Corrective Maintenance/Ad-Hoc

Corrective Maintenance ‘ whereby NOYTECH staff correct a system defect that is precluding normal operation of the system. This support can be
provided in one of two ways:

(i) Phone/Email/Remote Assistance ‘ Remote assistance is where NOYTECH staff addresses Client queries over the phone, via Email or by Remote
Desktop Support.

(ii) On-Site Assistance ‘ Where immediate assistance is required by Client, but not during the time of the proactive support visit. In some cases, the
scope of assistance may be within those normally associated with proactive support visits, but the assistance must be provided immediately.

The response associated with a particular call is defined by the priority associated with the call. The client designates the property of the call at the
time of making the call. These priorities are defined as:

High Priority: If the problem cannot be resolved remotely, it is escalated to an appropriate Engineer who will be on-site within 4 hours. This category
of call attracts a premium cost as defined in the schedule of costs, and a minimum 2 hour charge may apply with any additional time charged in 1-
hour increments. Charging will include travel-time.

Normal Priority: If the problem cannot be resolved remotely, it is escalated to an appropriate Engineer who will be on-site at the next available time as
agreed to by both parties. This category of call attracts a standard cost as defined in the schedule of costs.

Low Priority: If the problem cannot be resolved remotely, the problem will be attended to during the next scheduled visit. This category of call attracts
a standard consultant cost as defined in the Fee Schedule.

 

Defined Tasks

These are tasks that are of significant scope and cannot be accommodated within the regular maintenance schedule. These tasks will be clearly
defined, the duration and cost estimated and the cost agreed between NOYTECH and Client prior to commencement of the task. The cost for
provision of these services will be based on the level of resources required and follow the agreed cost schedule. The tasks can include infrastructure
and/or application requirements including tasks such as system upgrades, server installation, peripheral upgrade, website design and development
and database design and development.
