2.1 Provider shall retain all right and title to any computer programs developed hereunder and shall have the right to incorporate such programs in work for other customers and in its programs generally.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as restraining Provider, its employees, agents, or subcontractors in the use of the techniques and skills of computer programming and design which may be acquired in the course of performance of this Agreement.

3. LIMITATION AND LIABILITY

3.1 In no event shall Provider be liable to the Customer for incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with, the performance or breach of this Agreement (regardless of the form of action) even if Provider has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

3.2 Customer shall at all times indemnify and hold harmless Provider and its officers, employees and agents (“those indemnified”) from and against any loss, including legal costs and expenses, or liability reasonably incurred or suffered by any of those indemnified arising from any proceedings against those indemnified where such a loss was caused by either a breach by Customer of its obligations under this Agreement or any willful, unlawful or negligent act or omission of the Customer.

4. SCOPE AND CONDUCT

The following assumptions are made with respect to scope and conduct of Provider’s activities during the service period:

4.1 Provider’s Service Levels are dependent upon, and assume, that the Customer will assign personnel comprising of key management, user, and technical personnel to interact with the
Provider.

4.2 Customer will ensure that specialised expertise outside the scope of the environment supported by the Provider under this Agreement (e.g. the hardware platform, network administration, and communications facilities) is available, on an as needed basis, to support Provider during the period of the Agreement.

4.3 Specific Provider activities require the input, review, or participation of Customer staff. These typically include (but are not limited to) requirements gathering, scope definition, user acceptance testing and day-to-day interaction. The success of Provider’s deliverables is dependent upon Customer interaction. The Customer will therefore make time available, and provide the Provider’s consultants access to key users and technical personnel within their organisation for this purpose.

4.4 Customer will provide suitable, secure and safe work space for Provider consultants on-site. Resources should include desk, chair, telephone and workstation (with access to the technical environment and internet connectivity) for each Provider consultant. The workstations should have network access to a printer. This helps Provider consultants work efficiently to complete their assigned tasks

4.5 Where Provider is required to work with any EAS Customer certifies that it has a current EAS software license and, support and maintenance agreement.

4.6 Customer will have, and maintain, an operational network with at least the minimum hardware and software required for installation and operation of the EAS licensed products.

4.7 Where Provider is required to work with any relational database or third party software tools, Customer certifies that the relational database and other third party software tools are each the subject of a current software license and maintenance support agreement.

4.8 Customer will be responsible for the installation, configuration, maintenance, and operation of any and all hardware and non EAS required to support the delivery of the services.

4.9 System, server, and workstation backups are the responsibility of the Customer based upon Customer’s disaster recovery policies and procedures. This includes the development and running of the system backups and recovery programs.

4.10 Customer will provide data-quality communications facilities to access the EAS manufacturer’s electronic support service. This will be used by Customer’s staff and Provider, as the need should arise.

4.11 Customer should consult the standard documentation for information regarding the enterprise EAS manufacturer’s product processes, features, functions, and requirements prior to raising a support issue with the Provider.

4.12 Any condition or warranty which would otherwise be implied in the Agreement is hereby excluded except where legislation implies in this Agreement any condition or warranty, and that legislation avoids or prohibit provisions in a contract excluding or modifying the application of or exercise of or liability under such condition or warranty, the condition or warranty shall be deemed to be included in this Agreement. However, the liability of Provider for any breach of such condition or warranty shall be limited, at the option of Provider, to one or more of the following: a) if breach relates to goods: i. the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; ii. the repair of such goods; iii. the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or iv. the payment of the cost of having the goods repaired; and b) if the breach relates to services: i. the supply of the services again; or ii. the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again.
