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.
