General Information
COMPRO offers a selection of maintenance plans designed to meet the growing demands of today's customers.  In addition to standard package offerings, any standard service program can be custom-tailored to meet unique requirements.

For standard programs, the rate is determined by the equipment configuration and proximity to a COMPRO Service Office location.  Rates apply to coverage during the Principal Period of Maintenance (PPM), which is 8:00AM through 5:00PM, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Support plans are available at fixed monthly rates to simplify budgeting.  The minimum period of performance is one year.

TeleDiagnostic Modules (TDM's) supplied as part of a hardware support contract are COMPRO property, and must be returned to COMPRO upon contract expiration.

Payment Terms

Minimum On Site Support Charge

The minimum annual charge for on site support from COMPRO is $6,000 per site within a designated support area.  An additional charge may be applied for services outside a 50 mile radius of a service area.  This minimum charge applies to PHS and SHS programs, and is exclusive of any applicable discounts.

Credit Card Orders

All payments made with credit cards will be subject to a 5% surcharge for fees and administrative costs.

Due Date

Payment terms are net 30 days from the date of invoice.  Maintenance charges will be billed monthly in advance or annually in advance as appropriate.  All other charges will be invoiced upon completion of the service.

Late Payment

Maintenance charges which are not paid when due shall be subject to interest at one and one half percent (1 ½%) per month, but not in excess of the lawful maximum, on the unpaid balance.  If charges remain unpaid, the cost and expense of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, will be due and payable.  COMPRO reserves the right to discontinue service if charges remain unpaid.

Cancellation Charge

After the initial commitment period (one year, unless stated otherwise), COMPRO must have 90 days prior written notice before terminating a service agreement.

Taxes

Prices contained herein are exclusive of any sales or use taxes.  Such taxes, if applicable, will be charged to the customer.  Customers claiming tax exempt status shall provide COMPRO with all appropriate exemption certificates.

Except for new products that are warranted for one (1) year from the date of shipment, all repaired, exchanged and time and material parts are warranted for one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days from the date of repair, excluding labor.

Annual Support Contract Cancellation Policy

Requirements

All annual support contracts require 90-day written notice, signed by an authorized customer representative.

Cancellation notification must be delivered to Compro via postal service or fax.  Email is not acceptable.

Cancellation effective date must be 90 days prior to the period-of-performance end date.

Multi-year contract cancellation will be addressed on an individual basis.

Cancellation fee for materials-only support contracts (e.g., Repair/Exchange, SUS, Configuration Management)

All applied discounts will be rescinded retroactively from the starting period-of-performance date, and shall be payable in full on the cancellation date.

Cancellation fee for contracts with support labor (e.g., TSS, SSS, PSS, RHS, PHS, MHS, CLDS)

The cancellation fee is calculated as follows: 

Cancelled Days = (period-of-performance end date) - (cancellation date)

Cancelled Daily Rate = (annual NON-discounted rate) / 365

Cancellation Fee = ((Cancelled Days) x (Cancelled Daily Rate)) x 50%

The cancellation fee shall be payable in full on the cancellation date.

Model Number and Ordering Information
All COMPRO products are identified by unique model numbers.  Service program model numbers are the same as product model numbers with the addition of a two-digit prefix.  The first digit of this prefix denotes a Customer Service product (F) and the second digit denotes the type of service (i.e., Premier, Standard, SUS, etc.). The breakdown of these prefixes are as follows:

  • FL = Premier Hardware Support (PHS)
  • FD = Standard Hardware Support (SHS)
  • FU = Software Update Service (SUS)
  • FP = Premier Software Support (PSS)
  • FS = Standard Software Support (SSS)
  • FR = Remote Hardware Support (RHS)
  • FM = Mature Software Support (MSS)
  • ES = Total System Support (TSS)

Note: All 91 Series computer systems bundle the operating system and other software products with the system price.  As a result, there is a separate price for hardware and software maintenance.  The software maintenance price will appear in the software section and the hardware maintenance price will appear in the hardware section of the Customer Services Price List.  The base part number will remain the same but the service two-digit prefix will change.

All contract maintenance service pricing is represented in Monthly Maintenance Rate (MMR) dollars, except Software Update Service (SUS) and Mature Software Support (MSS) which are represented in Annual Support Rate (ASR) dollars.
