The Intellectual property rights in all pre-existing AC P's materials and methodologies utilized in this engagement or incorporated into a report or any other material provided to the Client remain vested in ACP.

ACP may terminate the engagement forthwith in the event that the Client is in breach of any of the Terms of Business and/or any terms in the Quotation/Proposal or if ACP otherwise considers it necessary.

If the engagement is terminated by either party prior to completion, all outstanding fees and expenses incurred for work completed up to that point shall remain payable to ACP and the Terms of Business shall remain binding upon the Client.

CHARGES

Fees are based on either the time spent by ACP on an assignment at the man day rates for the staff concerned or other pre-agreed amounts.

Either party may request changes to the agreed scope of the engagement.

ACP will work together with the Client to consider and, if appropriate, vary any aspect of the engagement, subject to payment of reasonable additional fees and a reasonable additional period of time to provide the additional services.

ACP reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at an annual rate of 2% over the average prime lending rate of the leading local banks prevailing from the due date to the payment date of the overdue amounts.

USE OF REPORTS

Reports and advice given by ACP or by the web application/software will be solely for the Client’s use and benefit and only for the purpose of the engagement to which these Terms of Business relate.

No liability is accepted by ACP to any third party for its reports or advice, whether disclosure is permitted in the manner set out in these Standard Terms of Business.

The Client acknowledges that no reliance will be placed on draft reports, conclusions or advice, whether oral or written issued by ACP, as they may be subject to further work, revision or investigation that may render such drafts substantially different from any final report or advice issued.

FAIR USE OF BANDWIDTH AND DATA STORAGE

Client-partner use of bandwidth and disk storage is unlimited if:

Use is integral to use of the hosted service, i.e. you are using it as it was intended to be used. For example, for a Learning Management System (LMS), it is being used for learning and not some other purpose

Use does not include excessive bandwidth or data storage. We define ‘excessive" as well above the average bandwidth and/or data storage used by other ACP client partners. This would include a sudden change from what one site has used over time to a higher level out-of-step.

Use impacts ACP's ability to provide other users with hosting services. An example would where say a very large amount of data is loaded at one time.

FAIR USE OF STEAMING DATA

With the exception of virtual classroom systems, ACP's hosted services are predominantly designed to provide asynchronous content. Whilst it is possible to load streaming media into the applications and the applications will stream them to users, if a significant amount of streaming media is required, ACP requests that our client partners use a dedicated streaming service such as YouTube or Vimeo which are specifically designed to serve this kind of content.

This Fair Use Policy requires our client partners to follow this request if any significant streaming media needs to be used.

WARRANTIES

The Client accepts and acknowledges that, subject to any statement made in these Standard Terms of Business, ACP has not made any warranties or guarantees of any nature in respect of the engagement or satisfactory conclusion of the engagement or with respect to the economic, financial or other results which the Client may experience as a result of the engagement.
