| 10 | LIABILITY AND LIMITATIONS |
CUSTOMER’S ATTENTION IS EXPRESSLY DRAWN TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CLAUSE
10.1 Limitation of liability.
Except as expressly provided herein, neither party makes any express or implied warranties, representations or conditions, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and any warranty arising from a course of dealing, usage or trade practice. Further INNOVIA does not represent or warrant or guarantee that the Software, any Services or any Third Party Software will always be available, accessible, uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, complete, error-free, or will operate without packet loss, nor does INNOVIA warrant any connection to or transmission from the internet
The Software, Services and, if applicable, Third Party Software may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of the internet and electronic communications. INNOVIA accepts no liability of any kind whatsoever, including liability for negligence, for the continuing existence, operation, interoperability, facilities or functions or the consequences direct or indirect of any Customer using the internet or any other electronic communications facility to access and use the SaaS Service
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall either party be liable for indirect, consequential, punitive or incidental damages (including damages for loss of business profits, revenue, data or anticipated savings or business interruption) however caused (including negligence) or arising under any theory of law and whether or not the other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages
In any event INNOVIA’s cumulative liability under this agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder or for any software data report or information or service provided to the Customer or any defect or failure therein or arising from any court of competent jurisdiction holding any of the above warranties or disclaimers or limitations of liability invalid, including any cause of action in contract, tort or strict liability, shall be limited to the amount of fees paid by the Customer to INNOVIA under this agreement during the 12 months period immediately preceding the date on which the relevant cause of action arose. INNOVIA’s limitation of liability is cumulative with all INNOVIA expenditures to address liability being aggregated to determine satisfaction of the limit. The Customer releases INNOVIA from all obligations, liabilities, claims or demands in excess of the limitation. The parties acknowledge that other parts of this agreement rely upon the inclusion of this clause 10 and the resulting allocation of risks
Nothing in this agreement shall exclude or limit the liability of a party, its service entities and personnel where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law (but then only to the extent of the prohibition)
10.2 Customer acknowledges and agrees that INNOVIA has no liability of any nature whatsoever
10.2.1 to any person for the content of any third-party communications publications or sources from which any data, reports or information is provided through Customer’s use of the Software, Third Party Software or any SaaS
Service or
10.2.2 for such data, reports or information including without limitation its accuracy, quality, integrity, reliability or appropriateness for any purpose and the Customer shall be solely responsible and liable for any use it makes of such data, reports or information including any breach of copyright or other right obligation or duty recognised by the laws of any jurisdiction
10.3 INNOVIA does not give any opinions or advice concerning the use or non-use of any data reports or information provided or available to Customer through its use of the Software, Third Party Software or any Service. Such data reports or information may need further expert or specialist advice or interpretation to be obtained by the Customer before they can be fully or partly understood or assessed, or use made of or reliance placed on them
10.4 INNOVIA accepts no liability for any claim notified to it more than six months after the date of receipt by the Customer from INNOVIA of the data report or information in respect of which the claim arises
10.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement INNOVIA does not warrant that use or operation of the Software or any Third-Party Software will be uninterrupted or error-free
10.6 As some jurisdictions do not allow some of the exclusions set out in this clause 10, some of these exclusions may not apply to you. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction rules any other limitation of liability invalid or unenforceable, INNOVIA’s total aggregate liability shall not exceed the total sum which INNOVIA may recover with respect to its liability for such loss or damage under either its general public liability insurance or professional indemnity insurance (which at the date of this agreement is with respect to general public liability not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence or series of occurrences arising from the one event and with respect to professional indemnity not less than $1,000,000 for any one claim or series of claims arising out of one incident or event)
10.7 For the avoidance of doubt, time shall not be of the essence of this contract. If INNOVIA shall fail to provide access to or use of the Software, any applicable Third Party Software or any Service by any applicable agreed date, other than as a consequence of any act or omission of the Customer (whether or not such act or omission constitutes a breach of this agreement) or a third party over which INNOVIA has no control or responsibility, then INNOVIA shall provide such resources as may be at its disposal and reasonably required in order to provide access to or use of the Software, Third Party Software or such Services within the shortest possible time thereafter and compliance by INNOVIA with this clause 10.7 shall be in full and final settlement of any liability it may have for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer as a result of such failure by INNOVIA
10.8 The limitations contained in this section do not apply to either the Customer or INNOVIA for breach of their respective confidentiality obligations in clause 12 or for breaches of each other’s intellectual property rights
10.9 The Customer and INNOVIA agree that all terms and limitations of this agreement, including the warranty and liability limitations and exclusions, are fair and reasonable in light of the amounts to be paid by the Customer, the nature of the Services, the strength of the bargaining position of each party, the alternative ways the Customer’s needs could have been met and the potential benefits and risks for both party in entering into this agreement
| 11 | FORCE MAJEURE |
Notwithstanding anything else contained in this agreement, neither party shall be liable for any delay in performing its obligations under this agreement, any Project Document or other document created pursuant to or incorporated by reference into this agreement if such delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control and any delay caused by any act or omission of the other party (whether or not such act or omission constitutes a breach of this agreement) or a third party provided however that any delay by a subcontractor or supplier of the party so delaying shall not relieve that party from liability for delay except where such delay is beyond the reasonable control of the sub-contractor or supplier concerned. The performance of the affected party’s obligations shall be suspended during the period that the relevant circumstances persist and, if applicable to any obligation under this agreement, any Project Document or other document created pursuant to or incorporated by reference into this agreement, the affected party shall be granted an extension of time for performance equal to the period of the delay. Except where such delay is caused by the act or omission of the other party (in which event the rights, remedies and liabilities of the parties shall be those conferred and imposed by the other terms of this agreement and by law) any costs arising from such delay shall be borne by the party incurring the same. Both parties will in any event use all reasonable endeavors to mitigate the impact of any event of force majeure and to recommence performance of their obligations under this agreement as soon as reasonably possible

A team of INNOVIA help desk advisers receive and log the initial call from Customer Contact. The help desk will identify the caller and log the software issue. They have access to an extensive knowledge database and should an adviser be unable to immediately resolve the issue it is escalated to the second line help desk and if necessary, thereafter in accordance with section
4.8 of this Schedule 1
4.2
Software issues referred to the second line help desk will be handled by the appropriately qualified consultant who will attempt to simulate the issue through a process of replication. If the consultant is unable to replicate the issue, INNOVIA will seek to investigate the issue using a remote diagnostic link to the Software, Third Party Software or SaaS Service
4.3
If, following the remote diagnostic process, the issue remains unresolved then it will be referred to the product support manager. Following a review of the issue the product support manager may form a virtual team. This virtual team is explained in greater detail below as it represents an important stage in the resolution of the most difficult issues
4.4
To ensure that the virtual team contains the necessary expertise, team members will be resourced from throughout INNOVIA. The team may include operating system experts, database consultants as well as application consultants with the most appropriate skills for the product(s) concerned. Depending on the nature of the issue the team may also include the software authors. At all times the main focus and priority of the virtual team will be the resolution of the issue and a team leader will be appointed to help co-ordinate the process
The virtual team will work to eliminate those areas that may be causing the problem. These may include the database, the operating system, application(s), data, network and communications or possibly user error. Progress on the resolution will be reported back to ensure that the process remains focused. Details of the issue and the action taken will be recorded in the knowledge database and the issue logging database
4.5 Reporting an Error to INNOVIA
INNOVIA will provide telephone and email access to the Help Desk during the Support Hours,
| E-Mail: | support@innovia.com |
| Telephone: | +1-855-856-8764 |
If the Customer has purchased Support outside of Support Hours, such Support shall be for Priority Levels 1 and 2 only as defined in section 4.9 of this Schedule 1. The Support Contacts should use their training and their own internal knowledgebase to attempt to resolve any issue prior to it being reported to INNOVIA. To ensure that Errors are handled efficiently and effectively, contact with INNOVIA shall only be made by the Support Contacts
4.6 On contacting INNOVIA, the Support Contacts will have to provide
- Caller Name and Email Address
- Company Name and Contact ID
- Application Name, Module and Version Number
- Full Description of Error including Error Codes
INNOVIA will establish the Priority Classification of each Support issue in consultation with the Support Contact

4.8 Software Errors are resolved as follows
Front Line Support – A representative from the Help Desk takes the initial issue and attempts an expeditious resolution after recording, analyzing, referring to the knowledgebase data and using its best endeavors to resolve the issue
Second Line Support – Software Errors are escalated to Second Line teams (generally, if the issue has not been resolved by Front Line Support within 15 minutes). Each second line team is formed from functional specialists who will seek to resolve the issue in accordance with section 4.2 of this Schedule 1
Third Line Support – Second Line Support will escalate Software Errors to INNOVIA product support managers investigate all issues where the Second Line team needs guidance from product specialists. In relation to Errors or issues concerning Third Party Software, product support managers may escalate such issues to the software manufacturers and in such circumstances will work with them in order to provide a resolution or workaround as quickly as possible. In most cases the Error correction updates will be made available in the next Service Pack
4.9 Software Errors are prioritized as follows

4.11 Error resolution management
In order to fully diagnose an issue INNOVIA may need to recreate it on a test system. INNOVIA maintains a test system for the two most recent releases of the Software. INNOVIA’s ability to provide solutions to any issues encountered on older releases may be constrained to general advice and guidance or workarounds already known to INNOVIA and contained in its support knowledge-base.
In order to protect their product’s integrity, the Vendors strive to control the development and distribution of patches in favour of incorporating fixes into Service Packs. If INNOVIA and the Vendors cannot provide the Customer with a viable workaround or the issue is time-critical such that it poses a serious disruption to its business, INNOVIA will consider the business case for developing a patch to solve the issue. The business case will be determined by taking account of the
- Loss or disruption suffered as result of the issue
- Likelihood that the issue will impact other users of the same release
- Amount of effort that will be necessary to expend on developing and testing the patch
- Risk that the patch may impact INNOVIA products’ integrity
- Time saved over waiting for the fix to be incorporated into a Service Pack
4.12 SaaS Service Levels
SaaS service levels are to be provided during the System Environment Operational Hours and are at all times subject to the System Environment Maintenance Hours, the System Environment Downtime requirements and to the following SaaS Service
Level exclusions
4.12.1 the free tier of the AzureTM Active Directory
4.12.2 the developer tier of the AzureTM API Management Service and BizTalkTM services
4.12.3 Azure Mobile Services, AzureTM Multi-Factor Authentication, Azure Remote App and other related services AzureTM offers in connection with its SaaS service from time to time unless otherwise agreed to by INNOVIA in writing
4.12.4 performance or end-to-end bandwidth across public networks such as the Internet
For the avoidance of doubt, the assumptions INNOVIA has used in agreeing to these service levels are based upon information obtained from the Customer and INNOVIA’s understanding of the Customer’s proposed use of the System Environment. If those assumptions change, then these service levels will be subject to change
| SaaS Service Levels |
| System Environment Maintenance Hours |
|
System Environment Maintenance Hours are the hours from 23.00 to 06.00 each day during which the Systems Environment may be interrupted to the Customer for carrying out routine maintenance activities required by professional computing practice, including Offline backup Software maintenance work, including testing new versions Testing restart and recovery Implementation of release upgrades and service packs for System Environment components
Reboots of the System Environment may be required during maintenance work and Customer Users are advised not to use the platform during these periods. For the avoidance of doubt, downtime due to maintenance works carried out during System Environment Operational Hours will form part of the Systems Environment Downtime calculation
|
| System Environment Operational Hours |
|
The System Environment Operational Hours are periods of time during which the System Environment will be made available subject to the Service Levels for routine Customer processing requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Systems Environment will be generally available for routine processing requirements at all times outside the System Environment Operational Hours but during such periods operations will not be subject to Service Levels Systems Environment Operational Hours will be between 0600hrs and 2300hrs each day Generally maintenance work will not be performed during System Environment Operational Hours unless it is unavoidable |
| System Environment Downtime |
|
Systems Environment Downtime is the total number of hours in a calendar month that the Systems Environment is unavailable for the Customer’s use, due to a cause that is the primary responsibility of INNOVIA or its contractors, during Systems Environment Operational Hours and is expressed as a percentage of Systems Environment Operational Hours System Environment Downtime is calculated as the total hours of downtime in a calendar month that have accumulated from such causes during Systems Environment Operational Hours, (where those Incidents have had downtime in excess of 5 minutes) plus (+) maintenance works carried out during System Environment Operational Hours in the same period divided by (/) Systems Environment Operational Hours in the same period times (x) 100%. Systems Environment Downtime so calculated shall not exceed 1% in any Calendar Month Expressly excluded from any Systems Environment Downtime calculations is downtime due to force majeure, time to implement agreed upgrades to Third Party Software or other reasons not within the responsibility of INNOVIA and its contractors, including without limitation the Customer or Customer User’s inability to access the System Environment due to a public communications facility or network including the Internet |
| Maintenance Notification Service | Level | |
| Type of Maintenance | Anticipated Downtime | Advance Notice to be Given |
| Planned (e.g. upgrades of hardware or software) | As estimated | Seventy-two (72) hours 3 working days |
| Unplanned | Up to two (2) hours | Not < four (4) hours |
| Urgent or emergency works | As estimated | As much as reasonably practical |

The Customer is not obliged to implement an Enhancement unless
- The version which the Customer is running is due to be dropped from INNOVIA’s Supported Software List
- The Enhancement will fix a known support issue
Implementation of any Enhancement or New Release by INNOVIA will be managed in accordance with INNOVIA’s change policies at the time and charged for at INNOVIA’s then current daily rates
4.14 Termination of Third Party Software Support
In the event that any Third Party Software Vendor terminates INNOVIA’s right to continue to provide Support to the Customer for its Third Party Software, INNOVIA shall use its reasonable endeavours to source a replacement supplier for such Support where possible. In the event that INNOVIA is unable to source a replacement supplier, INNOVIA may terminate upon twenty (20) days written notice to the Customer its obligations under this Agreement to support the relevant software. For the avoidance of doubt any such Vendor may also be able to source an alternative supplier of support for the Third Party Software and the Customer agrees to contact that Vendor and deal in good faith with both the Vendor and INNOVIA in connection with finding such replacement supplier
