Maintenance Service - Definition 1.1 Routine maintenance and periodic inspection shall be performed in accordance with Centrix s current procedures and the manufacturer s recommendations, as appropriate. 1.2 All faults on the System resulting from fair wear and tear shall be corrected in accordance with the appropriate Class of Service. Centrix shall use all reasonable endeavours to respond, including by remote means and by providing advice, within the time associated with the Class of Service/Maintenance Service Matrix specified on page 3. Following such response, Centrix shall provide a solution to faults on the system without unreasonable delay, by assisting the Customer by providing advice, implementing remedial action through remote means, or arranging for a replacement of all or part of the System with repaired equipment, delivered to the Customer without a visit by Centrix engineer if such equipment is suitable for fitment by the Customer. 1.3 Where replacement parts are provided by Centrix, the parts removed shall become the property of Centrix. Where the cause of equipment failure has been diagnosed as lightning damage, fire or flood, Centrix shall hold the faulty items in storage for a period of three months. 1.4 Where the cause of a problem with the System is proved to be a System software fault, Centrix will install a patch fix or implement an avoidance procedure. 1.5 Centrix may, at any time, substitute a later release of System software which will incorporate corrections in lieu of patch fixes on earlier releases. Later releases providing unchanged features and facilities shall be provided free of charge. 1.6 If the Customer requests Centrix to incorporate new features and/or facilities, a charge shall be made based on the licence fee for the new release. 1.7 Any modifications or additions to the System necessary to provide compatibility with a later release of System software shall be undertaken by Centrix and a charge made based on the equipment supplied and the work completed. If reconfiguration implementation and associated work is required, a charge will also be made on the same basis. 1.8 Later releases of System software may create differences due to changes in features and facilities available and Centrix shall use all reasonable endeavours to minimise such differences and to advise the Customer of known differences prior to implementation. In no event shall Centrix be held responsible for operational difficulties caused by the integration of later releases of System software with third party supplied equipment. 1.9 Replacement System software is provided under a non-exclusive and non-transferable licence for use with the System and only for the purpose for which System software is supplied. 1.10 Centrix shall undertake the repair of wiring connected to the Call Routing Apparatus, and the repair or replacement of equipment relating to standby power supplies including rectifiers, batteries and Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations as appropriate, at additional charge to the Customer. 1.11 If so requested by the Customer, Centrix shall provide service outside the Customer s Service hours at additional charge, either by continuing work beyond the Customer s Service hours or by commencing work outside such hours. 1.12 Where the Customer requires Centrix to respond to a report relating to a fault which is known not to be included in the Charge at the time of reporting, Centrix shall provide the service as described as Standard 5 Service on page 3.
