\r\n 11. Database Amendments
\r\n \r\n (i) The System is not a simple database maintenance application and relies upon the\r\n database reflecting its internal logic, so database amendments can have far reaching and\r\n extremely serious consequences.\r\n
\r\n \r\n (ii) ACCQRATE can only provide support for the System if its database integrity remains\r\n inviolate. It is imperative that users do not execute any SQL commands on the System\r\n database or use any external tools to edit the database without first obtaining specific\r\n clearance through SYNCHRO Support.

\r\n 12. License Fee
\r\n \r\n ACCQRATE will levy an annual or quarterly license fee (per operating site). The Client\r\n shall sign a specific contract to this effect at the date of placing the initial order\r\n for the System.

\r\n \r\n (ii) The helpline shall be available to any duly instructed employee of the Client who\r\n holds a user certificate issued by ACCQRATE (or an agent thereof) so long as the Client\r\n has paid the appropriate license fee and any other non-disputed invoices from ACCQRATE\r\n or its appointed agents.\r\n
\r\n \r\n (iii) Under certain situations technical support requires direct control over a computer\r\n that has access to the software's database. This access is normally provided by a\r\n remote desktop connection. It is a specific condition of technical support that a remote\r\n link be setup to allow this type of access. Due to international time zones this access\r\n may have to be available at unattended times.\r\n
\r\n 14. Periodic Software Updates
