American Business Software will provide staff training, telephone support and Internet-based support as requested from time-to-time by Client at the American Business Software hourly rate in effect the service is requested, as long as such support is reasonably available, as determined by American Business Software.
A Phone Support Session is defined as a 15 minute period. Phone Consultation Sessions will be rounded up to the nearest whole 15 minute period. Phone Support Sessions lasting more than 15 minutes will be counted as multiple Phone Support Sessions. American Business Software reserves the right to limit each telephone call to one hour and to limit each call to one incident. American Business Software may also limit or terminate support service to a client who uses the service in an irregular, excessive, abusive or fraudulent manner. Support terms, conditions, support features, procedures, pricing and support availability are subject to change at any time without notice. Coverage is non-transferable and is valid for the individual purchaser only. Phone Support is available only to end users.
Prepaid support time must be used within 12 months from the date of prepayment. Service availability may occasionally deviate from stated business hours due to downtime for systems and server maintenance and observed U.S. holidays.
Inquires are limited to the following American Business Software product areas: installation, upgrade assistance, basic usability and basic functionality, as described in American Business Software product documentation. Phone Support does not cover inquires on accounting practices or include application consulting or training. American Business Software cannot provide clients with accounting advice, input entire customer, vendor or item lists, input historical transactions or perform data recovery. American Business Software does not provide technical support or troubleshoot systems. Calls will be scheduled during normal business hours.
American Business Software offers products and services to Client, including Application Setup, Design, Development, Modifications, Training and Support Services. American Business Software will work together with Client to reach operational status as quickly as possible under all of the circumstances. Client realizes that, depending on the nature of the work which needs to be done and the availability of hardware and other resources, in some situations it could conceivably take several months to reach full operational status. Also, Client realizes that for many factors outside American Business Software?s control, it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict how long it will take to become operational for any particular Client.
American Business Software will provide these services on an hourly basis, plus expenses. Client realizes that, depending on a variety of circumstances, the total cost for the services required to reach fully operational status can reach, or even exceed, the license fee of the software products.
Although sales quotes and estimates can often provide some guidance when budgeting for a particular project, those sales quotes and estimates should not, and cannot, be viewed as establishing specific limits on the overall cost of any particular project. Establishing budgetary limitations is the sole responsibility of Client, and American Business Software will not be bound by any self-imposed limitation established by a client unless such limitation is specifically agreed to in writing and signed by an authorized representative of American Business Software.
Any license fees payable for the services shall be the price in effect at the time the services are ordered. American Business Software shall be entitled to change the license fees and price of the services without notice to Client. The fees payable for Services are billed on an hourly basis for time spent on the client`s behalf at the rate currently in effect. American Business Software bills per hour or part thereof during business hours, plus time and a half for evenings and weekends. American Business Software hourly rates are subject to change without notice. All costs, plus a markup, incurred in performing the proposed services or for third party products or services are in addition to fees. Any costs advanced will be included in the invoice. In addition to the license fees payable for the Services, Client shall bear and pay all related costs for shipping, taxes, and handling. With approved credit, all license fees and other amounts shall be due and payable as specified in the American Business Software notice of credit approval. Otherwise, all amounts payable under this Agreement are due at the time each order is placed by Client. Client agrees to pay interest on past due balances at the rate of the lesser of 1.5% per month together or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law with necessary collection charges. All returned third party products are subject to a 25% restocking charge and must be authorized by American Business Software prior to return. NO RETURNS ARE ALLOWED ON THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED UNDER THE AMERICAN BUSINESS SOFTWARE REFUND AGREEMENT SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF AMERICAN BUSINESS SOFTWARE AND CLIENT.

The mediation shall consist of a single mediator to be agreed upon by the parties. The mediator must have a background in computer software engineering and a working knowledge concerning the general type of software or website functionality at issue. In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute in informal mediation, the matter must then be submitted to an independent, unbiased, expert with a background in computer software engineering and a working knowledge concerning the general type of software or website functionality at issue. If either party is dissatisfied with the recommendations for resolution provided by that expert, such party may then, and only then, pursue whatever other remedies may then be available to that party.
Except as provided elsewhere in this agreement, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement not otherwise resolved through mediation, or through discussions with said expert, shall be decided by arbitration. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language, in-person and shall take place in Albany, Oregon. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator to be agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator must have a background in computer software engineering and a working knowledge concerning the general type of software or website functionality at issue. Any party intending to initiate an arbitration proceeding shall notify the other party of such intention by sending a demand for arbitration to the other party by certified mail, return receipt requested, describing the matter in dispute and the nature of the relief requested. The arbitrator shall resolve disputes in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon and shall have the power to order, among other things, specific performance and injunctive relief. The arbitrator, however, shall not have the power to award punitive damages. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this agreement shall be completed within a period of ninety (90) days after the date either party hereto receives from the other a written demand for arbitration. The fees of the arbitrator and the expenses incident to any arbitration proceedings conducted pursuant to this agreement shall be borne equally by the parties to such arbitration. All other expenses, including a party`s attorney fees, shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses.
