Common use of Trouble Reports Clause in Contracts

Trouble Reports. From time to time, failures in, or degradation of, Products may cause services provided by the System to be ad- versely affected. It is necessary that immediate assistance be provided by the Vendor to allow the Owner to restore the affected service. Critical ser- vice outages that cannot be resolved by the Owner's field technicians or techni- cal support engineers using procedures described in the Operating Manuals, Maintenance and Instruction Manuals and Training will be transmitted to the Vendor as a Trouble Report ("TR"). The Vendor will assign an identi- fying number to each TR to aid in tracking its resolution. TRs will be imme- diately addressed by the Vendor through Emergency Technical Assistance under guidelines set forth in subsection 2.26.3. TRs may not be considered conclud- ed until the solution is concurred upon by an employee of the Owner within the Owner's operations control center ("OCC"). The root cause of problems re- sulting in TRs may be Defects or Deficiencies which must be corrected through Product or procedure changes. Problems with the System requiring such changes will be referred to the Vendor for action through a Customer Ser- vice Request ("CSR"). The Vendor is authorized by the Owner to install and integrate, at the Vendor's expense, any Software Upgrade or Software Enhancement pursuant to mutual agreements reached between the Vendor and the Owner.
