Pricing, Payment & Service Level Agreements (SLA)
We design our SLAs and set our technicians \ engineers rates with data provided by Kaseya's Annual MSP Benchmark Survey Report. Thousands of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) take the survey to learn from each other's practices, harness opportunities, and tackle new technology challenges. The survey also provides insight into MSP rates for different service levels.
Zeleration Technology pricing is based on national averages for technical services catering to SMBs (small and medium businesses), and we define those companies as having 1 to 300 employees. For clients using ZOBOT, the typical savings on system maintenance tasks range from 50% to 80% less than your current full-time IT staff, including ongoing training and benefits. We also eliminate all costs associated with ongoing training for your full-time IT departments.
Our Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a commitment to your company regarding our services. All clients are enrolled in the Base SLA without additional cost, and ZOBOT services may be purchased a la carte. Premium SLAs (Plus and Max) have varying monthly costs depending on the number of devices on your network.
The SLA has three major components that impact the price of our services.
-
The time and day of the week when the service was performed (see labor rate card) for hourly rates:
Pre Business Hours: 7AM-9AM
Regular Business Hours: 9AM - 5PM
Post Business Hours: 5PM - 11PM
Overnight Hours: 11PM - 7AM
Weekends \ Holidays (30% premium over weekdays)
-
The response and resolution time of a service ticket. This process involves assigning the ticket to a technician and marking it resolved once it is fixed or if it requires additional dependencies to be resolved.
-
What software is installed on each computing device and the level of customized ZOBOT automation rules.
Notes: To meet SLA expectations, clients in premium SLAs (Plus and Max) must have specific software packages installed, primarily related to System Security, Backup \ Disaster Recovery, and our technicians can also modify the ZOBOT rules for each device without prior approval to improve performance.
We also offer per-user or device pricing, but we encourage SLA and incident pricing, as explained here.

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT PRICING \ TIMES
All clients have access to our 24/7/365 Help Desk and Ticket System. All SLAs are designed to ensure customer satisfaction and balance tasks across available resources. The SLA agreement determines your company's interaction with the Help Desk system based on Assigned Time (refers to how quickly a technician is assigned to your issue), and Resolved Time (the technician's goal for resolving the technical issue).

BILLING TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
PAYMENTS
All hardware, software, licenses, subscriptions, cloud services, renewals, or third-party products purchased, provisioned, or ordered on the Client’s behalf are due immediately upon invoice and are not subject to standard billing terms, regardless of delivery, installation, or activation status. Payment or funds transfer must be received within five (5) calendar days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Zeleration (The Company) strongly recommends payment via ACH transfer to avoid delays, late fees, and processing penalties. Credit card payments are discouraged and may incur processing fees in the next billing period.
​
All new clients are electronically invoiced on Net 10 terms for recurring professional services or a la carte services. Payment is due within ten (10) calendar days of the invoice delivery date, unless otherwise agreed in writing. ACH payment is strongly recommended to avoid late fees.
​
As an incentive for consistent, on-time payment, clients who remain in good standing for a minimum of six (6) consecutive months may become eligible for Net 20 billing terms for services, at the Company’s discretion. Eligibility requires no late payments, no outstanding balances, and continued compliance with all billing terms. As noted above, Net 20 terms do not apply to hardware, software, licenses, subscriptions, cloud services, renewals, or third-party products, which remain due immediately upon invoice. Payment is due within twenty (20) calendar days of the invoice delivery date, unless otherwise agreed in writing. ACH payment is strongly recommended to avoid late fees. The company may revert approved clients back to Net 10 terms if an account becomes past due.
​
LATE FEES
​
Any invoice not paid when due shall accrue interest on the total outstanding balance at a rate of one percent (1%) per month (12% per annum), or the maximum rate permitted by Connecticut law, whichever is less, beginning on the day following the due date until paid in full. The Company will also assess a reasonable administrative fee of $350 per month to cover costs associated with invoicing, payment processing, account management, and collection activities for past-due balances.
The Company reserves the right to require prepayment, suspend or terminate services, withhold deliverables, revoke access to managed services, or remove equipment that is not permanently installed.
TERMINATION, COLLECTIONS & LEGAL FEES
​
The Company may suspend or terminate services for non-payment or breach of billing terms, with or without notice. Upon suspension or termination for any reason, all outstanding balances become immediately due and payable, including accrued service fees, reimbursable expenses, third-party costs, interest, and administrative fees. The Client agrees to be responsible for all costs of collection, including but not limited to collection agency fees, court costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing payment or recovering amounts owed. Termination of services does not waive or limit the Company’s right to collect unpaid balances or pursue any other remedies available under law or equity.
