The Vendor offers the following services with the Support Provider during support hours (please see clauses 12, 13, and 14 for full particulars of these services):

• Investigation of problems with the Software,
• Analysis of errors (as defined in clause 10.2) and investigation of the underlying causes of the reported problems (root cause analysis)

10.2
The Vendor shall use reasonable endeavors to resolve documented, reproducible errors in the Software (Software Maintenance) using competent personnel and according to accepted industry standards with the Support Provider. The Vendor is not responsible for the success of the resolution of errors and gives no guarantee in this respect. The Vendor’s sole obligation in respect of the resolution of errors is to use reasonable efforts with the Support Provider to provide Software Maintenance as set out in this Licence. For this Licence, ‘error’ is a material non-compliance between the functionality of the Software with the Documentation for the Software, reported by the Buyer, which occurs other than by user error. If an error cannot be reproduced by the Licensor, it is not considered an error. The non-compliance has to cause a loss of functionality permanently and significantly. In this case, the parties shall endeavor to reach an agreement on the action to be taken. Such agreement may be reached between the Buyer and the Support Provider on behalf of the Vendor as well.

10.3
The Vendor is exempted from the obligation to perform Software Maintenance for the Buyer (without affecting the payment obligation for the agreed purchase price of the Software), particularly:

• in the event of errors resulting from unauthorized modifications or alterations to the Software (both server-side and client-side);
• if the installation of the current or previous Software versions, as well as the delivered error solutions, were not carried out, unless the delivered versions of error solutions are faulty;
• for Software versions released a period (e.g., more than one month) before the Buyer reported the error. This timeline is dependent on if and how Atlassian allows the Buyer to hold back updates (“Release Track”) for their instances in the Atlassian Cloud.
• in the event of errors due to the unauthorized use of the Software or incorrect operation, unless the Software is used following the user Documentation;
• for Software provided by the Vendor that is no longer developed or supported (end-of-life status), is intended to be used for test purposes and is, therefore, an unfinished version of the Software (beta
• version), is created as a final test version (release candidate), and/or is a development version (development release) or used as a free version;
• for any hardware defects;
• when the Software is used on hardware, software (not limited to but especially not current web browsers), and operating system environments other than those specified in the user documentation;

The response and resolution times depend on the classification level; the following error classification levels apply:

Response time is the period between the report of an error and the first action taken by the Support Provider. The period starts with receiving the corresponding support request through an official support channel according to clause 9 within the support hours specified in clause 11.3. and runs exclusively during the agreed support hours.

13.3
The response times are the Vendor’s declared aspiration. In particular, regarding the provision of clause 12.2., the Vendor does not guarantee the observance of the stated response times.

14. Resolution Time

14.1
The resolution time is the maximum time before troubleshooting resolves the error or a workaround is implemented after the start of work on a support case.

In particular, regarding the provision of clause 12.2., the Vendor does not guarantee the observance of the stated average response times. Non-compliance with these response times does not constitute any right for the Buyer to reduce the price, claim for reimbursement, terminate the Agreement, or seek any other form of compensation.
