The Services are subject to Company’s sunset or discontinuation policy ("Sunset Policy") and Company reserves the right to discontinue all support for the Services, or for any features, services or content accessible through the Services, in accordance with such Sunset Policy. Company focuses on supporting rapidly-changing technologies, and on innovating to provide customers with the most stable and useful set of products and services possible, and consequently, products and services may go through major updates or be replaced with newer products. As new versions, products, and services are introduced, Company actively plans for sunset of older services and software versions as well as specific product features. Below is Company sunset policy (“Policy”) to help customers better manage their end-of-life transition and to understand the role Company can play in helping to migrate to updated alternative Company technologies. This Policy explains the type of support services Company will provide for Licensed Product and services during a product's life cycle. For the purposes of this document, “Support” and “Maintenance” are used interchangeably.
a. Definitions.
· Sunset/Sunsetting or End of Life (EOL) refers to when Company ceases marketing or offering a particular Licensed Product or a Major Release for a particular Licensed Product. When a Licensed Product is sunsetted, it enters the sunset, or EOL, period. The Sunset or EOL Period starts when the next major version of a product is released—or at such other time when Company announces to customers that a given product has been discontinued—and ends at the time designated by Company in the EOL or Sunset announcement, which may vary.
· End of Support (EOS) begins after the expiration of the sunset period when software shall be deemed at End of Support, or as an EOS version or product.
· Licensed Product refers to the Company software product or services you license, which is governed by the applicable agreement between you and Company.
· Releases for Licensed Product are categorized as Major Releases or Maintenance Releases.
· Major Release/Version means a new release of the Licensed Product that incorporates the last Maintenance Release(s) (if any) and may include additional enhancements to the Licensed Product. Major Releases may include architectural changes and major feature changes, as well as new features and functionality. The terms “Release” and “Version” are used interchangeably in this document.
· Maintenance Release means a release of the Licensed Product that provides cumulative patches for a particular Major Release. A Maintenance Release typically does not contain new features or new functionality. Patches are software code updates that resolve specific software deficiencies. These are typically designated as a build number associated with a specific release.
· Support Services are the maintenance support services for Licensed Product. Customers must have a current agreement and be up to date on all amounts due under the agreement in order to receive Support Services (in accordance with this Policy).
b. Full Support. Company provides Full Support for Licensed Product for which the customer has a current agreement for the current version of any software or services with all Maintenance Releases applied. For customers with the current major version of the software who have not applied all available patches, support may be limited to configuration assistance, activation assistance, and general questions.
c. Sunset Support. Company provides a more limited level of Support Services for software that is in the Sunset Period. Limited support is provided for customers who have installed all patches available to the Sunset Version. Support services may not be provided if all available fixes have not been installed. If all patches have been installed, the customer shall provide Company with a fully reproducible scenario in which the error occurs. For the first nine (9) months after Sunset is initiated for a product, Company may, at its option, provide an additional patch to the Sunset Version or offer a work-around. Partial support will be subject to the availability of resources and may be limited as Company determines. At nine (9) months after Sunset, Company shall provide configuration support or work-arounds only. No defects shall be corrected in Sunsetted versions after nine (9) months. No new features or enhancements shall be added to Sunsetted versions of software.
d. End of Support. After Sunset or End of Life (EOL), a product shall be deemed at End of Support (EOS). EOS products and versions shall have Company Community (self-help) support only. Customers may opt to purchase pay-per-incident (PPI) support for EOS products or versions; however, this support shall be limited to configuration only and shall not include any fixes, patches, or enhancements to the unsupported version. PPI support entitles the customer of an EOS product or version to submit a ticket through the online HelpDesk. Fees for PPI shall be at Company’s then-current applicable rates.
e. Contract Commitments. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event that any Licensed Products or Versions thereof are scheduled to reach EOL or EOS without a replacement or new version of the Licensed Products being made available to the customer, such Licensed Products will be supported by Company in accordance with the applicable Order Form and Service Agreement for the remainder of the then-current term of such agreement.
a. Limitation of Action. Any legal action arising out of Company’s provisioning of Services, including the failure, malfunction or defect in the Services shall be brought within one (1) year of the occurrence or deemed waived.
b. Non-Solicitation. Neither party to this Agreement will solicit for employment any then current employee of the other party either directly or indirectly through a third-party during the term of this Agreement, including any renewal thereof, without the mutual agreement of the parties.
c. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, excluding the conflicts of law provisions thereof and both parties stipulate to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of that jurisdiction.

The parties shall each be responsible for initial payment of one-half of any arbitration fees, but upon final resolution the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provision, Customer acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Customer or its representatives may cause irreparable harm to Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Customer or its representatives, Company shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available at law (which Company does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order, injunction, specific performance and any other equitable relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction, and the parties hereby waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or the showing of actual monetary damages in connection with such claim.

f. Severability.

In addition, upon Customer’s request, Company may (in Company’s discretion) add or delete some portion of the Services, without requiring a separately signed agreement, provided that such changes do not increase or decrease the total fees under this Agreement by more than ten percent (10%). Company reserves the right to modify this Agreement to correct errors and omissions, or substitute Services with reasonably equivalent Services (provided that the change will have no effect on the total fees under the Agreement).
h. Rights upon Termination. Upon the expiration or any termination of the Agreement, Customer shall promptly return to Company, or with Company’s prior written consent destroy, any information from the Services in Customer’s possession or control.

Upon termination of the Agreement, and subject to payment of all fees due under this Agreement, Company agrees to provide, in an industry standard format, an export of Customer’s available data in accordance with Company’s then-current data export policy following payment of any applicable fees at then current standard fees.
