Technical
Support.
datah.com will provide technical support consulting services via helpdesk,
electronic mail ("e-mail") and facsimile to assist in verifying the account
features of datah.com's intended functionality of the Customer's server
and hosting Service ("Technical Support"). The account features include
various products produced by third party vendors. The Technical Support
staff can assist with the setup and configuration of the server and third
party products; however, the usability, custom configurations, coding
and troubleshooting fall under the support offerings of the third party
vendor so Technical Support will be unable to assist with the aforementioned
offerings.
Technical Support does not serve as a consultant to correct and rewrite
programming code and scripting-related issues. Only datah.com-created
Services and non-Customer configured Services will be supported to this
extent. No e-mails from datah.com, including Technical Support e-mail,
may be resent, distributed or posted on any media accessible to the
public (including, but not limited to, any Internet site or bulletin
board) by Customer, without datah.com's prior written consent. Technical
Support shall consist only of the consulting services set forth above,
and in no event shall it include any other support functions or Services,
including, but not limited to, maintenance or repair of Customer's hardware
or custom configurations to the server. Technical Support will be provided
only to either Customer or Customer's technical or administrative contact.
If Customer requires technical assistance beyond the conditions set
forth above and datah.com determines that it has the technical resources
for assistance, Customer shall be charged at datah.com's standard hourly
rate. The hourly rate will be applied to Services not designated as
Technical Support, as defined above, or for any Technical Support provided
to someone other than Customer or Customer's technical or administrative
contact. Prior to requesting support services from datah.com, Customer
or Customer's technical contact agrees to ask datah.com's Technical
Support personnel if the requested support services qualify as Technical
Support.
Technical Support hours are 24 hours each day, except on nationally
observed holidays, Christmas Eve, during departmental meetings, or when
no, or limited support hours may be provided, of which Customer will
be notified in advance. Technical Support hours are subject to change.
