Support for Good Solutions

Legacy Support and Maintenance Terms

These Support and Maintenance Terms apply to Good for Enterprise, Good EMM Suites and to Good Secure Applications, collectively “Good” proprietary software products. For clarity, these Support and Maintenance Terms do not apply to Good Powered by BlackBerry Secure Software* or the associated Good Secure Suites.

Please note that Good does not warrant, support or maintain any third party product, even if such product is resold by Good, or used in connection with Good products or services.

1. DEFINITIONS.

“Add-On Products” as used herein means software modules or services provided by Good or its partner with functionality and features that are supplemental or additional to core Software functionality and may be enabled or disabled or held back without delivery by Good without disrupting a Customer’s use of such Software functionality.

“Application” means a Customer-proprietary or third-party mobile device software application program that has been wrapped in accordance with the Documentation or modified by Customer or any Good-authorized third party developer in accordance with the Good Dynamics Software Development Kit (SDK) Developer Terms and Conditions, to use and/or incorporate any of the Good Dynamics Software. “Application” also includes bug fixes, updates, and upgrades of such third-party software application programs. Applications may be available on a commercial basis from Good-approved software vendors and third-party resellers (e.g., iTunes or Android Market, etc.). Certain Applications may be resold by Good; however, unless otherwise expressly stated on the Order Form, Good does not support or license any resold Applications. For clarity, Applications are not Good Software and Good does not warrant, support or maintain Applications.

“Customer” means an enterprise or government organization that is a licensee for the Software.

“Eligible Customer” means a Customer who is current on support and maintenance payments to Good for the entire duration of time for which Customer has had each license or a Customer that has licensed Software on a subscription term basis and has paid all applicable fees.

“End of Life” means the date after which Good will no longer offer and Customer will no longer receive service and support for such Software. Good shall provide notice of such End of Life Software at https://us.blackberry.com/support/business/software-support-life-cycle.

“Good” means Good Technology Corporation.

“Ineligible Customer” means a Customer who is not current on support and maintenance payments to Good for the entire duration of time for which Customer has had each license or a Customer that has not remitted all fees associated with Software licensed on a subscription term basis. An Ineligible Customer may become an Eligible Customer with Good’s written confirmation that such Customer has either satisfied its payment obligations in arrears for licenses previously purchased OR purchased new licenses at the then current license rates.

“Major Release” as used herein means a release designated by Good as a major version release with material enhancements and/or additional features, typically designated either (i) as a change in version number to the left of the decimal and/or (ii) a release of a newly supported handset platform operating system or data source.

“Permanent Solution” shall mean a patch, service pack, or build and is only applicable when no resolution or workaround is available.

“Software” means the Software Customer has licensed under an Order Form that has been accepted by Good or a Good authorized reseller. For clarity, Software includes Good Dynamics Software.

“Supported Software” means Good’s Software that is supported under the terms of this agreement at the level of support as specified in the applicable Order Form. Good reserves the sole discretion to modify what Software is excluded from the support and maintenance terms set forth below. Supported Software does not include Applications. Support for client Applications is solely the responsibility of the Developer associated with each Application. Please contact the Application Developer for technical support, questions or errors that are specific to an Application.

“Supplements” as used herein means all patches, bug fixes, and minor upgrades (releases without enhancements or new features) of the Software which Good makes generally available, typically designated as a change in version number to the right of the decimal place.

“Update Frequency” means updates provided by Good to the Customer concerning the Incident.

Good will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the hosted services performed by Good’s network operation center with Customer’s server across a wired network and with supported handheld devices wirelessly available to Customer at least 99.50% of the time, excluding excusable downtime (e.g., scheduled maintenance or causes beyond Good’s reasonable control).

Good may perform remote diagnostics to determine the existence and nature of an Incident, subject to the Customer’s reasonable security policies. Good 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.

Exclusions. Good 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.
