GET UNLIMITED SERVICE CALLS UNDER THE PLAN!
A lot of bang for your buck…
Since the plan covers 100% of service labor up to four hours, and service appointments have a one hour minimum, you can have service labor for as many as 4 one hour calls fully covered during the plan year (service labor does not include $20 visit fee). Also, with a membership you can also have unlimited additional service calls at 90% of the current retail service labor rate. Most customers will use fewer and longer calls under the plan. Platinum Members get priority service.
USE MORE THAN 4 HOURS AND STILL SAVE!
What if you use more than 4 hours?
Don’t worry, the savings don’t end if you use up your 4 hours! As a Charleston Data Service Platinum Plan member, hours used in excess of 4 hours are charged at a discounted rate of 10% off of retail. That means at current rates, plan members would get the additional labor at just $90/hour instead of our usual $100/hour! Also, you will still get the discounted visit fee of $20, on every service call!
CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP AT ANY TIME
We make it easy for you to decide!
While we expect to provide outstanding service and great value to our customers, we understand there are times when a customer may change their mind. We won’t force you into a contract you don’t want, so you can cancel at any time. Of course there are certain reasonable terms and restrictions designed to prevent fraud or abuse of the plan. We encourage you to read “Terms and Conditions” to learn about what those terms and restrictions are.

- Service labor coverage – Essentially, any work that your geek can do for you during 4 hours of on-site labor is covered at 100% of the Service Labor cost and after 4 hours, 10% of the cost of Service Labor is covered under the plan.

- 5% of the cost of parts, equipment, or PCs purchased is covered under the Plan.

WHAT ISN’T COVERED WITH A MEMBERSHIP?
- Software purchases are not covered under the plan and are not discounted.
- Managed, online, and hosted services such as, but not limited to, online backup, antivirus, security, and email hosting are not covered under the plan and are not discounted.
- Because the Platinum Plan is a discount plan, other discount coupons and offers are rendered invalid by the Plan and cannot be used to discount or offset any Plan or service costs unless specifically stated for that purpose on the coupon.
- Plan coverage is valid only for the single physical location it is sold at (or the single location that is declared as the “service location” during purchase). If you wish to have Plan coverage at more than one location (e.g. Office, Regular home and vacation home), two Plans would need to be purchased, one for each location.
PLATINUM PLAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Customers signing up for The Plan are committing to a purchase of $479.40 charged in twelve monthly installments of $39.95 billed directly and automatically to their credit card. Customers who sign up for The Plan also give Charleston Data Service permission to charge visit fee amounts and non-covered costs directly to their credit card account without requiring further authorization.
All fees and payments are non-refundable regardless of whether plan services are used or not.
Customers may cancel their membership at any time with 30-day’s written notice sent to:
Charleston Data Service
PO Box 71952
N. Charleston, SC 29415-1952
Attn: Subscription Services
For customers who cancel their membership prior to meeting the one-year commitment, if the retail value of services used by the customer exceeds the amount paid into the Plan, the customer’s credit card will be charged the difference between retail and fees paid. Unless cancelled, the plan automatically renews annually for another 12-month commitment at the then current rate. Plan services and offerings do not carry over from year to year and are forfeited on the “valid till” date (annually) if unused.
For customers who stop payment without notice to Charleston Data Service, if the retail value of service used by the customer exceeds total value of $479.40, the customer’s credit card will be charged the difference between retail and fees paid. Furthermore, if the retail value does not exceed the amount of $479.40, the balance of the full $479.40 is to be paid.
Charleston Data Service reserves the right to add, remove, or alter plan offerings, coverage, and costs at any time at its sole discretion. Members should check this web page for up-to-date information, details, and Plan changes:
Membership in The Plan represents a form of discount on Charleston Data Service services and as such, cannot be combined with other coupons or discount offers.
Charleston Data Service reserves the right to refuse service under the plan. In the event that any perceived dangerous or unsafe condition exists, if the member requests Charleston Data Service to perform work that is perceived to be illegal, immoral, or dangerous, or if for any reason, at the sole discretion of Charleston Data Service, Charleston Data Service may refuse service.
Individual membership subscriptions as well as membership plan offerings may be cancelled by Charleston Data Service at any time and at its sole discretion.
