Moves / Adds / Changes (MAC) Definition

“Moves, Adds, or Changes” (“MAC”) means any Client-requested or Client-necessitated action that requires Provider to implement, modify, remove, reconfigure, or execute changes to any user, device, system, application, service, configuration, permission, security control, or data within the Client environment beyond routine monitoring, oversight, administration, and maintenance.

MACs constitute execution labor and are not included in recurring fees unless expressly stated in a Service Order.

  • Provisioning, onboarding, or removal of users

  • Provisioning, configuration, replacement, or removal of devices

  • Changes to access rights, roles, licenses, policies, or security controls

  • System, application, network, or identity configuration changes

  • Implementation of new services, features, integrations, or workflows

  • Modifications required due to Client organizational, staffing, or operational changes

MACs do not include:

  • Passive monitoring and alerting

  • Routine system health checks

  • License tracking and compliance monitoring

  • Documentation maintenance

  • Advisory, planning, or strategic guidance

  • Vendor coordination or escalation

Billing & Classification

Unless expressly included in a Service Order:

  • MACs are billable professional services

  • MACs may be billed on a time-and-materials, prepaid, or project basis

  • Provider may classify MACs as standard or complex based on scope, risk, or effort required


Automation

Provider may utilize automation to perform MACs. The use of automation does not alter the classification or billability of a MAC unless expressly stated in writing.


Authority

Provider will perform MACs only upon authorization from Client’s designated representative.
