VIP support plans have a fixed time limit per year, with a purchase limit of one per year. Regular VIP and Diamond VIP are NOT mutually exclusive as you can buy one of each in a single year since they involve different levels of service.

The Fine Print
What's the catch? Well, there are some conditions, but none that we think will surprise people or stop anyone from our support plans. Membership conditions are as follows:
VIP Support Plans
- Membership must be paid before it can be redeemed, and only one membership can be purchased per customer, per year. VIP Diamond can be combined with one of the other VIP support packages.
- Membership's have no cash value and are not transferrable, and VIP Club benefits cannot be applied retroactively. In other words, VIP Membership cannot be applied to past invoices or services.
- Keystroke VIP Memberships must be renewed within 30-days of annual expiry date to be eligible for 10% renewal discount, and the carrying forward of any unused support time.
- Service time is calculated in 15-minute increments
Orange Care Annual Support Plans
- OrangeCare Renewal Invoice: Renewal invoices that are renewed "on-time" using our online renewal tool will automatically receive a 10% discount. Renewals that are processed less than 30-days late for any reason will be prorated at full rate with no abatement. Renewals processed more than 30-days are considered a new contract, and would be renewed for a full-year at full-rate with no no fee abatement.
Orange Care Plus "VIP time" must be consumed in that contract year. Unused time will not be carried over under any circumstances. - Proration: The first year's Orange Care support plan must be a full year, but can be renewed on a prorated basis to be coterminous with a customer's Act! subscription.
- Exclusions: Orange Care is exclusive of Level 3 support, which is involves more complex work such as repairs, migrations, imports/exports, conversions, report building, and advanced troubleshooting. With the exception of Orange Care Plus, regular Orange Care plans do NOT include consulting services such as training, development, customization, project work, or business consulting.
- SOW: Service that is beyond the scope of Orange Care or in excess of the daily support allotment will require a VIP Plan in place, from which the additional time would be deducted. In the event of such overages or upcharges, Orange Care subscribers will be advised in advance. In cases of Orange Care Plus, these subscribers would be eligible to use their bank of VIP time.
PLEASE NOTE: VIP and Orange Care support plans are limited to Keystroke customers who have purchased Act! or subscribed to Act! from us, or are current Act! hosting customers. Inelible online purchases will be cancelled.
