After Hours (times outside of the Normal Operating Hours) notification is available for Priority Very High (1) messages only and should be made via the US toll free number 866.itell.help (866.483.5543).

5.2 Service Levels

Messages Reported During Normal Operating Hours
Licensee will report messages to Licensor and the priority level of such messages will be determined jointly by the parties based on the impact to Licensee’s business and in accordance with the definitions for message priority as defined below.

PRIORITY: VERY HIGH (1)
Critical restrictions in day-to-day operations are encountered. Critical tasks, especially time-critical jobs, cannot be performed due to total system shutdown or a malfunction in a main function of the production SAP system.

Example: Production system down, cannot ship product, cannot invoice Licensees, etc.

PRIORITY: HIGH (2)
Serious restrictions in day-to-day operations are encountered. Necessary tasks cannot be performed. This is due to a malfunction or failed function in the SAP system that is urgently required in the current situation.

Example: Cannot run MRP, cannot generate business critical reports, pricing is incorrect but manual price override is available, etc.

PRIORITY: MEDIUM (3)
Restrictions in day-to-day operations are encountered. This is caused by a malfunction or failed functionality in the system.

PRIORITY: LOW (4)
Day-to-day operations are affected in a minor fashion. This is caused by a malfunction or failed functionality in the system that is not used daily or is only used rarely.

Upon Licensor’s receipt of the initial message, the priority of the message will be determined jointly by the Licensee and the Service Desk Center personnel using the priority definitions set forth above. Licensor will contact the appropriate Licensee message owner or responsible person within the Initial Response Time for a given message Priority Level in accordance with the Service Levels table specified below.

For messages reported during Normal Operating Hours for the Service Desk Center, Licensor will comply with the following Service Levels:

Service Levels
Priority Level Initial Response Time
Very High (1) Within 2 hours
High (2) Within 4 hours
Medium (3) Within 1 day
Low (4) Within 2 days

 

After meeting the Initial Response Times specified in the table above, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve and close messages. Licensor makes no representation or guarantee regarding the length of time it takes to resolve a message.

PRIORITY: VERY HIGH (1) MESSAGES
In the event that Licensee experiences a Priority Very High (1) After Hours, Licensee should report the matter to Licensor via the toll free number 866.itell.help (866.483.5543) and Licensor will then use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to an After Hours Priority Very High (1) message within the Initial Response Time specified in the table above, however, the service level does not apply to After Hours.

At the direction of a Licensee representative, Licensor will work with Licensee to resolve a Priority Very High (1) message without first classifying whether the Services required to resolve the matter are within the scope of it.Software Maintenance Services provided under this Agreement. If it is determined that the Priority Very High issue is outside the scope of the it.Software Maintenance Services, since Licensor performed the Services under the direction and approval of the Licensee, the Licensee agrees to compensate Licensor for each hour worked in accordance with the rates and fees identified in Licensee’s current Application Management Services Statement of Work if applicable, or through a separate Statement of Work with Licensor.

5.3 Messages Reported After Hours
For the purpose of the Service Levels in the table above, any notification or message sent to the Online Helpdesk during After Hours, shall be deemed to be received at the opening of the following business day (Monday through Friday, excluding published Licensor holidays as set forth in Exhibit B).

6. MAINTENANCE TERMINATION:

In addition, Licensor may terminate it.Software Maintenance Services after thirty (30) days written notice of Licensee’s failure to pay it.Software Support Fees. The suspended it.Software Maintenance Services can be reactivated at any time provided that Licensee then pays Licensor the accrued it.Software Support Fees applicable for the period of suspension without delay and in full.

6.2 Subscription License: Maintenance Services shall terminate upon expiration of the subscription or any renewed subscription.

7. OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

7.1 As a condition of receiving it.Software Maintenance Services hereunder, Licensee shall not reallocate users and/or it.Software to other it.Software that are not covered under it.Software Maintenance Services, without the express consent of Licensor.

7.2 FAILURE TO UTILIZE IT.SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE SERVICES PROVIDED BY LICENSOR MAY PREVENT LICENSOR FROM BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND ASSIST IN THE CORRECTION OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WHICH, IN TURN, COULD RESULT IN UNSATISFACTORY IT.SOFTWARE PERFORMANCE.

7.3 In order to receive it.Software Maintenance Services hereunder, Licensee undertakes to inform Licensor without undue delay of any changes to Licensee’s installations and users and other information relevant to the it.Software Maintenance Services. To ensure compliance with the terms of this Exhibit A, Licensor shall be entitled to periodically monitor the correctness of the information Licensee provided.
