Welcome. TMA’s on-line service, WebTMA, is intended for use only by authorized users who subscribe to the service.  The term “you” or “your” refers to the individual or legal entity, as applicable, that registers for and/or uses the Service. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with these terms, you must not use the Service.  As part of the Service, TMA will provide an interface to your browser as well as data encryption, transmission, access, and storage. Your registration for, or use of, the Service shall be deemed to be your agreement to abide by this Agreement.

You must provide TMA with a valid credit card number or purchase order information as a condition to signing up for the Service.

Customer Service Level Agreement.  The expected service level for WebTMA is 99.8% up-time. This excludes problems caused by you or by non-TMA service providers. 

 

WebTMA is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week except for periods when it is unavailable for scheduled maintenance of the software, hardware, network, or other service components. You will be notified at least 24 hours before any scheduled maintenance is performed. Scheduled maintenance is never performed during Normal Business Hours. Normal Business Hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm CST Monday through Friday.

 

WebTMA is considered to be down if the Internet connection is down for a period greater than 60 minutes. Since connection involves multiple, redundant links to multiple upstream providers, this means that ALL connections are unavailable for that period.

 

For each single outage that is greater than 60 minutes, WebTMA clients will receive credit for one day of all applicable charges (one-thirtieth of the applicable monthly service charge adjusted by any discounts). A maximum of 7 days of credit is available during any one calendar month. Credit is not available if failure is due to: a fault in your data; a fault outside the WebTMA network; scheduled maintenance; customer acts or omissions; and circumstances beyond TMA’s reasonable control. Additionally, you will not receive credits for any period in which you received the services at no cost.  If you are entitled to receive credits in any calendar month, the total amount credited to you in connection with any failure shall not exceed the monthly recurring charges otherwise payable by you in such calendar month. If you pay on an annual basis, the daily credit will be based on the annual software amount divided by 365. The credit provided shall be your sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by TMA Systems to provide WebTMA or adequate service level including, but not limited to, any outages or network congestion. Credits will be calculated from the total monthly software charge from the month the outage occurred. In order to receive credit as stated above, you must notify TMA Systems within 7 days from the time you become eligible to receive such credits.

 

Termination.  TMA, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account, or use of the Service and remove and discard any Data within the Service if you fail to comply with this Agreement. You may terminate your user membership upon notice to TMA at any time. Upon termination, you will be granted a refund of any prepaid charges for the remaining term of your subscription starting one month from receipt of your notice. TMA shall make available a file of your Data, provided that you request the Data file within (30) days of termination. In addition, TMA may terminate your account if you do not first log-on within 30 days after registration or 90 days since your last log-on. Upon termination of an account, your right to use such account and the Service immediately ceases. TMA shall have no obligation to maintain any Data stored in your account or to forward any Data to you or any third party, other than that provided for above.
