AV SUPPORT CONTRACTS
AV SUPPORT CONTRACTS
What Is An AV Support Contract?
An AV (audio visual) support contract is a service agreement between an audio-visual technology provider and a customer. The contract outlines the services to be provided, such as providing technical assistance for audio visual equipment installation, operation and maintenance. The services can usually be provided both onsite and remotely depending on the customer’s needs and requirements. The contract will also define the timeline for delivery and any other customer service obligations of the provider.
They are used to ensure that the customers’ audio-visual needs are met and can cover anything from regular equipment maintenance to emergency call-out repairs. When you work with the right AV partner, they will typically provide access to an experienced team of technical engineers, who can assist you with a range of services such as installation, system design and programming, troubleshooting, training and facility management.
AV support contracts are a great way to ensure your audio visual setups and equipment remain in top condition, while also providing peace of mind that any technical issues you encounter will be taken care of quickly and efficiently. By investing in an AV support contract, you can save time, money and resources by eliminating the need for having to contact multiple providers for each service or issue. Plus, your AV provider will be able to develop an understanding of your individual needs and make sure that those are met on a consistent basis.

F.A.Q.s
How much does an AV support contract cost?
The cost of an AV support contract will vary depending on the level of service you require and the type of equipment that needs to be covered.
A basic support package may start from as little as £50 per month for PAYG, rising to several hundred pounds for a comprehensive support package.
Depending on the level of equipment support you need in your office space, you may also need to invest in an advanced replacement or return-to-base service, which can also increase the cost.
If you are unsure of what type of support package is right for your business, our technical team will be happy to provide a bespoke quotation based on your individual needs.
What is an AV support technician?
An AV support technician is a trained professional who specialises in the installation, operation and maintenance of audio visual systems. It is their responsibility to ensure that your AV equipment is functioning properly and if needed resolve any technical issues that may arise.
The technicians can provide advice on the best setup for your specific requirements, recommend upgrades or replacements where needed and arrange preventative maintenance to ensure any existing equipment is in good working order. They can also install software and drivers, perform tests on audio visual systems and troubleshoot any problems that may arise.
AV support technicians are essential for ensuring your AV system is running smoothly and efficiently, so make sure you have a reliable team of professionals ready to help if needed.
What is the difference between a contract and a service contract?
A contract is an agreement between two parties that outlines the terms and conditions for a particular service. Typically, it will outline what each party will provide, along with any rules or regulations that need to be adhered to.
A service contract goes into more detail than a basic contract, specifying the level of service you can expect from your AV support provider. It should cover the tasks, timeframe and service levels that need to be met throughout the agreement, as well as any additional services or support packages you may want to include. Both parties must agree on all terms before beginning the activity, ensuring both sides are fully aware of their obligations and responsibilities.
