PROTOCOL AND RULES FOR ACCESS TO SGIker

USER OR CLIENT SERVICE

The client or user service is provided in the first instance by the technical staff responsible for the service and by their specialist advisor.
Users or applicants may also approach and send queries to other SGIker staff involved in resolving problems or incidents via the web page www.ehu.eus/sgiker/en, in the contact section, or using the telephone number and e-mail address to be found in the Team section.
The user or client service will respond to all enquiries, queries or requests for further information about services provided and conditions for use of the technology available. It can also supply information about any applications, complaints and claims through the suggestion box available on the web page.

APPLICATION FOR SERVICES AND FORMS OF PAYMENT

Application for services
Applications for service must be made through each Unit's web page, using the space reserved for Application for Service. There they will find an application form to use, which they should e-mail or hand over to the technical staff of the service, or they may apply on line, depending on each case.
If they do not have access to e-mail or the internet, they can ask the technical staff for assistance, as pointed out above.
By making an application for service, a user accepts the current rates applicable in each case, the current rules for access to SGIker and each Unit or Service's specific rules for access.
Once the application has been made, the SGIker expert will contact the applicant in order to establish the conditions for use of the service and send them a quotation for the work requested, if applicable.

Requirements and documents
Applicants from the UPV/EHU must meet the necessary requirements for use of the technology and services available. The requirements for access are linked to authorisation by principal researchers and those in charge of projects for the use and contracting of services, with the authorisation necessary for access to technology, with a specification of the work to be done, the type of user and the beneficiary of the results obtained. These requirements will determine the type of current rate to be applied.
In any case, SGIker staff may request documentary evidence in order to assess the above criteria and establish the type of user.

Applicable rates and forms of payment
In applying for a service and accepting the quotation issued, the user or body making the application undertakes to effect payment of the amounts stated on the quotation or the published rates for the service.
Applicable rates are as published on the web page of each Service or Unit.
