TechTeam Terms of Service

Your access to and use of the Verizon TechTeam technical support services for businesses ("Services") is subject to these Terms of Service ("TOS") between You and Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless ("Verizon Wireless"). The term "You" and any derivation thereof refers to the individual and/or company using the Services, as applicable. The Services are provided by Verizon Wireless, or Asurion Service Warranty, Inc., its authorized third-party service provider ("Asurion") or any other Verizon Wireless authorized third-party service provider (any such third party, in addition to Asurion, may be referred to as a "Service Provider"). Your use is also subject to the Verizon Wireless Customer Agreement (or any other agreement governing Your use of Verizon Wireless service "VZW Agreement") and related policies available at www.verizonwireless.com, such as our Acceptable Use Policy available at www.verizon.com/about/terms-conditions/acceptable-use-policy and our Privacy Policy available at www.verizon.com/about/privacy/privacy-policy-summary, all of which are incorporated by reference.

 

THIS TOS LIMITS VERIZON WIRELESS AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDER'S LIABILITY TO YOU AND REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH VERIZON WIRELESS THROUGH BINDING AND INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN THROUGH JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

To use the Services, You must have an active Verizon Wireless account, and You must provide Verizon Wireless, or the Service Provider(s), with the necessary information, which may include Your name or Your mobile Device number, when seeking Services, including those Services available through the Application (defined below). Data usage charges may apply to the Services, and You are solely responsible for their payment. In some circumstances, You may need to supply or purchase additional equipment or software to receive the full benefit of the Services, and You are responsible for the cost of that equipment or software.

Availability of Support Services (Remote and Onsite). The Services are developed and provided by Verizon Wireless or the Service Provider(s), who will use commercially reasonable efforts to be available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Verizon Wireless or the Service Provider(s) make no guarantees regarding the availability of Services. The Services are available only for Your Devices. To use the Services, the individual seeking service on Your behalf must provide information identifying himself or herself as Your owner, member, partner, director, manager, employee, or agent. You may be able to access the Services by contacting Verizon Wireless or via the Application's (defined below) "Click-to-Call" and "Click-to-Chat" features, if available. Availability of Onsite Support Services (defined below) is subject to the separate terms and conditions between the onsite technician and You rather than the timelines set forth in this section.

 

TechTeam Applications. The Services also include access to the TechTeam Desktop and Mobile Applications ("App") that are provided to You directly by Asurion. The App provides several functions, including but not limited to access to the Services through click-to-call, click-to-chat, self-help information, and educational notifications; and may provide other services including, but not limited to, backup of photos and videos; and password management and other device and identity security features. The App is subject to an end-user license agreement, which is independent of this TOS, that governs Your use of the App. You should review the end-user license agreement prior to use of the App.

 

Backup of Software and Data. You are responsible for backing up the software and data that is stored on Your Device or other devices manufactured to be compatible with Your Device or intended to be connected thereto. Neither Verizon Wireless nor its Service Provider shall not be responsible at any time for any loss, alteration, or corruption of any software, data, or files. Verizon Wireless may decline to provide the Services if it determines that You have not taken appropriate backup measures.

 

Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Verizon Wireless will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services. This means that if Verizon Wireless or the Service Provider(s) are unable to resolve Your issue after making commercially reasonable efforts, Verizon Wireless or the Service Provider(s) have the right and discretion to refuse to take further efforts to do so. Additionally, in some instances, Verizon Wireless may have limited information from vendors, manufacturers and developers, and Verizon Wireless may not have the ability to obtain the proprietary or other information required to resolve Your issue. Some technical problems that You encounter may be the result of software or hardware errors not yet resolved by the vendors, manufacturers or developers of that software or hardware, in which case Verizon Wireless or the Service Provider(s) may not be able to resolve Your issue. In those circumstances, You still are liable for any fees or charges associated with the Services.

VERIZON WIRELESS AND THE SERVICE PROVIDER(S): MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU; SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; AND HAVE NO WARRANTY OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, AND ANY OTHER CLAIMS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY FAILURE OF THE SERVICE TO PERFORM WILL BE YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY.

 

Access to Information; Remote Applications; Onsite Support Services. In certain instances, the Services may recommend the Service Provider's technicians to remotely access Your Device and any content stored thereon for the purpose of troubleshooting or otherwise providing the Services ("Remote Session"). To enable the Remote Session, You may be required to run certain software applications on the Device being accessed ("Software"). You consent to such access by the Service Provider's technicians and the downloading of the Software. You authorize the Service Provider's technicians to effect changes to Your Devices, to the extent necessary to provide the Services, and You acknowledge and agree that such changes may be permanent and irreversible. You agree to comply with the terms applicable to the Software, and in the event of a conflict between those terms and this TOS, the Software-specific terms control with regard to the Software only.

You and the Onsite Technician shall mutually agree on the timeline for Onsite Support Services and You shall pay the Onsite Technician directly. Onsite Support Services are subject to specific terms and conditions (which are separate and independent of this TOS, which governs Your use of the Services) between the Onsite Technician and You and You should review them prior to use of Onsite Support Services. Verizon and the Service Provider(s) are not responsible in any respect for the Onsite Support Services, including performance by the Onsite Technician, payment or fees owed in connection therewith, or the billing with respect to these Onsite Support Services. During any Remote Session or any Onsite Support Services, You are responsible for ensuring that any records containing confidential information, personally identifiable, sensitive information, financial or health related data are not visible to the Service Provider's technician or Onsite Technician, as applicable.
