Ineligible Customers on unsupported Major Versions are at their own risk in any continued use of such versions and must become Eligible Customers to receive any currently supported Major Versions.
4. CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS.
Good will have no liability for any changes in Customer’s hardware, software, or other systems which may be necessary to use the Software due to the installation of a Supplement.

(Note: not available for all countries/carriers and some plans may not be available for all Software.) Good shall provide Eligible Customers with the elected level of support as set forth under an Order Form for the applicable Software.– Good reserves the right to modify plan features from time to time on a prospective basis:
Basic Plan
The following services are included under the Basic Plan:
Coverage. Includes Online Support Portal providing world wide web access to log support requests, to access Good’s online knowledge base of technical information and to access Good’s electronic provisioning during business hours applicable to Customer’s time zone
• Email support during regular business hours;
• Telephone Support during regular business hours;
• Technical updates containing technical bulletins and bug reports as they are made available to assist Eligible Customers in the installation
and implementation of the Software and to provide assistance concerning the identification, diagnosis, and correction of any failure of the Software to substantially conform to the specifications set forth in Good’s applicable documentation (an “Error”). Support will be provided by Provider only to the Eligible Customer designated contacts, as designated pursuant to an email notice to customercare@good.com (“Designated Contacts”). At least one Designated Contact will be identified who can be reached 24x7. An Eligible Customer may change the identity of any Designated Contact upon email notice to Provider sent to customercare@good.com, provided that at no time will the number of Designated Contacts exceed two (unless optional levels of support are procured – see below). Each Customer will be responsible for providing technical support directly to its users.
Error Correction. Good will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any material errors or problems identified by Eligible Customers (each an “Incident”) in accordance with the priority level reasonably assigned to such Incident by Good. Customers will notify Provider promptly of any suspected Incident and will provide sufficient detail to allow Provider to reproduce the Incident on its systems (an “Incident Report”). Provider may perform remote diagnostics to determine the existence and nature of an Incident, subject to the Customer’s reasonable security policies. Provider is not required to provide Customers any support, maintenance, or other services that are not expressly provided for in these Support and Maintenance Terms or under the Agreement. If additional support services are necessary, Good and Customer shall agree upon the terms for providing such services under an Order Form. Good shall also have the right but never the obligation to provide Incident corrections and Supplements to Ineligible Customers, in Good’s sole discretion.
Exclusions. Provider will have no obligation of any kind to provide support services for problems in the operation or performance of the Software caused by any of the following (each a “Customer-Generated Incident”): (i) non Good software or hardware products or carrier network and setup issues; (ii) alteration, damage, or modification to the Software not made or authorized by Good; (iii) problems caused by Customer’s negligence, abuse or misapplication, (iv) Customer’s use of the Software other than as permitted by the License, by law or as provided in the Documentation, or (v) failure to timely install Supplements. If Good determines that it is necessary to perform support services for a problem caused by a Customer-Generated Incident, then Good will so advise Customer as soon as reasonably possible and Good will have the right to: (a) decline to provide such services; or (b) by agreement with Customer use reasonable efforts to perform such services and invoice Customer at Good’s then current standard time and materials rates for such services.
Backward Compatibility. Provider has no obligation to support, host or maintain any version of the Software for more than one (1) year after a 12-month End-of-Life notice is issued. Moreover, Good may require the installation and deployment of the appropriate Supplements as a condition to its support obligations. Ineligible Customers on unsupported versions are at their own risk in any continued use of such versions and must become Eligible Customers to receive any currently supported versions.
