1.1 Assumptions

IT Integrity makes the following assumptions:

1. IT Integrity assumes that the solution will be approved and delivered within the timeframes detailed within this proposal and scope of works. IT Integrity reserves the right to re-evaluate and provide a variation to the budget detailed in section 2, “Financial” should the timeframes change for any reason.
2. IT Integrity assumes installation will take place during normal business hours. If after hours work is required, this will need to be pre-arranged and a different hourly rate will apply.
3. IT Integrity assumes that all client supplied equipment and/or services which require any configuration in association with this proposal and scope of works, will be available and in good working order at the scheduled implementation time at the client’s site for the complete duration of this proposal and scope of works.
4. In the event that the said client supplied equipment and/or services which require any configuration in association with this proposal and scope of works are not on site for the duration of this proposal and scope of works, the client will incur additional costs if the said client supplied equipment and/or services are to be configured at an alternative time.
5. IT Integrity assumes all software, licensing, equipment and/or services supplied by the client in association with this proposal and scope of works will be available prior to and during the IT Integrity resource attendance for the duration of this proposal scope of works.

8. IT Integrity assumes that all necessary network and power outlets for this proposal and scope of works are in place and that any additional network/power outlets required will not be included as part of this proposal and scope of works and will therefore be charged separately unless otherwise specified.
9. IT Integrity assumes that the client will be responsible for performing two full and validated backups of all relevant data in association of this proposal and scope of works prior to the commencement of this proposal and scope of works. Upon request, IT Integrity can assist with regards to recommendations of what data is required to be backed up, based on the chosen options and the existing backup solution that the client currently has in place.
10. IT Integrity will attempt to transfer as much knowledge as possible to the client’s staff during the implementation of this proposal and scope of works. IT Integrity, however, accepts no responsibility for the client staff’s ability to retain the knowledge.
    Any on site or off-site assistance requested/performed in addition to that stated within this proposal and scope of works, will be a separate support requirement and hence attract associated labour costs.

IT Integrity assumes that all necessary telecommunication links, including internet links and telephone services required for the proposed solution will be in place prior to the commencement of this proposal and scope of works, unless otherwise specifically included within this proposal and scope of works.
12. IT Integrity assumes that is it the responsibility of the client to determine the required bandwidth needed to provide a suitable connection to any internet facing service or client, required to support the client’s business operations. However, IT Integrity may advise on the appropriate connection.
