ISC will communicate the need for additional time to partners within the first 10 days of receiving contracts). ISC will accept service calls on a ‘Best Effort’ basis during the 30 Day ramp-up time for a new contract.

10) At the time of awarding the contract, equipment must be operational for at least 21 days prior to site surveys (Note: equipment functionality to factory specifications will be validated by equipment logs as required in the site survey form).

11) ISC will take a unit of equipment under contract immediately after completing repairs under a Time & Material basis, only if repaired by ISC.

14) Terms and Conditions for RoHS products – ISC expects an equal to equal exchange for RoHS:

Note: actual costs of the equipment (and not the maintenance cost) will be invoiced.
