Helpdesk and Support Services

We get many 'Phone Calls for Assistance' from clients with Eftpos Terminals, Cash Registers and other POS equipment that we sell and support. 

During Normal business Hours, if these are a quick Phone Call for up to 10 minutes or less - These are FREE. - For calls of longer duration or for an Issue that is Not Covered by our 'Full Serviced Eftpos Lease Terms' or a 'Service Contract for P.O.S. Support', then this time will be chargeable.  If the same issues keep repeating at a site with repeated operator errors, then these would become chargeable.  

When we are supporting you on the phone, we always try to sort your Issue out over the phone if at all possible. Sometimes however a technician will need to visit your site to troubleshoot, repair, or to swap out your equipment. If this is required it will be at the appropriate hourly rate and vehicle costs, OR you may be covered by the lease or service contracts.

FREE Repairs

98% of our Eftpos Leases are what we call 'Full Service' Leases, which are 'Full Service on Site' at your premises to repair, or swap out the terminal. We cover the onsite service costs of staff and travel and subsequent repair of the terminal. So this means we cover any issues that are fair wear and tear and this is FREE and part of your Lease. Other leases are 'Courier Swap Out Leases' for remote areas where local on-site service is not applicable.

Chargeable Repairs

If an issue is NOT from 'fair wear and tear' or it is a 'site issue' and not the terminal itself, this will be a chargeable repair, as it is not the Eftpos terminal that we have leased to you that is the problem.

Examples might be, if the terminal has been dropped, had a liquid spill, been spiked by bad power, or if you/your staff has been unplugging and re-plugging in the terminal or pin pad connections (unless done under the direction of our trained staff). Or a 'site issue' might be a phone line quality problem, or an internet router or switch.

For these sorts of and repairs, Kiwieftpos will still come on site as soon as possible get your site operational again, as per our Service and Support ON SITE Guarantee Times. This may be after trying to sort any issue over the phone first as covered above under the section - Service & Support – Remote & Phone Support.

Compliance Guarantee

If you lease an Eftpos Terminal from Kiwi Eftpos Ltd, we guarantee that we will keep the Eftpos Terminal compliant with the Paymark Eftpos Networks standards for compliance. 

Changes to your Site and Terminal

If you want changes to your terminal or communications, this would be a chargeable job.

Eftpos Terminals come with a 12 Month Manufacturer’s Warranty, These are based on a “Return to Base” Warranty basis, and any “On Site” call service calls are not included and would be chargeable as would loan terminals. If a required “Software Upgrade” is required by Bank or Eftpos Network, these are chargeable as is Loaned equipment while yours is brought back or sent away for service/Upgrade. Service and support times are the same as above under “Eftpos Leasing” but would just be chargeable.
