1. Client shall pay Alterian the Fees set forth in, and in accordance with, the applicable Agreement. Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. All Fees do not include any applicable taxes, and Client shall be responsible for paying any and all applicable sales, software license, use, value added, excise, property, withholding tax or any other taxes due in connection with the performance of the Agreement whether imposed on Client or Alterian; provided, however, that Client shall not be required to pay any taxes applicable to Alterian’s net income.

Support
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Alterian will provide applicable support to Client and Permitted End Users during the applicable Term.
2. Alterian will, subject to the timely and full payment of all Fees, provide support directly to Client.
3. The provision of unlimited users is subject to Client ensuring due diligence and training of all users to ensure proficiency in the system. It is the responsibility of Client to ensure training is delivered by either internal superusers and or via Alterian training channels. Where internal training is delivered by Client, Client will take responsibility for first line training and help questions.
Professional Services (applicable only to Statement of Work)
1. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in Statement of Work, all time, materials and other resources to be provided or expended by us, which are described in Statement of Work, are estimates as of the date of the Statement of Work. Upon completion of each phase of the project, the estimates for subsequent phases will be reviewed and, as applicable, updated.
2. We are not responsible for verifying that any Products and Services or deliverables conform to any regulatory or industry requirements or standards. We are not responsible for the actions or directions of any of Client’s third-party suppliers or service providers that may be involved in relation to the project.
3. Any Products and Services, deliverables or other obligations not expressly set forth in Statement of Work are out of scope and would require a change to Statement of Work. Either party may request a change to the project scope in accordance with the following. The requesting party will submit a written request, including information regarding the change and the likely impact thereof, to the other party’s Principal Contact. Such Principal Contact will either approve or reject such request in writing. Any such rejection will include the reason therefore. Once agreed to by the parties in writing, a change shall be incorporated into and become part of Statement of Work.
4. Throughout the project as defined in Statement of Work, Client will be responsible for properly and timely performing the following obligations:
  1. providing current, complete and accurate requirements and information regarding the business case and the project, and promptly update the foregoing;
  2. conducting and documenting user acceptance testing with respect to all applicable requirements, and providing acceptance or detailed rejection of each applicable Product and Services deliverable in writing within five business days after completion of such acceptance testing, provided that Products and Services and deliverables will be deemed accepted by Client in the event of any failure or delay of the foregoing;
    1. testing and approval of all deliverables before Client utilization thereof in connection with a production environment;
    2. making available all information and resources, as necessary, appropriate or reasonably requested by us, in connection with our provision of any deliverables or performance of any of our other obligations under this Statement of Work;
    3. providing a suitable working environment for any onsite work;
    4. procurement of all applicable software licenses;
    5. installing and distributing any of our applicable applications onto appropriate devices or shared environments;
    6. extracting, cleansing, inspecting and migrating data from Client’s existing devices and systems;
    7. providing to us formal approval, as necessary or reasonably requested by us, of documentation, deliverables and other project matters;
    8. adherence to our supported architectures and pre-requisites, as applicable;
    9. resolution of any conflicting functional requirements; and
    10. ensuring that all pertinent infrastructure has appropriate access for Permitted End Users and any integrated systems
5. In addition to any termination rights otherwise set forth in the Agreement, Alterian may terminate Statement of Work at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Client without cause, or immediately upon notice to the Client if any third party restricts, prevents or ceases to authorize the access or use of the Products and Services. Third-party restrictions refer to situations where external entities or individuals impose limitations, obstacles, or conditions that affect the access or use of certain products or services. These restrictions can come from entities that are not directly involved in the contractual relationship between Client and Alterian. Instead, they exert influence due to legal, regulatory, contractual, or other reasons. In the context of the clause it means that if a situation arises where a third party (not Alterian or the Client) enforces limitations on the use or availability of the offered Products and Services, Alterian has the right to terminate the Statement of Work.
  
  In the event of a regulatory authority, a licensing body or any 3rd party suddenly revokes the required permits for using software or services included in the Statement of Work, this would be considered a third-party restriction. Similarly, if a third-party vendor essential to the functioning of the Products and Services restricts access or discontinues support to Client, it might impact Alterian’s ability to fulfill the agreed-upon services. In addition, the Statement of Work shall terminate immediately and automatically upon any termination or expiration of the Terms and Conditions. Upon any such termination or expiration, the Client shall no longer be permitted to use the Products and Services and shall delete or destroy all copies of the Products and Services in its possession. Termination of the Statement of Work shall not entitle the Client to any refund, credit, or other compensation from Alterian under this Agreement or any other agreement or from any third party.
6. Alterian shall exclusively own all intellectual property rights related to any inventions, developments, software, materials or technology developed or obtained by or on behalf of us (i) prior to the Statement of Work; or (ii) except for any intellectual property rights expressly granted to Client in the project scope, at any other time regardless of whether related or unrelated to the Statement of Work.
7. Where applicable, an Alterian professional services person will be the lead project manager on the project.
8. Client will identify a lead contact person to be responsible for ensuring tasks assigned to Client‘s staff are executed based upon the agreed project plan.
9. Client is responsible for the actions of, and all communications with, its third party suppliers that may be involved with the Statement of Work.

If Alterian receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Products and Services, Alterian may in its discretion and at no cost to Client (i) modify or replace the Products and Services so that it is no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching Alterian’s warranties expressly set forth in the Agreement, (ii) obtain a license for Client’s continued use of such Products and Services in accordance with the Agreement, or (iii) terminate Client’s rights to use such Products and Services upon 30 days’ written notice and refund Client any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the Agreement Term with respect to such Products and Services.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL APPLY WHETHER AN ACTION IS IN CONTRACT OR TORT AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, BUT WILL NOT LIMIT CLIENT’S AND CLIENT’S AFFILIATES’ PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE ANY LIABILITY FOR FRAUD.
2. Exclusion of Consequential and Related Damages.

Schedule II: SUPPORT (SaaS/Subscription)

This Schedule II supplements and is incorporated into the Terms and Conditions to which it is attached.

Support Administration
1. Alterian will log all support requests by Client through the support portal, which may include:
  1. the date and time of reception of the request;
  2. the name provided as that of the Client’s representative;
  3. a short description of the request or report;
  4. the date and time that handling of the request or report starts;
  5. the date and time that the request is resolved; and
  6. the name(s) of our employee(s) receiving and handling the requests.
2. Alterian will make the log information available to Permitted End Users through the support portal.
Support Categories and Response Times
1. “Working Days” and “Working Hours” for support shall be during normal business working days and hours between:
  1. 09:00 to 17:30 local time for the region specified in the Agreement, excluding local public holidays as may be further detailed in the support portal.
  2. Access to support outside of Working Days and Working Hours can be purchased as an optional additional service; however, submitting a support request alone does not activate this optional service.
2. Support is provided according to the following priority levels. Alterian may in good faith change the priority level of an error or change its status to an enhancement request upon notice to Client.
  1. A “P1 – Critical Priority Error” means a problem where the Products and Services become unavailable to Client and for which no practicable workaround is available and that prevents or materially impairs the performance of substantially all major functions of the Products and Services as described in the Agreement so that: (i) the Products and Services are unavailable to Client or at material risk of becoming unavailable; or (ii) the Client is unable to use the Products and Services due to continual failures or data corruption. Once a P1 – Critical Priority Error is resolved (as Alterian reasonably determines, whether by procedural workaround, system restart, hot-fix, or otherwise) such error’s priority level shall be reclassified to a P3 – Medium Priority Error until Client confirms that the incident report may be closed (such conformation not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
  2. A “P2 – High Priority Error’ means a problem, for which no practicable workaround is available, that prevents or materially impairs the performance of a major function of the Products and Services as described in the Agreement so that: (i) a major function of the Products and Services are unavailable to Client or its availability has been materially interrupted and substantial risk of recurrence exists; or (ii) the Client is unable to use the Products and Services due to intermittent failures or data corruption; or (iii) where the Products and Services partially fail. Once a P2 – High Priority Error is resolved (as we reasonably determine, whether by procedural workaround, system restart, hot-fix, or otherwise) such error’s priority level shall be reclassified to P3 – Medium Priority Error until the Client confirms that the incident report may be closed (such conformation not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
  3. A “P3 – Medium Priority Error” means a problem, whether or not a practicable workaround is available, that prevents or materially impairs the performance of a minor function in the Products and Services as described in the Agreement, but that does not make the Products and Services wholly unavailable to Client or materially inhibit Client’s use of the Products and Services.
  4. A “P4 – Low Priority Error” means a problem that does not prevent or materially impair the performance of any function in the Products and Services as described in the Agreement, and does not materially inhibit Client’s use of the Products and Services. Such a problem is typically cosmetic in nature.
3. Alterian will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the initial response times, calculated beginning from the time that Client properly notifies Alterian through the support portal, for the respective priority levels as follows:
  
  Product Priority
  
  P1 P2 P3 P4
  
  Real-Time CX Platform, Campaign Manager, Email Manager 1 Working Hour 4 Working Hours 8 Working Hours 2 Working Days
Availability and Recovery
Alterian will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve at least 99.9% availability of the Products and Services measured monthly as the ability to log on to our applicable production environment applications and access the FTP server, excluding planned downtime (of which Alterian will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least eight (8) hours’ prior notice via the Products and Services) and excluding any unavailability resulting from events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation telecommunications, Internet service provider or hosting facility failures or delays involving hardware, software or power systems not within our possession or reasonable control, and denial of service attacks. Alterian will monitor the availability of the Products and Services.Alterian will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain back-ups of Client’s data for recovery purposes for a period of thirty (30) days.
Support Policy Changes
This Schedule II reflects Alterian’s support policy with respect to the provision of support, as of the date of the Agreement. Alterian’s support policy is available through the support portal. Alterian reserves the right, at its discretion, to modify the terms of this policy at any time. Alterian will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice if the level of support provided under the Agreement will materially diminish in quality due to a change in the support policy.
