SOFTWARE UPDATE SERVICE AGREEMENT

  1. Ashling customers may purchase an optional Software Update Service Agreement for periods of 1 year, subject to the additional conditions set down below.
  2. The Software Update Service includes standard upgrades to correct software defects and replacement of faulty program disks supplied by Ashling, where the defect is caused by Ashling's workmanship or by defective materials.
  3. The Software Update Service Agreement entitles the holder to automatic updates, free of charge, including all software performance improvements, all enhancements to existing features and all additions of new features that are made to the product covered by the Agreement. New features which enter the Ashling Product Catalogue as separately priced products are not included.
  4. The Software Update Service includes the supply of Application Notes, Newsletters and telephone application support. The agreement further entitles the holder to submit formal requests to Ashling for change and improvements to those products covered by this agreement. Ashling undertakes to evaluate such changes and if so requested, to quote for their implementation where it is deemed to be feasible.
  5. All Ashling software products are covered by copyright vested in Ashling. Customers may duplicate Ashling's software for backup purposes only. Unauthorised copying of Ashling software violates Ashling's copyright and voids the customer's Software Update Service Agreement.
  6. The cost of the Software Update Service Agreement is 30% of the current list price of each of the products to be covered, (excluding VAT and shipping costs etc.) a quotation is available from your nearest Ashling office or distributor.

    Please note that where your previous period of Warranty or Software Update Service cover has been allowed to lapse you will be required to pay an additional 10% discontinuity fee or you may choose to have your new agreement backdated to the expiry date of your previous cover.
  7. 6. Ashling's liability under this agreement is limited to the repair or replacement of the Ashling product, whichever is appropriate. Ashling is not responsible for any loss of profits, loss of use, interruption of business, nor for indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind whether under this agreement or otherwise.
