When you buy a PC, you make an arrangement with the assembler that includes regular servicing and maintenance of your PC components and can also include equipment such as printers, scanners etc. Such an arrangement or a contract is known as an 'Annual Maintenance Contract' (AMC).
A repair all of a sudden might prove expensive and going in for an Annual Maintenance Contract can be beneficial. There are however, certain things that you must know about these contracts before you actually get into one. Network Builders
TYPES OF AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE CONTRACT SERVICES
There are two types of Annual Maintenance Contracts
1. Comprehensive
2. Non comprehensive – Basis.

B.The Secound type of comprehensive AMC does not include replacement of parts. It does not charge for the labour but the owner has to pay the actual price for the parts replaced.
NON COMPREHENSIVE one has to pay for both the repairs as well as the replaced parts.
SOFTWARE
This includes an AMC for all the software related issues such as Operating Systems, Mail Software, Database software etc. It is advised that one should always buy licensed and legal software to prevent any software issues and it also makes maintenance easier as the software company will provide you with a new copy in case the older one gets damaged or crashes.
