Software Operating Environment
7 TourTools® is written to operate in FileMaker/Claris environment on a Windows server and on Windows or Apple workstations.

9 A copy of FileMaker/Claris Pro installed on each computer in compliance with the FileMaker/Claris Pro licensing agreement.
10 The OWNER cannot warrant or guarantee the performance of TourTools® on any computer whether or not it meets these specifications due to the uncertain nature of the interaction among other software loaded on the computer or available on the USER’S network, or due to variations in computer hardware. The OWNER’S support staff will make reasonable efforts to assist the USER with the diagnosis and solution to problems related to networks, hardware and software interaction but the responsibility for those solutions is the sole responsibility of the USER.
INSTALLATION & TRAINING
11 The OWNER agrees to install the TourTools® software on the agreed upon date provided deposits have been received. TourTools® Online pages will be installed by the agreed upon date provided USER has set up a web server in accordance with the specifications on the FileMaker/Claris website. The USER will provide access to the computer network and an experienced computer network technician (on call for network issues) so that the software can be installed and personalized for the USER. The personalization process is limited to the addition of the USER’S name, address, and company logo and phone numbers to appropriate database layouts. Additional training is available at either on-line or onsite according to the fee structure agreed upon. The hours of service for each day shall not exceed 10 hours, including travel time and breaks.

TourTools® License Extension – TourTools® Online
This document is an Addendum to the Licensing Agreement entered into by DataVast Technologies (OWNER) and USER and DATE. The TourTools® Online software solution consists of FileMaker/Claris files, PHP and HTML/Javascript files. All Terms and Conditions of the TourTools® License remain intact unless they are specifically amended by this document.
The purpose of these files is to connect pages of the USER’S web site with the TourTools® files hosted in the USER’S office. The function of this connection is to enable visitors to the USER’S web site to interact with the TourTools® databases. Specifically, it will enable visitors to review itineraries published in TourTools® on UESER’s web site, make a reservation on a group tour, make a payment for the reservation and review group leader reports.
There will be a review and revision period as each part of the site is presented to the USER. USER will be permitted to make changes to the look and function of the web pages at this time. USER acknowledges that additions to the project or significant changes to the functions as outlined in this document or design may require additional fees. Changes to the functionality of the system after programming has been completed that exceed what can be reasonably considered “fine-tuning” may also be subject to additional fees.
There will be a period of acceptance extending through the period of time 2 months after the first group tour itinerary is made accessible to travelers on USERS’ web site. During this period USER must notify OWNER of any issues of functionality or design that are not in compliance with this document. In the absence of such notification, the project will be considered complete.
