5. Supportability

During the term of a Services Description, BCLLC may add support of new products it provides and/or creates itself or one or more of its Partners. In addition, BCLLC may discontinue support for products that are outdated or where the intellectual property rights have been sold to another company with no partner relationship to BCLLC. The Customer will be given three months’ notice prior to any discontinuance of support for a product or services, unless BCLLC is legally bound to discontinue services. The Customer will receive notice, under the terms of this Agreement, of BCLLC’s sale of any intellectual property rights to one or more of its products to another entity. BCLLC will either arrange for the purchasing entity to immediately continue the support, or continue the support itself for 90 days in order to give the Customer time to make other arrangements. BCLLC will notify a Customer when the Customer’s product or group of products implementation cannot be effectively supported. Once notified, the Customer has 30 days to modify the implementation to make it supportable. If the Customer is unwilling or unable to make the necessary changes, BCLLC will not be responsible for providing additional support services for that particular implementation.

5.1. Expectations

6. Support for Unlicensed Products

It is BCLLC’s policy to not render support services for products, either hardware or software, that do not have a valid license.

 

7. Fees and Expenses incurred in Performance of this Agreement

The Customer agrees to pay BCLLC the fees listed in the Statement of Work and Services Description. Unless such expenses are specifically included in the rates provided to the Customer as an addition to this Agreement, or are waived in the Statement of Work or Services Description, the Customer agrees to pay reasonable out-of-pocket travel and living expenses (if any) as required in the performance of

services under this Agreement. If the Agreement is with a government entity, BCLLC shall abide by the law in the Customer’s jurisdiction, as it relates to the amount, calculation and payment of travel and living expenses. For work performed under this Agreement, BCLLC will submit, on a bi-monthly basis, a billing invoice to the Customer. The invoice will contain a calculated hourly, billable rate for the following professional consulting services and product support assistance as listed in the Customer’s Statement of Work and/or Services Description: Professional Services – BCLLC will determine and charge the Customer an hourly billable rate for professional consulting services associated with any Service Deliverables (software) BCLLC has sold to the Customer. This could possibly include BCLLC’s services involving a business process review, project planning, project management and implementation, ERP and CRM consulting, ZOHO implementation and training, the installation and integration of software, training of personnel independent of ZOHO implementation, development and configuration of software, as well as the upgrading, updating and customization of software to meet the Customer’s specific needs. All software is sold “as is” and may contain possible unknown bugs or imperfections that need rectification. Therefore, BCLLC may need to conduct multiple diagnostic attempts to correct any issues that may arise once the software has been installed. These technical diagnoses and correction of issues related to BCLLC software, may also include off-site research or testing, communication with software publishers, and consultation with the Customer’s IT team or related consultants. All are billable at the hourly rate established by BCLLC upon the signing of this Agreement. The Statement of Work details all hourly rates and descriptions of BCLLC professional consulting services. Product Support and Maintenance Services – BCLLC will determine and charge the Customer an hourly billable rate for professional product support and maintenance services associated with any Service Deliverables (software) BCLLC has sold to the Customer. This could possibly include BCLLC support services involving: (i) remote support, which allows BCLLC to use its software remotely to access a customer’s computer system to perform hands on repair; (ii) on-site technical product support services in which a member of BCLLC travels to a customer’s location to provide personal product support streamlined to each customer’s specific issues and needs; and (iii) ZOHO Support Plans, if required for BCLLC ZOHO users. Pre-paid product support plans are available. They are not based on hourly billable rates and can be negotiated between the parties at the time of signing this Agreement. All hourly rates and descriptions of BCLLC professional product support and maintenance services are referenced in the Services Description, as well as any pre-paid product support plan related to this Agreement. Customers will not be billed at hourly increments for the correction of any errors BCLLC has to spend time repairing, which were associated with BCLLC’s professional consulting services or product support and maintenance. Time spent on system restoration to back out changes BCLLC has to make will not be billed to the Customer. BCLLC will determine when to deviate from the normal hourly billing rate for work on behalf of a Customer. This will only occur under special circumstances and will be documented in the Statement of Work under the applicable Agreement. A change in BCLLC’s hourly billing method will be agreed upon by both parties before they sign the Agreement.

In addition to the hourly billing practices, BCLLC reserves the right, after installation of the software, to occasionally perform some services consistent with a fixed contract rate. (i.e. custom programming, large report writing projects, etc.) At the beginning of the project, a Statement of Work will be drafted and the Customer will be given a fixed price of the cost to complete the project. A fifty (50%) deposit of the fixed price is required in advance from the Customer for the work to be performed. The remainder will be paid at the completion of the project.

As the Customer, you agree to pay all invoices issued, under this Agreement, within 30 days of the date of the invoice. BCLLC agrees to not change its fees, however, BCLLC may adjust fees prior to finalizing any Services Description. BCLLC fees exclude taxes, duties, tariffs, value added taxes or other governmental charges required by law, and such applicable taxes or fees will be billed to and paid by the Customer. BCLLC is responsible for taxes based upon its own personal property ownership and net income.

Under this Agreement, BCLLC is authorized to assess a finance charge of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest amount allowed by law on all past due amounts, starting 30 days from the date of BCLLC invoice. Failure to pay for more than 60 days after the date of invoice, shall be a material breach of this Agreement. BCLLC may then refer collection of the unpaid amount to an attorney or collections agency. The Customer will be required to pay BCLLC any costs we or our agents incur in recovering monies you owe, including any attorney’s fees or collection agency fees in addition to the late fees and accrued interest. BCLLC is authorized to disclose information about your non-payment to a credit reporting agency. This may result in your loss of credit rating and/or court action against you. You may also be responsible for any recovery and/or legal fees incurred by BCLLC during the process.

FAILURE TO PAY ALL INVOICE IN FULL WILL RESULT IN BCLLC GAINING FULL OWNERSHIP OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
