care by telephone.

With the exception of the $50.00 Diagnostic Fee, You are entitled to receive 100% of your money back in case we are unable to solve even one your computer/peripherals related issues to your satisfaction, or not solved within the time frame promised to you. You must apply for this refund within 90 days of purchase of your plan. In order to avail the Money Back Guarantee, you are required to send an email to billing@MyTechHelp.com stating your name, details of the plan and the reason for seeking a refund. We would revert to you within 3 working days on details of your refund.

You will receive a refund or partial refund or any credits for any charges already billed to your account in proportion to the amount of time left in your subscription period. The time left in your account would be calculated to the nearest month left in your service period. For example if you have a 1 year subscription and you chose to cancel the subscription in the third month of service you would receive a refund for the nine months left in your service. A minimum of $50 will be deducted from each account per year of subscription at the time of cancellation. So, if your subscription is for 2 years, the minimum deduction would be $100. There would be no refunds in case of incident based support if at least one of your issues has been successfully resolved. In case you have used our service and still file a chargeback, your account would become ineligible to receive a refund from us.

In case you have used our service and still file a chargeback, your account would become ineligible to receive a refund from us. In case you have file a chargeback without asking us for a refund, your account would become ineligible to receive a refund from us.
