  1. Service Agreement Acceptance 

A SERVICE AGREEMENT defines the TERMS AND CONDITIONS (T&C) and SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA) of the working relationship. The SERVICE AGREEMENT document must be accepted and signed before any work or support can take place. 

  1. Payment / Estimates / Bids 

The client agrees to pay ARROW TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS in accordance with the terms specified in the SERVICE AGREEMENT document.  We reserve the right to refuse completion or delivery of work until past due balances are paid.  Unless otherwise specified, bid estimates are fixed and include only those elements detailed in the SERVICE AGREEMENT. Billing will reflect the actual costs incurred. Estimates are valid only if signed within 15 days from date of estimate. Client-requested changes will be billed additionally. The client will be notified of any price changes. 

2.a:  Cloud Services 

SPC Business Service, LLC cloud-offerings, including Automated Cloud-Backups and Security Endpoint Protection, are licensed to the client as long as their account is continually paid and in good standing.  In the event that a client’s balance is past-due for 60 or more days, Arrow Technology Solutions reserves the right to pause or terminate the cloud service, which can result in the deletion of saved backups and security protection. 

  1. Out-of-Pocket Expenses 

Fees for professional services do not include outside purchases such as, but not limited to: computer hardware replacement parts, peripheral replacement parts, hardware related to upgrading a device, shipping and handling or courier service. Note that all such expenses will only be charged if the client has approved them prior to purchase. Expenses are subject to California sales tax unless 1) the client is a nonprofit organization; 2) the client resides/operates in a state other than California; or 3) the work is for resale and you have submitted a resale certificate to ARROW TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS. 

If the client should direct ARROW TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS at any time to cancel, terminate or “put on hold” any previously authorized out-of-pocket purchase, we will promptly do so, provided you hold ARROW TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS harmless for any cost incurred as a result. 

  1. Additions and Alterations 

Work requested that is outside the scope of predefined devices listed in Section 9.a of the SERVICE AGREEMENT, or that has not been approved via an ASSET CHANGE/UPDATE FORM after the SERVICE AGREEMENT is approved, is considered to be an “hourly-service rate incident” and will be billed at the rate provided in Section 9b:  Pricing.  If there are any changes to an extent that substantially alters the specifications described in the original estimate, we will submit an agreement addendum to you, and both parties must agree to the revised or additional fee before further work proceeds.  Changes to assets or the addition of new assets can be requested through an ASSET CHANGE/UPDATE FORM, and will retain the same contract end-date as the currently active SERVICE AGREEMENT. 

  1. Property & Suppliers’ Performance 

ARROW TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS will take all reasonable precautions to safeguard the property you entrust to us. In the absence of negligence on our part, however, we are not responsible for loss, destruction or damage or unauthorized use by others of such property. Although we may use our best efforts to guard against any loss to you through the failure of our vendors, media, or others to perform in accordance with their commitments, ARROW TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS is not responsible for failure on their part. 

If you select your own vendors, other than those recommended by us, you may request that we coordinate their work. If at all possible, we will attempt to do so, but we cannot in any way be held responsible for quality, price, performance or delivery.
