The terms located at a URL referenced in this Agreement are hereby incorporated by this reference. After the Effective Date, DataStax may provide Customer with an updated URL in place of any URL in this Agreement.

11.11. Severability and Waiver. In the event that any provision of this Agreement (or any portion hereof) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the provision (or portion) will be enforced to the extent possible consistent with the stated intention of the parties, or, if incapable of enforcement, will be deemed to be severed and deleted from this Agreement, while the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force. The waiver by either party of any default or breach of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach.

11.12. Survival. The following sections will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Payment, Restrictions, Proprietary Rights, Effect of Termination, Confidentiality, Indemnification by Customer, Limitation of Liability, and Miscellaneous.

11.13. Updates. Except as expressly provided herein, no modification of this Agreement will be effective unless contained in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. DataStax may make changes to terms located at a URL referenced in this Agreement (collectively, the “URL Terms”) from time to time. DataStax will post the amended terms and will update the “Last Updated Date” at the top.

Exhibit A

DDAC Support Terms

DataStax provides Support of eligible software under the terms of these Support Terms as long as Customer maintains a current subscription to Support. “Support” means the services described in these DDAC Support Terms and does not include one-time services or other services not specified in this Support Policy, such as training, consulting or custom development.

1. Supported Software

Support covers only the DDAC software licensed to Customer by DataStax under this Agreement (the “Supported Software”). The Supported Software includes the open source software and other third party components. Similar third party components might be available from other sources, but Support covers only the software delivered to Customer under the Marketplace Order. DataStax reserves the right to refuse to provide Support to any user who engages in activity or behavior which conflicts with this Support Policy or the Agreement.

2. Technical Contacts

Support may be initiated and managed only by Customer’s Technical Contacts. “Technical Contacts” are named individuals who are responsible for administration of the Supported Software within Customer’s organization. Customer may designate the number of Technical Contacts that corresponds with its licensed volume in Table 1 below. Customer shall only designate as Technical Contacts those individuals who have knowledge of and experience with the operation of the Supported Software and who have sufficient permissions and authority to access the Supported Software in Customer’s environment. Additional Technical Contacts may be available for an additional fee.

TABLE 1

3. Informational Support

DataStax will provide reasonable product and technical support to address questions concerning use of the Supported Software only. Technical Contacts may initiate Support by submitting a ticket through our 24-hour web ticketing system at https://support.datastax.com. Support is provided in the English language only. Customer acknowledges information and materials provided to DataStax in connection with receiving Support may be used by the DataStax global support team for the purpose of providing Support in accordance with this Support Policy.

4. Technical Currency

As part of Support, and at no additional license fee, DataStax will provide Customer with all new versions of the Supported Software that it generally releases, including all improvements, enhancements and bug fixes. All such new versions are provided subject to the terms of the Agreement. Support does not include any item that DataStax licenses separately from the Software or that DataStax makes available for an additional fee.

5. Issue Resolution

DataStax will make commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Issues submitted by Customer’s Technical Contacts. Such efforts may include helping with diagnosis, suggesting workarounds, providing patches, or making a change to the Supported Software in a new release. An “Issue” is a material and verifiable failure of the Supported Software to conform to its Documentation. Support will not be provided for the following: (1) use of the Supported Software in a manner inconsistent with the applicable Documentation, (2) modifications to the Supported Software not provided by or approved in writing by DataStax, or (3) use of the Supported Software with products or software not provided or approved in writing by DataStax. Customer shall not submit Issues arising from any software other than the Supported Software or otherwise use Support for unsupported software.

6. Service Levels

A. DDAC With 8×5 Support

Customers with a current subscription to DDAC with 8×5 Support are entitled to receive Support subject to the following service levels. At the start of the subscription, Customer must select a Support Region (US EAST, US WEST, APAC, or EMEA). All Customer Support requests should be made via submission by a Technical Contact of a support ticket through the DataStax Support Portal. After a Technical Contact submits a support ticket to DataStax via the Support Portal, DataStax Support will respond to Customer’s support ticket during the hours of 9am to 5pm on business days in the Customer’s designated Support Region. Support is provided eight (8) hours per day, five (5) days per week, weekends and holidays excluded.

DataStax will respond to any Customer Issues within 24 hours Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

TABLE 2a: DDAC with 8×5 Support

B. DDAC With 24×7 Support

For Customers with a current subscription to DDAC with 24×7 Support, the Customer shall have worldwide access to DataStax Support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. All Customer Support requests should be made via submission by a Technical Contact of a support ticket through the DataStax Support Portal. When a Technical Contact submits an Issue via the Support Portal, DataStax will reasonably assess its priority according to the appropriate priority levels defined below. DataStax will confirm the priority level with Customer and will resolve any disagreement regarding the priority as soon as is reasonably practicable. Urgent and High priority levels are not available for non-production systems

TABLE 2b: DDAC with 24×7 Support

“Urgent” means a catastrophic problem in Customer’s production systems. Examples include a complete loss of service, production systems that are crashed, or a production system that hangs indefinitely. Customer cannot continue essential operations.

“High” means a high-impact problem in Customer’s production systems. Essential operations are seriously disrupted, but a workaround exists which allows for continued essential operations.

“Normal” means a lower impact problem on a production or non-production system that involves a partial or limited loss of non-critical functionality, or some other problem involving no loss in functionality. Customer can continue essential operations. Normal problems also include all problems on non- production systems, such as test and development systems.

“Low” means a general usage question. It also includes recommendations for requests for new products or features, and requests for enhancements or modifications. There is no impact on the quality, performance, or functionality of the product in a production or non-production system.

7. Customer Responsibilities

Customer shall provide DataStax with data, process information, supporting analysis, and access to Customer’s Technical Contacts as reasonably required to allow DataStax to resolve reported Issues. Customer is responsible for the adequate duplication and documentation of all of its files and data for back-up purposes.

8. How to Escalate a Support Issue

DataStax Support is committed to providing accurate and timely solutions to technical support needs. If Customer has a critical or serious technical issue on its production system or is not satisfied with the response or resolution provided by DataStax Support, Customer may use one of the following escalation paths to have its concerns addressed:

• For support issues where the business impact has changed or was not correctly stated initially, request to have the priority of the ticket increased according to the above service level definitions;
• For an existing issue that has become critical in nature where Customer’s production system is down, inaccessible, or Customer is dissatisfied with the DataStax response or resolution, follow the procedure below for management review:
  • Verify that the support ticket is up-to-date and all requested information and files have been provided and request an escalation; and/or
  • Contact Support by calling the DataStax escalation phone line to speak with a support engineer. The escalation number can be found on the ‘Contact Us -> Ticket Escalation’ page once logged into the DataStax Support Portal. (You will receive access to the Support portal upon processing of your contract.) Customer’s Technical Contact will be asked for the Technical Contact’s name, company name, ticket number, contact number, and reason for the escalation. If a DataStax support engineer is not available an operator will take the information and generate an urgent support request.
• Once an escalation request has been received, the support manager will: (1) contact Customer’s Technical Contact to acknowledge the escalation and determine the mode of communication and frequency of updates; and (2) work to ensure that the appropriate resources are available to identify a solution or workaround.

9. End of Life Policy

Support covers each Major Release of the Software: for at least 24 months after its general release, and all Minor Releases under a supported Major Release. After such period, the Software has reached its End of Life (“EOL”). For example, if a Major Release were made available on January 1, 2000, then it would be supported until January 1, 2002.

“Major Release” means a new version of the Supported Software made generally available by DataStax with substantial improvements, enhancements and bug fixes, represented by a change in the number to the left or right of the first decimal point (such as a version change from 1.1.0 to 2.1.0 or from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0). “Minor Release” means a version change represented by a change in the number to the right of the last decimal point.

The Supported Software will reach its End of Service Life (“EOSL”) 6 months after the EOL. In the 6 month period between EOL and EOSL dates, DataStax shall provide Limited Support (provided Customer has a current Subscription to Support). “Limited Support” means all the features of Support except that if Customer has identified a defect in a Major Release that has reached EOL, DataStax will evaluate fixing the defect in a release that has not reached EOL. After the EOSL, DataStax will not support, in any way, a Major Release and/or any Minor Releases of that Major Release.

Support for other versions of the Supported Software is not provided under this Support Policy. Support only covers use of the Supported Software on the platform or operating system versions that are specified at http://www.datastax.com/products/datastax-enterprise#DSE-Supported-Platforms-Table. Support does not cover use of the Supported Software on platforms or operating systems that are no longer supported by the original vendor.

10. Support of Customers of Resellers

If Customer purchased its Subscription through a reseller, then please see the applicable agreement with that reseller for any applicable additional or different terms (for example, Customer’s first contact for support may be the reseller, rather than DataStax).

11. Amendments

Except as expressly provided herein, no modification of this Support Policy will be effective unless contained in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party. From time to time, DataStax may amend this Support Policy in its sole discretion. DataStax will post the amended terms on the DataStax website at www.datastax.com/support-policy. DataStax will also update the “Last Updated Date” at the top of this Support Policy. By continuing to access or use Support after DataStax has provided Customer with such notice of a change, Customer is indicating that it agrees to be bound by the modified Support Policy. If the changes have a material adverse impact on and are not acceptable to Customer, then Customer must notify DataStax within 30 days of the applicable Last Updated Date. If DataStax cannot accommodate Customer’s objection, then the prior Support Policy shall govern until the expiration of the then-current subscription period. Any renewed subscription will be governed by the then-current Support Policy. No term or condition contained in Customer’s purchase order or similar document will apply unless specifically agreed to by DataStax in writing, even if DataStax has accepted the order set forth in such purchase order, and all such terms or conditions are otherwise hereby expressly rejected by DataStax.
