Severity Level | Initial Response Time | Delivery of a Solution or Action Plan |
---|---|---|
Severity Level 1 (Urgent): An Incident that severely impacts your use of the JAGGAER Application for production purposes (such as loss of production data or in which your production systems are not functioning). The Incident halts your business operations and no procedural work around exists. | 1 Hour | 8 Hours |

- Client Support Expectations; Incident Resolution. Client will maintain and manage internal support capabilities to address end-user inquiries through Client’s or Client’s subcontractor’s Support Contacts within Client’s (or Client’s subcontractor’s) organization and determine whether an issue or defect (“Incident”) should be communicated to JAGGAER by a Support Contact for Support Services (e.g. a help desk). Client’s Support Contact shall conduct reasonable and adequate research with respect to an Incident prior to contacting JAGGAER for assistance. Client will provide JAGGAER reasonable access to the technical operating environment, restricted to only the test environment, in which the JAGGAER Applications run and to supporting technical resources of Client to help identify and resolve any Incidents related to the technical operating environment. Client shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist JAGGAER in reproducing the specific situation in which a JAGGAER Application, standing alone, demonstrates a failure to substantially conform to all published, functional and technical specifications for the applicable version of the JAGGAER Applications (the “Specifications”). The Support Contact shall conduct reasonable and adequate research with respect to a defect or issue prior to contacting JAGGAER for assistance. When deemed necessary and requested by JAGGAER, Client shall provide JAGGAER a backup within a reasonable time frame after request to enable JAGGAER to evaluate the Incident and perform testing. JAGGAER’s response time obligations are subject to receipt by JAGGAER of the data backup. JAGGAER will use reasonable commercial efforts to reproduce and correct reproducible errors in the JAGGAER Applications that prevent the JAGGAER Applications from operating in substantial conformity with the Specifications.
- Updates. JAGGAER may from time to time provide new feature functionality, enhancements, and other changes, which are logical improvements to a JAGGAER Application and which JAGGAER elects to make available to all JAGGAER clients on a commercial basis in the form of a release or otherwise (“Updates”). Continued payment by Client of applicable Support Services fees (for perpetual licenses) or license fees (for term-based licenses) shall entitle Client to receive Updates without being required to pay additional license fees. Updates do not include any new software products that are then made generally available on a commercial basis as separate, price-listed options or additions to a JAGGAER Application nor do they include any hardware, third party software or Professional Services that may be required for implementation.
- Scope of Support Services. Support Services are limited to Client’s use of the current General Release – defined as a major version of the software commercially released by the JAGGAER to all JAGGAER clients, designated as a whole number (vs a minor release which is designated with a decimal, e.g. 10.3 or 10.4) and the two (2) previous General Releases of the JAGGAER Applications (collectively, the “Supported Releases”). In order to continue to receive Support Services, Client must remain current with the Supported Releases. JAGGAER shall have no obligation to provide Support Services except to the Support Contact and only with respect to the Supported Releases. When a JAGGAER Application is deployed in conjunction with other software products, including but not limited to web servers, browsers, databases, and operating systems, JAGGAER is not responsible for providing Support Services for these other products, or for ensuring correct interoperation with these products. At Client’s request, JAGGAER may provide technical, operational or other assistance or consulting in excess of the standard Support Services described herein for additional fees under the terms of a Statement of Work executed by JAGGAER and Client. Support Services do not include any on-site services and JAGGAER shall be reimbursed by Client for any reasonable travel and living expenses and travel time, to be invoiced by JAGGAER on a monthly basis.
- Client Data. JAGGAER shall have no responsibility for loss of or damage to Client’s data. Client shall take all necessary steps to back up its data.
- Specifications; Third Party Software. Support Services are contingent upon Client (i) providing the environment specified in the Specifications and (ii) obtaining a license to any third party software outlined in the Specifications. All third party software licenses specified as required in the Specifications shall be purchased by Client, established in Client’s name, and Client shall be responsible for any associated obligations or costs associated with the licenses, maintenance, support and any required upgrades for such third party software. As a convenience to Client, JAGGAER may, from time to time, sublicense certain third party software products for which JAGGAER is a certified reseller. Regardless of whether JAGGAER elects to sublicense third party software products to Client or Client licenses such third party software directly, Client shall remain responsible for costs of support or required upgrades to third party software products listed in the Specifications. As described above, correct of any Incidents caused by or related to third party software is outside of the scope of the Support Services.
- Additional Environments. Unless Client has purchased an enterprise license, the Support Services provided by JAGGAER shall be restricted to support of Client’s use of the JAGGAER Applications in one (1) production and one (1) test environment, with environment meaning a series of servers representing an instance (e.g. production environment, test environment, etc.). Support Services for a test environment shall be limited to resolving Incidents upon migration of Updates into the supported production environment. Regardless of whether Client has an enterprise license, additional fees shall be required in the event Client wishes to add additional environments. Upon Client’s request, JAGGAER shall provide a quote for the additional license and Support Services fees, implementation fees and expenses for any additional environment and the terms for any additional environment(s) shall be described in an ordering document executed by JAGGAER and Client. Client shall be responsible for testing JAGGAER’s resolution of the Incident in Client’s test environment prior to using the JAGGAER Application in the production environment, and Client shall be responsible for maintaining the compatibility of any test environment with the applicable production environment. Any support provided by JAGGAER to ensure the compatibility of Client’s test environment with the applicable production environment may be subject to additional fees under the terms of a Statement of Work executed by JAGGAER and Client.
- Exclusions. The Support Services exclude any services required to resolve any Incidents arising from or related to: (i) use of the JAGGAER Applications not in accordance with the Agreement, including applicable Specifications; (ii) modification by Client or any third party of any part of the JAGGAER Applications or interface software that interacts with the JAGGAER Applications; (iii) alteration of any underlying data or data structure of, or related to, the JAGGAER Applications other than through use of the JAGGAER Applications in accordance with the Agreement, including the applicable Specifications; (iv) Client’s failure to remain current with Supported Releases, (v) Client not testing JAGGAER’s resolution of an Incident in Client’s test environment prior to using the JAGGAER Applications in Client’s production environment or from incompatibility between Client’s test environment and production environment, (vi) any failure by Client to provide JAGGAER a backup when deemed necessary and requested by JAGGAER to perform Support Services and (vii) third party software or the interoperation of third software with the JAGGAER Applications. Any Professional Services provided by JAGGAER to correct any Incidents arising from or related to the items above shall be subject to additional fees under the terms of a Statement of Work executed by JAGGAER and Client. At Client’s request, JAGGAER may provide technical, operational or other assistance or consulting in excess of the standard Support Services on a fixed-price basis under a Statement of Work mutually agreed upon by JAGGAER and Client.
