- A Quarterdeck Technical Bulletin #189
- by Bob Perry
-
- Q. What kind of support is included in the purchase price of my Quarterdeck
- product?
-
- All Quarterdeck software comes with 90-days of free, unlimited telephone, fax
- and mail support for registered users. This warranty period starts with your
- first call, fax or letter for that product. Feel free to contact our
- technical support personnel or authorized support centers with your technical
- questions. Here are our primary points of contact:
-
- Quarterdeck USA (213) 392-9701
- QOS USA FAX (213) 399-3802
- QOS USA BBS (213) 396-3904

-
- Q. How can I extend support beyond 90-days?
-
- Quarterdeck offers additional support plans for those with special needs.
- There's Extended Support for those who wish for telephone, fax or letter
- support after the free 90-day period. There's Priority Support for those who
- like fast service and special low upgrade prices. There's Professional
- Support for DESQview developers and system integrators requiring consulting
- in DESQview API program-ming and systems integration. And finally there's
- Corporate Support, tailored specifically for corporations having more than 25
- users of Quarterdeck products.
-
- You may subscribe to these continued support plans at any time. Any free
- basic Passport Support time for which you are eligible will not be affected
- by purchasing any support package. In fact, if you purchase a Priority,
- Corporate, or Professional Passport plan, any remaining free support time
- will be converted to the Passport plan selected at no extra charge. This
- means your call will go right to the express line and to your designated
- support representative.

- registered Quarterdeck products.
