1. Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Terms of Service

This Friendly Computers Technical Support Terms of Service (“Service Terms”) is provided to you
(“Customer”) in connection with the Friendly 365 Technical Support Plan (the “Service”) that Customer
has purchased. These terms and conditions comprise the entire agreement between Customer and
Friendly Computers with respect to the Service.


2. Description of Service

Upon purchase of the Service, Customer shall be eligible to receive the following services via in-store,
remote, in-home appointment or phone support (e.g., over the phone or via the Customer’s computer
with a Friendly Computer Agent logged into the Customer’s computer):

· Software Installation
· Software assessment and removal of viruses and malware
· Operating system installation
· Password reset
· User Data Backup (Off Site)

Service is on a per-customer basis and is limited to the household devices owned by the Customer. Customer may cancel the Service and seek a refund, therefore if the cancellation occurs within 30 days of Customer’s date of purchase of the Service; no refunds will be provided after said 30-day timeframe.

The fee for the Service is a set fee without regard to usage (i.e., outside of the 30-day return period, there will be no full or partial refund of the fee even if the Customer does not use the Service thereafter). Customer may initially purchase the Service in 1-year increments. Training and training services are not included in the Service but are available at Friendly Computers’ standard service rate. If Friendly Computers is unable to successfully complete one of the services set forth above in-store or by

logging-in remotely to the Customer’s computer, Customer may purchase a Friendly Computers service to address the issue at a 50% discount from the regular service price.

Customer pre-requisites: The Service requires a functioning high-speed Internet connection, and up-to[1]date antivirus software installed on the devices.

3. Payment

If Customer would like to continue the Service after expiration of the initial Service period, Customer agrees to pay the Service fees (including any applicable taxes) for any extension of the Service at the rates in effect at the time of extension. Unless stated in writing otherwise, all fees and charges are nonrefundable. Friendly Computers may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving Customer notice in advance.

If Customer signs up for automatic renewal, his or her subscription will renew automatically at the end of each respective applicable period on an annual basis if Customer originally signed up for a 1-year term unless Friendly Computers terminates the subscription or Customer notifies Friendly Computers of his or her decision to terminate the subscription.

For annual renewal plans, Friendly Computers will notify Customer of the pending subscription renewal at least 30 days prior to the date the subscription is scheduled to renew, except as otherwise required by law, and will charge Customer’s the annual fee as of the renewal date (i.e., the annual renewal plan is charged on a lump-sum basis, not a monthly basis). Friendly Computers will bill all charges automatically to Customer’s credit card at the beginning of every renewal period, at the rates then in effect, unless Customer notifies Friendly Computers otherwise. Customer must cancel his or her subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to his or her credit card.

4. Modifications to Terms of Service and Service

Friendly Computers may change the terms and conditions of the Service from time to time. Upon any change in the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Friendly Computers will notify you by posting the changes to the site from which you purchased the Services. Friendly Computers reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service with or without notice to Customer.
