It is the CLIENT’s responsibility to regularly review the provisions of this Agreement on the Portal.

1.2 Service Levels
(a) GLiNTECH will use its reasonable endeavours to respond to requests raised by the CLIENT based on the Priority of the request as set out below within the following timeframes. GLiNTECH will determine the Priority of a request acting reasonably.
Priority | Description | Example | Time to first response (within business hours 9am-5pm NSW time) |
---|---|---|---|
Critical | Complete Outage of Application | Service is down | 2 hrs |
High | Significant performance degradation | A heavily used addon is not functioning, preventing many users from using major functionality | 4 hrs |

1.3 Estimations and practices
(a) The CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that any estimate of effort or Fees for any Services provided by GLiNTECH is for informational purposes only and the actual effort or Fees payable by the CLIENT for any Services may be higher or lower than such an estimate.
(b) On occasion, GLiNTECH may recommend that a task be performed by an alternative team at GLiNTECH for reasons including specialised expertise or availability of staff. Where these services are performed as Consultancy Services, the services will be scheduled to be performed at a time agreed between the parties. Such services are governed by and supplied under either
(i) a Master Services Agreement which must be agreed and executed by both parties prior to the services being performed or
(ii) will be governed by and supplied under GLiNTECH’s Professional Services Agreement where no separate Master Services Agreement is agreed.
1.4 Fees and payment
1.4.1 Standard Managed Services Tier
Where the CLIENT procures GLiNTECH’s Standard Managed Services Tier:
(a) The full Fees for the Allotted Quantity of Hours ordered by the CLIENT are due and payable thirty (30) days after GLiNTECH issues an invoice, or with immediate effect where the CLIENT purchases Services with a Credit Card via the Portal.
(b) Where the CLIENT purchases an Allotted Quantity of Hours of Standard Managed Services to be provided by GLiNTECH, the Services will be provided by GLiNTECH in 15 minute increments. For clarity, if a request by the CLIENT takes 35 minutes for GLiNTECH to perform, the CLIENT will be charged at the rounded-up amount of 45 minutes.
(c) Questions raised via the ‘Ask a question’ function are exempt from, and are not deducted from, the Allotted Quantity of Hours to the extent that:
a. the question is simple; and
b. GLiNTECH can reasonably respond to the question with a short (not more than a single paragraph) written response.
(d) The Fees are non-refundable and any outstanding hours, from the Allotted Quantity of Hours not used by the CLIENT within 12 months of purchase of the Allotted Quantity of Hours are forfeited.
(e) At GLiNTECH’s sole discretion, any remaining hours from the Allotted Quantity of Hours may be re-allocated to their equivalent monetary value in either GLINTECH’s Consulting Services or Training Services. These Services are offered at GLINTECH’s standard rates applicable at the time of the decision to reallocate (which may differ from the paid for hourly charge rate of the Service).
(f) Once the Allotted Quantity of Hours have been used in full, GLiNTECH may, at its sole discretion, either continue or cease to provide any further Services to the CLIENT. Where GLiNTECH provides further Services to the CLIENT, the CLIENT agrees and acknowledges that it must pay the Fees in respect of the Services in arrears.
1.4.2 Advanced Managed Services Tier
(a) The Advanced Managed Services are offered by GLiNTECH to CLIENTS on an annual subscription basis only, provided that GLiNTECH may elect to offer the Advanced Managed Services on a trial basis or on a shorter term basis (and any such offer will be agreed with the CLIENT in writing). There are different tiers of Premium Advanced Managed Services offering differing levels of hours depending on the tier selected by the CLIENT. More information about the tiers of the Advanced Managed Services is set out here: Advanced Managed Services - Fair Use.
(b) The CLIENT may select to pay the Fees for the Advanced Managed Services in full in advance or on a monthly basis.
(c) Where paying the Fees in advance, the Fees for Advanced Managed Services ordered by the CLIENT are due and payable thirty (30) days after GLiNTECH issues an invoice, or with immediate effect where the CLIENT purchases Services with Credit Card via the Portal.
(d) Where the CLIENT elects to pay the Fees on a monthly basis, the CLIENT must pay the Fees to GLiNTECH within 30 days of GLiNTECH issuing an invoice for the Fees.
(e) The Fees for the Advanced Managed Services will depend on the tier of Advanced Managed Services selected by the CLIENT – see more information on the Fees here: Advanced Managed Services - Fair Use.
(f) Where the CLIENT purchases the Advanced Managed Services, the Services will be provided by GLiNTECH in 15 minute increments which are subtracted from the total monthly hours under the relevant tier of the Advanced Managed Services selected by the CLIENT. For clarity, if a request by the CLIENT takes 35 minutes for GLiNTECH to perform, the rounded-up amount of 45 minutes will be logged.
(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment of the Fees is non-refundable.
(h) Where in any calendar month the CLIENT reaches or exceeds 125% of the included total monthly hours for the tier of the Advanced Managed Services procured by the CLIENT, GLiNTECH may at its sole discretion, limit the daily supply of Services for the remainder of that calendar month as set out here Advanced Managed Services - Fair Use.
(i) If the CLIENT’s average utilisation of the Advanced Managed Services during the three months immediately preceding the then-current month is less than or equal to 60% of the included total monthly hours for the tier of the Advanced Managed Services procured by the CLIENT, then GLiNTECH may, at its sole discretion, increase the monthly limit of total monthly hours to an amount equal to 200% of the included total monthly hours for the tier of the Advanced Managed Services procured by the CLIENT for the then-current month or such other longer period of time determined by GLiNTECH. Where GLiNTECH determines in its discretion to increase the monthly limit of total monthly hours, it will notify the CLIENT in writing. The purpose of this provision is to allow the CLIENT to have access to unused hours of the Advanced Managed Services subject to GLiNTECH’s capacity and other factors determined by GLiNTECH in its discretion. By way of example only, if a client is procuring Level 1 of the Advance Managed Services (with an included 20 hours) and their utilisation of the Advanced Managed Services for January is 4 hours, for February is 25 hours and for March is 4 hours, then the average for those three months is 11 hours/month which is 55% of the included 20 hours; in April, GLiNTECH may determine to increase the included hours to 40 hours for the month of April.
1.4.3 Advanced Managed Services tier upgrades/downgrades
(a) A CLIENT may downgrade their Advanced Managed Services tier level by providing notice to GLiNTECH 30 days prior to the renewal of the then current subscription term.
(b) A CLIENT may upgrade their Advanced Managed Services tier level at any time by providing notice to GLiNTECH. Any upgrades trigger the recalculation of the monthly threshold set out in clause 1.4.2(e) above, which may result in the removal of any decrease in the provision of Services.
(c) In the event of an upgrade, GLiNTECH will issue the CLIENT an invoice for the difference between the Fees already paid and the Fees due for the higher Managed Services tier level to the end of the then current subscription term which must be paid by the CLIENT in accordance with clause 1.4.2(a).
1.4.3 Outside Business Hours
Any Services performed by GLiNTECH outside of business hours may be provided by GLiNTECH subject to prior written mutual agreement and on a reasonable endeavours basis. Any such Services will be provided in accordance with the table below.
Hours (AEST) | Rate (AUD, ex GST) |
