SUPPORT SERVICES SCHEDULE

The following Support Services shall be applicable to Varicent Concert.

1. AVAILABILITY

1.1. Availability. With respect to each Production Instance, “Available” means that such Production Instance is available to Customer for use. The Cloud Service shall be Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year at least ninety-five (95%) of the time in any given calendar month. Availability shall be calculated as follows for each calendar month:

(total # of minutes in the month)
 - (total # of minutes of Unexcused Downtime) x 100 = % Availability
(total # of minutes in the month)

“Downtime” means any time period during which the Cloud Service is not Available. Availability applies only to Production Instances. Downtime is measured from the time Customer opens a Support Ticket with Varicent for such Downtime until the time the Availability of the affected Production Instance is restored. A “Support Ticket” means any request for Support Services or notification of Downtime submitted to Varicent.

1.2. Scheduled Maintenance. “Scheduled Maintenance” means planned Downtime, including for server and network maintenance to replace or repair components and Software upgrades (such as, new Software releases, Software patches, bug fixes and upgrades). Scheduled Maintenance shall be performed during a regular planned maintenance window as Varicent may reasonably designate from time to time, provided that such window is not scheduled during Business Days, 9am-6pm EST.

1.3 Excused Downtime. If unscheduled Downtime is due to: (a) a Force Majeure Event affecting Varicent and Varicent is in full compliance with its obligations under Sections 6.5 and 6.6 (Backup and Disaster Recovery) of the Data Security Standards Schedule and Section 6.1 (Data Security Standards) of the Agreement; (b) the performance of emergency maintenance; or (c) any of the circumstances described in Section 4 (Exclusions) below, such Downtime shall be considered “Excused Downtime” and any Downtime that is not Excused Downtime shall be considered “Unexcused Downtime”.

2. TECHNICAL SUPPORT

2.1. Scope of Support. Technical support is provided as part of the Fees for the Cloud Service and includes:

2.1.1. Self Help: Self-help options provided by Varicent such as help forums within the Cloud Service;

2.1.2. Service Level Objective (“SLOs”): Varicent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer initial responses on all Support Tickets within 6 Support Service Hours. For the avoidance of doubt, such SLO is a target and not a guarantee of performance. Response times commence as of the time that Varicent receives the Support Ticket.

2.1.3. Support: Varicent shall provide the Support Services outlined below. On receipt of a Support Ticket, Varicent will determine the appropriate priority level based on the classifications specified below and input from Customer.

Severity Level Severity Description Support Services
1 Critical business impact/service down: The Cloud Service is not Available or all critical features and functionality of the Cloud Service are not functioning. Work will start promptly following Varicent’s first response if the support request is made during Support Service Hours, otherwise at the beginning of the next Business Day’s Support Service Hours and will continue until a resolution is in place.
2 Significant business impact: A feature or function of the Cloud Service is severely restricted in its use, resulting in a significant impact on Customer’s business operations. Customer is in jeopardy of missing business deadlines. Work will start within the next Business Day’s Support Service Hours following Varicent’s first response and will continue until a resolution is in place.
3 Minor business impact: A feature or function of the Cloud Service is not performing in accordance with the Documentation but does not result in a critical impact on Customer’s business operations. The issue will be researched and issues that are agreed to be fixed will be resolved during a subsequent product release or update. It may be determined, with input from Customer, that some items that require a code fix will not be corrected.
4 Minimal business impact: An inquiry or non-technical request. The issue will be researched, and Customer will be contacted with steps to remedy within 1 Business Day.

3. SUPPORT PROCESS

Varicent shall provide Support Services during Business Days, 10:00am-5:00pm EST (unless such other time zone is agreed upon with Varicent in the applicable Order) (“Support Service Hours”).

3.2. Process. All requests for Support Services shall be submitted by Customer through the Support Ticket system applicable to the Cloud Service, which may be via email or in-product chat function.
