Dentek has the right to assign, subcontract, or delegate in whole or in part this Agreement, or any rights, duties, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, provided that Dentek shall remain responsible for the performance of Services under this Agreement. Otherwise, neither party may assign this Agreement without the permission of the other.

Support Services Specific –
1. Availability of Support Services:
Dentek’s PC support services, network technical support services and products (collectively, the “Support Services”) are available only to the registered company (“Customer”) for the one (1) or more computer systems/network devices registered (each, a “Customer System”) with Dentek under Total Care, Managed Care, Remote Care, Data Backup, or Fee for Service Plan (each, “Support Plan”).
2. Term of Agreement:
The term of Support Services is one (1) year from the date of signing. At the end of the Agreement term, the Agreement will automatically renew for an equal term at the then current published rates, unless otherwise agreed to by both parties in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Agreement term.
3. On-Boarding/Discovery Period:
Upon signing up for Dentek’s Service Support Contract, Dentek reserves the right to charge hourly rate(s) or flat fee disclosed in the quote or shown in Appendix B. During the “On-Boarding/Discovery Period”, Dentek will gain an understanding of how the Customer’s network and workstations are provisioned. After the “On-Boarding/Discovery Period”, normal support plans will apply to service requests.
4. Supported Technologies:
Support Services include remote and onsite technical support for the following platforms, devices, operating systems, and other items listed in the Appendix: A section of this document. As new computer technology becomes generally available, Dentek will use its best efforts to support such technology, as well.
5. Dentek’s Responsibilities:
Dentek will use its best efforts, as measured by the standards of what is commercially reasonable, to resolve the Customer’s basic computer technical problems for a Customer System. Dentek will attempt to resolve such technical problems in a professional, reasonable and timely manner, taking into consideration the circumstances and nature of the technical problems. Resolution times may be delayed due to research and inquiries, as may be necessary. Technical problems that may arise may be a result of software or hardware errors or problems that may not be correctable. Dentek has limited proprietary information from vendors, manufacturers, and developers, and may not have the ability to obtain any proprietary information necessary to resolve the Customer’s technical issue.
6. Customer’s Responsibilities:
Customer is responsible for providing Dentek with complete information concerning each Customer System. Prior to seeking technical support, Customer is solely responsible for adequate protection and backup of Customer’s data, software and/or hardware. Customer understands and acknowledges that Dentek shall not be responsible for any lost data, re-run time, inaccurate output, or work delays resulting from any technical support services, other services, or products provided by Dentek.
7. No Warranties:
DENTEK’S SUPPORT SERVICES, AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION, DOCUMENTS, PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE, DOWNLOADS, REPAIR SERVICES, ADVICE, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY DENTEK ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. DENTEK ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ERRORS, OMISSIONS OR OTHER INADEQUACIES IN THE SUPPORT SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION, DOCUMENTS, PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE, DOWNLOADS, REPAIR SERVICES, ADVICE, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY DENTEK.
8. Repair Service & Parts Replacement:
Onsite Repair Services provided under the appropriate support plan shall be available to Customer. Additional fees for necessary replacement parts or services will apply subject to Customer approval. Support Services must be called in between the hours of 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. to receive respective response service. Any emergency services provided for remote or on-site support received after 5 p.m., or any services not covered by the scope of your corresponding support plan will be billable at the hourly rates outlined in the Appendix B section of this document. Dentek makes no representation nor does it guarantee exact replacement parts.
9. Fair Usage Policy; Suspension or Termination of Support Plans:
Though Dentek has set no fixed upper limit on the number of support requests a Customer may make annually, each Customer’s use of the Support Plan is subject to Dentek’s “fair use” policy. Under this policy, if at any time, in Dentek’s sole discretion, Customer’s use exceeds the level of use reasonably expected from someone using a Support Plan, then Dentek reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s Support Plan. In addition, Dentek reserves the right to suspend or terminate any Support Plan(s) for any Customer that Dentek, in its sole discretion, determines is being used (a) fraudulently, (b) by any person other than Customer, or (c) for any computer system other than a Customer System.
10. Data Backup – Dentek Responsibilities:
Dentek will first perform a complete initial full backup of Customer’s data. Incremental backups are then set to run on a daily scheduled basis and consolidations according to Dentek’s data backup service. Dentek will work to provide the successful and timely back up and restoration of all Customer data that it provides backup services for. Upon notice to Dentek of a failed backup from a source other than notice provided by Customer, Dentek will notify customer of any failed operations if resolution cannot be found. Dentek will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet the minimum service levels and targets set out in the Agreement. However, because of the technical limitations regarding backups on live servers and the possibility of data corruption, if data has changed since the time Dentek performed a backup, or that the data was not in a usable state at the time Dentek performed a given backup, Dentek, in no way, guarantees the usability of any data from any given backup set.
11. Data Backup – Customer Responsibilities
a. Compliance with Applicable Laws. Use of the data backup service (including the transmission of any data you choose to back up through the data backup service) is subject to all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations. You agree to comply with such applicable laws and regulations and not to (i) use the service for illegal purposes, (ii) transmit or store material that may infringe the intellectual property rights or other rights of third parties or that is illegal, tortious, defamatory, libelous, or invasive of another’s privacy; (iii) transmit or store data belonging to another party without first obtaining all consents required by law from the data owner for transmission of the data to Dentek for storage within the United States; or (iv) transmit any material that contains software viruses or other harmful computer code, files or programs such as trojan horses, worms or malware.
b. Customer is solely responsible for the cost of acquiring and acts necessary to maintain its own hardware, software, networking and related systems necessary for uninterrupted successful data transfer. A 1 M.B. upload speed is the minimum requirement for the standard data backup service. Dentek is not responsible for ensuring the continued operations of customer’s hardware during the scheduled backups, functioning of data lines, failure of the customer to obtain or maintain adequate bandwidth speed, nor the reliability of the data files being received over them when a backup is running.
c. Data which Customer requires backed up must be selected and available for backup. The backup service will only backup data selected for backup. At the time of the initial full backup, Dentek will work with Customer to select files containing data Customer requests be backed-up. Customer acknowledges that in circumstances where Customer, its employees, or any party with access to Customer’s computer network i) marks a file to no longer be backed-up, ii) deletes a file from folders designated for backup, iii) moves a file to a location on Customer’s computer network that is not marked for back-up, iv) deletes a computer from Customer’s network, v) network is unable to access the internet, or vi) Customer terminates, non-renews, or otherwise lapses service with Dentek for any reason, that the files marked, deleted, moved or stored on a deleted, inaccessible, or unlicensed computer may not be available to Customer should Customer wish to restore them.
d. Customer is expected to monitor the success or failure of its backups on a daily basis. Occurrences that may cause data loss include, but are not limited to demagnetization of data media due to aging or unsuitable environmental conditions, interference of data media by extraneous magnetic fields, destruction of data media by force majeure, e.g. fire or water, inadvertent deletion or overwriting of files, technical failure of storage device, faulty data media, uncontrolled changes in stored data, deliberate or accidental deletion or corruption of files, and computer-viruses. In order to minimize any potential loss or corruption of this data, Customer should ensure that data is adequately backed up. On daily basis, logged information generated from each backup job should be reviewed, to check for and correct errors. Dentek should be notified immediately if Customer discovers a backup has failed, even if the backup is later successful for Customer after a failed attempt.
e. Customer is responsible for integrity of data targeted for back up by Dentek. Dentek backs up data “as is, where is” and will restore data in the same format in which it is back up. (Example: corrupted data will get backed up and restored in the same state. Incremental daily backups are done to allow customers to restore data to a “good” state, but assume that Customer’s data was in a “good” state when backed up.)
12. Data Backup – Data Retention
Upon any non-renewal or termination, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Dentek’s policy is to automatically delete all of Customer’s backed up data from Dentek’s servers and/or third-party servers used by Dentek upon non-renewal or termination within fourteen (14) days of the notice of termination, and that it is solely Customer’s responsibility to seek another source for backup needs.
13. Data Backup – Exclusive Remedy
Because of the nature of data backup services rendered, it is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, which may result from failure on the part of Dentek to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement. Customer does not desire this agreement to provide full liability for loss, damage or injury due directly or indirectly to occurrences, consequences there from, which the service or system is designed to deter or avert. In the event Dentek should be found liable for loss, damage or injury due to a failure of the equipment or services provided under this agreement or the equipment in any respect, its liability shall be limited up to $250.00 as the agreed upon liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Such liquidated damages is the exclusive remedy for any failure of services or equipment, and the provisions of this paragraph shall apply if loss, damage or injury, irrespective of cause or origin, results directly or indirectly to a person or property from the performance or nonperformance of any obligation of Dentek from negligence, active or otherwise, Dentek, its agents or employees. It is intended and expressly agreed that the purpose of the preceding provisions are to set an upper limit to the amount recoverable by Customer and to fix liability of Dentek at a specific sum of no more than $250.00. If Customer desires additional liability coverage, it shall be his/her responsibility to secure it from an insurance carrier or other agency of his choice, at his/her own expense.
14. The Effect of Termination:
(a) If either party terminates this Agreement as permitted in General – Events of Default, the following stipulations are agreed upon: (1) the party who is in material breach of the Agreement shall pay to the non-defaulting party all sums due under the Agreement.

(b) If the Customer terminates the Agreement prior to the end of the Agreement Term stated herein (“Early Termination”),
(c) Customer shall be charged a penalty and agrees to pay Three Hundred Dollars ($300) (“Early Termination Penalty”).
(d) Early Termination Penalty will decrease by $25.00 per month until Agreement is completed.

(f) All other remedies shall be set out in accordance with Texas law are applicable to both parties;
(g) Subject to the above provisions, termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the parties and is without liability for any loss or damage occasioned by the termination. Termination of this Agreement does not release either party from any liability which, at the time of termination, has already accrued to the other party, or which may accrue as a result of any act or omission prior to termination or from any obligation which is expressly stated to survive the termination.
15. The Process of Termination:

A party having the right to terminate this Agreement may exercise such right by giving the other party a thirty (30) days’ written notice stating the Agreement is terminated as of the later of the date of the notice or the permitted termination date;
(b) Termination by Customer for cause: Customer may terminate the Agreement if Dentek: (1) Persistently disregards laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction; or (2) Otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a material provision of the Agreement.

6. Software – Impact of Upgrades:
Please be advised that it is Customer’s responsibility to understand the impact of upgrades to the operating system, applications and utility software. Such upgrades can lead to incompatibilities and the possible loss of data. Computer hardware and software work together and incompatibility may not become apparent until a later date. Customer is responsible for contacting the manufacturer of any software regarding compatibility issues before Customer requests any upgrades to be completed by Dentek.
7. Backup Systems:
It is Customer’s responsibility to backup all existing data, software, and programs before and after receiving services or support (including remote support).
