Service Restrictions & Add-On Charges
PROJECT DELAYS
-
Project Delays will incur a monthly storage charge if the delay is due to a client related or requested delay, or software delays not under control of SurroundUs Services. The monthly storage charge will be $90/month for up to 2TB of data storage. Additional TBs will be charged at $45/TB/Month. If the project delay requires any re-work, like getting access again or additional downloads, the repeated work will be charged to your bucket of hours, additional time in excess of your bucket of hours will be charged hourly at $125/hour. Client delays can include but are not limited to a lack of communication, unresponsiveness, time taken for clients to complete requested tasks, etc. Software delays can include but are not limited to syncing delays due to low bandwidth at client location, software bugs with selected or legacy systems. We define a delay as any task that takes longer than five business days after its due date. For example, your project manager requests that you schedule your transition call by Friday. If you have not responded to us by the following Friday, we will send you a notification that you will be charged a delay fee if you don’t respond to us by the following business day. While we do our best to offload the heavy lifting of your project, there will be times where your engagement is necessary and critical in moving forward. Delays incur actual storage costs for our company as we maintain multiple backups of your content while working on your project.
