That works to get help if you have a paid version. Free version is dependent on this forum or the Fact section.

+1 bob,

piet118,
on the other hand , the link isn't hidden .
With more experience on this forum you would see that this link is given when necessary, also given after reading the FAQs
It is normal to start by reading the FAQs and/or asking for help here on the forum, ,a very large number of problems are solved by these ways.
Only then, you will be directed to the link, when the basic checks have not given apropriate results  ;)
It is necessary to filter a little, the avast support is not there to give you the weather  :D

In any case, I think you haven't tested it, otherwise I think that according to your question, you would be disappointed with the answer and the delay of this answer  ;)
As you said : Good luck to anybody needing service!!

webform is now (1-1-'20) taken offline. no further service by avast then some faqs that dont help and  an expensive usa phone number  Aparently Customers are seen less important for avast, saving on services is a bad company startegy. hiding the ways to get help or leaving no way to get help is not  a good startegy. it makes you loose customers!

No, the difference is that you don't get an US phone number but a webform for sales requests.

yes and an other difference:
when you contact the support in a European language (French by example), you get an answer in this language, which is not negligible when you do not speak English at all.

Probably because the IP address I use is in the US and the one you use is in the EU.
There isn't anything for me to configure.

Well, no idea Bob, but as the OP isn't located in the US, it should work for him.

I can confirm
https://support.avast.com/en-eu/contact/enter (english EU)
or
https://support.avast.com/fr-eu/contact/enter (french EU)

target to the customer support given as screenshot by Asyn with just one little exception for "fr-eu": there's no "Choosing the right Avast product" option.
