on amount of data that is actually backed up ($3/GB).
After Business Hours
All After Business Hours support calls must be called into TURNkey IT at

technicians. After Hours work is billable and will require written authorization either via
email or by completing the authorization form found at www.turnkey.pro/afterhours.
Changes in the Number of Supported Devices
As the customer network inevitably expands or contracts within the period of this
contract, modifications will be made to the monthly charges billed to the customer.
Therefore, if the customer network contracts, the monthly billed rate will be lowered by
the value of the subtraction of such device(s). Likewise, an increase in number of
supported PCs or servers will result in a higher monthly charge based on worksheet
figures in I above. Monetary values associated with such devices will not be changed
during the term of this contract. For example, if two additional machines are added to
the network, the customer’s monthly fee will be raised by the appropriate amount per
month.
Payment Schedule
Payment is due net 30 from invoice date. Customer agrees to pay the monthly support
fee within 30 days of billing. Customer also agrees to pay such fees and costs, when
and as the services are rendered outside of this agreement (i.e. enhancements to
network) and any expenses incurred (such as parking), as invoiced by TURNkey.
TURNkey reserves the right to require prepayment or advance deposit for such
additional charges or expenses in some instances. Customer is also responsible for
sales or use taxes and shipping fees on new equipment purchases, returns to
manufacturers or other expenses derived from supporting customer network.
