What does an Annual Maintenance Plan cover?
	Unlimited technical support on all products purchased for the term of the plan, during published technical support hours.
	All upgrades and patches to the products and modules originally purchased, which are officially released to production during the term of the plan and are still being supported by RCO. Support, including support for upgrading, ends on the termination date of your maintenance plan. You will continue to receive uninterrupted support and upgrades if you renew the Maintenance Plan.
	All upgrades and patches will be available via download. CDs are available upon request. You will be automatically notified by email when major upgrades are available for download from the RCO Web site.

What if you purchase additional modules or licenses after the initial purchase?

All additional purchases MUST be added to the existing maintenance plan.

The annual maintenance price will be based on the current list price.

-	The new price for support will be prorated to the expiration date of the existing plan.
-	If you do not pay the maintenance plan fee for the new purchase, all payments already made for the existing plan will be applied to the new total product owned, which will move the expiration date of the plan to an earlier date.

What if you DO NOT purchase an Annual Maintenance Plan?

Technical support can be purchased for $250 per support incident, for up to two hours of support time. Additional hours will be charged at a rate of $100 per hour.

Multiple incidents that result from a single call will be charged separately.

Upgrades, as defined above, may be purchased for 50% of the current list price.

-	All upgrades will be license and password controlled. The upgrade installation will not complete unless a valid license file is present and a current password is entered.
-	When a major upgrade is released, any bug fixes in that release will not be integrated into earlier releases. These bug fixes will only be available by purchasing the major upgrade.

Can you renew an Annual Maintenance Plan?
	Yes. At any time BEFORE the plan expires, you may renew for any number of years based on the pricing schedule above.
	Annual maintenance renewal pricing will be based on the current list price of the products and modules owned at the time of renewal.
	You cannot renew the annual maintenance plan for only a portion of the products currently owned. All licenses not covered by an annual maintenance plan must be made inactive. To re-activate expired licenses, see the conditions detailed below.

What if you do not renew your Annual Maintenance Plan?
	If not renewed, all benefits of the plan will cease immediately following the plan's expiration date.
	At any time within 1 year following the expiration date, you may renew the original plan retroactive to the original expiration date, for any number of additional years based on the above pricing, subject to a reinstatement fee.
	The reinstatement fee will be equal to 10% of the current list price at the time of reinstatement of all products and licenses owned at the time of reinstatement.

Can you renew the original plan more than 1 year after the expiration date?
	NO. After one year you must first purchase the current upgraded version of all products currently owned for 50% of the current list price at the time of the upgrade purchase.
	You may then purchase a new Annual Maintenance Plan to cover the upgraded product for any number of years, based on the above pricing.
	The new expiration date will be based on the purchase date of the upgrade.
