After that, priority is given to those calls logged via email. We reserves the right to limit each telephone call to half an hour and to limit each call to one incident, which is defined as a single support issue or question.
SERVICES AVAILABILITY
Service availability may occasionally deviate from stated hours due to downtime for systems and server maintenance and observed Indian public holidays. efficaciousSolutions cannot guarantee that you will not experience some delay in having one of our technical support consultants answer your query - as call volumes fluctuate so response time will also fluctuate.
UPDATES AND UPGRADES
Your Annual Maintenance agreement entitles you to any updates without charge, if such updates become available during the term of your subscription. efficaciousSolutions does not warrant that there will be any updates to efficaciousSolutions 's software during the maintenance term. Upgrades to the latest version are not included under annual maintenance & are chargeable (at a discounted price). Any updates and / or upgrades will be available for download from our website only.
