5. 3.5 This Clause 3.5 applies after the Client has accepted the terms and conditions given by HSC PARTNERSHIP LLP and for so long as the Client has paid the Charges.

The Client warrants that the Client Representative is competent at using and managing systems like the Client Health and Safety Companion
6. 3.6 If the Client notifies HSC PARTNERSHIP LLP of a problem that the Client is having with the Client Health and Safety Companion: If the problem is due to a Health and Safety Companion defect, HSC PARTNERSHIP LLP will take reasonable commercial steps to investigate that problem and to resolve it in accordance with the Maintenance and Support Service Levels. HSC PARTNERSHIP LLP will promptly notify the Client if it believes that it will not be able to resolve the problem in accordance with those service levels. If the problem is not a Health and Safety Companion defect (whether that is known at the outset or is shown to be the case later), HSC PARTNERSHIP LLP will take reasonable commercial steps to investigate it and to either fix it or reduce its impact, but it does not give any commitment that it will do so in accordance with the Maintenance and Support Service Levels and the Client will pay for this work at HSC Partnership's then current rates.
