Software Maintenance to the Software Products

All maintenance and update releases that are made available to the current software products for the existing version level in use will be applied as part of this Agreement. These updates may be applied either via telephone, remote connection to the network environment, or an on site visit depending on the configuration and setup of the system.

On-site Services

If on-site assistance is required, we will perform these services on an as-needed basis and the cost of these services will be invoiced to the Client at our current standard hourly rate. The invoice will reflect only time spent on the engagement and will include reimbursement for any mileage and out-of-pocket expenses that we incur as a result of the engagement. A travel charge or a portion of the travel time required may apply, however, these expenses and any significant expenses will have the prior approval of the Client.

Charges

The charge for this Agreement is based upon several factors; 1) the software modules that are installed and in use by the Client, 2) the software configuration, setup and any modifications in place at the Client site or Cloud environment, 3) other factors such as version level, network and operating systems platform.
