SUPPORT AGREEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
What’s Covered
Nubis IT Support allows your current IT personnel to focus on the core business priorities. It is important that the relationship between the business IT team and the Nubis team is complimentary and that expertise is used wisely. Ultimately your IT manager is in control of the situation and is able to manage costs and time. If it is more cost effective to use an internal resource than it is to outsource the issue to Nubis 365 then the IT manager has that option. Flexibility and sharing of knowledge is our goal with how we deal with our support contracts.
All of the following are covered by 1st Line Support
Telephone Support
Remote Support
2nd & 3rd Line Support
We proactively monitor your network as a matter of course. We will be aware of any issues that are occurring on your network and are proactively planning your server security updates and client security updates to ensure a robust level of service.
Should your IT team fail to rectify a situation and are in need of additional support they should call Nubis 365 for assistance. This would constitute a different level of support. At this point the consultant would make a decision as to how to proceed either by contacting the third party vendor on behalf of the company or by despatching a consultant to attempt to resolve the issue.
This level of support is generally referred to as second or third line support. At Nubis 365 we understand that our clients will endeavour to fix issues internally as this is a sensible use of resources. If however there are insufficient resources internally or insufficient time then we are ready to respond and assist.
All of the following are covered by within 2nd & 3rd Line Support

The rate per hour is £75.00.A surcharge of £30.00 will also be incorporated in to the invoice to cover travelling expenses outside of a 20 Mile Radius.
