Support and Upgrade Plan Services consist of resolving problems you might have in using a software product and supplying you with new releases of the software.  SPI will make its best effort to identify and resolve all questions and problems encountered by customers using its software products.  SPI will maintain the software in a prompt and professional manner when problems are documented and submitted in a format prescribed by SPI.  Problems must be reproducible in the unaltered portion of a supported release of the software.  Problems may be resolved by issuing a) defect correction information, b) a restriction, c) a bypass or d) a new release of the Software.  SPI may choose to not resolve problems for a back release of a Software Product that has been superseded by a newer release.

As part of its Support and Upgrade Plan Services, SPI may issue new releases of the Software Product with fixes and enhancements.  There will be no additional charge for enhancements that are generally made available to SPI’s customers without charge. SPI is not required to provide fixes for releases that have been superceded by a later release for a period of six months.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you recognize that SPI is not required to supply any consulting or “debugging” services unless a Software Product proves faulty.  SPI agrees to assist you in determining the nature of an information processing problem, and will inform you in advance if such assistance is billable by SPI.  While SPI will make all reasonable attempts to fix any defects in its products, SPI cannot guarantee service results or warrant that all errors or Software defects will be corrected.

Product Updates - Subsequent Releases

During a Software Product’s Support and Upgrade Plan Period, SPI will make any subsequent Software release available to you without additional charge for your use on the licensed computer.  A subsequent Software release has the same product name as the previous Software release.

For Software not eligible for Support and Upgrade Plan Services, subsequent Software releases require the payment of an Update Charge.

Support and Upgrade Plan Charges

Support and Upgrade Plan Services for software are included in the license fee only for the initial Support and Upgrade Plan Period of three (3) months.  Support and Upgrade Plan services can be extended by purchasing an annual Support and Upgrade Plan. If you have a software lease agreement, a Support and Upgrade Plan is included in the product lease price.

Support and Upgrade Plan Charges must be paid in advance of the Support and Upgrade Plan Period.  Support and Upgrade Plan Services will continue as long as you continue to pay the Support and Upgrade Plan Charge. Support and Upgrade Plan Charges are generally invoiced annually and shall be due and payable in advance of each year’s Support and Upgrade Plan period.

If you do not pay your Support and Upgrade Plan invoice within 30 days of the invoice due date, your Support and Upgrade Plan will be automatically canceled. You can reinstate your Support and Upgrade Plan up until your Support and Upgrade Plan has been lapsed for no more than six (6) months by paying 110% of the Support and Upgrade Plan Charge for the entire period for which Support and Upgrade Plan Services were not in effect, plus Support and Upgrade Plan Charges for a new Support and Upgrade Plan Period of not less than one year.

If your Support and Upgrade Plan has lapsed for more than six months, you will not be eligible for a Support and Upgrade Plan contract until you have purchased an upgrade to the next version. Upgrade charges and per-call support charges will apply.

If Support and Upgrade Plan Services are purchased, then they must be purchased for all active software licenses purchased by you.  You may not purchase Support and Upgrade Plan for only a portion of the software licenses. Support and Upgrade Plan charges are approximately 15% to 20% of the then current perpetual license charges for the product. Please contact Software Pursuits for a specific quote.
