Article 2. Installation and delivery

If this forms part of the Agreement, Bovertis will install and configure the On- Premise Software on a hardware, software and network environment to be designated by the Client under the responsibility of the Client.
In the event that Bovertis performs the installation as referred to in the previous paragraph, the Client will, at the request of Bovertis, grant employees and auxiliary persons of Bovertis all necessary access to the environment to enable installation, configuration, maintenance and adjustments of the On - Premise Software. At the request of Bovertis, the Client will also make its own employees available.
The choice, purchase and management of the hardware, software and network environment is the sole and full responsibility of the Client. Bovertis will provide instructions on the desired configuration. If the designated environment does not meet the requirements of Bovertis, Bovertis is not responsible for the non-functioning of the On- Premise Software.

Article 3. Warranties and Availability

Insofar as an applicable SLA does not form part of the Agreement, the provisions of this article apply.
The Client accepts that the On- Premise Software only contains the functionality and other properties as the Client finds in the On- Premise Software at the time of delivery (“as is”), therefore with all visible and invisible errors and defects. Bovertis does not warrant that the On - Premise Software will be available at all times without interruption or defects.
Bovertis is not obliged to remedy problems/defects in the On - Premise Software that are discovered more than three (3) months after delivery and are due to changes in the environment or other technical influences (including browsers, infrastructure, operating systems and changed standards included).
Adjustments that must necessarily be made as a result of technical influences as referred to in the previous paragraph, will be made in small updates. Bovertis will, as far as possible, indicate in advance what the costs are for these activities if they are not included in the next minor update.
The Client is aware that Bovertis has no influence on the hardware and infrastructure of the Client on which the On- Premise Software is installed. Bovertis therefore gives no guarantees with regard to the availability of the hardware and infrastructure, and the availability of the On - Premise Software as a result of non-availability of the hardware and/or infrastructure.

Article 4. Support

Unless otherwise agreed in an SLA, support is provided by Bovertis without Bovertis giving any guarantees.
Bovertis will provide remote support. To provide remote support from Bovertis' own office locations, the Client must enable Bovertis to access the software via the internet. In doing so, the Client will provide all reasonable cooperation that is necessary to provide remote support. The Client is responsible for granting Bovertis access to the Client's systems.
When remote support is provided, Bovertis is free to choose which software it uses for the support. The Client can indicate a solution here, but Bovertis is never obliged to use this designated solution.

Module E: Hosting

The following articles (article E.1. up to and including E.5.) apply if the Service (also) serves to provide services regarding hosting.

Article 1. General

If the Service has to be implemented by Bovertis before commissioning, Bovertis will take care of this in accordance with the provisions in the General Terms and Conditions and the Agreement. In the implementation of the Service, the Client will provide all necessary cooperation and comply with the reasonable requests of Bovertis.

Article 2. Shared hosting

If the Services (partly) consist of shared hosting, the capacity and storage space of the hardware made available to the Client by Bovertis will be shared with other Bovertis customers.

In the event of an excessive load on the hardware by the Client, Bovertis may temporarily block all or part of the Services for the Client in order to guarantee the quality of the service for other clients, without being liable in any way for any resulting damage.

The request for upgrading or downgrading the Services can be requested by the Client In Writing via Bovertis. Boverts has the right to refuse an upgrade or downgrade request.

Article 4. Dedicated hosting

If the Services (partly) relate to dedicated hosting, Bovertis will make its own hardware available to the Client and the storage space and capacity of the hardware will therefore not be shared with other Bovertis customers. The hardware is and remains the property of Bovertis.
The installation and maintenance of the hardware is performed by Bovertis. The Client therefore has no right of access to the server room.
Bovertis has the right to allocate other hardware to the Client, provided that the replacement hardware reasonably meets the requirements that applied to the original hardware.
