	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>When are coverage terms considered phased, when non-phased?</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Template coverage terms are phased if the number of periods and the period unit are filled, otherwise they are considered non-phased.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Contract/warranty coverage terms are phased if the start date and the end date are defined, otherwise they are considered non-phased.</ListItem>
		</List>
	</GeneralSection>
	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Using phased terms vs. non-phased terms</SectionTitle>
		<List><ListIntro>Use phased coverage terms if you want to define periodical ceilings, for example:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Ceilings on consumables (only n toners per quarter for a copier)</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Ceilings on number of calls (only n calls per quarter)</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>Use non-phased coverage terms if the coverage of a term must be considered for the entire period for which the configuration line is valid.</Paragraph>
	</GeneralSection>
	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>What happens when a template is copied to a contract?</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph>If you copy a template to a contract and the template header duration is less then the contract renewal duration, the template coverage terms will be made proportional to the contract duration for non-phased coverage terms.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>Example:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Template header duration: 1 year</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Contract renewal duration: 2 years</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Non-phased template coverage term ceiling: 1000 Euros</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Resulting coverage term ceiling on contract: 2000 Euros</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>If the template you copy contains a phased coverage term, the coverage term on the contract will be phased as well.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>Example:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Template header duration: 1 year</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Contract renewal duration: 1 year</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Template coverage term: 1 month</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Resulting number of coverage terms on contract: 12</ListItem>
