How billing is shown

Each card shows the recurring monthly catalog price. The 12-month amount is a cost comparison at that monthly rate, not a separate prepaid discount.

What a scheduled visit means

A technician performs the preventive checklist and maintenance included in that plan. New projects, major repairs, and labor outside the visit scope require approval.

Parts and replacements

Replacement parts and equipment are quoted separately. The deposit shown on the approved estimate must be paid before we order them, and that deposit is applied to the final balance. This is not a deposit to join SecureCare.

SERVICE-AREA TRAVEL

Local travel is included. Longer trips use simple fixed zones.

Distance is measured one-way from Secure Bytes Solutions' designated service location. The applicable amount is disclosed before the customer approves the estimate.

0–20 milesIncluded · no separate travel or dispatch charge
21–35 miles$35 fixed service-area travel charge
36–50 miles$59 fixed service-area travel charge
51–75 miles$79 fixed service-area travel charge
More than 75 milesWritten custom travel quote required

Additional travel costs: parking, tolls, permits, and extraordinary expenses are disclosed and approved separately. Included travel covers only the applicable travel-zone charge; on-site labor and out-of-scope work remain subject to the approved estimate or SecureCare agreement.

Service-plan coverage, not insurance. SecureCare is preventive maintenance and service support for eligible systems. It is not alarm monitoring, insurance, an equipment warranty, or a guarantee against outages. Eligibility, covered labor, equipment discounts, travel benefits, visit scope and response expectations are confirmed in the applicable service agreement.
