| As you know, keeping software current, and hardware in good working order, can be critical toward completing a job on time. Our support program provides the services necessary to get projects done and delivered. To avoid unexpected costs, and to protect your investment, Dat/em provides a great support program. Besides... it just makes sense.
There are two support options available for Summit Evolution and SuperImposition systems, (1) System Support, or (2) Software-only Support. All other Dat/em interfaces are covered under System Support only.
System Support
includes one year of software updates, technical support, and a Dat/em -supplied hardware warranty. All new purchases and upgrades include one full year of System Support at no extra charge. System Support provides the same great services as Software Support with the added benefit of hardware warranty.
Software-only Support
includes one year of software updates and technical support. Software-only support is available only for Summit Evolution and SuperImposition systems.
Support Terms:
- New sales include one year (12 months) of System Support. A 90-day warranty period allows the client to return a newly purchased system for a full refund. The 90-day period is determined by the shipping date. Support extends one year beyond the 90-day warranty.
- Upgrades include one year of System Support from the time the upgrade is shipped to the client.
- Subsequent support terms after the first year may be purchased on an annual basis. Dat/em provides multiple system and educational license discounts. Please contact the support department for pricing.
- Annual support is applied on a per seat, or per license, basis.
- The client may renew support as Software-only at any time. System support may not be renewed after coverage has lapsed in excess of 90 days without additional charges. Contact Dat/em for details.
Support Benefits:
- Efficient, friendly telephone service is provided with no recorded menus to bypass. Support calls are handled by experienced technical staff. A toll-free 800 number is provided for domestic US and Canadian calls. Support's office hours are between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pacific Time. Clients may contact Dat/em any time via telephone, fax, or email at support@datem.com.
- 24-hour support services are available for clients whose normal working hours extend outside of DAT/EM's normal business hours. Please email DAT/EM for a phone number if you would like to use these services.
- Technical Support topics include Dat/em software or hardware, AutoCAD, MicroStation, and compatible operating systems. Clients are also encouraged to contact support with suggestions and software requests.
- Software updates are provided at no extra cost for the support period covered. All Dat/em software on a supported instrument is covered, unless otherwise specified. Updates may be downloaded from the web at www.datem.com 24 hours a day. The client may contact DAT/EM for an installation key prior to logging on for software, or may request an installation key via email from the web. CD's are available upon request.
- Shipping software updates via Federal Express economy or international priority is included.
- International clients are responsible for all consequent duties and taxes when applicable. International distributors provide support services directly to their clients, with assistance as necessary from Dat/em.
- Periodic "checkup" calls and emails may be made to the client to ensure the system is running well and to solicit product feedback.
- Dat/em's quarterly newsletter is provided. Updated documentation may be requested in printed or digital format, including keypad overlays, and product information. Digital documentation is provided on all Dat/em installation CD's, but is not included when software is downloaded from the web site.
System Support includes all of the above, PLUS-
International System Support may not be available in all countries. Please contact Dat/em or your local distributor for details.
All Dat/em-supplied hardware is replaced at no charge if it becomes defective with the following restrictions:
- Faulty hardware must be returned to Dat/em promptly, and shall not have been defaced or altered by the client. The client shall pay shipping costs to return the hardware.
- Shipping expenses for replacement hardware are paid by Dat/em, with the exception of duties and taxes on international shipments.
- Client must be currently enrolled in system support. (Note: If support is not current, invoicing will include cost of hardware plus shipping. Additional charges for technical assistance may be assessed.)
- If no equivalent hardware is obtainable for replacement, Dat/em reserves the right to provide a substitution. Any necessary computer upgrades required to utilize the replacement hardware are the responsibility of the client. A video card upgrade may be required when replacing a video card. Please refer to the video card upgrade terms below.
· Dat/em will pay 50% for video card hardware upgrades on Summit, provided (1) Dat/em purchases the video card, and (2) a video card was supplied by Dat/em with the original purchase of a system. Contact Dat/em support for a list of video card options, as these change with market availability. Limit one optional video card upgrade per year per system. Dat/em software undergoes many enhancements and changes during the course of a year. The ability to update mapping systems is more important now than ever before. Please consider supporting your mapping investment.
