​

Thank you for purchasing a Maintenance Agreement from OMECorp LLC., or its affiliate, OMECorp Genesis Business Systems (collectively “OMECorp”). This document is a part of your Maintenance Agreement with OMECorp and it provides additional details regarding OMECorp’s Maintenance Agreement covering the hardware and software of the equipment covered by the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement and listed on the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement (“Products”).

​

WHAT’S COVERED? 

​

Maintenance Services, as described herein, will be provided for the Products at the location listed under the Installation Information section of the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement (“Installation Location”). OMECorp agrees to provide the parts and labor needed for the ordinary maintenance of the Products as required due to normal wear, tear, and usage ("Maintenance Services"). Maintenance Services do not include Excluded Services (as defined below) as defined solely by OMECorp. Maintenance Services may include preventative maintenance and inspections from time to time, as determined by OMECorp. Software Maintenance Services include the installation of updates for program(s), associated supporting documentation made generally available by OMECorp, and commercially reasonable efforts to correct any incidents.  The OMECorp Software Maintenance Services Agreement is not a software license agreement.  OMECorp may, at its option, designate a third party to provide Maintenance Services. OMECorp, in its sole discretion, may service the Products by replacing the Product with new or like-new Products; provided that such replacement products are substantially similar to the Products listed on the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement. Maintenance Services will be provided during normal business hours excluding OMECorp observed holidays.  Any parts or Products that are replaced by OMECorp while performing Maintenance Services shall become the property of OMECorp.

 

WHAT ARE THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES FEES AND WHEN ARE THEY DUE?

​

For Purchased Products:

Customer shall commence paying for the Maintenance Services upon delivery of the Products to the Installation Location. All fees for Maintenance Services ("Maintenance Fees") on the Products are invoiced annually, in advance.

For Leased Products:

If the Products are being leased (“Leased Products”) and the Maintenance Fees are included in the lease payment amount, then Maintenance Services will be provided at no extra cost, except for the Additional Charges (as defined below), during the initial term of the lease, provided the Customer is current with all lease payments. Customer shall commence paying for the Maintenance Services on Leased Products, where Maintenance Fees are included in the lease payment, on the date the lease commences. During any renewal term, Customer agrees to pay the then-current fee for Maintenance Services.

 

For Depot Service Agreements:

For contracts signed under a Depot Service Plan, all Covered Services remain the same. The only addition is the customers responsibility to ship the covered equipment as directed by OME Service for repairs. OMECorp will provide return shipping to the installation location as part of the agreement. If onsite service is required the travel charges will be billed per the current market rate at the time of service.

 

 

Additional Charges:

In addition to the Maintenance Fees, Customer agrees to pay for (a) labor, parts, and expenses for Excluded Services performed by OMECorp; (b) travel expenses and any on-site maintenance services that in the opinion of OMECorp is not deemed necessary; (c) an increased Maintenance Fee during the initial maintenance term for Products that are regularly used by more than one shift of personnel per business day, or exceed Product recommended usage; (d) OMECorp may increase the Maintenance Fees during and at the end of the initial maintenance term (as defined below) and any renewal term; (e) equipment refurbishment required for Products that are in excess of annual or lifetime volume thresholds as solely defined by OMECorp; and (f) OMECorp approved power protection device(s) to assist in preventing electrical issues and damage to Products. In the event Customer’s account is greater than 30 days past due, the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement may be suspended and Maintenance Services placed on a billable/per call basis and Customer agrees to pay the then-current fee for Maintenance Services until Customer’s account is brought back to current and the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement reinstated. At OMECorp’s sole discretion the Customer may be required to obtain a final customer visit to perform Excluded Services in order to complete a termination of OMECorp Maintenance Agreement.  All additional charges shall be at OMECorp's then-current rates for time and materials. Charges for labor shall include travel expenses including travel time, gas, tolls, mileage, etc.  Customer agrees to make payments to the address specified on OMECorp invoices, or at any other place designated in writing by OMECorp, within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. If OMECorp does not receive a payment in full on or before its due date, Customer shall pay a fee equal to 5% of the amount that is late, or twenty dollars ($25), whichever is greater; but in no event, shall Customer pay more than the maximum amount allowed by law. In addition, Customer agrees to pay OMECorp the then-current fee for checks returned unpaid and for ACH direct debit transactions which are rejected.  All payments for Maintenance Services and additional charges are nonrefundable.

WHAT ARE THE TERMS & CANCELLATION PROCEDURES OF MAINTENANCE SERVICES?

 

For Purchased Products:

Unless otherwise specified in the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement, the initial term of OMECorp Maintenance Agreement is one (1) year and unconditionally non-cancellable by Customer. Unless Customer provides at least ninety (90) days written notice to OMECorp prior to the end of the initial term, or any renewal term, the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement shall automatically renew for an additional one (1) year term at OMECorp’s then-current fee for Maintenance Services.

 

For Leased Products:

The initial term of the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement for Leased Products will be equal to the initial term of the lease and unconditionally non-cancellable by Customer. If a Customer elects to execute an early termination of the lease, and Maintenance Service is not included in the termination quote in the lease, OMECorp will invoice the Customer for the remaining months of the initial or renewal term of the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement.  The OMECorp Maintenance Agreement shall automatically renew upon renewal of the lease at OMECorp’s then-current fee for Maintenance Service.

WHAT OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES DO I HAVE?

​

CUSTOMER’S MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS: Customer agrees to maintain the Products in accordance with OMECorp’s specifications. Customer shall not perform, or permit third parties to perform, maintenance or repair on the Products not in accordance with OMECorp’s specifications or approved in writing by OMECorp.

FIRST LEVEL SUPPORT:  OMECorp will provide first level support to the designated support contacts via email, telephone, or other commercially reasonable means during normal business hours.  First level support may require remote connection to your Product or software program(s).

COPIES OF DATA: Customer is solely responsible for all data stored on the Products and making copies of all such data prior to OMECorp performing Maintenance Services.

USE OF OMECORP SUPPLIES: If the Customer uses other than OMECorp provided supplies without the expressed written consent of OMECorp, and if such supplies cause service calls, service problems, or damage to Products, OMECorp may, at its option, assess a surcharge or terminate the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement. In this event, the Customer may be offered service on a "billable/per call" basis based upon published rates.

If a customer refuses to obtain Complete System Coverage, OMECorp may terminate the OMECorp Maintenance Agreement on any Product that is otherwise covered by such an OMECorp Maintenance Agreement.
