Seven will keep the End User Order in strictest confidence and not disclose any such information to any party other than its auditors, advisors or regulatory agencies.

 

9. Audits. Once per year, upon reasonable request, and prior written consent by VAR, that shall not be unreasonably withheld, Seven may at its own expense and by a third party certified public accountant appointed by VAR, audit VAR’s records relating to the exercise of rights granted under this agreement. Such audit will take place at VAR’s facilities during VAR’s normal working hours. If an audit indicates an underpayment of five percent (5%) or more of any amounts due hereunder or other non-monetary noncompliance, VAR will promptly reimburse Seven for the reasonable cost of the audit. Such rights will remain in effect through a period ending one year from the termination of this Agreement.

 

10. Proprietary Rights and Trademarks.

SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

 

1. Definitions. Terms not defined below shall have the same definitions as in the Master VAR Agreement.

 

Error: means an error in the Seven Software, which significantly degrades such Software as compared to Seven’s published performance specifications, which may be designated as a Priority 1, Priority 2, or Priority 3 Error, as described below.

 

Major Releases: means generally commercially released major new releases, modifications and/or enhancements to the same Software product as designated by a change in the number to the left of the decimal in the version number. Major Releases do not include separate or different products marketed by Licensor under a different name even if such products are compatible with the Software.

 

Minor Releases: means generally commercially released code corrections, patches, updates and minor version releases of the same Software product as designated by a change in the number to the right of the decimal in the version number.

 

Tier 1: means helpline support, which includes problem intake and general guidance in use of major features of the product.

 

Tier 2: means next level guidance in the product and problem resolution, including general problem diagnosis, provision of known workarounds and resolutions, further internal escalation and fault ticket filing and communication with Seven support as necessary.

 

Tier 3: means expert code level assistance in resolving Errors in the Software provided by Seven support technicians directly to VAR.

 

2. Support Services. Support Services consist of the following: (i) email and telephone support regarding use and deployment of the Software from [* * *] in VAR’s region, [* * *] (excluding holidays) to designated VAR employees who have received and have current technical training on the Licensed Product (“Support”); (ii) Support for Priority 1 and 2 Errors on a [* * *] basis; (iii) a designated support contact as the primary liaison between Seven and VAR for all support related issues; (iv) Major and Minor Releases of the same Software product(s) licensed by VAR (“Maintenance”) and (v) support with respect to Errors as set forth in Section 3 below. All services of Seven hereunder shall be Tier 3 only; Seven shall not be obligated to provide any Maintenance or Support directly to any Licensee or Subscriber. VAR will perform all necessary initial problem analysis, diagnosis, and replication of the problem at VAR location prior to contacting Seven.

 

3. Error Designation, Priority and Feedback/Resolution. Seven will (a) verify VAR detected Errors, provided that the Errors can be recreated with an unmodified version of the Software and (b) determine the severity of the support request and whether the support request is a Priority 1 Error, a Priority 2 Error, a Priority 3 Error (as each is described below) or not an Error. Seven will use reasonable commercial efforts to correct Errors reported by VAR and verified by Seven in accordance with the priority level reasonably assigned to such Error by Seven. The following guidelines will be used to determine priority of Errors and response and resolution timelines. Times are measured from time of receipt of notification.

 

Error Priority


  

Description


Urgent Priority 1    All or critical portion of the Seven application is inoperative and business is being immediately and substantially impacted. No work can be done. Time critical and preventing use by a large number of users.
High / Priority 2    High use application feature/function is significantly adversely affected or renders service as inoperative. Productivity is being substantially compromised; work can be done but not at a substantial capacity. Time critical and affecting some users, and no alternative methods of usage are available.
Medium Priority 3    Application has encountered a not immediately critical problem or defect. Non-time critical problem affecting at least one user. (Issues involving a single user where they are not able to use whole or part of the system). Workarounds may be available.

4. Smart Device Certification Program—This is where SEVEN provides a device certification program for the VAR and device manufacturers to add devices with supported operating systems to the SEVEN Certified List of Devices. The program is described below. For example, if the VAR is shipping a new Palm OS device not currently in the SEVEN Certified List, e.g. Palm Tungsten W, the VAR can request that SEVEN certify the devices and add it to the SEVEN Certified List.
