  • Updates: As part of Support, CUSTOMER may receive, at no additional charge and applicable only to the Product(s) licensed by CUSTOMER, new versions of Software that contain bug fixes, error corrections and minor enhancements (“Updates”), but do not contain major enhancements or significant new functionality, as defined by BAYATREE at its discretion and which BAYATREE may make generally available to BAYATREE customers.

  • Error Corrections: As part of Support, BAYATREE will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any verifiable and reproducible failure of the unmodified Products to materially conform to the specifications for such Products (“Error”). This does not include any failure of the Products that: (a) results from a use of the Products not in conformity with BAYATREE’ documentation; (b) results from failure to maintain maintenance and support processes set forth in the documentation; (c) does not materially affect the operation and use of the Products; (d) results from any modification to the Products not made or authorized by BAYATREE or (e) results from the failure to incorporate or use any Upgrades or Updates made available to CUSTOMER by BAYATREE.

All Error corrections will be worked on by BAYATREE remotely at the Designated Service Centers without modification to the Products.
  • Telephone and Email Support: As part of Support, BAYATREE will provide telephone and email support to CUSTOMER with respect to CUSTOMER’s use of the Products through BAYATREE’ support line during the Normal Business Hours.

Exclusions
BAYATREE has no obligation to provide any Support relating to problems with the Products that result from; (a) electrical, network or hardware problems that are external to the Products; (b) any modifications of the Software not made or authorized by BAYATREE; (c) accident, negligence, or misuse of the Products or use of the Products not in conformity with the Documentation; or (d) operation of the Products outside of recommended specifications. In addition, BAYATREE has no obligation to provide Support that involves (e) furnishing supplies or accessories, (f) relocating the Products or (g) adding, maintaining, or removing equipment, attachments, or other devices. CUSTOMER will pay BAYATREE for any support and other services BAYATREE provides to CUSTOMER under this Section 2.1 at BAYATREE’s then-current time and material rates in accordance with the Support Agreement.

Response Times
All Support is provided based on CUSTOMER’s reporting of Errors or making Support requests to the Designated Service Centers. BAYATREE’ response times will be commensurate with the severity of the Error being experienced by the CUSTOMER as follows:

  • Priority Level 1 – Used for those Errors in which the entire Products are not operational in a production environment. BAYATREE shall respond to CUSTOMER within two (2) hours during Normal Business Hours. BAYATREE shall either resolve the Error or communicate a reasonable workaround or approach for diagnosing and resolving the Error within twenty four (24) hours of CUSTOMER’s reporting of the Error during Normal Business Hours (for example, where CUSTOMER notifies BAYATREE of the Error at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, BAYATREE will either resolve or propose a workaround by 4 p.m. on Wednesday. If the call is received on 4 p.m. on Friday, BAYATREE will either resolve or propose a workaround by 4 p.m. on the following Monday). When a workaround is the resolution, the problem will be changed to a Priority Level 3 for resolution.
  • Priority Level 2 – Used for those Errors in a production environment in which a major Products feature/function is not operational and is creating a material inconvenience for CUSTOMER. BAYATREE shall respond to CUSTOMER within four (4) hours during Normal Business Hours, and within forty-eight (48) hours of CUSTOMER’s reporting of the Error during Normal Business Hours either resolve the Error or communicate a reasonable workaround or approach for diagnosing and resolving the Error. When a workaround is the resolution, the problem will be changed to a Priority Level 3 for resolution.
  • Priority Level 3 – Used for those Errors in which a non-critical Products feature/function is not operational or is not conforming to specifications in a production environment, but a system or manual workaround is possible. BAYATREE shall respond to CUSTOMER within two (2) business days and within thirty (30) days thereafter either resolve the Error or provide a reasonable system workaround or approach for diagnosing and resolving the Error.
