Legal Notices
* 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: $25,000 USD minimum annually
- Platinum Maintenance Plan: $75,000 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 of maintenance plan hours unless scheduled support units are purchased. If 24 Hour support, Monday through Friday (excluding weekends and Teradactyl Holidays) require 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.
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.
