INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC (ITI) PUBLIC SAFETY SOFTWARE
TELEPHONE TECHNICAL SUPPORT - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Applies to original and renewal:
Support Agreements (license purchase)
Subscription Agreements
Hosted Service Agreements
For All Agreements:
Introduction:
Support of ITI’s Public Safety Software is provided directly by the developers, Information Technologies, LLC. Technical Support personnel are available to address questions covered by our Software Support.
What is Covered:
For products covered by a current agreement, ITI will address any “how to” question specifically related to the implementation or operation of our software. We often receive questions that involve “operational” procedures. Not only are these usually very good questions, but we often determine a software configuration that meets the client’s needs.
What is Not Covered:
Our Software Support DOES NOT cover installation, setup, configuration, migration or diagnostics of your Server, PCs, Local Area Network, printers, tape drive or related systems. These issues should be addressed by your on-site System Administrator or your hardware vendor.
Software telephone technical support does not include software re-installation and/or server migration associated with infrastructure changes. These services are outside of ITI's standard software telephone technical support. ITI can provide dedicated help for these needs at additional cost.
Who Can Call:
Registered System Administrators who have completed ITI System Administration training are eligible to receive telephone technical support. ITI reserves the right to limit each client to two (2) registered System Administrators.
Support Availability / Costs:
Support is available Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM central time.
After-hours telephone technical support is available at ITI’s current After Hours Support Incident Fee. This incident based fee will be charged, net 30 days, regardless of the time required. Client will have the opportunity to identify personnel who are authorized to request after-hours telephone technical support.
By requesting after-hours support, Client agrees to make payment for services provided. Client further agrees that ITI may suspend Software Telephone Technical Support or Subscription or Hosted Service in the event of any unpaid after-hours Support charges.
Support for issues not covered by our Telephone Technical Support or calls from persons other than the two (2) registered System Administrators are available for $95.00 per hour during our normal business hours and $150.00 per hour outside of our normal business hours. A purchase order may be required to obtain support for non-covered issues. A minimum of one hour will be charged for all non-covered Support calls. In the event that support for non-covered issues is not paid, ITI may immediately suspend Software Telephone Technical Support or Subscription or Hosted Service without a refund of fees paid.
Support Assistance:
Successful telephone support of any software product is a joint effort. While ITI has highly trained engineers and technicians supporting our software, it is imperative that the System Administrator has knowledge of the basic concepts of your installation, including knowledge of the Windows PC operating systems and any associated network operating system. The ability to navigate through the system, provide information to our support technicians and perform assigned tasks is essential for successful telephone support. In the event that these capabilities are not present in your System Administrator or contact person, ITI may limit the support activity to fifteen (15) minutes on any incident.
In order to provide support and software updates, ITI requires a high-speed (broadband) internet connection be available and operating. In the event the Client does not provide the required high-speed internet connection, software support and software updates will not be available.
For support purposes, ITI utilizes software web connectivity tools to connect to the Client server(s) or workstation(s). Client is responsible for ensuring that ITI has the proper connectivity and authentication to utilize these tools. A successful connectivity test will be required prior to scheduling software installation or other services. Client is responsible for all appropriate security measures including, but not limited to, an internet firewall.
All Client servers and workstations using ITI’s software must meet ITI’s minimum hardware requirements, published here. ITI will have the right to increase the minimum hardware requirements as needed to support future enhancements to the software. ITI reserves the right to refuse support involving servers and workstations that do not meet these minimum requirements. In such event, no refund of paid services will be made.
ITI reserves the right to refuse support to any Client that is behind by more than two releases of ITI’s products. In the event of such action, no refund of un-used portions of service will be made. ITI will work with the Client on a mutually-agreeable update schedule to be performed during ITI’s normal business hours.
The purpose of these policies and fees is to keep the costs of our Software Support reasonable, for you, our users. By the end-user Client taking responsibility for internal issues, along with hardware, network and operating system issues, ITI can provide Software Telephone Technical Support at reasonable prices. We appreciate your assistance with this effort.

Use of ITI's software on any mobile device requires a mobile license. ITI provides up to two (2) Remote Desktop licenses for use by System Administrators in supporting their system.
