This Services Statement generally describes all managed services provided by Helix Systems; however, only those services described in the Quote will be provided to you (collectively, the “Services”).  Activities or items that are not specifically described in the Quote will be out of scope and will not be provided to you unless otherwise agreed to by us in writing.

Ongoing / Recurring Services 

Ongoing/recurring services are services that are provided to you on an ongoing basis and, unless otherwise indicated in a Quote, are billed to you monthly. Ongoing services generally begin upon the completion of onboarding services; therefore, any delays or interruptions to the onboarding services may delay the commencement of ongoing/recurring services.

Additional Description of Services 

The following additional details are intended to further explain and define the scope of our Services. 

  

Managed Backup & Replication Service 

Note: Data on equipment that is not specifically listed in the Quote will not be backed up. 

  • Storage Limitation: Client will be allocated storage space for backup and recovery purposes as listed in the Quote. The costs of any additional space required or requested by Client will be listed in the Quote.
