Software Support Agreement Q&A

Software Support Agreement Q&A

Does the customer get the source code to modifications made under this software support agreement?

The agreement may be adapted (via the definition of "Modifications") so that the customer gets access to the source code.

Does the customer have any obligation under the agreement to keep the charges secret?

If you include this information in the definition of "Supplier Confidential Information", then yes.

As regards error-fixing, does the supplier commit to any response times under the support agreement?

A response and resolution time matrix is included with the service level agreement. This classifies each issue into one of four types: critical, serious, moderate and minor. Different response times and target resolution times can be specified in relation to each type of issue.
