Note

Claritum reserves the right to make additional charges if, in Claritum’s sole opinion, the client places excessive volume of support requests with the Claritum Support Team, or that the client’s support requests are not properly defined, not relevant to Claritum’s software or are unreasonable.

The unreasonable requests may include but are not limited to:

  • time consuming Standard Change Requests
  • non-standard Change Requests ( changes to the system requiring releases) 

Claritum will notify you if we feel we are approaching unreasonable levels of support.
