      1. Hardware which meets or exceeds our Minimum System Requirements; and
      2. appropriately qualified personnel who understand the Minimum System Requirements and are generally conversant with the Hardware and the operation of the System.

We will assign the benefit of any product warranties in respect of the Hardware to the maximum extent possible.
  6. Implementation Services
    1. You shall provide us with good faith cooperation and access to such information, facilities, appropriately qualified personnel and equipment as reasonably required by us in order to provide the Implementation Services, including providing security access, information, and software interfaces to relevant applications.
    2. Implementation Services shall be provided on a time and materials basis at our standard rates in effect at the time the Implementation Services are performed, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form. You agree to reimburse us for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs including travel and accommodation that we incur in connection with providing the Implementation Services. Where possible, we will agree those out-of-pocket expenses and costs with you beforehand.
    3. Where the Order Form or any other document contains a scope of work or specifies fees for the Implementation Services, this reflects an estimate of our expected time and materials incurred for budgeting and scheduling purposes, but will not be binding on us or be taken as a fixed fee for the Implementation Services.
  7. Hosting Services
    1. We will use all commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Hosting Services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week except for periods where we restrict access reasonably required for upgrades and maintenance.
  8. Support Services
    1. We will:
      1. provide you with telephone or internet access to our help desk 7 days per week between the hours of 8am and 5pm to support your use of EpicShot and, for these purposes:
        1. consultations totalling not more than:
          1. 30 minutes; and
          2. 4 hours in any calendar month,
          will not incur any additional charge; and
        2. to the extent any help desk consultations exceed either of these thresholds we may, at our discretion, charge for such additional time at our then current standard hourly rates;
      2. where necessary, provide remote assistance if help desk support has not remedied a problem;
      3. use reasonable endeavours to work with you, your appropriately qualified personnel, your information technology system supplier and/or service provider to identify and resolve any issues or problems which affect the operation of your system (this may involve working together to implement temporary workarounds in the case of a problem which can only be addressed by a software upgrade).
    2. We may use sub-contractors to perform the Support Services.
    3. The Support Services may be provided remotely and you will ensure that we are able to access your systems as reasonably required for us to provide the Support Services remotely and you will remain responsible for ensuring at your own cost that your network and systems meet our notified requirements in respect of the same.
    4. We will use reasonable endeavours to identify any issue and provide a prompt solution if that is reasonably feasible. Otherwise, we will designate the issue as one of the following:
      1. issue prioritised for ‘investigation and fix’ in an urgent software patch;
      2. issue is non-urgent but will be scheduled for ‘investigation and fix’ in an upgraded version of our software;
      3. issue results from your system and requires work from your system supplier and/or service provider;
      4. issue is capable of resolution by implementing changes to your operating procedures or having relevant staff undertake further training; or
      5. issue remains unsupported or unidentified.
    5. Subject to clause 8.1(a), the Support Services will be charged to you at our then current rates on a time and materials basis (including reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred by us), unless these services are required because of a serious defect or bug in our software which necessitates a prioritised software upgrade.
  9. Fees and Payment
    1. We will invoice, and you will pay, the Fees monthly in arrears. In addition to Fees, our invoices will include expenses and disbursements (including the cost of any Hardware) incurred on your behalf. Where possible, we will agree the nature of these expenses and disbursements with you beforehand. Because we incur these expenses and disbursements on your behalf, we may request payment of our out-of-pocket costs in advance or in arrears at our sole discretion. If we require advance payment, we may pause providing our other Services to you until we have received full payment from you.
    2. You must pay our invoices by the 20th of the month following receipt without setoff or deduction.
    3. We may change the Licence Fee at the commencement of each Renewal Term by providing you with written notice prior to the expiry of the then-current Term. We may otherwise adjust the Fees at any time during the Term:
      1. to the extent necessary to pass on each increase in our third party costs (provided that we will not apply our own margin in respect of such increases); and
      2. by an amount equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index over the corresponding period.
    4. Our Fees do not include Taxes unless otherwise stated. If any Taxes apply in connection with your use of EpicShot or the Services you must pay those Taxes in addition to the Fees.
    5. If any payment required under this Agreement is overdue we may, in addition to our other rights or remedies, suspend the provision of the Services (in whole or in part) without liability to you until all overdue amounts are paid in full and/or charge default interest on any overdue amounts at a rate equal to our overdraft rate plus 1.5% per annum.
    6. You agree to reimburse us for our reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable legal fees) in collecting overdue amounts from you.
    7. Each customer package includes a standard storage allowance of 800MB. If your storage usage exceeds this allowance, any additional storage used will be charged to you at cost. We will notify you if your usage exceeds the standard allowance and provide you with the applicable charges for the additional storage.
  10. Termination
    1. You may terminate this Agreement for any reason by written notice to us (with termination effective from the end of the then-current Term) or pursuant to your rights under clause 3.2.
    2. We or you may terminate this Agreement by written notice if the other party breaches any of the material terms of this Agreement, and, where that breach is capable of remedy, the other party fails to remedy that breach within 20 Working Days after receiving a written notice from the first party requiring remediation.
    3. We may in our discretion terminate or suspend this Agreement and all licences granted to you pursuant to this Agreement immediately upon written notice if:
      1. you breach any provision of clause 4, 9, 14 or 15;
      2. you are unable to pay your debts as they fall due; or

Following termination, we will delete the Customer Data remaining on servers hosting EpicShot in the normal course of operation unless applicable law requires retention.
    2. A party's rights and obligations accrued prior to the effective date of expiration or termination will continue unaffected.
    3. If you terminate this Agreement pursuant to your rights under clauses 3.2 or 10.2, we will provide you a pro-rata refund of any prepaid Fees that relate to the period following the effective date of termination.
