Contract and support

Contract terms &
support guidelines

01

Term and cancellation notice

The minimum term is 12 months from the agreed contract start date. We invoice the maintenance package annually in advance at the start of each maintenance period. The contract can be cancelled at the end of the current term with three months’ notice. Without timely cancellation, it automatically renews for another 12 months.

02

Repairs and additional work

We carry out the maintenance work included in your package. Repairs, content changes and further development are not automatically included. If additional paid work is required, including in connection with an update, we inform you of the approach and expected costs before starting. We start this work only after your approval and our written confirmation. Work is billed according to time spent at the individually agreed hourly rate.

03

External costs

Plugin licences, hosting and other external services are not included in the package price and are listed separately where needed. These include databases, storage, email services and API and AI usage fees.

04

Initial technical analysis

Maintenance customers receive a total of 15 minutes of initial technical analysis per customer per month. We use this allowance to review your report, narrow down the issue and recommend the next step. The allowance may be split across several enquiries. Unused minutes are not carried forward. Repairs and changes are not automatically covered by this allowance.

05

Support and response times

We accept support enquiries in writing via future-advice.ch/support or by email to support@future-advice.ch. Our support hours are Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00, excluding public holidays. Written enquiries can be submitted at any time. Outside support hours, regular processing starts on the next working day. Simply submitting an enquiry in the evening or at the weekend incurs no surcharge. For a technical issue, we respond within one working day with an initial technical assessment and a proposed approach. This does not promise final resolution within that working day. Further analysis, testing or discussions with third-party providers may be required. An automatic acknowledgement is not a technical response. Only if both the form and email are exceptionally unavailable may you call +41 41 448 16 55 during support hours. The details must then be documented in writing.

06

Express Support

You can request Express Support in writing during support hours. We check availability and confirm the engagement and costs in writing. Express Support starts only after this confirmation, with an initial technical response within two business hours. Business hours count only within our regular support hours. Final resolution within this period is not guaranteed. For maintenance customers, an Express surcharge of 25% applies to the individually agreed hourly rate. Any available initial analysis allowance is credited against the working time. All prices exclude VAT.

07

Work outside support hours

You may request work in writing for Monday to Friday between 17:00 and 21:00 or on Saturdays. It is subject to availability and starts only after our written confirmation. Confirmed engagements carry a 50% surcharge on the individually agreed hourly rate, with a minimum of one hour, excluding VAT. No additional Express surcharge applies to the same engagement. There is no regular on-call service on Sundays, public holidays or after 21:00. Support is available only by individual agreement. There is no general availability or guaranteed response time outside support hours. Submitting an enquiry or selecting a form option alone does not start a paid engagement.
