Notwithstanding anything otherwise stated in this Agreement, the Services are subject to Company’s Sunset Policy and Company reserves the absolute right to discontinue all support for the Services, or for any features, services or content accessible through the Services, in accordance with the Sunset Policy stated in this subsection. Company focuses on supporting rapidly changing technologies, and on innovating to provide customers with the most stable and useful set of products and services possible, and consequently, products and services may go through major updates or be replaced with newer products.- Sunset Definitions.
- Sunset/Sunsetting or End of Life (EOL) refers to when Company ceases marketing or offering a particular Licensed Product or a Major Release for a particular Licensed Product. When a Licensed Product is sunsetted, it enters the sunset, or EOL, period. The Sunset or EOL Period starts when the next major version of a product is released—or at such other time when Company announces, in a format of its choosing, to customers that a given product has been discontinued—and ends at the time designated by Company in the EOL or Sunset announcement, which may vary, but shall not in any case extend beyond nine months except as explicitly stated in writing by Company.
- Releases for Licensed Product are categorized as Major Releases or Maintenance Releases.
- Sunset Definitions.
- Major Release/Version means a new release of the Licensed Product that incorporates the last Maintenance Release(s) (if any) and may include additional enhancements to the Licensed Product.
- Major Releases may include architectural changes and major feature changes, as well as new features and functionality. The terms “Release” and “Version” are used interchangeably in this document.
- Maintenance Release means a release of the Licensed Product that provides cumulative patches for a particular Major Release. A Maintenance Release typically does not contain new features or new functionality. Patches are software code updates that resolve specific software deficiencies. These are typically designated as a build number associated with a specific release.
- Support Services are the maintenance support services for Licensed Product. Customers must have a current agreement and be up to date on all amounts due under the agreement to receive Support Services (in accordance with this Policy).
- Full Support. Company provides full support for Licensed Product for which the customer has a current agreement for the current version of any software or services with all Maintenance Releases applied. For customers with the current major version of the software who have not applied all available patches, support may be limited to configuration assistance, activation assistance, and general questions.
- Sunset Support. Company provides a more limited level of Support Services for software that is in the Sunset Period. Limited support is provided for customers who have installed all patches available to the Sunset Version. Support services may not be provided if all available fixes have not been installed. If all patches have been installed, the customer shall provide Company with a fully reproducible scenario in which the error occurs. For the first nine (9) months after Sunset is initiated for a product, or as otherwise agreed by Company, in writing, Company may, at its option, provide an additional patch to the Sunset Version or offer a work-around. Partial support will be subject to the availability of resources and may be limited as Company determines. At nine (9) months after Sunset, Company shall cease all support of the Sunset Version or the Licensed Product except as otherwise agreed by Company in writing.
- Contract Commitments. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if any Licensed Products or Versions thereof are scheduled to reach EOL, Company shall not be required to provide additional support if it has offered to Customer a Company-affiliated replacement platform or new version of the Licensed Products with reasonably comparable functionality at similar commercial terms for the remainder of Customer’s then-current Term. In the absence of such a replacement platform or new version of Licensed Products such Licensed Products will be supported by Company in accordance with the applicable Order Form and Service Agreement for the remainder of the then-current Term of such agreement.
