PRIVACY & TERMS OF SERVICE
Customer Privacy
Rush Tech Support, LLC (including 1-800-Tech Now, and Rescue Tech Support) strives to keep its customers’ and potential clients’ personal information as secure as possible. At no point will any information be sold to a third-party, all data collected will be for in-house use only. This website utilizes cookies to learn trends for marketing and internal purposes only. All information gathered will only be used to identify who our existing customers are. Our employees will be able to view a customer’s: Name, Phone Number, Email Address, Item(s) Purchased, Price, and previous technician notes about work done on the computer(s). All billing information will be collected one-time through our PCI Security Standards Council compliant processing merchant. We will not have access to anything billing related: Credit Card #, Exp Date, Billing Address. If any changes need to be made to a plan, we will need to re-enter billing information, provided by the customer. This being stated, all calls are recorded and kept on a remote server for 60 days. These recordings are only to be used in the case of disputed billing by the owner or head of customer service and only with explicit permission by the customer at the time of the phone call. A receipt will be issued and stored at the time of sale as documented proof for charges.
Computer Privacy
Technicians will only view (My) Documents & Emails if it is deemed necessary by the customer. The technician has permission to install and remove programs that are necessary in order to fix the computer, but will never install anything that compromises security. Programs will be used to remove junk files, scan for infections, remove potentially unwanted programs, alter start up programs & services, update drivers, and fixing Java, Shockwave, Flash, and other plug ins. Having more than one anti-virus installed on the same system will always be detrimental to a computer’s security, and we reserve the right to remove any anti-virus, if it is necessary, to improve the overall security and performance of the machine. A technician will not request password information to be verbally shared unless the customer is not able to type it in manually. LogMeIn Rescue will request the Windows logon password which cannot be seen, it is encrypted into the software so technicians can reboot the computer, without compromising customer security. All remote sessions will be recorded onto an external hard drive, but only used in the case of dispute from a customer by the owner or head of customer service.
You can reach us at 844-881-RUSH (7874) or by emailing [email protected].

Terms & Conditions
By becoming a customer with Rush Tech Support, LLC, or its affiliates, 1800 Tech Now, or Rescue Tech Support, you are agreeing to all of the following terms & conditions as described in this document. These terms may be revised from time to time, and the most current version will always be posted on our web site at the following URL:
Definitions & Policies
Calling Card:
The “Tech Support Icon” on the desktop that can be used to initiate a remote connection between your computer and our technicians. Usually, this icon will display a green circle with a stylized white “R” and display the text “Rush Tech 844-881-7874”.
Disconnected Sessions:
Because our repairs are done remotely via the internet, a stable internet connection is necessary for work to be performed. If a session becomes disconnected, our technicians will make every reasonable attempt to contact them via chat box, email, and/or by phone (during the customer’s agreed contact hours). If permission is not granted to reconnect, or if the customer manually disconnects the session (by turning off the internet, turning off the computer, or clicking the X on LogMeIn Rescue), the work order will be considered fulfilled and no further contact attempts will be made for that work order.
Disputes & Chargebacks:
When a cardholder or financial institution disputes a purchase made through Rush Tech Support resulting in a payment reversal, this is considered a chargeback. Chargebacks typically occur when someone identifies unknown charges on their bank account, or finds purchases that were made without their consent. If charges appear on your account that you did not authorize, please contact us immediately in order to resolve the issue and safeguard your account from future unauthorized activity.
By paying Rush Tech Support, LLC via debit or credit card, you have agreed that you will first contact us via phone, email, and/or by calling card BEFORE disputing billing issues with your financial institution.
In order to protect our users from unknown charges, accounts associated with chargebacks are restricted while disputes are reviewed. The quickest way to remove the restrictions is for the purchaser to contact the financial institution associated with the disputed payments in order to close them; doing so will restore access to the disputed services and/or software, as well as removing the restrictions from the account. Depending on the institution associated with the payments, it may take several days to several weeks after closing a dispute for the services and/or software to be restored.
Services are not refundable if they have been performed correctly. If we receive a chargeback notification from a bank or other financial institution, we will provide to that institution full documentation of the work that has been done, including but not limited to:
- Customer surveys
- Email transcripts
- LogMeIn Rescue chat transcripts
- Merchant gateway receipts, including address verification and CVV confirmation
- Phone recordings and/or transcripts
- Purchase receipts
- Recorded video footage
- Screen shots
- Written authorization
- Work Order documentation
Once a financial institution has ruled in our favor, the customer account in question will remain restricted until the customer pays a Reinstatement Fee of $45.00. All such persons who file a chargeback against Rush Tech Support forfeit the ability to use debit or credit cards on all future purchases, and will be required to pay via electronic check. Rush Tech Support reserves the right to deny services on a case by case basis.
While we try to be as accommodating as possible, charging back hurts the reputation of the company and could result in the loss of credit card processing abilities. If you are in any way dissatisfied with the state of your service, please contact us right away and we will make every reasonable attempt to rectify the situation.
Early Termination:
Rush Tech Support, LLC reserves the right to end a contract with a customer at any time.
Fulfillment:
Rush Tech Support, LLC and its employees will do everything within human power to make sure that the job gets done to the customer’s satisfaction. Some issues (including, but not limited to, hardware installation or connection with your Internet Service Provider), are outside the scope of our business and will not be grounds for a refund unless it is within 7 days of the Original Purchase Date.
Legacy Subscription Models:
- Legacy Monthly Subscription Plans:
By entering into a contract with Rush Tech Support, LLC you have agreed to the following: Monthly contracts will continue to bill and renew automatically until there is a written cancellation request from the customer within 30 days.

Regardless of usage, a customer cannot receive a refund on past subscription fees. It is your responsibility as a consumer to take advantage of the plan you purchase.
(Example: This means if a customer purchases a subscription for two PC’s and does not utilize service on the second PC after 3 months, they will not be eligible to receive a refund for services on the second PC.)
Monthly subscribers will no longer be billed after a technician has removed the calling card. We do offer the ability pay annually if after 3 months of monthly billing you decide you want to consolidate your billing.
If a card is declined or expires from a monthly payment, the contract will be temporarily suspended until the amount has been paid. If you do not contact us after 6 months and have a $24.99 / month plan, you will need to pay the $24.99 x 6 months = $149.94 before any work is to be done. If the amount due is over $250, then the previous contract will considered null and void, and the customer will be treated as a new customer.

At that point, the contract will be considered terminated and the customer will be subject to one-time fix pricing with thirty day warranties if work is to be done in the future. Under no circumstances may the customer cancel a warranty and then start one back if we have received a hard copy or email stating a cancellation request.

Jurisdiction
- THESE TERMS OF USE AND THE USE OF THE SERVICES AND SOFTWARE WILL BE GOVERNED BY UNITED KINGDOM LAW EXCEPT FOR ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SERVICES OR SOFTWARE MUST BE LITIGATED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF LONDON, UK AND BOTH PARTIES CONSENT TO VENUE AND PERSONAL JURISDICTION THERE. These Terms of Use constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Livedrive with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Services. These Terms of Use create no third party beneficiary rights. Livedrive’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms of Use, and any such attempt is void, but Livedrive may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. Livedrive and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.
Free Trial Period
- Where Services are offered on a free trial basis, payment will be taken for the first Fixed Contract Period when the free trial period ends, and not when you enter your billing details (which will be required prior to the commencement of the free trial period).
- The first renewal date for the contract shall be deemed to be the Fixed Contract Period plus the free trial period, thereafter the renewal dates shall occur on the expiry of the applicable Fixed Contract Period.
- If you wish to cancel your contract during the free trial, known as your “cooling off” right, you may do so by informing us in writing before the end of the free trial period.
- If you do not cancel your contract prior to the end of the free trial period the fees for the first Fixed Contract Period will become due.
Money Back Guarantee
- Some Services are advertised as including a “money back guarantee”. To receive a refund of the payment made under the “money back guarantee” you must inform us in writing before the end of the advertised “money back guarantee” period. This period is the period in which you may exercise your right to cooling-off. Failure to inform us of your wish to terminate the agreement for the provision of the Services during this “money back guarantee period” will be regarded as your informed decision not to exercise your cooling-off right. If you do not claim a refund of fees during this period then no refund will be due.
- The “money back guarantee” is not available in combination with a free trial. If you not invoke your right to cool off during or at the end of the free trial period, then you will be charged for the Services and “no money back guarantee” will be available.
Fees
- All fees payable by you for the Services shall be in accordance with the scale of fees and rates published from time to time by us on our web site (the “Pricing Structure”), errors and omissions excepted, and shall be due and payable for provision of the Services in advance of each Fixed Contract Period.
- The Pricing Structure is determined by pre-agreed usage limits with you (“Usage Limit”). We reserve the right to alter the Pricing Structure, including ceasing to offer elements of the Services. The current Pricing Structure will always be posted on our website. By continuing to access or use the Services after alterations to the Pricing Structure become effective by being posted on our website, you agree to be bound by the revised Pricing Structure. If you do not agree to the new Pricing Structure, you can then notify us that you want to discontinue use of the Services. You are strongly advised to monitor our website for any alterations of the Pricing Structure.
- In the event that your actual usage increases so that you exceed your Usage Limit, then we reserve the right charge you for the additional disc space required or to migrate you to a higher Usage Limit (collectively a “Migration”) prior to the end of the Fixed Contract Period, consistent with your increased actual usage. We are not obliged to contact you prior to a Migration, however such Migration is likely to incur additional fees for you under the Pricing Structure. If you do not agree to the Migration decision, you must then notify us that you want to revert to the previous Usage Limit and take the required steps to effect this change. Please note that if your actual usage is such that you exceed the highest available Usage Limit available at that time, then it is possible that no such Migration is possible, and we reserve the right to terminate the Services without notice to you in accordance with condition 20(f) of these Terms of Use.
- All fees for our Services are due in advance and your contract will automatically renew on the expiry of the Fixed Contract Period, at which point fees for the following Fixed Contract Period become payable. If you choose to pay by credit or debit card then you authorise Livedrive to debit your card with the fees due, and to avoid interruptions in the Services caused by rejected credit or debit card charges, Livedrive reserves the right to update your credit or debit card details (such as expiration dates) where this is not prohibited by law. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT LIVEDRIVE IS ENTITLED TO OBTAIN SUCH UPDATED CARD DETAILS, STORE THEM AND USE THEM TO BILL CHARGES. If you wish to cancel your contract with Livedrive, you must do so in writing at least one week before the expiry of the Fixed Contract Period.
- All fees paid to us are non-refundable except in circumstances set out in these Terms of Use.
- You agree not to issue a chargeback via your bank in relation to any fees charged by us. If you do so you accept that you will be liable for our costs in dealing with the chargeback and recovering any fees properly due to us under the Terms of Use.

- The Software and other technology we use to provide the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United Kingdom and foreign countries. These Terms of Use do not grant you any rights to use the Livedrive trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features.
Additional Terms applicable to use of Livedrive Backup
- Some Services, including Livedrive Backup and Livedrive Pro Suite (the “Backup Packages”) are sold on condition that the data being backed up is stored on the internal hard drives of devices that are not classified as External Storage Devices (as defined above), and that the number of such devices does not exceed the limits stipulated in the Pricing Structure. In the event that you wish to backup data stored on External Devices, you are required to disclose this to us and pay such additional storage related charges as set out in the Pricing Structure for that Backup Packages.
- An upper limit on the number of devices from which backup can be run will be included on each Backup Package. The applicable upper limit will be notified to you at time of Backup Package sale. The upper limit for any single internal or external drive will exclude External Backup Devices, for which the Pricing Structure includes a separate charging methodology. In the event that the number of devices exceeds the applicable limit on the Backup Package sold, Livedrive reserves the right, but is not under an obligation, to increase the upper limit of your Backup Package without prior notification to you, and increase the charges accordingly.
- With the exception of our business service, Services that include Livedrive Backup are not to be used for archiving. You must at all times hold an original copy of the data in the original location on the system it was backed up from and ensure that any External Storage Devices are always connected whilst the Software is running.
