Touchtown strives to provide our customers with the highest level of system uptime as possible. Occasionally, it is necessary to perform regular routine and emergency maintenance on our servers, networks and fielded hardware. To make these downtimes as convenient as possible for customers, Touchtown generally performs normal maintenance during a Normal System Maintenance Period (NSMP). This period is scheduled for off hours and Touchtown is dedicated to performing these tasks during late evenings or on weekends when it is less likely to disrupt the customer.

Emergency changes that require service outages are not scheduled and are implemented at the discretion of Touchtown. In the event of an emergency service outage, Touchtown will attempt to notify customers as soon as possible. If a change is critical or urgent, advanced notification may not be sent.

9) Warranty

We provide a 36 month warranty that is limited to free repair or replacement (at our option) of any Deliverable manufactured by or for Touchtown including the Broadcaster components of your TV+ and/or Digital Sign Deliverables if any. Other hardware deliverables, including but not limited to interactive display hardware and insertion equipment sold by Touchtown, are covered by their respective manufacturers’ warranties if any. Device failures resulting from physical impact or misuse, are not covered by this or any other warranty. Touchtown reserves the right to determine and classify the cause of a device failure. We will ship you replacement devices via standard overnight courier service if your system is down and you are under warranty, otherwise via ground or 2nd day air at our option. We will pay shipping charges for devices covered under warranty. You are responsible for physically replacing the replacement devices that we ship to you, with guidance from us over the phone and internet if necessary. You may request onsite service, which we will provide at our currently prevailing labor rates plus reasonable travel costs.

You own the Deliverables that we provide to you except for any software components of the Deliverables (“Software”) which we license to you. If we replace any Deliverables under this Agreement and ask you to return the defective items, your ownership immediately transfers to the new items we provide to you, and ownership of the old returned items transfers to us.

The warranty period begins on the date we ship the product to you or 120 days after the date of this Agreement, whichever is sooner. At the expiration of this initial warranty, we will offer you a Hardware Upgrade, including new hardware and new 36 month warranty at our then-current price and under our then-current terms and conditions.
