Exclusions

This agreement is written in a spirit of partnership. The Supplier will always do everything possible to rectify every issue in a timely manner.

However, there are a few exclusions. This agreement does not apply to:

  • Any equipment, software, services or other parts of the IT system not listed above
  • Software, equipment or services not purchased via and managed by the Supplier

Additionally, this agreement does not apply when:

  • The problem has been caused by using equipment, software or services in a way that is not recommended (defined as intentional neglect, misuse, or destruction of the equipment)
  • The Client has made unauthorized changes to the configuration or set up of affected equipment, software or services. Unauthorized changes are defined as changes made by any party other than the Supplier to the software, hardware, or firmware that alter the system’s ability to record, upload, or view data.
  • The Client has prevented the Supplier from performing required maintenance and update tasks.
  • The issue has been caused by unsupported equipment, software or other services.

This agreement does not apply in circumstances that could reasonably be said to be beyond the Supplier’s control. For instance: floods, war, acts of god and so on.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Supplier aims to be helpful and accommodating at all times, and will do its absolute best to assist the Client wherever possible.

Supplier Responsibilities

The Supplier will provide and maintain the system used by the Client. The Service Level Agreement between the Supplier and the Client includes full details of these responsibilities.

Additionally, the Supplier will do the following:

  • SaaS will be maintained at 99% uptime/availability or greater 24/7/365
  •  Ensure relevant software, services and equipment are available to the Client including an appropriate level of spares
  •  Respond to support requests within the timescales listed below
  •  Take steps to escalate and resolve issues in an appropriate, timely manner
  •  Maintain good communication with the Client at all times

Client Responsibilities

The Client will use the Supplier-provided IT system as intended.

The Client is responsible for maintaining power and internet connectivity at all video offload locations on the network.  For offload via a Client approved third party or Supplier provided access point, the Client has the option of either (a) organizing an independent internet connection via its local provider with a minimum upload speed of 50 Mbps, or, (b) connecting the access point to its own network having a minimum internet upload speed of 50 Mbps.  Upon execution of the agreement, as part of the deployment process, a network assessment will be conducted of the Client’s upload speed for the transmission of data to the CJIS Compliant Cloud.  In most cases, the Client should budget for an increase to their upload speed with their local carrier. 

Additionally, the Client will:

  • Notify the Supplier of issues or problems in a timely manner
  • Provide the Supplier with access to equipment, software and services for the purposes of maintenance, updates and fault prevention
  • Maintain good communication with the Supplier at all times

When a Client raises a support issue with the Supplier, the Supplier promises to respond in a timely fashion.

Response Times

UA provides a 99% uptime/availability commitment. All systems have health monitoring that assures that issues are typically addressed 24/7/365 by UA personnel before they become an impact to the performance of the service. For support provided to the customer directly, UA has a tiered response to support that will escalate the level of support depending on the situation. Tier 1 would be on-site support by the department staff after they have been trained by UA, which will alleviate most day-to-day issues that may pop up. Problems beyond Tier 1 scope will be escalated to Tier 2, which is phone-based support, and from there to Tier 3, which is on-site technical support from a UA field engineer.  The cost of the response time is included in this Agreement.

While most support calls are handled immediately, Tier 2 issues have guaranteed response times as shown below:

Item PriorityFatalSevereMediumMinor
11 Hour1 Hour2 Hour3 Hour
22 Hour2 Hour4 Hour6 Hour
34 Hour4 Hour8 Hour16 Hour

Severity Levels

The severity levels shown in the tables above are defined as follows:

  • Fatal: Complete degradation – all users and critical functions affected. Item or service completely unavailable.
  • Severe: Significant degradation – large number of users or critical functions affected.
  • Medium: Limited degradation – limited number of users or functions affected. Business processes can continue.
  • Minor: Small degradation – few users or one user affected. Business processes can continue.

The Supplier will always endeavor to resolve problems as swiftly as possible. It recognizes that the Client’s systems are key to daily functions and must be functional in the field.

However, UA is unable to provide guaranteed resolution times. This is because the nature and causes of problems can vary.

In all cases, the Supplier will make its best efforts to resolve problems as quickly as possible. It will also provide frequent progress reports to the Client.

1.1.1    Access to Software. UA is the developer and owner of, or has rights to, certain enterprise mobile device tracking and messaging software known as “AVaiL™”, “AVaiL Web”, “Vehicle Diagnostics”, and “RFID Tracking” and related content to be provided to Customer; such software, its related content and any related documentation provided by UA, and the means used to provide the software to Customer and the services described herein are collectively referred to as the “Service”.

Using the Administrator’s Login, the Customer Administrator shall assign each Licensed User a unique login identifier and password (“User Login”) and provide such information to the Licensed Users and UA via the Service. Customer shall not provide a User Login to any individual or entity that is not a Licensed User to use the Service. Customer shall be responsible to ensure, by agreement or otherwise, that each Licensed User will: (a) be responsible for the security and/or use of his or her User Login; (b) not disclose such login identifier or password to any person or entity; (c) not permit any other person or entity to use his or her User Login; (d) use the Service only in   accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and on the workstation software from which the Service is accessed. UA shall have the right to deactivate, change and/or delete User Logins of Licensed Users who have violated this Agreement and to deny or revoke access to the Service, in whole or in part, if UA reasonably believes Customer and/or its Licensed Users are in material breach of this Agreement. Customer shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the access to the Service by a Licensed User who ceases to be an employee of Customer or one of its affiliates is terminated. UA shall have no responsibility for managing, monitoring, and/or overseeing Customer’s and its Licensed Users’ use of the Service. Customer acknowledges that the Service may contain devices to monitor Customer’s compliance with the terms and restrictions contained herein and Customer’s obligations hereunder.

1.1.2    Operating Environment. Customer is solely responsible for acquiring, installing, operating and maintaining the hardware and software environment necessary to access and use the Service remotely via the Internet.

1.1.3    Changes to Service. UA may upgrade, modify, change or enhance (“Change”) the Service and convert Customer to a new version thereof at any time in its sole discretion so long as such Change does not materially diminish the scope of the Service, in which event Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to UA. During the term of this agreement, if UA upgrades the version of the Service Customer is using under this Agreement, Customer will not be charged an upgrade fee. Should UA offer additional optional software modules in the future that complement the Software, Customer may elect to purchase the optional software modules for an additional fee; however, Customer has no obligation to do so.

1.1.4    Help Desk. UA shall provide 24/7 Customer support in the form of a Help Desk. Customers reporting issues through email will receive confirmation of the issue within a reasonable time and will receive a callback the same business day if practical.

1.1.5    Uptime Commitment.

a.         Availability. The Service will be made available to Customer and its Licensed Users twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week less the period during which the Service are not available due to one or more of the following events (collectively, the “Excusable Downtime”):

b.         Commitment. Customer is responsible for promptly notifying UA in the event of a suspected Service failure. For the purposes of establishing uptime herein, downtime begins upon such notification and ends upon restoration of Service. Subject to Customer satisfying its obligations herein, UA guarantees that the Service will be available to Customer and its Licensed Users at least 99% of the time during each calendar month, excluding Excusable Downtime (“Uptime Commitment”). If UA fails to satisfy the Uptime Commitment during a month, then UA will credit to Customer a pro-rated portion of the Fees in the first month of the next succeeding calendar quarter following the failure.  For purposes of this Section, “pro-rated portion of the Fees” means the product obtained by multiplying the applicable Fees during the month of the failure by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of hours that the Service did not satisfy the Uptime Commitment, and the denominator of which will be the total number of hours during the month that such failure occurred less Excusable Downtime.

1.1.6    Uniforms.  UA’s BodyWorn Solution is the only body camera system available to law enforcement that features direct integration of camera hardware into the officer’s/deputy’s uniform.  As part of the multi-year service agreement, UA will furnish the following allotments and services during initial project launch.

a.         Retrofits of existing uniforms.  A quantity of five (5) standard uniform garments, per BodyWorn camera purchased, will be modified to BodyWorn ready status, for the purposes of product integration with our camera hardware solution.  UA will provide The Client with both uniform retrofit vouchers and packing slip templates.  Note, both uniform vouchers and accurately completed packing slips are required for all retrofit requests being sent to UA for processing.  Failure to provide accurate uniform information may result in delays of processing The Client’s request.

  • (i)         Duty shirts (long or short sleeve)

  • (i)         Resellers may participate in the certification program, for the purposes of retrofitting standard duty shirts and soft outer carrier vests only.  All other non-standard garment retrofits should be forwarded to UA, at the expense of The Client.
