An explanation of our Snap Plus Software and Subscription Maintenance Policy
Snap survey software products are sold with an initial free Maintenance Agreement period of 12 months. This provides technical support via phone, fax or email. It also includes free upgrades to the latest version.
After the initial 12 months of software ownership, the Snap Plus Maintenance Agreement can be extended in 12-month increments starting at $350 and capped at no more than $2,500 per location depending on the then current non-discounted price of the Snap software licenses owned (Excluding Enterprise Licenses). These caps are subject to revision from time to time. If your Maintenance Agreement has lapsed, the cost to reinstate your maintenance agreement will be 62.5% of the then current price of the software licenses owned.
All Snap Surveys subscriptions come with access to Snap’s technical support team via phone, email or fax along with all software upgrades at no additional cost.
What does Technical Support cover?
A technical support incident is a specific, distinct issue, question or problem. For example, how to import a survey into Snap from another software application. One incident may require several exchanges with the Snap HelpDesk team to resolve, similarly one exchange with the Snap HelpDesk team may resolve several incidents. Snap’s HelpDesk Consultants will make all reasonable efforts to resolve the incident to the customer’s satisfaction. Technical support is not meant to be a substitute for training.
Training would be appropriate if you wanted to carry out a series of functions. For example, import a survey from another software application, then create additional variables and analyze the results across a series of breaks.
It is important to remember that your Snap license number will be required when contacting the Snap HelpDesk team.
