Engineer- Member of staff who, in the opinion of the Company, can complete the work within their competency to the satisfaction of the Customer or independent third party.

Brief: (For troubleshooting work)
Upon receipt of the Customer's initial query, the Company will need to
identify the nature of the problem including:
A full description of the problem
Any error messages being experienced,
When the problem first arose ?e.g. after any hardware device/software
was installed
When the problem normally occurs ?e.g. when accessing the internet
Who the supplier of the service (eg. Broadband ISP) is
The operating system and software being used ?e.g. Windows XP / MS
Office
The hardware being used and any network connection
Whether the system is part of a home, office workgroup, corporate LAN
or other configuration
Any recent work done to resolve the problem or past investigations
Whether the problem is intermittent or permanent.
The Company may also need to know more about the system to fully
identify the problem. It is the Customer's responsibility to co-operate
fully, provide the correct necessary information and should such
information be inaccurate or missing the Customer will be liable for all
additional time incurred by the Company.
Brief: For upgrades or new installations.
If the Customer requests that the Company upgrade their existing
system the Company will require full details of the current system
including the number of PCs in use, the operating system, any servers
in operation, the software being used and a description of the use being
made of the system.
The Company will also require details of the expected use/lifecycle of
the software and hardware e.g. does the Customer receive new
proprietary software each year for their business operations or does the
IT requirement remain static?
Next the Company will need to know the desired level of new
functionality and the funds/timescale available to achieve this.
Any shortcomings from information provided may result in additional
time/cost being incurred.
The Company may choose to provide a no obligation audit/consultation
and this is strongly recommended. Often the Company will do this free of
charge. However, the Company will be under no obligation to offer the
audit for free. On such occasions, the Company will of course inform the
Customer of the cost prior to starting the audit.

For all work the Company will also require:
All CDs/media/manuals for software installed on the PC including the
operating system and any service packs.
The licence key/code for all software applications.
The Customer agrees to identify the Company for any infringement of such
licences as software will be installed in good faith if provided to the
Company. It shall not be the Company's responsibility to check for licence
infringement.

Location:
The Company may choose to repair hardware or software either in-situ at
the Customer'spremises or collect the equipment for further diagnostic
work taking place in our offices/workshops, at the Company's discretion.
Should it be necessary in the Company's opinion for equipment be
collected for specialist work, such as hardware repair/upgrade or
connection to our LAN, the Customer agrees that it may be worked on in
our workshop where it will be covered by our office contents insurance
policy up to a maximum value of ?1,000.
The Company may require access to the Customer's premises to perform
the work and this may be for a number of hours or days. The Customer
agrees to have all necessary access, security clearance and insurance
(e.g. public liability cover) in place to facilitate this, in advance of and
during the complete duration of the work and to comply with any request or
instruction issued by the engineer relating to the equipment or work.
Should an engineer attend the Customer's premises, but not be able to
gain access/perform the work due to circumstances not within the
Company's control e.g. locked doors, the callout and any time used will be
chargeable. Should access not be possible for 15 minutes, the engineer
may be reallocated to another customer and the appointment rescheduled.
Timescale
The Company aims to provide an accurate resolution timescale however
unforeseen problems, project creep and additional customer requirements
may extend the time required to complete the work.

Data and backups:
The Company aims to always do everything in its power to safeguard
and/or recover data from Customer IT equipment. However, it is the
Customer's responsibility to ensure that they keep at least two current
backups which provide the Customer with all necessary information to
restore their data should a total loss occur. This applies both to their
internal IT / PC systems as well as their web site data / online shop
orders.
Prior to work commencing either on or off site, the Customer agrees that
they have performed a full backup which has been verified and is
accessible should data need to be restored.
The Company shall not be required to work on any of the following
systems and by using these Services the Customer agrees that the IT
equipment is not used for any of the following purposes:
1) Medical, healthcare or other system where injury or death to a
person may occur as a result of changes to the IT system.
2) Financial or live trading systems where significant/cumulative
financial loss may occur as a result of changes to the IT
system.
3) Oil or petrochemical related industry
4) Mission-critical systems
5) Chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear industries
6) Any location or industry where a risk may be present to any of
our staff.

The Customer agrees that in the course of resolving problems, repairing
PCs or otherwise investigating your issue, it may sometimes be
necessary for a complete system shutdown or reinstallation of the
hardware or software to occur. It is possible, this may result in the hard
disc drive(s) being erased and all data being permanently destroyed. In
such event, the Company aims to inform the Customer (where possible)
prior to this being done. The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company in that such event and also agrees that the
Company is not liable for loss of business, consequential, direct or
indirect losses such as profits, or valuable information directly or
indirectly as a result of loss of data, information or system performance.
Where a server, network or PC has been configured with a backup
solution, it is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that they act to
safeguard their own data. Any automated backup facility is provided for
the client's convenience. It may be necessary for customers to start,
stop, reconfigure or respond to the backup software / tape media or other
necessary components from time to time and it will not be the
Company's responsibility to do this.
Tape media will need periodic replacement to operate efficiently.

Electrical safety:
Dependent on the Customer's industry, it may be a requirement for any
equipment in use in the Customer's premises to be safety tested
annually or after another period of time. This sometimes includes for
example, care homes, hotels, schools etc. The Company will not
undertake to do this work and it is the Customer's sole responsibility to
organise electrical checks in accordance with all of their other electrical
appliances should it be required. It is the Customer's responsibility to
ensure that all equipment is located safely on their premises and
checked for electrical safety for the safety of themselves and our
staff/engineers.
Support/Retainer contracts:
In the case of support contracts, the Company aims to monitor proactively
and respond re-actively to Customer's IT needs and provide an
included time allowance for this on a monthly or annual payment basis.
The support covers the time (only) for: Hardware repairs, software
configuration, technical support advice to the Customer, internet access
and MS Office queries as well as any industry standard Microsoft
software within the competency of the Company's staff. It does not cover
support which is delivered from a third party such as the Customer's
broadband provider, or bespoke/customised/specialist or non-Microsoft
software used by the Customer.
The Company aims in the case of support/retainer contracts to provide
the Customer with a priority appointment in the event that one is
required.
Where time is included, unused time from one month can be carried
forward at the Company's discretion one or two months dependent on
the contract type in operation. However, after this time, all unused time is
lost and cannot be refunded, replaced or used.
Travel costs are not included in retainer/support contracts and the time
may be used on or off site for any mutually agreed purpose within the
Company's IT service range/staff competencies.
Cancellation requires a minimum of three month's notice. Should
payment not be received the service will be immediately cancelled and
any payments that have been received to date are forfeited.

have the same meaning as given in the Company's standard terms and
conditions of sale.

the Company to the Customer.
The Services may be delivered by a carefully chosen partner of the
Company. Where the Company delivers the Services through a carefully
chosen partner the terms and conditions of service of such partner shall
form part of the agreement between the Company and the Customer.
In some instances the Company offers unlimited use of the Services
and unlimited use in this context means that the Services must be
used in a fair and reasonable manner, in the opinion of the Company,
which is not detrimental to the operation of the Company or its
staff/customers/services. To facilitate this the Company or its partner(s)
may maintain very large ratios of bandwidth and disc space per
customer. In rare cases, the Company or its partners may find a
customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she
may jeopardize server performance and resources for other customers.
In such instances, the Company and its partners reserve the right to
impose the High Resource User Policy for the consideration of all
customers and/or immediately suspend or cancel all or some of the
Services the Company provides to the Customer.
The Company or its partners may implement the following policy at their
or its partners' sole discretion:
When a website is found to be monopolising the resources available the
Company and its partners reserve the right to suspend delivery /
provision of the Services immediately and without prior notice. This
policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to
prevent the misuse of the Services.
Resources Use: The Customer agrees to use any resources such as
web space, bandwidth, FTP / E-Mail, domain names (intangible) and
any tangible or other asset(s) etc. provided to him/her for the agreed
reason only and not for any other use. All use will be minimised as far
as possible and a full account of resource usage provided upon request
in a timely manner.
Communication, data and use of services.
The Company may listen to, monitor, intercept and/or block, disable, or
destroy any communication at any time without notice in accordance
with the law and its data protection / information security policy if the
Company believes a breach of policy, contract or this agreement has or
is likely to occur, or if the Company believes the use is immoral, unjust,
illegal, pornographic or defamatory or extends beyond reasonable use
of the Services.
Data storage, collection, and data protection (e.g. from hosting
services.)
The Customer agrees to keep backups of all data they may add to their webspace.
It will be the Customer's sole responsibility to do this.
The Company may reasonably decide to remove/delete/destroy at any
time any data/information held by it without notification/disclosing the
reason if the Company believes it to be in breach of any part of its data
protection policy, this agreement, is morally or otherwise undesirable to
the Company without notice, whether that information is related to a
project or is personal. For example hosting of personal web site files /
documents.
Customer information may be stored/kept on file electronically in
accordance with the data protection act and the Company's policy,
registration and legislation for example for the purposes of staff
administration, investigation or other requirements by the Company or
an outside official agency.
Information on web site traffic, statistics, usage and bandwidth may be
stored analysed and used for marketing purposes by the Company.
Domain name registration:

Domain names are registered in good faith and it is the Customer's sole
responsibility to check for copyright or other intellectual property
infringement.
Should a domain name be decided, specified or agreed it will then be
checked for availability. Such availability is not within the Company's
control and the Customer cannot be sure of effective registration until a
confirmation is received by the appropriate naming authority and paid for
in full.
All domain names are registered for a period of one year and will renew
annually.
Should payment not be received the domain name will be cancelled and
will become available for registration. The Company may also choose to
exercise its right to retain ownership of any domain name(s) that remain
unpaid and either sell or rent these domain name(s) to any other person
or company.
Should the Customer not confirm that that they wish to renew the domain
name 28 days prior to each anniversary of registration, or be unavailable
to respond to the Company about this, the domain name will expire and
will become available for registration.
All domain names are registered directly with the registry and the registry
may choose to decline registration of a name, or others may object. Such
issues are directly between the Customer and the individual or
organisation who challenges the registration.
Certain domain names have restrictions and pre-requisites. It is the
Customer's sole responsibility to check these and ensure they meet the
criteria.

Web space type/platform:
The Customer may choose from Unix (Linux) or Windows hosting.
Items such as .NET, red hat variants etc. may incur an additional charge.
It may be possible to change platform during the term of the agreement
between the Company and the Customer but the Company will be under
no obligation to do so when requested by the Customer and an additional
fee may be charged. If no preference is specified the Company will
usually provide Linux Unix hosting.

E-Mail / Spam
If the Company provides e-mail services to the Customer, such E-Mail
use is limited to 1000MB storage for standard IMAP/POP3 e-mail accounts (except
advanced hosted email accounts where the use is limited to 25000MB).
SMTP outgoing mail server access is provided only for customers using
our dial-up / broadband services and only for E-Mail addresses / accounts
the Company approves in advance.
It is the Customer's responsibility to arrange for SMTP mail with their ISP
if they are not using our internet access services.
Any customer found to be sending unsolicited mail (spam) or in the
opinion of the Company is not making a fair and legitimate use of the
Services will have the relevant Services immediately suspended /
cancelled without refund or notice.
Spam/Virus filtering:
The Company offers this service upon request for an additional fee to
customers who would like their incoming mail scanned for viruses and
spam/junk mail prior to it being delivered to their E-Mail box. This can
often significantly reduce junk mail sent to the Customer from third party
senders.
Please be advised that this Service is provided in good faith. This Service
may delete mail which is legitimate as well as junk as it is not 100%
accurate. The Customer agrees to inform the Company of any white list
or approved / blocked senders in advance to prevent this and the
Company cannot be liable should messages be deleted by the system in
error.

Storage of data
No data the Customer stores on its systems can be adult/pornographic in nature, illegal, illicit, immoral, copyright infringing, defamatory or otherwise undesirable in the opinion of the company or a third party.
Where a hosting space is quoted, this space includes statistics gathered for the Customer and is of the size quoted. The size is in Gigabytes where 1 GB = 1,024 MB.

Email Passwords
Passwords for email accounts should be kept securely by the Customer. It is not the Company's responsibility to keep records of such information.
