About The Block Of Time
The Block Of Time is a cost effective plan with which
you can take care of all of your personal computing, networking
and Internet design needs. The Block Of Time can be used
for any of the services provided by Nitro Digital Communications.
It covers everything from planning and installation, to
on-going support and Internet design work. It is a simple
and flexible approach to obtaining professional computer
services, no matter what you might need.

Advantages
Unlike typical support contracts, the Block Of Time can
be applied toward a wide variety of services over an unspecified
period of time. There is no "use it or lose it"
deadline, nor are they any terms that limit its use to
certain types of services or products. All of the services
provided by Nitro Digital Communications can be billed
against the Block Of Time. If more time is needed than
was initially contracted for, an additional Block Of Time
can be purchased at the same discounted rate.
Time is accurately tracked for each use of the Block
Of Time, and you receive a statement for each support
activity, indicating the type of service performed, the
amount of time used, and the time remaining under the
current contract.
Cost
We have a single standard rate for all work performed
of $65 per hour. A Block Of Time is sold in 10-hour increments.
You get a 20% discount off of the hourly rate if you buy
one or more blocks. This lowers the hourly rate to $52
per hour or a savings of $13 per hour. One Block Of Time
Costs $520.
Hours bought on the Block Of Time plan can also be used
to cover URGENT (4-hour response time) or mission-critical
EMERGENCY (2-hour response time) support calls, along
with Standard non-critical calls. Hours will be deducted
from the Block Of Time in relation to the response-time
requested: Urgent responses are billed at time-and-a-half
rates; Emergency responses are billed at double-time.
Customers are not charged at the higher rate if the response-time
is quicker than requested.
