GENERAL SERVICE LEVEL OVERVIEW

At Quick IMS we believe your business is important to you. We believe in providing a professional service and approach to our services that let you get on with your business and not have to worry about the technical side of setting up and keeping your website and online store running.

We will do our best to ensure that your website or online store is up and running and accessible to customers.

You can have some piece of mind in knowing that we take regular backups and regular off-site backups to protect your website, online store and data from potential hardware or software failures.

Domain name inclusions are valued up to AU$30.00 only. Domains that are valued more than AU$30.00, such as Premium Domains or Domains that have to be bought by auction, the additional costs above AU$30.00 will need to be paid by you, the customer or client.

We have a strict privacy policy which we adhere to and only with your consent if special circumstances arise deviate from it, or as required by law.

If a customer or users is given FTP access, it is at their own risk and Quick IMS is not liable for any data loss as a result.

Even though regular backups are taken, Quick IMS is not liable for any data loss or any impact that customers may experience to themselves or their business. We recommend that you take your own regular backups of your data.

Quick IMS is a 'multi-tenanted', 'multi-customer' cloud based system. This means there are other customer that reside in their own secure area on the service. Even though we strive to keep data separation between clients at all times - you agree that we will not be liable for any damages caused for 'cross sharing' of any data between clients - either accidental or on purpose.

Quick IMS also stores 'offline data' typically stored on your mobile devices especially when you are in remote (non-internet enabled) areas. Quick IMS is not liable for any data loss due to 'syncing' back to the server as well as any data loss caused on your end user device.

It is ultimately your responsibility to keep regular backups and copies of your own data and that any syncing and data-storage is done on a 'best effort and intention' nature. You agree that in the event of any data loss for any reason that we will not be liable for any damages caused as a result.

Website and online store sub-page(s) (i.e. not index homepage) are not necessarily SEO optimised.

Our services will operate on most web browsers. However, we do not guarantee that content will look the same across all browsers and in some cases, the services themselves may actually be un-useable. However, we will always do or best to ensure that any services developed will be compatible with as many common browsers available at the time of delivery. If you require updates to these services in future to cater for new browser compatibility / functionality or require changes in general, this will need to be re-scoped and costed as required.

If any problems are identified with any Website internal links developed by us, not inclusive of external links, we will attempt to rectify this at no cost to you. We are not responsible for any external content that may become unavailable or changed.

We will not resolve any issues raised as a result of incorrect usage of our CMS system, Website, Online Store or Booking System without the use of support tickets as part of our Support Ticket support programme. i.e. if you remove content unexpectedly or break features and functions of your CMS system, Website, Online Store or Booking System, you will need to use a support ticket to get it investigated and rectified where possible.

Limited support tickets are sometimes supplied or additional support tickets can be purchased. A support ticket can be used to resolve any usage or technical issues and each support ticket can only be used once. When a support ticket is used, Quick IMS will investigate and attempt to resolve the issue within 30 minutes of their effort. If additional time is required to resolve any issues, we will use our discretion and may choose to bring this to your attention. Quick IMS will expire the support ticket once it is used.

Domain names can be changed after a store has been created - additional fees apply, contact us for more information.

We don't run your store for you within the scope of our support, such as adding, removing stock, customers and fulfilling orders - however we will do our best to provide answers to any technical or operation questions you have.

Outages, Disruption and / or Termination of Service

Outages and resumption of service that we are aware of are announced on our website and may also be done via email to our existing customers.

For scheduled non-emergency outages, we will announce the outage as it is planned (usually giving at least 5 days notice).

For unscheduled outages or emergency outages, we will announce it the earliest we are aware of the issue.

We strive to keep outages a minimum, but cannot guarantee that they will not happen. We still recommend that you take appropriate backups and 'fall-back' measures in the event your service is interrupted for extended periods of time.

Disruption of Service apart from outages can occur if payment is not received within 30 days after the required due date of the payment for a service. This is usually due to us deactivating a service should this be decided the appropriate course of action by Quick IMS. This will however be considered as our last resort course of action should payment not be made or us accepting the justification of a late payment.
