Training of Principal Services Contacts. Before a Primary Services Contact interfaces with Itron support personnel, he/she will attend training sessions offered by Itron, an Itron-approved trainer, or Customer’s training program approved by Itron to ensure that the Primary Services Contact is (i) knowledgeable about operation of the applicable Covered Products, and (ii) qualified to perform problem determination and remedial functions with respect to such Covered Products. Customer may perform Itron- approved training or may engage Itron to perform training of Primary Services Contacts at Itron’s then current rates. Itron will make training sessions available by remote video conference or training will be made available at a location or in a manner mutually agreed by the Parties. Customer shall be responsible for all Customer’s associated travel- related expenses and, if the Parties agree that training will be provided at a location other than an Itron-designated facility (e.g., at a Customer-proposed facility), Customer will also reimburse Itron’s travel-related expenses. The Primary Services Contacts must have the skills and capabilities to train other Customer personnel on Covered Products. Itron may update Covered Product training from time to time and, upon receiving notice of such updates from Itron, Customer shall promptly provide such training to its Primary Services Contacts in accordance with this Section.
