IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT PROCEED WITH RECEIVING THE SUPPORT. THIS AGREEMENT DESCRIBES YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE SUPPORT.
Commencing on the purchase or renewal of a support term (“Effective Date”), We will supply the Support to Client with respect to the Software described in Section 1 below, for which We have granted a license to Client pursuant to a software license agreement (the “Software License Agreement”) by and between Algolia and Client and for whom the applicable support fee has been paid.
YOU EXPRESSELY DECLARE THAT YOU ARE A PROFESSIONNAL AND THAT YOUR ARE SUBSCRIBING THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT AS SUCH.
1. INCLUDED SUPPORT
The support apply only to the ALGOLIA product and designated Client application and platform for which they are purchased (“Software”) and do not apply to any other application developed by Client, or any other application, library or product developed or sold by Us. The support, if any, for any other such product will be governed by a separate agreement. All support features listed below are available only for the Maintenance Term plus any extensions or renewals, and such support features will become unavailable immediately upon termination of this Agreement.
The support include the following features:
- Remote and downloadable access to the most current documentation available (the “Documentation”), including tutorials and examples.
- Extension of the Software License Agreement to major updates as well as corresponding Documentation, for the Client application for which the support is subscribed.
- Maximum incident response time of 1 business day as detailed in Section 2b.
- A maximum of 10 incidents declared by email only to Algolia support email address (support@algolia.com).
Support requests submitted to the Algolia support email address are valued per single related incident. Support requests determined to be unrelated to the original request shall constitute a new support incident at the sole discretion of Algolia personnel.
2. TERMS OF SUPPORT
a. Hours of Availability
Access to all web-based support features (online documentation) are generally available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year barring unforeseen interruptions in Internet service or planned exceptions by Algolia. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Algolia does not guarantee such availability. All metered support services are also generally available 24 × 7 × 365, although the response to each request for metered support may not happen immediately, and will be governed by the response time terms outlined in section 2b. Any planned exceptions to the availability of support services will be communicated on the Algolia website as far in advance as possible.
b. Response Time
The response time listed in each support plan is the elapsed time between the receipt of a support request via the Algolia support email address (support@algolia.com) and the time when Algolia begins the support service, including a verbal or written confirmation to the Client thereof. The actual time required to fully resolve the support request, if such full resolution occurs, may be longer than the maximum response time listed.
c. Our Responsibilities
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Client to resolve problems in its use of the Software as described in Section 1. We make no guarantee that it can, or will, solve any problems with respect to the Software presented by Client, and further disclaims any warranties above and beyond any limited warranties that may have been expressly made by Us in the Software License Agreement.
d. Client’s Responsibilities
The Client is responsible for all hardware, operating systems, network setup, network maintenance and setup and use of any file access control systems required in the support of the Software. Client may be required to grant Us certain limited access rights to Client’s proprietary computer systems in order that We may render support Services. Client is responsible for ensuring that its personnel have sufficient training to attain and maintain competence in the operation of the Software. If We determine, in Our sole discretion, in responding to a Client request for Support, that the solution is provided in available media (including, but not limited to, the documentation, tutorials and examples, and website), We may direct Client’s personnel to the appropriate media for the solution to the problem. Even if the support request were resolved in so doing, an incident will be deducted from the available incidents outlined in section 1.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION
Our provision of the Support to Client will commence on the Effective Date and will continue for an initial term of one (1) year (the “Initial Term”). If Client has elected a Support plan with auto-renewals, Support will automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the current Support Term (as hereinafter defined). If Client has elected a Support plan without auto-renewals, the Support will automatically terminate at the end of the Initial Term, unless Client chooses to renew Support, subject to Algolia written agreement (each such renewal also referred to as a “Renewal Term”).
A decision to terminate Support or otherwise not renew Support will not terminate the applicable Software licenses. “Support Term” shall mean the Initial Term as extended by each Renewal Term.
Algolia may update Support terms after the Initial Term with thirty (30) days advance notice to Client of any changes deemed by Algolia to have potential adverse and/or material impacts to the Client. Upon any renewal, Algolia then current terms and conditions for the Support will apply.
