------
It is Baan's practice to charge by the hour, for convenience we indicate in
parenthesis what the charge would be for an eight hour day. All quotes should be
done using the hourly rate.
Minimum time: In general, we do not accept work of less than one day duration.
------------
If requested by the customer, and agreed upon by Baan, this work will be a
custom quote.
Custom Modification: Charges above do not apply for developing interface
--------------------
programs to software or hardware not directly provided by BAAN, this work will
be a custom quote.
Travel & Living Costs: In addition to above rates, there are charges for travel
---------------------
and living expenses as incurred (hotel, meals, travel costs, etc.) Travel time
is considered billable time, from consultant's home to customer site billed at
50% of hourly rate. Customer may request a per diem charge. Baan is willing to
negotiate a per diem for long term assignments. Baan's policy for per diem rates
is to follow IRS guidelines.
Remote Support: All support provided remotely from consultant home office or
---------------
Baan office will be surcharged by $60/hour to account for long distance/fax
charges. This charge is in addition to the hourly consulting fee and is a
blended rate to cover cell phone charges, long distance direct dial charges, fax
charges, and home office secretarial support.
Discounting of Services: It is Baan's policy to NOT discount Consulting
-------------------------
Services and Training fees, except for the following situations;
- Consulting Package is paid up front in increments of $250K, and charges
deducted from prepaid account When balance is used, rates go back to list
price or account must be replenished. 10% discount available for prepayment.
- Resource utilization of 5 billable days per week guaranteed for a period of
six months for one resource. If resource is used after that period with no
additional lock-in, rate reverts to list price. Discount only applies to each
consulting level guaranteed, at 10% off list.
Rate Increases: Baan reserves the right to modify consulting and training rates
--------------
with 90 days notice. We will not agree to cap rates for the duration of a
contract or to a minimum level per year. Any forced negotiation of this type
will have a direct impact on the quality of resource Baan is able to provide on
the implementation team. It is Baan's general policy to modify rates on an
annual basis.
