Kaspersky Premium Support Plan Terms and Conditions

We welcome you as a Kaspersky Premium Support Plan Service customer. Kaspersky Premium Support Plan Service is powered by the Kaspersky Premium Support team (“Kaspersky Premium Support”). 

Kaspersky Lab Switzerland GmbH will confirm receipt of your order and provide the Kaspersky Premium Support Plan Service (“Service”) only if (1) you accept the Service terms and conditions as stated herein (“Terms”), and (2) the Service is available at the time of request.

You accept the Terms herein by accepting provision of the Service and/or using the Service and/or completing your subscription to the Service online or by any other means, including telephone purchase in accordance with the terms of subscription for the Service. We may change these Terms from time to time without notice so you should review them each time that you use the Service to ensure you are familiar with and accept the terms that will apply at that time.

1. Description of Service

Powered by the Kaspersky Premium Support team, the Service provides remote technical support and assistance to home customers covering a wide range of questions and issues related to our home products only. Kaspersky Premium Support will not be able to assist with the use or installation of any non-Kaspersky application or any Kaspersky business customer software. Kaspersky Premium Support entitles you, the customer (“You” or the “Customer”), to the following services via remote support or phone support with a Premium Support Team member (“Service Agent”) during the term of Your subscription:

• Priority routing of phone calls and chat made through dedicated Premium Support phone number and chat link.  Remote sessions will be provided exclusively via chat.
• Expert installation of Your Kaspersky software on Your primary Windows or macOS device (one device per year).
• Health Check on Your desired Windows device via a remote connection (one Health Check on one device per year). Health Check includes assessment of the hardware and software on the device, as well as promotion of best practices with Your Kaspersky application(s).
• Malware Removal on Your Windows or macOS device protected by a Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Internet Security, Total Security, and Security Cloud (“Antivirus Software”). You acknowledge the limitations stipulated in section 5. “Scope of Services”, as well as the requirement that Antivirus Software must be installed and running on the infected device prior to the removal request.
• Remote connections to Your Windows or macOS device, which can be initiated by Kaspersky Premium Support within the Premium Support chat link provided post purchase.

The Premium Support subscription term is one (1) year from the date of Service purchase unless the plan is included as part of a Kaspersky Premium product where the subscription term would coincide with the length of an active product license.

You acknowledge that the provision of Service will be solely made through a dedicated Premium Support phone number and a dedicated Premium Support link for chat and remote connection, both of which will be delivered to you post purchase of Service. Any contacts to support made through regular channels will not be considered for Premium Support, including any submissions made through the https://my.kaspersky.com portal.

Premium Technical Support will be provided via phone, chat and remote session during business hours (Local Time - except select holidays). Major holidays excluded are Christmas and at other times at Kaspersky Premium Support’s discretion.

Local phone numbers for the Service are available in Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America and Venezuela. Chat is available in all countries where the Service has been launched.
