Billing
Technology Navigators bills hourly for productive time completed either at
our location or yours. Consulting or support provided via phone, email, or in person will be billed in 15 minute
increments. If an on-site visit to your business is not required and your call takes less than 7 minutes,
there will be no fee. There will be a minimum 1/2 hr charge for onsite visits. Discounts may be available by
contract or retainer.
Terms
For those customers committing to a number of hours each month, retainers are due in advance at the beginning of the month. All other terms are Net 15
of invoice unless otherwise specified by contract. All accounts over 30 days are subject
to a finance charge of 1.5% per month. If your business requires different terms, please discuss
your needs with us and we may be able to accommodate you.

Block Time
Due to requests from many of our customers, we are offering
a new service feature, which will allow our customers to save money using our services with a fixed rate
strategy. We now offer you the opportunity to purchase blocks of time at a reduced rate. Through the
purchase of a block of time you will have access to our full service and support staff including system
engineers, network technicians, and on-site PC technicians. Block time covers hours used for service
and/or support. If premium time is requested for issue resolution, the time can be applied to your
pre-paid block of time at the premium rate or billed separately from your prepaid time.
This option
is for pre-payment of time only, and does not include any costs associated with products purchased.
Mileage will not be included in the block time and will also be billed separate. There will be a minimum
of a ½ hr charge for onsite visits.
