SugarCRM will use reasonable commercial efforts to provide an appropriate workaround, a Maintenance Patch or a specific action plan for how SugarCRM will address the Error and an estimate of how long it will take to rectify the defect or Error.
iv. Reclassification of Errors: Notwithstanding that the Authorized Contacts may suggest classifications of an Error to an applicable Priority Level when reporting an Error, SugarCRM shall have the final authority to classify the Priority Level of an Error and may reclassify Errors at another Priority Level if it reasonably believes that Company's classification is incorrect.
v. Exceptions: Unless otherwise authorized in writing by SugarCRM, SugarCRM will not be required to correct any Error determined by SugarCRM to be caused by (a) incorporation or attachment of a feature, program, or device to the Software, or any part thereof, by a party other than SugarCRM; (b) any nonconformance caused by accident, transportation, neglect, misuse, alteration, modification, or enhancement of the Software other than by SugarCRM; (c) Company's failure to provide an installation environment recommended for the Software; (d) Company's use of the Software for other than the specific purpose for which the Software is intended; (e) Company's use of the Software on any servers, databases or systems other than the SugarCRM specified hardware platform for the Software; (f) Company's use of defective media or defective duplication of the Software; (g) Company's attempts to resolve or fix Errors; and/or (h) Company's failure to incorporate any Maintenance Release previously released by SugarCRM which corrects such Error.
vi. Right to Subcontract: SugarCRM may subcontract and/or assign the provision of its Support Services Plans.
vii. Maintenance Patches and Maintenance Releases: If the Company has paid the Subscription Fees and any additional Maintenance Fees, if applicable, and is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company will be entitled to receive any Maintenance Patches and Maintenance Releases to the Software made generally available by SugarCRM during the Maintenance Period. Maintenance Patches and Maintenance Releases released during the Maintenance Period shall be made available in a manner determined by SugarCRM, such as on a SugarCRM-designated web site for access or electronic download by Company. SugarCRM shall provide Company with instructions regarding registration for such access or electronic downloads. When a Maintenance Patch or Maintenance Release is available, Company will receive notice from SugarCRM indicating such availability. The use of each Maintenance Patch or Maintenance Release obtained under this Agreement is governed by the terms of the Agreement. Company shall be required to implement all Maintenance Patches and Maintenance Releases and/or replace the Software it has installed as soon as commercially practicable after notification by SugarCRM of the availability of such Maintenance Patches and Maintenance Releases or replacement Software, as applicable.
viii. Renewal of Support Services Plan: If Company is on the Standard Support Services Plan, the Maintenance Period for such plan will run concurrently with, and renew or terminate on the same date as, the Renewal Term. If Company is on a Support Services Plan other than the Standard Support Services Plan, at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Maintenance Period, Company shall notify SugarCRM of its intent to renew Company's Support Services Plan at the same plan level or a different plan level and SugarCRM shall have the discretion to determine the applicable Support Services Plan level on renewal. If Company does not give SugarCRM such notice, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to continue its support under the same Support Services Plan as the preceding Maintenance Period. Any such renewal will run concurrently with the Renewal Term.
ix. Company Obligations: Company, and not SugarCRM, will be responsible for, and will bear all expenses associated with, providing Front-Line Support Services to its Subscription User and implementation and installation of Maintenance Patches and Maintenance Releases. Company agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to answer its Subscription Users' support questions. Company agrees that any information or documentation distributed by Company to its Subscription Users will clearly and conspicuously state that Subscription Users should call Company for technical support for the Software. SugarCRM will have no obligation to furnish any assistance, information or documentation with respect to the Software directly to Subscription Users. Company agrees that only Authorized Contacts will contact SugarCRM for technical support. If SugarCRM technical support representatives are being contacted by Subscription Users then, upon SugarCRM's request, Company and SugarCRM will cooperate to minimize such contact. Company must establish and maintain a procedure for reconstruction of lost or altered files, data or programs. Company agrees that its Authorized Contacts will have sufficient technical expertise, training and/or experience for Company to perform its obligations hereunder. Company will designate for SugarCRM, in writing and/or e-mail, its list of Authorized Contacts within one week of the Effective Date.
x. Fees: Other than the Subscription Fees, no additional fees are payable by Company for Standard Support Services Plan. For the Extended Support Services Plan or the Premium Support Services Plan, as applicable, Company shall pay to SugarCRM an amount specified on www.sugarcrm.com or as otherwise agreed in writing by an authorized representative of SugarCRM for the total number of Subscription Users ("Maintenance Fee"). If the election to upgrade occurs on a date other than the first day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, the Maintenance Fee shall be pro-rated for the remaining period of the Maintenance Period based on a 365 day year. All fees paid to SugarCRM are non-refundable.
