Technical Support Terms & Conditions

Eligibility

Support Services cover purchased services and/or software licenses only.
Non-production systems, temporary licenses, evaluation licenses and test/sandbox environments shall not be supported by Nextian.

Support Services are aimed at resolving technical issues related to bugs and other software malfunctions and do not constitute an end-user helpdesk service.

All issues must be initially reported in the Nextian Customer Support Portal. Requests initiated outside the portal shall not be handled.
Support Services shall be available only via designated, mutually agreed point(s) of contact, other users requesting support shall be redirected to these contacts.
If remote access (login credentials, Windows remote desktop, VNC or equivalent) is required to provide Support Services, it shall be Customer’s responsibility to configure and provide such access to Nextian.

If an issue occurs due to customer’s fault or negligence including, but not limited to:
1. Misconfiguration,
2. Erroneous user actions,
3. Data updates not made by Nextian,
4. Customer’s infrastructure including, but not limited to third party software, hardware or network connectivity,
a fee will be charged based on the number of hours (minimum one hour) spent on resolving the problem by Nextian personnel, and an hourly rate of $150.00 (one hundred fifty U.S. Dollars), excluding fees and taxes.
Managing, creating and restoring of backups (including but not limited to Salesforce metadata backups, Salesforce data backups, other database backups, operating system backups) shall be the sole responsibility of the Customer and Nextian shall not be responsible for backup/restore activities in any way.
Legacy tools (SNMP Agent Simulator, IPMI for Java and ICMP for Windows/Java) shall be supported on a best-effort basis with no Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”).
