After Sales and Service
After-sales and service arguments are most commonly used when a U.S. company needs to send in U.S. employees to Canada in order to repair or service leased or purchased equipment at a Canadian client site. This can also include the supervision of installers and the set up and/or testing of commercial or industrial equipment. In order to be utilized to repair or service specialized equipment purchased or leased outside Canada, you will need a valid original or extended sales agreement, lease/rental agreement, warranty and/or service contract. After-sales and service has been known to include computer software in some cases.
