DISCLAIMER
Even with software packages that are well proven in New Zealand, occasionally bugs or defects in the programs occur, if the software or operating system has not operated as intended or expected. Whilst we make every endeavour to minimise disruptions that are caused by these circumstances, we cannot guarantee that such an event will not arise. The defects that have caused the problem may be beyond our control and for this reason we are unable to accept responsibility or liability for any loss arising from such a defect.
If problems do occur we will do everything we can to assist in diagnosing the problems and advise on the appropriate corrective actions to be taken.
For example, it may be necessary to instigate alternate procedures in order to allow transaction processing to continue until a software supplier corrects a defect. Any time spent by us in diagnosing, reporting and advising on appropriate alternate actions is chargeable to the client in the normal manner.
Some software packages require the payment of an annual fee in return for an entitlement to receive at least annually, a complete update of the software package. It would normally entitle the user to receive bug or defect corrections. However, most software suppliers do not undertake to install these new versions on the client?s machine. Again when we perform these services and provide advice on the procedures and timing for them, our time and costs in performing these services is chargeable to you as the client in the normal manner.
Should it be found that we have configured the software in a manner that causes erroneous results, we will do all we can to minimise the problem and effect a rapid recovery, but we assume no liability for lost or corrupted data or losses incurred as a result.
