With pay to stay and donation, ITS-CI will still only continue to provide basic troubleshooting and management of the node for free. If the node fails or has hardware issues, it is on the node owner to decide if they wish to repair the node at a cost or decommission and dispose of the node.
For pay to stay, yearly racking fees will be collected in March. Nodes that go off warranty outside of March, will be charged a prorated amount for the first partial year in order to put them on a collection schedule of March of each year. Node owners of multiple-nodes, may work with ITS-CI to create a custom payment schedule.
