  • "Add-On Products" as used herein means software modules or services provided by Good or its partner with functionality and features that are supplemental or additional to core GFE functionality and may be enabled or disabled or held back without delivery by Good without disrupting a Customer's use of GFE/GFG functionality.
  • "Supplements" as used herein means all patches, bug fixes, and minor upgrades (releases without enhancements or new features) of GFE which Good makes generally available, typically designated as a change in version number to the right of the decimal place.
  • "Customer" means an enterprise or government organization that is a licensee for Good for Enterprise ("GFE") or Good for Government ("GFG").
  • "Eligible Customer" means a Customer who is current on support and maintenance payments to Good for the entire duration of time for which Customer has had each license.
  • "Ineligible Customer" means a Customer who is not current on support and maintenance payments to Good for the entire duration of time for which Customer has had each license. An Ineligible Customer may become an Eligible Customer with Good's written confirmation that such Customer has either satisfied its payment obligations in arrears for licenses previously purchased OR purchased new licenses at the then current license rates.

2. SECURE TRANSPORT SERVICES.

Good will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the data processing and electronic communication performed by Good's network operation center with Customer's server across a wired network and with supported handheld devices wirelessly available to Customer at least 99.50% of the time, excluding excusable downtime (e.g., scheduled maintenance or causes beyond Good's reasonable control).

3. BASIC (BUSINESS HOUR) SUPPORT (EXISTING VERSIONS).

    3.1 Coverage. Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Eligible Customers with the following forms of support, which shall be provided solely in English:

    • Online Support Portal providing world wide web access to log support requests, to access Good's online knowledge base of technical information and to access Good's electronic provisioning during business hours applicable to Customer's time zone
    • Email support during regular business hours;
    • Telephone Support during regular business hours;
    • Technical updates containing technical bulletins and bug reports as they are made available;
    • to assist Eligible Customers in the installation and implementation of GFE and/or GFG and to provide assistance concerning the identification, diagnosis, and correction of any failure of GFE and/or GFG to substantially conform to the specifications set forth in Good's applicable documentation (an "Error"). Support will be provided by Provider only to the Eligible Customer designated contacts, as designated pursuant to an email notice to customercare@good.com ("Designated Contacts"). At least one Designated Contact will be identified who can be reached 24x7. An Eligible Customer may change the identity of any Designated Contact upon email notice to Provider sent to customercare@good.com, provided that at no time will the number of Designated Contacts exceed two (unless optional levels of support are procured - see below). Each Customer will be responsible for providing technical support directly to its users.

    3.2 Error Correction. Good will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any material Errors identified by Eligible Customers in accordance with the priority level reasonably assigned to such Error by Good. Priority levels may vary at Good's reasonable discretion by device and carrier. Customers will notify Provider promptly of any suspected Error and will provide sufficient detail to allow Provider to reproduce the Error on its systems. Provider may perform remote diagnostics to determine the existence and nature of an Error, subject to the Customer's reasonable security policies. Provider is not required to provide Customers any support, maintenance, or other services that are not expressly provided for in these Support and Maintenance Terms or the License. Good and Customers may agree on additional support services and compensation, but only in writing. Good shall also have the right but never the obligation to provide Error corrections and Supplements to Ineligible Customers, in Good's sole discretion.

    3.3 Exclusions: Provider will have no obligation of any kind to provide support services for problems in the operation or performance of GFE/GFG caused by any of the following (each a "Customer-Generated Error"): (i) non Good software or hardware products or carrier network and setup issues; (ii) alteration, damage, or modification to GFE/GFG not made or authorized by Good; (iii) problems caused by Customer's or its end users negligence, abuse or misapplication, including attempting to use mobile devices, whether certified by good or not, with modified versions of hardware and/or operating system software not provided by the manufacturer (i.e. "jailbroken", "rooted" or equivalent devices) (iv) Customer's use of GFE/GFG other than as permitted by the License, by law or as provided in the Documentation, or (v) failure to timely install Supplements. If Good determines that it is necessary to perform support services for a problem caused by a Customer-Generated Error, then Good will so advise Customer as soon as reasonably possible and Good will have the right to: (a) decline to provide such services; or (b) by agreement with Customer use reasonable efforts to perform such services and invoice Customer at Good's then current standard time and materials rates for such services.

    3.4 Backward Compatibility: Good has no obligation to support, host or maintain more than two Major Versions of GFE/GFG (current and previous) at any time. Moreover, within any Major Version, Good may require the installation and deployment of the appropriate Supplements as a condition to its support obligations. Ineligible Customers on unsupported Major Versions are at their own risk in any continued use of such versions and must become Eligible Customers to receive any currently supported Major Versions.

4. MAINTENANCE (RECEIPT OF FUTURE VERSIONS).

    4.1 Eligible Customers: Good will make all Major Versions and related documentation available to Eligible Customers for no additional fee when they are generally made available to Good's other direct Eligible Customers receiving basic support and maintenance services. Good is not required to provide new functionality or new software products, however. Add-On Products associated with a GFE/GFG Major Version release may be excluded or disabled in Good's sole discretion subject to the payment of additional license and/or support fees.

    4.2 Ineligible Customers: Good shall have the right but never the obligation to provide Major Versions and Supplements to Ineligible Customers, in Good's sole discretion. In most cases, Ineligible Customers will be required to restore their good standing on support payments. Ineligible Customers on unsupported Major Versions are at their own risk in any continued use of such versions and must become Eligible Customers to receive any currently supported Major Versions.

5. CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS.

Good will have no liability for any changes in Customer's hardware, software, or other systems which may be necessary to use GFE/GFE due to the installation of a Supplement. Customer will cooperate with Good from time to time as reasonably requested by Good in connection with the provision of support services, including promptly providing Good with reasonable remote access to Customer's servers and software to the extent necessary to provide the services and always subject to Customer's reasonable security policies.

A Permanent Solution is applicable where no immediate Resolution or workaround can be found.
A Permanent Solution may take the form of a Patch, Service Pack or Build.
In the case of Service Packs or Builds, the permanent solutions of P3/P4 issues are subject to a natural cut-off period to allow for the fact that the development process concludes in advance of the commercial release date. Unlike P1 /P2issues, the uppermost resolution date of P3/P4 issues is fixed to a particular software release rather than a number of weeks. This cut-off means that if a P3 or P4 issue is submitted after this point then their resolution timeframe will move to the subsequent release. Note that this is a worst case since the Engineering Team will be working to resolve these issues in advance of this period. The cut-off period will be 4 weeks prior to the commercial release.
