Please be aware that the software installed on the Customer’s server or networked workstation will be configured to send information to a central server and as such the access to this software is limited to guest access by the end user.
    2. If Preferred Meter Reading Method overleaf is selected as “Auto”, the Customer authorises FXBCSC to install such software on to their preferred server or networked workstation.

    3. The Customer agrees to keep the server or networked workstation on which the software is installed powered on and connected to the Equipment via the Customer’s network at all times, except during network outages and routine network maintenance and not to disable, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise interfere with the operation of the software.
