Data Repair: Repairing incorrect information in a Set of Books and includes the following situations:
a. where the client’s records have become corrupted due to external factors, including but not limited to hardware failure, faulty backups, and attempted access of data files using software other than Phoenix;
b. correcting data due to improper use of the software;
c. providing assistance due to failing to set up or install Phoenix correctly.
Phoenix: The range of software products offered by AGDATA as listed on the AGDATA website (www.agdata.com.au).
Program Fault: An error, flaw, failure or fault which causes Phoenix to produce an incorrect or unexpected result or behave unintendedly.
Support Incident: an advisory service provided by AGDATA to the client, whether by telephone, via online interaction, by email or by other means, concerning the technical use and application of Phoenix, excluding Data Repair, where the client is provided with one or more of the following:
a. Information that resolves the issue being experienced by the client;
b. Information on how to obtain a solution that will resolve the issue being experienced by the client;
c. Advice that the issue being experienced by the client is a known Program Fault or an incompatibility issue with Phoenix;
d. Information that identifies the issue being experienced by the client as one that is related to hardware or equipment;
e. Information that identifies the problem being experienced by the client as one that is related to a third-party product.
Training: Any instruction given by AGDATA to the client on utilising any aspect of Phoenix.
AGDATA provides technical support to its clients relating to the use of Phoenix.
AGDATA does not provide advice or support concerning hardware or any software (including, but not limited to, email programs, web browsing programs or security programs) that AGDATA does not produce.
Data Repair is not classified as technical support and is provided on request at AGDATA’s standard chargeable rates.
Training is not classified as technical support; training packages can be purchased separately. Clients are encouraged to contact AGDATA if they require additional training support.
It is important to note that the provision of Technical Support is not intended to be, nor should be interpreted as, the provision of accounting, taxation or financial advice by AGDATA. AGDATA does not provide such advice. If a client requires advice on such matters, AGDATA recommends engaging the services of a licensed, professional advisor.
Clients with a current Subscription are not charged for technical support even if the answer can be found in the supporting program documentation. Clients without an existing subscription requiring technical support are charged per Support Incident.
AGDATA wish to ensure that all clients can access technical support assistance within a reasonable period. Accordingly, we have created a Fair Use Policy that applies to the technical support service usage for clients with a current Subscription.
It is “unreasonable use” of the Subscription where AGDATA reasonably considers a client’s use of that service to be fraudulent use, to be contrary to the way the Subscription is intended to be used (“Intended Use”), or to adversely affect AGDATA or other AGDATA clients’ use of or access to the Subscription.
“Fraudulent use” shall include, but not be limited to, accessing the Subscription on behalf of AGDATA clients without a valid Subscription or otherwise allowing someone else to access or use the Subscription.
Amongst other things, use that is contrary to the Intended Use includes:
- using the Subscription in a way that an ordinary person could reasonably regard as being used in a manner that AGDATA did not intend;
- consistently using the Subscription to address issues previously addressed by a support technician, which occurs because the client fails or refuses to follow the advice provided by a support technician.
If AGDATA determines that a client’s use of technical support and/or the Subscription is unreasonable, AGDATA will contact the client and discuss changing their usage so that it conforms to the Fair Use Policy. If the unreasonable use continues after that time, the client will be notified in writing and shall, for the period stated in the said notice, be charged for ongoing support services at AGDATA’s standard rates.
AGDATA technical support is available through the support contact form on our website www.agdata.com.au/support/, or by emailing the team directly at tech@agdata.com.au. Responses will be attended to during regular business hours.
Support is provided from 8:45 am – 5:00 pm AEST each business day. Support is unavailable on public holidays gazetted for Queensland.
Customers will be prompted to leave a time for a call-back that best suits them, and AGDATA will strive to contact those people with the available resources during that time.
Each year the AGDATA office is closed over Christmas and New Year. Only urgent support issues are attended to during this period. All other requests for support will be attended to when the office re-opens.
