Incremental Support Information |
TiBS
customers, who do not have a maintenance plan or need extended
coverage, may contact Teradactyl technical support engineers
via telephone or e-mail on an incremental support basis. Incremental
support units are purchased on an as-needed basis. Incremental support prices are grouped into three categories.
There is no charge for incremental support if the problem is
determined to be a bug.

Scheduled Incremental Support |
If you require additional support
during certain times of the day or week (even off hours) and know
in advance, scheduled support units may be just what you need.
Perfect for system upgrades and migration to new platforms. Customers
with an annual maintenance agreement that does not cover the time that you wish to schedule, can
contact Teradactyl technical support engineers by purchasing Scheduled
Support Units.
Units are reserved in eight (8) hour
increments. The customer purchases scheduled support blocks for
a $100.00 non-refundable fee. This fee provides for one (1) hour
response time during the reserved time window and includes one
(1) free hour of technical support with each block purchased.
Additional hours of technical support within the scheduled time
can be purchased at $100.00 per hour billed in fifteen (15) minute
increments. Additional scheduled support blocks can be purchased
to further extend standby coverage. This program is available
at any time including weekends and Teradactyl recognized holidays.
This program offers significant savings over Unscheduled Incremental
Support Units and may be a cost effective alternative to a plan
upgrade. These hours must be reserved at least two weeks prior
to scheduled coverage.

| Anytime Support |
If your business is seasonal, you require
around-the-clock support during peak times of the year, or want to
extend the protection of your Standard, Silver, Gold, or Partner Maintenance
Plans*, Anytime coverage can help you through these times. This program
is only available to customers with a maintenance plan. These customers
can contact Teradactyl technical support engineers outside of plan
hours by purchasing Anytime Support Units. This program is generally available
at any time including weekends and Teradactyl recognized holidays.
The targeted initial response time for Anytime Support Units are listed
below. The price for Anytime Support Units is $400.00 per hour billed
in fifteen (15) minute increments with a $400.00 minimum.
Teradactyl makes every effort to meet the off hour customer needs
("Anytime Support") but availability is not guaranteed outside
of maintenance plan hours unless scheduled support units are purchased.
If 24 Hour support, Monday through Friday (excluding weekends and
Teradactyl Holidays) requires a service level guarantee, Gold Maintenance
should be purchased. If your organization requires a service level
guarantee on a continuous basis, e.g. 24 Hour support, seven days
a week including Teradactyl Holidays, our Platinum Maintenance Plan
should be purchased. The Gold and Platinum Maintenance programs include
call center infrastructure to meet service level guarantee requirements. Please contact
Teradactyl or your authorized sales representative for more information. |

Software Maintenance Plans for the True incremental Backup System
are based on a percentage of the total product purchase price. For
an entity to participate in any Teradactyl Software Maintenance
Plan, each licensed department, site, or campus which deploys a
TiBS server within that entity will automatically be charged standard
maintenance fees unless the entity desires to place the entire organization
on a platinum maintenance plan. If the entity elects to purchase
a Platinum Maintenance plan for the entire organization, the entity
will automatically be billed at those rates for annual maintenance
charges corresponding to the total sum of all purchases multiplied
by 30%. Software purchased between maintenance billing cycles can
have the associated maintenance fees prorated to match renewal dates
with the existing support contracts.
In
most instances, an entity will elect to maintain a Standard, Silver,
or Gold maintenance plan for each Department within the organization
that has deployed one or more TiBS Backup Servers. This structure
provides each department with a designated number of support contacts
(depending on the level of support for the plan) and permits individual
departments to increase availability to Teradactyl support resources
as required by their specific operating needs without obligating
other licensed members within the entity to maintain the same contractual
support level. Each support plan has a specified minimum annual
contract price to cover our necessary infrastructure costs. The
minimum contract prices are as follows:
Standard Maintenance Plan: $750 USD minimum annually
Silver Maintenance Plan: $5,000 USD minimum annually
Gold Maintenance Plan: $15,000 USD minimum annually
Platinum Maintenance Plan: $45,000 USD minimum annually |
| **
Teradactyl company holidays are excluded except
for Platinum Maintenance customers. Teradactyl observes approximately
eight (8) holidays in a calendar year. These holidays are posted in
advance. Upcoming dates can be found in the support section of our
web site. |

Teradactyl makes every effort to meet the off hour customer needs
("Anytime Support") but availability is not guaranteed outside

If 24 Hour support, Monday through Friday (excluding weekends and

should be purchased. The Gold and Platinum Maintenance programs include
call center infrastructure to meet service level guarantee requirements. |
| Teradactyl reserves the right to refuse to sell any of these incremental support services at any time and for any reason. Non payment or late payments of invoices may disqualify a customer from being able to access these services. All decisions by Teradactyl are final. |
