Monitoring and Standby Time

Clients acknowledge that certain services require continuous supervision, monitoring, validation, testing, oversight, and availability of technical personnel.

Billable time may include active labor, monitoring, supervision, validation of system processes, recovery oversight, testing, quality assurance, vendor coordination, contingency planning, and availability during critical recovery operations.

Gigabit Systems shall determine, in its reasonable professional judgment, the personnel, resources, and level of oversight required to perform services safely and effectively.

---

No Guarantee of Recovery

While Gigabit Systems will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve technical issues, recover systems, restore data, and minimize downtime, Gigabit Systems does not guarantee the recovery, restoration, repair, accessibility, or integrity of any data, software, database, application, system, or business process.

---

Scope Determination

Gigabit Systems shall have sole discretion to determine whether a particular request, issue, project, incident, recovery effort, consultation, or technical matter falls within the scope of Managed Services or constitutes separately billable Professional Services or Emergency Response Services.

Such determination shall be made in good faith based upon the complexity, urgency, risk, resources required, and nature of the work involved.

---

Acceptance

By utilizing Gigabit Systems' services, the client acknowledges and agrees to the foregoing terms and understands that services falling outside the standard scope of Managed Services may result in additional charges.
