TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. CONDITIONS
By subscribing to any of the web support and maintenance plans with us (“the account”) you (“the client”) agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions apply to all Pixel Junction web support and maintenance plans. They set out the basis on which we offer our services and should be read carefully.
2. INCIDENT DEFINITION 2.1An incident is defined as a single support issue with a Pixel Junction service and the reasonable effort needed to resolve it. A single support issue is a problem that cannot be broken down into subordinate parts. Pixel Junction, in its sole discretion, will determine what constitutes a support incident. Generally, a support incident is resolved when the client receives one of the following: (a) information that resolves the problem, (b) notice that the problem is caused by a known, unresolved issue or an incompatibility issue, (c) information that identifies the problem as being resolved.
2.2 Under a support plan with a limited number of support hours, each new support incident filed by the client will decrease the remaining number of eligible support time.
2.3 A service plan will run for a term of twelve months from the effective date or until all support hours are used, whichever occurs first. Pixel Junction will not provide support services beyond the end of the service plan unless your service plan is renewed on or before its termination date. Pixel Junction may terminate a service plan at any time (a) if after providing the client no less than fifteen days prior written notice, the client fails to pay fees due for a service plan, or (b) if after providing the client no less than thirty days prior written notice, the cleint fails to cure a breach of these Terms and Conditions.
3. RESPONSE TIME 3.1 Pixel Junction will endeavour to respond to a support incident within a reasonable time but does not guarantee that a response will be provided within a specific time period. All response times are measured in accordance with the service plan’s availability described on the support plan specification.
4. SERVICES 4.1 Pixel Junction reserves the right to amend the support plans provided and/ or support services covered under a support plan, at any time. Pixel Junction will not amend the support plans in a way that (i) reduces the level of effort Pixel Junction provides under the support plan, or (ii) materially impacts Pixel Junction’s obligation to deliver the support plan, or (iii) materially impacts the rights that the client receives under the support plan. For any updates that affect the client’s support plan, Pixel Junction will notify clients of the update via the electronic mail address registered by the client no less than thirty 30 days prior to it taking effect.
5. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY 5.1 The client is responsible for all fees in establishing and maintaining email and telephone communications with Pixel Junction. Clients will cooperate with Pixel Junction when seeking support services by providing information necessary to assist Pixel Junction diagnosing an issue. The client is responsible for any and all restoration or reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs. The client is solely responsible for any and all security of its confidential, proprietary or classified information. The client will not disclose to Pixel Junction confidential, proprietary or any information that is subject to intellectual property rights that may expose Pixel Junction to liability.
5.2 The client may not transfer support services to a third party. Support services are provided for the internal use of the client only, and any unauthorized distribution of the support services will be grounds for immediate termination of these Terms and Conditions. The client will take reasonable measures to prevent the unauthorized distribution and use of support services.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 6.1To the extent permitted by law, Pixel Junction and its liability under these terms and conditions is limited to the amounts paid by the client for the support plan ordered by the client. Pixel Junction cannot accept liability for losses caused by the unavailability, malfunction or interruption of the hosting service, loss of turnover, sales, revenue, profits or indirect, consequential or special loss.
6.2 The client may not assign its rights or obligations under a support plan. Any unauthorized assignment will be void. Pixel Junction will not be liable for performance delays or for non-performance, due to causes beyond its reasonable control. A waiver of any breach or default under these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect, and the parties will replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves the original intent of the parties and economic effect of the Terms and Conditions.
7. CANCELLATIONS 7.1 To cancel all or part of your service, we require an email from the primary account contact or a letter from the account address, requesting that all or part of the service be cancelled.

7.2 All cancellation requests are received on the basis of a 30 day notice period. If the notice period extends beyond the next renewal date of the service or parts thereof, then a final renewal invoice will be generated, and the service that you have requested to be cancelled will be cancelled on that date. We will normally generate any final renewal invoices in the form of a monthly invoice, regardless of the historic renewal cycle of the service. If the notice period ends prior to the next renewal date of the service, we will cancel the service on the next renewal date.
