SECTION 6 – COURSE UPDATES

An update is a small chapter or section revision. This may happen because of unforeseen software information or just typographical error revisions.

Updates to courses do not extend technical support.

The availability will only be open to customers who purchased the older course. No new purchases will be allowed and will be redirected to the upgraded course material. Following the one year of access of outdated material, the course will be removed from the website and will no longer be able to be accessed.

Online courses are not for resale. If in the event it is found that an online course has been transferred from the original purchaser, online access will be removed.

SECTION 15 – TECHNICAL SUPPORT

 

All of The Tuning School’s courses come with online technical support. The transmission guides come with 3 months of support and all other courses come with one year of support from the date of purchase. To attain technical support a customer must fill out an online support request found on the menu bar on www.thetuningschool.com. Within the support portal, the customer has the ability to add a scan file and tune file, which the support technician would have to see for most technical support requests.

Technical support only covers the material and vehicles that are covered within the purchased course, it does not cross platforms (i.e. if the customer owns a Ford course, they would not receive support for GM vehicles). Also, technical support does not cover any topic that is not covered in the purchased course (i.e. advanced topics or GM Gen V knowledge will not be given to a customer who purchase a GM Beginners course).

We will not assist customers in tampering with any emissions control devices such as but not limited to O2 sensors, catalytic converters and EGR's regardless of the state or country they are located in.

If a hands-on class was purchased, the support starts on the first day of class. 

The purchase of additional courses resets the year of technical support to the date of purchase. The courses do not compound the support time frame.

To renew technical support for a year, please call our sales department. A renewal fee will be assessed as long as certain conditions are met; the customer’s course must be on the current build (i.e. GM Beginners course using HP Tuners 3.x), not an older version (i.e. GM Beginners course using HP Tuners 2.8).  The Tuning School does not support old platforms, only the most current. In this type of situation, the customer would have to purchase the newest course to receive technical support.
