5.04 Customized Software. Support of Integrated or Customized Software

Customized by UWS. If the system includes customized software developed for End User by UWS, and UES has been purchased for such customized software, UWS warrants that software will operate as per specification and will repair any defects as per the terms of this schedule. As part of this Agreement, UWS will maintain the integrated source code at its facilities under source control for End User. For software developed jointly by End User and UWS, UWS shall support the portions of software implemented by UWS.

Customized by “Approved Developers”. If the system includes customized software developed by an End User “Approved Developer”, then UWS will support all UWS-supplied components up to the UWS programming API. An “Approved Developer” is one who meets the minimum pre-requisites for using UWS integration toolkits and had taken UWS “Approved Developer Training”. UWS makes no representations or warranties for support of customized software developed by End User and makes no response time guarantees for any problems reported as a result. UWS will, if requested, provide ‘per diem’ assistance in trouble shooting End User customization problems.

iii. Other Customizations If customized software is developed by non-Approved End Users, End User will be responsible for providing positive proof that the reported non-conformance is a result of the UWS products. The validity of ‘positive proof’ is in the opinion of UWS staff. UWS will provide support to End User for UWS-supplied components that interact with the End User developed software on a ‘per diem’ basis only.  If UWS, in its sole opinion, believes that the reported problem is not related to the End User Customization, then it will provide support as per the general terms of this Agreement for its products. UWS makes no representations or warranties for support of a system using customized software developed by non-Approved End Users and makes no response time guarantees for any problems reported as a result.

Support Restrictions To support any customized software, UWS must (a) maintain the complete source code for the customization and have free and complete access to the software for purposes of providing warranty and support, or (b) maintain a unique Image ID for the executable software module containing the customization, consisting of a date and file size, executable software checksum, or some other uniquely identifying mark, and have remote access to a debug system containing the full source and compile system sufficient to debug and support the software.  In the case of b), response times are measured from the time UWS is provided access to this system. If the executable customized software module does not match the source maintained by UWS due to end use changes, or if the Image ID does not match that maintained and certified by UWS, then the software will be supported as per 5.04(iii) above.

Restrictions. UWS reserves the right to deprecate any APIs that are used for integrations by providing a minimum of 9 months notice to the End User of such change.

Section 6. Response Times

6.01 Response to a problem report – 1 hour or less for Severity 1 issues reported via phone. This response may determine the level of the problem being reported is not Severity 1.

Resolution of a problem report. For problems that are recurring, UWS will provide a resolution or workaround to any S1 problem within 24 hours of the problems reporting, or provide best efforts to provide a resolution as quickly thereafter as is possible.  For problems with infrequent manifestations, UWS will provide a resolution within 6 problem cycles of the problem’s reporting.

For S2 problems, UWS will endeavor to recreate the problem within 5 business days of the problems reporting. A resolution will then be provided as part of an engineering release upgrade.

S3 problems will be resolved as quickly as possible on a best-efforts basis.

S4 problems will be resolved in a future scheduled maintenance release of the software, not to exceed 24 months from the reporting date of the problem.

6.02 Remedy for Missed Response Times. In the event that UWS does not meet its contracted response times, End User shall have the right to escalate directly to UWS management and seek the following remedies:

Ongoing written status reports from UWS’ management as to progress on the specific problem in question at a frequency as defined by End User.

Ongoing verbal status reports via conference call from UWS management as to progress on the specific problem in question at a frequency as defined by the End User.

Section 7. EXCLUDED ITEMS

Moves, adds and changes;

iii. Assistance with non-UWS products, services or technologies, including implementation, administration or usage;

Assistance with installation or configuration of third party components, including but not limited to voice recording, AI/Chatbots, telephony issues, or other adjunct related applications or hardware;

Any software that is developed on a ‘per diem’ basis is delivered ‘as is’ and is not covered under the terms of this agreement.
