Optional Software Support

  • 6 months: $562.50, Yearly $937.50 Due in advance. If you pay for 10 months in advance you get the 11th and 12th months at no charge. (there is no discount on the monthly fee for the first 10 months). After your support is active, you may continue month to month ($93.75).
     
    • Includes an average number of telephone support calls as well as email and fax support. The average number of support calls is calculated over a number of months for all customers.  If you call more than the "average", you will receive a 30 day notice of a change in your monthly support fee.

    • An 800 number is provided to pre-paid software support clients (only):  (800) 274-4868
       
    • If we have your credit card information on file, you authorize automatic pay, and you pay for 10 months in advance, you get the 11th and 12th months at no charge.
       
    • If you require any files or data and you cannot download them, we can provide them on CD for about $2.00 (plus tax in Ca). Although this may sound ridiculous, if you are in California and you receive a CD or anything 'tangible' the state of California rules are interpreted by our auditor to cause the software support to be taxable for that month. (?) That's right! If you receive (and pay tax on) a $2 CD disk shipment you will be taxed on the $93.75 support fee for that month. (don't ask us to make any sense of this) They link the two unrelated charges (to raise more taxes for their mis-management of your taxes) If you think this is as absurd as we do, contact your congressman and vote accordingly. California needs a new group of representatives and governor. If you download or receive files by email attachment or you are not in California, this does not apply to you (at least not yet). We advise you to get email and a high speed Internet connection. There is no telling what California will dream up next to squeeze more money out of the taxpayers.
       
    • Software maintenance does not include updates or upgrades to the software. For example, if you now have the dos version there is a charge to update to the windows version. To upgrade from the DOS version to the Windows version, you must have active support.
       
    • If you are not now subscribing to software support, there is a minimum startup of 6 months or $562.50 and then if you continue, we will automatically bill your credit card $93.75 per month if that is what you want.

If you subscribe to support

  • You will have software maintenance fixes to the software available at least quarterly, more often as necessary. Mailed software hot fixes are available on CD only. (see notes above about the taxes)
  • You may get any necessary software fixes by Internet download any time, day or night at no additional charge.
  • Certain special software maintenance fixes may be emailed to you if you can accept files that way.

Training by telephone, at Stratford's classroom, and on-site.

  • Included in purchase price (on-site usually has additional charges)
  • Advanced and additional training available by appointment
  • $295 minimum charge for telephone training - maximum 5 hours
