Late fee and $25 penalty will be assessed for NSF checks as well.

domain) full access administrator account on Client’s computers/ network equipment and other covered devices. That account will be used by our engineers and digital software to update, support, patch and protect your covered systems. If you change the password of the user account we created, change its name or password, we will not be able to perform most of the services listed in this agreement. This means we will also need remote access to your computers and will maintain access to your computers to perform services included in this agreement. This access will give us administrative rights, which means we will have th eability to modify aspects of your computer. We might remove any existing protection programs from covered
devices, including (but not limited to) Anti-Virus and Anti Malware programs, to install our own industry approved solutions. In many cases we must use our own provided protection programs to be able to get the needed alerts from your devices in case of issues at Company’s sole discretion.

Company staff must receive full access to the computer(s) and/or peripheral(s) to be serviced, access to the premises, your consent and cooperation to enter your residence or business that need to be serviced, and a safe working environment, working space and electrical power. If our technician arrives at the scheduled service time and determines that he/she does not reasonably have the access, cooperation, or safe working area described in the previous sentence, services may be denied and a one hour service-equal cancellation charge and any travel charges will be assessed. For on-site services, a person of at least 18 years of age must be present during the entire period services are provided. If our technician

14) COMPANY-OWNED AND EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPUTER
Computers used by anyone to access your company information and/or connected to the company network must be approved by our team prior to connecting or accessing any company information, including
webmail, cloud services, etc.
1. The fear is that the source computers might have key-loggers, spyware or other ways for hackers to track those activities, and therefor- expose the credentials and other information saved/ typed on that computer.
2. Computers will be approved by our team if they follow the below requirements.
a. At time of onboarding a computer, all computers must have a fresh installation of the operating system (we might need to reinstall the operating system and all programs).
1. We might waive this requirement if the computer was professionally managed, secured, protected and maintained by another MSP/ IT provider until the time we’re scheduled to on-board that device.
b. All computers must be installed with ONLY legal, up to date software (operating system, 3rd party software, firmware, drivers).
1. It is a federal offense to use home-level licenses in a business environment in many cases.
2. It is a major security risk to use out of date or non-supported operating system, software or drivers.
c. All computers must be using business-grade (as opposed to home-grade) components/ parts/ hardware.
1. We might waive this requirement if requested, on a case-by-case basis, based on the hardware used.
2. Home-grade hardware / cheap computers are known to cause lots of hardware and software corruption/ issues and therefor – diagnostics and troubleshooting time on our end, causing our clients and our engineers’ downtime.
3. Repeating issues on low-end or old hardware may be billable once we performed the needed troubleshooting and advised you that the hardware needs to be updated/ replaced due to age or proven or know hardware compatibility or issues.
d. All computers must be covered under manufacturer or other 3rd party warranty OR the computer must be less than 4 years old.
1. We might waive that requirement if the hardware on that computer is business-grade and passes hardware tests upon onboarding and is in good physical condition.
e. Admin rights will be given only to our engineers, on all computers
1. We can provide one dedicated Admin user account to your management, to be used only in case of emergency.
2. This will drastically assist with preventing users from mistakenly infecting their computers with viruses or make drastic changes that were not approved by our team.
3. This is one of the major cyber security insurance requirements, and one of the main ways to help prevent infections.
f. When connecting from locations other than your main office (where you have a business-grade router that allows us to track, monitor and retain the network traffic logs), we will not be able to track logs in case of a breach.
1. If you would like to have that ability and follow cyber security recommendations, you must purchase (or rent) an appropriate router that allows log tracking/ monitoring/ retention.
2. Additional fees may apply to add additional routers and track them/ monitor and retain their logs.
g. All hard drives that contain client information, company data, cookies / web access information, memorized passwords, etc. – must be encrypted using any of the industry standards encryption methods.
h. All computers must be password-protected with a minimum 12-character password for all users who are set up on that computer (in case of a shared computer).
3. Computers/ phones/ devices connected to a dedicated / separated GUEST NETWORK at your office, are excluded from these requirements, UNLESS they are used to access company information, like emails, cloud services, VPN, etc.

15) HARDWARE PROCUREMENT TERMS:
All hardware and software sales are final. Installation and/or configuration are normally billable. Refer to your monthly plan agreement and your hardware / software invoices for specific information. Older versions of software may not be compatible with the latest version of your operating system and may require an upgrade of your software, which may incur additional costs. For products bought through Gallop Technology Group with the manufacturer’s warranty, the client is responsible for registering the hardware with the manufacturer for warranty purposes. A valid credit card or ACH is required for equipment orders, and you will be billed the agreed-upon amount at the time of ordering.

16) USER, NETWORK SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements are for all users who access your company information at any capacity:
1. All cloud solutions that have the ability to be protected with two-factor-authentication, must have that feature
enabled and forced for all users/ all qualified services and providers.
2. All employees should participate in ongoing cyber training and take the included quizzes we provide.
a. Participation of all employees in cyber training is a requirement from most insurance providers as well.
b. We provide this service included in this monthly plan. We highly recommend you force it internally to all your users and track their participation.
c. Failure to have your staff participate in ongoing training drastically increase the risk of a breach.
3. All employees should report any “out of the ordinary” issues, alerts or popups on their computer, immediately to Gallop Technology Group.
4. Remote access to any cloud solution or remote office must be either thru a VPN tunnel, or a secured SSL connection (HTTPS:// solution).
5. Passwords should NEVER be saved on a web browser, Excel file, Word document or other non-secured methods.
a. A password manager is the best solution to securely keep track of passwords and allow easy usage of unique, complex, and long passwords for each program/ service/ cloud solution you use.
