6. TIMELINESS OF INCIDENT RESOLUTION:
The level of support that 3D Nature can provide is dependent upon the cooperation of the CUSTOMER and the quality
of information that the CUSTOMER can provide.
If 3D Nature can not reproduce a problem or if the CUSTOMER can not successfully gather adequate troubleshooting
information, 3D Nature may need to obtain a copy of the entire project and all associated files on CD to further
address the problem.
This contract is NOT designed for basic support or to cover materials that are of introductory manner. In order
to make sure that support is always prompt and beneficial to the CUSTOMER, it is assumed that the CUSTOMER will
have a basic understanding of the product and will be familiar with concepts explained in the documentation.
3D Nature shall use reasonable effort to provide modifications or additions to correct
errors in the SOFTWARE reported by CUSTOMER. Upon receipt of notice of an error, 3D Nature will assign a priority
level as determined by 3D Nature to the error according to the following criteria:
Priority A - An error that results in the SOFTWARE being substantially
or completely nonfunctional or inoperative.
Priority B - An error in the SOFTWARE that prohibits the CUSTOMER from
performing tasks that the SOFTWARE is usually capable of performing. 3D Nature
Technical Staff will determine the validity of a "bug". User assumptions or
desires for how the product "should" work will be taken into consideration for
future releases but will not be treated as a "bug.")
Priority C - An error that results in the SOFTWARE operating or performing
other than as represented in the Documentation, but which does not have a material
adverse impact on the performance of the SOFTWARE.
3D Nature will make reasonable efforts to correct the error or provide a work-around solution for each priority
level and, if a work-around is the immediate solution, will make reasonable efforts to provide a final resolution
of the error. Reasonable effort will be made to respond to the incident within the following time frames after
receiving notice and sufficient information and support from the CUSTOMER:
Priority Level Correction or Work-Around
Priority A: 2 business days
