* Response time during the SuLA support windows; see below par 6. ** Most critical Bugs (Blocker) must be reported to a live person of Servoy by phone.
Servoy utilizes a 3-step support model for problem & feature resolution: ● Qualification ● Resolution design ● Start of the Resolution
When initial contact with Servoy is made, a team member of Servoy will validate all information details relevant to the question or issue. Once all relevant information is available, the case is considered qualified. Part of this is separating issues into Bugs, feature requests, technical questions and other questions. Required information for a case to be qualified is described in Addendum 5 as attached hereto. A unique case number will be assigned and delivered to the contact person by Servoy, either verbally, via web request or via e-mail. This case number will be used to track any given issue from initial contact to final problem resolution. All cases can be monitored in the support system at on our
Once a case is qualified, the resolution for it is designed and if applicable presented to Partner/End-User. After resolution approval by Partner/End-User, the designed resolution will be planned and implemented. The response time between a question/case and the provision of a qualification is called: T1. The time between a qualified question and resolution design is called: T2. The time between an approved resolution design and start of resolution is called: T3.
If Partner/End-User is entitled to phone support, the numbers are:
USA Dial: + 1 866 489 5147 (support level agreement)
NL Dial: +31 (0)20 229 3641
If during the normal Support processes and appropriate management review, Servoy believes that a problem reported by Partner/End-User may not be due to a Bug, Servoy will notify Partner/End-User accordingly. In such event Partner/End-User may instruct Servoy:
to proceed with problem determination at its possible expense as set forth herein; or
that Partner/End-User does not wish the problem to be further pursued at its expense.
If Partner/End-User requested Servoy to continue with the problem determination at its expense and Servoy determines that the problem was not caused by a Bug, Partner/End-User shall pay Servoy at the Servoy’s then-current standard hourly consulting rate at a time and material basis for all work performed in connection with such determination (including the discovery time spent), plus reasonable related expenses incurred therewith. Partner/End-User shall not be liable for the payment of the Servoy’s then-current standard consulting rates in the event:
Problem determination or repair to the extent problems has been caused by a Bug; or
Work performed after Partner/End-User has notified Servoy in writing that it no longer wishes problem determination to be continued at its possible expense (such notice shall be deemed given when actually received by Servoy). If Partner/End-User instructs Servoy that it does not wish the problem pursued at its possible expense or such determination requires effort in excess of Partner/End-User’s instructions, Servoy may, at its sole discretion, investigate the issue without any liability.
There are 2 types of Support windows:
5 (working days) * 12: Extended business hours 7AM-7PM
5 (working days) * 8: Normal business hours 9AM-5PM
The support window/working days are depending on the SuLA type as agreed upon the Product Order Form as well as the timezone of the Servoy branch providing the Support.
USA time zone is PST
NL time zone is CET
Servoy requires that designated contacts be identified with person-specific e-mail addresses.
It is important to know and authenticate with whom Servoy is working; person-specific e-mail addresses assist in identifying valid contacts.
The Partner/End-User can always "cc" their Support alias (if they have one and if they so choose) and Servoy will "reply all" in the Support request response, alleviating concerns the Partner/End-User has on situations where the contact who originally initiated the request for Support is "out of the office" but the organization has other support experts on hand working the issue.
All Partner/End-User personnel contacting Servoy for Support must be familiar with the latest Major Release of the Software and the current issue as to which Partner/End-User requires assistance.
Partner/End-User agrees that contact with Servoy will be through a limited number of contacts
For the SuLA level (C&D), Servoy will dedicate a coordinator to assist in facilitating escalation. The coordinator is a non-technical representative, whose goal is to build close relationships and promote an understanding of infrastructure and processes. Some work items (especially those associated with critical situations) may need to be expedited. In such event, Partner/End-User will notify Servoy of the critical situation (Blocker) and Servoy will agree to work with Partner/End-User on providing the appropriate solution for each critical situation. If appropriate, Partner/End-User can also contact the support coordinator of Servoy
Servoy permits upgrades of Support at any time during the Term at the beginning of each calendar month. Servoy shall not issue prorated refunds. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in the event Servoy modifies this SuLA and such modification has or will have substantial impact on the contents of the Support, Partner/End-User may terminate the Support forthwith upon Servoy implementing any such modification.
