2. General scope of Customer Support Services

2.1 Service Request and Response Procedures

If You encounter an Issue with the Applications, Your Support Contact must submit a service request via the Website or Our designated toll-free telephone number or designated email address. We will respond to service requests during the Hours of Operation. You must work closely with Us to provide reproducible results for any such Issues reported. Hours of Operation and response times may vary occasionally due to system and server maintenance and events beyond Our control.

Our ability to assist with Issues will depend, in some cases, on the ability of Your Support Contact to provide Us with accurate and detailed information, and to conduct diagnostics and testing.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an initial response to Your support request, and follow-up response to Your Issues, in accordance with the response times specified in Your Support Option.

We have the right to use any resolution delivery method (‘Resolution’) available to resolve an Issue.

Resolution of any Issue which We provide in the form of a release of Our Applications will address an Issue only with respect to the most current release of the Applications and, in Our sole discretion, the most recent previous sequential release.

2.2 Severity Classifications

Upon receipt of a properly submitted service request, We will assign a case number for each service request, and prioritize and assign each Issue with a severity level (‘Severity Level’) as specified below:

‘Severity 1 (S1)’ — A severity one (1) Issue is a catastrophic production problem within the Applications which severely impacts Your systems, or in which Your systems are down or not functioning or You have lost Your Data.
‘Severity 2 (S2)’ — A severity two (2) Issue is a problem within the Applications where Your system is functioning but in a severely reduced capacity. The situation is causing significant impact to portions of Your business operations and productivity. The system is exposed to potential loss or interruption of service. Issues existing in a non-production environment that would otherwise qualify as a severity one (1) Issue qualify as a severity two (2) Issue.
‘Severity 3 (S3)’ — A severity three (3) Issue is a medium-to-low impact problem which involves partial non-critical functionality loss which impairs some operations but allows Your operation to continue to function. This may be a minor Issue with limited loss or no loss of functionality or impact to Your operation and Issues in which there is an easy circumvention or avoidance by the end user.
‘Severity 4 (S4)’ — A severity four (4) Issue is for a general usage question or Issue that may be cosmetic in nature or documentation related whereby Our Applications will work without any functional limitation.
‘Enhancement Request (ER)’ — An enhancement request is a recommendation for future product enhancement or modification to add official support and documentation for unsupported, undocumented features that do not exist in the Applications. We will take ERs into consideration in the product management process, but We have no obligation to deliver enhancements based on any ER.

In the event that You reasonably believe that You have an S1 Issue, Your Principal Support Contact must notify Us within an appropriate timeframe so as to not delay Our ability to work to provide a Resolution. The Principal Support Contact must use all reasonable efforts to provide Us with all necessary personnel and information to accurately troubleshoot the Issue.

2.3. Issue Escalation

Your Principal Support Contact Is The Only Support Contact That Can Escalate An Issue To Priority Status Unless The Issue Represents A Severity 1 (S1) Issue.

Severity 1 Issues Must Be Submitted, In English, Using The 24×7 Phone Number Provided.

We will use continuous efforts during the Hours of Operation to provide a Resolution for any Severity 1 Issue.

We will escalate any unresolved Issues to the appropriate level to achieve Resolution of Your Issue in accordance with Your chosen Support Option.

(e)Escalation times are contingent upon Your technical staff availability and will only accrue during efforts made by Us within the Hours of Operation.

3. Platform Support Requirements

With each new release of the Applications, We will make available to You a list of minimum platform and output channel requirements for that specific release (‘Platform Support Requirements’) .

The Platform Support Requirements are listed on Our Website.

The scope of Your Customer Support Services shall be limited to, and We shall have no obligation to support any applications other than unmodified Applications utilized in a technical environment meeting the Platform Support Requirements.

Issues encountered when running the Applications in a technical environment not meeting the Platform Support Requirements or modified by You or through a professional services engagement, must be reproduced on Our unmodified Applications in an environment which meets the Platform Support Requirements.

4. Resources

You may access through Our Website all relevant forums, solutions or knowledgebase articles, documentation, release information, and software downloads which We make generally available to Our users.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide forum-level support.

The forums do not provide Issue tracking or guaranteed response.

All Issues must be submitted by telephone, email, or submission via the Website.

5. Limitations

(a)The Following Are Not Included In The Scope Of Your Customer Support Services:

Assistance in developing or debugging Your operating system or system tools
