This offering is available only for subscription-based PBXs (1 month/ 1 year/ 5 years).

HWaaS Terms of license

All services related to the same PBX have the same terms and expiration date.

E.g. if you have a PBX with yearly licenses, same terms are applied to CLASSOUND and/ or HWaaS ordered for this PBX. If you have a PBX with monthly licenses, same terms are applied to CLASSOUND and/ or HWaaS ordered for this PBX. This means, for example, you cannot have a monthly service (such as CLASSOUND or HWaaS) applied to a PBX which has yearly licenses.

Example: you activate a PBX with yearly licenses in May 2020: expiration will be in May 2021. You order CLASSOUND for that PBX in August 2020. In this case, CLASSOUND will expire the same date as the PBX: May 2021, and the cost will be prorated to the effective period (August 2020 - May 2021). The same rules apply to monthly and 5 year services. This means, the expiration date is always the same for the PBX and the services connected to that PBX.
