General Policies
Sage Software SB, Inc. reserves the right to limit the time spent
by a Technical Billing Specialist on each telephone call and to
limit each call to one incident, which is defined as a single support
issue or question. Sage Software SB, Inc. may also limit or terminate
support service to a client who uses the service in an irregular,
excessive, abusive or fraudulent manner. Terms, conditions, support
features, procedures, pricing and support availability are subject
to change at any time without notice. Coverage is non-transferable
and is valid for the individual purchaser only. Billing Assurance
Plan support is available only to end users.
Service Availability
Support is limited to 12 months from the date of enrollment in
the Billing Assurance Plan. Service availability may occasionally
deviate from stated hours due to downtime for systems and server
maintenance and observed U.S. holidays.
Support Topic Limitations
Inquiries are limited to the following Timeslips product areas:
installation, upgrade assistance, basic usability and basic functionality,
as described in Timeslips product documentation. Sage Software SB, Inc. will also assist Billing Assurance Plan clients with basic
connectivity issues for the purpose of using Timeslips to access
other products or services. However, Sage Software SB, Inc. may
not be able to resolve all connectivity issues caused by third-party
services, service providers, hardware or software. Billing Assurance
Plan support does not cover inquiries on accounting and billing
practices, nor does it include application consulting or training.

for the current membership period. The full Billing Assurance Plan
fee, less a $25 cancellation charge, will be refunded if the client
has made no use of the Plan support during the 30-day period. If
the client has used the Billing Assurance Plan support during the
30-day period, the amount refunded will equal the Billing Assurance
Plan fee, less the cost of any telephone or electronic support incidents
used by the client and less the cancellation charge. The cost of
each support incident will be charged at the then-current minimum
