    2. commit appropriate resources to the provision of Higher-Level Support;
    3. where Help Desk Support is not provided within the relevant Service Level response time and the User escalates its Support Request to an individual of appropriate qualification or experience on the Contact List, provide Higher-Level Support;

  4. Quikk, in consultation with the user on the content and billing, may reasonably determine that particular service(s) fall under the Out of Scope Services realm. Upon such determination by both parties, a solution to the particular service(s) agreed to under Out of Scope Service(s) may be provided by Quikk with consent from the user.
  5. The User acknowledges that Quikk is not obliged to provide Out-of-scope Services.
