3. SUPPORT SERVICES


3.1. Scope.
(a) Support Services Purchased From LATENCETECH. If you have
purchased a subscription license of an On-premise Software or
Cloud Software (which include Support Services) from
LATENCETECH, information about such Support Services is set out
in the separate agreement between you and LATENCETECH which
sets out the terms of the Support Services.
(b) Support Services Purchased from a Reseller. If (i) you have
purchased a subscription license of an On-premise Software or
Cloud Software (which include Support Services) from a Reseller or
(ii) you have otherwise purchased Support Services from a Reseller,
such Support Services will be provided to you in accordance with
the Reseller’s own documentation and instructions and the
provisions of Section 3 will not apply to you.


3.2. Limitations. Where LATENCETECH provides Support Services directly to
you, LATENCETECH is under no obligation to provide such Support
Services where errors arise from (i) use of any third party equipment,
hardware, software or communication lines; (ii) the modification of the
Software by you or a third party (other than an third party authorized by
LATENCETECH); (iii) your failure to fulfil or observe your obligation in
Section 2 of this Agreement; or (iv) incorrect use of the Software or
operator error. The foregoing limitations are in addition to any other
limitations/restrictions set out in the separate agreement between you and
LATENCETECH or your Reseller, as applicable, which sets out the terms of
the Support Services.


3.3. Warranty. LATENCETECH warrants that provided LATENCETECH has
received payment of all required Fees for Support Services and where
LATENCETECH provides Support Services directly to you, LATENCETECH
will use qualified personnel to provide Support Services in a professional
manner consistent with industry standards. Your sole remedy under this
Section 3 is limited to LATENCETECH’s re-performance of the Support
Services giving rise to your claim. You may request that LATENCETECH
performs additional consultancy, implementation or other services, which
LATENCETECH may at its discretion agree to do, subject to and on the
terms of a separate services agreement.


3.4. Cloud Software Availability. Subject to service availability from
LATENCETECH’s hosting providers LATENCETECH will use reasonable
commercial efforts to ensure that you have access to the Cloud Software
at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree
that LATENCETECH may suspend your access to or use of the Cloud
Software (i) for routine maintenance, (ii) if LATENCETECH detects fraud, a
security breach or any other similar threat that causes or that could cause,
in LATENCETECH’s reasonable opinion, damage to the Cloud Software or
Customer Data, or (iii) if LATENCETECH’s hosting providers suspend their
services to LATENCETECH. Any suspension by LATENCETECH of the Cloud
Software in application of this Section shall not release you from your
payment obligations under the Agreement. LATENCETECH will use
commercially reasonable efforts (i) to minimise interruptions for routine

maintenance and to schedule such maintenance at non-peak hours and (ii)
for fraud, security breach or other threat, to restore your access to the
Cloud Software as soon as possible after the suspension. In addition, you
acknowledge and agree that as the Cloud Software is accessible via the
internet, it is therefore subject to limitations, security vulnerabilities,
delays and other problems inherent to the operation of the internet and
other electronic communications and that LATENCETECH and/or its
licensors will not be liable or responsible to you for any such delays,
interruptions, security problems, delivery failures or other damage

access the Software or to access additional components or modules in the
Software, you must pay all applicable fees.

Software, shall be paid in full at the beginning of each subscription period;

exercising any right of set-off.


5.3. Price Increase. If you purchased a time-based subscription license of an
On-premise Software or Cloud Software, LATENCETECH may not increase

LATENCETECH will use its reasonable endeavours to give you (or your
Reseller if you purchased the subscription license from a Reseller) 60
days’ written notice prior to your next renewal date of any price increase.
If you continue to use the Software after the fee change takes effect, you
will be deemed to (i) agree to the increase in the fees and (ii) authorize
LATENCETECH (or your Reseller, as applicable) to collect the new fees
amount using the agreed payment method.


5.4. No Payment. If LATENCETECH has not received payment of the

rights and obligations LATENCETECH may suspend or terminate your
license.

any amount not paid by you when due shall bear interest at the rate that

LATENCETECH will be in the currency specified on your invoice or order
form.


5.7. Taxes. Fees quoted do not include applicable sales taxes but all

intended use of the Software; or (iii) replace the infringing part of the
Software with compatible, feature and functionally equivalent, and non-
infringing products or documentation, as the case may be. If in

use of the Software is in breach of this Agreement, infringes or
misappropriates its Intellectual Property Rights or other rights of a third party
or violates applicable law (a “Claim”), and shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Customer Indemnified Parties for any loss, claim, damages, cost,
expenses, and other liability (including reasonable lawyers' and expert's fees
and expenses) that any Customer Indemnified Party incurs a result of or in
connection with such Claim. LATENCETECH must: (i) promptly give you
written notice of the Claim; (ii) give you sole control of the defense and
settlement of the Claim (provided that you may not settle any Claim unless
the settlement unconditionally releases the Customer Indemnified Parties of
all liability); and (iii) provide to you all reasonable assistance, at your expense.

 

9.6. Force Majeure. If LATENCETECH performance is prevented, hindered or
delayed by reason of any Force Majeure event, LATENCETECH shall be
excused from performance to the extent that it is prevented, hindered or
delayed thereby during the continuance of such causes, and such
LATENCETECH’s obligation hereunder shall be suspended for so long and
to the extent that such causes prevent or delay its performance.
LATENCETECH shall give you written notice of the commencement of a
Force Majeure event. If LATENCETECH is unable to resume performance

within 30 days after giving notice or fails within that period to give
