MAS90/200 2010 Support Agreement Duration This technical phone support agreement begins upon receipt of payment and continues for one year. It provides for unlimited telephone and remote Internet support from Schulz Consulting for covered MAS90 or MAS200 accounting software issues. The fee for this MAS90 / MAS200 unlimited telephone support (up to 10 licensed users and 5 active MAS company codes) is $ 2,800 per year (plus applicable sales tax) – paid annually prior to the start of the support agreement. If you prefer you may pay this annual fee in quarterly installments of $750 or monthly installments of $275 (plus applicable sales tax). Installments are due on the first of each billing period and require a one year commitment. If for any reason you cancel prior to a full year we will only re-establish service under a one year prepaid in full agreement. If in addition to support your company is requesting project work such as an upgrade or advanced troubleshooting, new clients where Schulz Consulting did not implement the software are subject to an additional first year $2,500 fee to cover the effort and consulting required to document and assess the existing software setup, make recommendations (if required) and become familiar with the specialized nature of your company's procedures. Depending upon your location this provides for an on-site meeting to review your MAS setup and make informal recommendations. As noted above, this support agreement covers one licensed MAS 90 or MAS 200 site with up to 10 licensed users and 5 live production (not test or archive) companies. Add $100 /yr per added licensed user (above the initial 10) and $500/yr for each active (not archive) additional company code (above the initial 5).

Schulz Consulting provides unlimited telephone support of your MAS90 / MAS200 accounting software subject to exclusions as outlined below. We provide support on all versions of MAS90 / MAS200 with the understanding that support for older MAS90 / MAS200 versions is on a “Best Efforts” basis and that programming patches for older versions are no longer available from Sage.

Holiday, weekend and after-hours support (outside of our normal M-F 8AM to 5PM EST hours) are not covered under this agreement and (subject to availability) may be pre-arranged subject to minimum fees and as an option at a 100 % surcharge for after hours/weekend work and a 200 % surcharge for holidays. Support response rates do not apply to requests during weekends, holidays or after-hours . Depending upon credit status a prepayment may be required. All support is rendered on a best efforts basis and guarantees a response to your call within the time specified. Some calls require follow-up research that extends beyond the specified response time. The follow-up research is included under this support agreement.

Internet remote support is included in this plan at no additional charge. A fast Internet connection is required for us to provide remote support. Regular data backups are your sole responsibility. Prior to requesting support you agree to create adequate backups of your computer data. We are not responsible for data loss due to inadequate backups. Re-creation of data due to lack of backups is always an option and added fee.
