ENGINEERING SERVICES (“BLOCK HOURS”)

The Davenport Group Care Advise and Assist offering qualifies for forty (40) hours of skilled Engineering resource time (“Block hours”). The Davenport Group Care Advise offering does not include this value-add benefit.

The Engineering Services are provided via several service channels:

Engineering Service hours may be utilized in half hour increments by our Client.  Actual service time expended is rounded up to the next half-hour increment. 

These services are valid for only those Manufacturer products designated as in-Scope in the executed Statement of Work.

The forty (40) Block Hours are valid for one (1) year from the execution of the initial Davenport Group Care Advise and Assist SOW and will be forfeited if not used within this period of time. if Davenport Group Care Advise and Assist renews for subsequent periods, un-used Block hours do not “roll over” or accumulate for each renewal period. In these cases, a new set of forty (40) Block Hours would be applicable.  

Additional service hours requested by our Client in excess of the available block of hours, will require the purchase of additional block hours in advance of said services being performed.

If Engineering Services work requires a more detailed work effort, product and/or solutions not covered under this offering, and/or additional documentation beyond simple correspondence, a separate Statement of Work (SOW), outlining scope, cost and timeline estimates, will need to be completed and signed by the Client and Davenport Group.

Service Performance – Scheduled Service

Davenport Group’s Engineering Services are designed to be a scheduled technology assistance service.  Whether our Client is scheduling well in advance, or on very short notice, Davenport Group’s Engineering Services are scheduled and delivered on a first-come, first served, best-effort basis.  The Client should not hold expectations for utilizing Engineering Service hours for immediate or emergency response. In those situations, Davenport Group will certainly make a best effort to help our Client out.

Davenport Group is responsible for providing the solution and/or services documented as required by our Client and agreed upon by both parties for these Engineering Services.  Davenport Group will meet the documented Client requirements within the scope of capability as described herein.

Normal business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local Client time.  Services will be performed during normal business hours, unless mutually agreed upon.

Mutually agreed upon work scheduled outside normal business hours will be billed at one and a half (1.5) times the hours used; the available hours in the contract will be reduced by the one and a half (1.5) hour rate.  

Our Client is responsible for compliance with all software or hardware licensing agreements, regulatory and legal requirements.  Davenport Group does not assume responsibility for data maintained on any and all systems upon which work is to be performed.  It is the responsibility of our Client to ensure that a complete and recent backup of all data exists.  In no event will Davenport Group be held liable for any data loss whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, lost savings, or other incidental or consequential damage arising out of or in connection with this agreement.
