cases that have been opened by Licensee with TSI.
Section 6 - Warranty and Limited Liability
Software Warranty: TSI warrants that, for a period of ninety (90) days
from the initial delivery of the Software Program to Licensee, the
Software Program, if used by Licensee in accordance with the
Documentation, shall operate in material conformity with the
Documentation for such Software Program. TSI does not warrant that the
Software Program will meet all of Licensee requirements or that the
use of the Software Program will be uninterrupted or error free. TSI's
entire liability, and Licensee exclusive remedy, under this limited
Software Warranty shall be for TSI (i) to attempt, through reasonable
efforts, to correct any reproducible material nonconformity discovered
within the ninety (90) day warranty period; or (ii) to replace the
nonconforming Software Program with Software Program which conforms to
the foregoing warranty. In the event TSI is unable to cure the breach
of warranty described in this Section 6, after attempting the remedies
described in (i) and (ii) above, Licensee may return the Software
Program and TSI shall refund any license and maintenance fees paid by
Licensee to TSI for the Software Program provided the refund of
maintenance fees shall be limited to the amount representing the
period during which the Software Program showed nonconformity. The
above remedies are available only if TSI is promptly notified in
writing, within the warranty period, upon discovery of the
nonconformity by Licensee and TSI's examination of the Software
Program discloses that such nonconformity exists, and that the
Software Program has not been (i) altered or modified, other than by
TSI, (ii) subjected to negligence, or computer or electrical
malfunctions, or (iii) used, adjusted, or installed other than in
accordance with the Documentation.
TSIMS and Other Services Warranty: TSI warrants that any TSIMS or
other services performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
shall be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner
consistent with generally accepted industry standards.
Disclaimer: THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE
EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR
STATUTORY WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM, AND TSI EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Limitation of Liability: IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S LIABILITY
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID OR DUE TO TSI HEREUNDER DURING A FULL YEAR
IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SUCH EVENT. IF SUCH LIABILITY RELATES TO
PARTICULAR ITEMS OF SOFTWARE PROGRAM OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY TSI, SUCH
LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES PAID FOR THE RELEVANT SOFTWARE
PROGRAM OR SERVICES. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR COSTS OF
PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, WHETHER OR NOT THE OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NO ACTION
MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST TSI LATER THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF
ACTION OCCURRED. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS MADE UNDER SECTION 7
(INDEMNIFICATION), IN NO EVENT SHALL TSI BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS,
DEMANDS OR ACTIONS OF ANY NATURE BROUGHT BY ANY THIRD PARTY AGAINST
LICENSEE. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE
OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
Warranty Claims: Any claims made by Licensee for the breach of a
warranty set forth in this Section 6, shall be made in writing and
delivered to TSI by the end of the applicable warranty period, and
Licensee shall provide TSI a reproducible test case, if applicable,
demonstrating the breach of warranty.
Section 7 - Indemnification
TSI warrants that the use or distribution of unaltered Software
Program(s), or the exercise of the licenses granted hereunder, will
not infringe any copyright or patent, or other intellectual property
rights of any third party, and TSI has all rights necessary for the
grant of the rights and licenses granted by this Agreement. TSI agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold Licensee harmless from any and all
actions, causes of action, claims, demands, reasonable costs,
liabilities, reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorney's
fees) and damages (collectively, a "Loss" or "Losses") arising from
any claim that the Software Program infringes any copyright or patent,
or other intellectual property right of a third party, provided,
however:
(1) Licensee shall promptly deliver to TSI notice in writing of any
infringement claim made by a third party, and, if known, specify
in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the amount, or an
estimate of the amount, of the liability arising therefrom.
Licensee shall, at TSI's expense, provide to TSI as promptly as
practicable thereafter information and documentation reasonably
requested by TSI to support and verify the claim asserted,
provided that, in so doing, TSI may restrict or condition any
disclosure in the interest of preserving privileges of importance
in any foreseeable litigation.
(2) TSI may assume and retain sole control of the investigation, the
defense or the settlement of any third party infringement claim
made against Licensee or TSI with respect to the Software Program,
including the employment of counsel or accountants, at its cost
and expense. Licensee shall have the right to employ counsel
separate from counsel employed by TSI in any such action and to
participate therein, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
employed by Licensee shall be at Licensee expense. TSI shall have
the right to determine and adopt (or, in the case of a proposal by
Licensee, to approve) a settlement of such matter in its
reasonable discretion. TSI shall not be liable for any settlement
of any claim effected without its prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Whether or not TSI chooses to
so investigate or defend such claim, Licensee shall cooperate with
TSI in the defense thereof and shall furnish such records,
information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery
proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably
requested by TSI in connection therewith.
(3) If such a claim arises, or in either party's judgment is likely to
arise, Licensee agrees to allow TSI, at TSI's option, to either
(i) procure the right to permit the continued exercise of the
rights and licenses in the Software Program granted under this
Agreement; (ii) replace or modify the Software Program so it
be-comes non-infringing, while affording equivalent performance;
or (iii) terminate the license for the infringing Software
Program and upon return thereof by Licensee, refund the unearned
portion of any license fees paid by Licensee for the remainder of
the current term hereof.
(4) TSI shall have no indemnity obligation for claims of infringement
resulting from any combination, operation or use of the Software
Program, or any components thereof, with any software programs or
data not supplied by TSI if such infringement would have been
avoided by use of the Software Program alone. Licensee
acknowledges and agrees that these four items are the exclusive
remedy of Licensee for damages for breach of warranty or
representations contained in this Section 7.
Section 8 - Termination
Should either party commit a material breach of its obligations
hereunder, the other party may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement by written notice to the party in default. Such notice
shall identify and describe the default upon which termination is
based. The defaulting party shall have thirty (30) days from the
effective delivery of the notice to cure such default, which, if
effected, shall prevent termination by virtue of such default. Should
an insolvency proceeding be filed by or against either party, the
other party may terminate this Agreement forthwith by giving a written
notice to the first party. Upon termination of this Agreement,
Licensee will either return to TSI or destroy all copies of the
Software Program and documentation then in Licensee's possession.
Licenses to the Software Program granted in the normal course of
business by Licensee to its customers shall survive termination of
this Agreement. Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days after the
date of such termination, furnish TSI with a certificate of compliance
in accordance with this Section. The parties agree that TSI shall
have the right to enforce the obligations arising under this Section
and to enjoin or compel Licensee through injunctive relief. Licensee
may retain a commercially reasonable number of copies of the Software
Program and documentation solely for the purpose of supporting
Licensee customers who purchased a Product prior to the termination of
this Agreement.
Section 9 - Export Controls
Licensee shall comply with, and ensure that Licensee sublicensees and
resellers comply with, all applicable laws, regulations, rulings and
executive orders of Japan or any other relevant jurisdiction relating
to the export and re-export of the Software Program or any products
containing the Software Program. Licensee shall not directly or
indirectly export or re-export any Software Program or any Products
containing the Software Program unless Licensee have obtained a
license to do so if such a license is required. Licensee further
agree that Licensee take appropriate measure to ensure that the
Software Program or any Products containing the Software Program will
not be exported or re-exported in violation of any applicable laws or
regulations of any relevant jurisdiction.
Section 10 - Entire Agreement
This Agreement, including any attachments, constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements, both oral and written,
representations, statements, negotiations and undertakings, with
respect to the subject matter hereof, which such agreements,
representations, statements, negotiations and undertakings are merged
herein. No amendment or modification of this Agreement or any
provision or attachment of this Agreement shall be effective unless it
is in writing and signed by both parties.
Section 11 - Governing Law
The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the substantive laws of Japan (excluding conflicts of law
principles). Licensee and TSI agree that any dispute arising out of
this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Tokyo District Court of Japan. If any legal action is undertaken to
enforce the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs in addition to any
other relief to which that party may be entitled.
You agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sales of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.
Section 12 - Assignment and Benefit
Without the consent of the other party in writing, neither party may
assign this Agreement; provided, however, TSI or Licensee may assign
this Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the respective
corporation or a corporation in which the shareholders of the
respective corporation own a majority interest of the voting control
provided that the assigning party remains obligated hereunder; further
provided, however, TSI or Licensee may assign this Agreement to
another corporation which acquires or has acquired substantially all
of the stock or assets of the assignor. If Licensee assigns this
Agreement to an assignee as permitted in this Section, the assignee's
license to use the Software Program is limited to use in Products
which were offered by Licensee to Licensee customers or potential
customers and the assignee is prohibited from use of the Software
Program in other products or parts of products developed, sold or
distributed by the assignee.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
Licensee and TSI and each party's successors, subject to the other
provisions of this Section.

7.1 Scope of Services
TSI will provide the following services to all Licensees:
- Answers to Installation and Authorization Questions
- Product Use Guidance
- Problem Diagnosis
- Licensed Software Configuration Help
- Licensed Software Updates
- New Media and documentation
- New Versions of the Licensed Software
These services exclude explicitly:
- Third-Party Products
- Hardware Platform Related Support
- Operating System Related Support
- Integration Advice or Any Other Consulting
- Training. TSI maintains training and consulting departments that
can assist, on a fee-for-service basis, with some or all of the
services explicitly excluded as above.
7.2 Limitation
TSI supports all Licensed Software as described in the then-current
price book for which an annual TSIMS fee is paid. However, TSI will
fix errors in the current version and the immediately preceding
version of the Licensed Software. The Licensee will provide TSI with
all the necessary information on the application, the platform, and
the infrastructure at the supported Site. If any of such information
is confidential, the Licensee should notify TSI.
7.3 Levels of Support
1st Level (or First Line Support) Support includes filing the problem
as an issue in TSI's database, querying the TSI database for similar
problems, bugs, and resolutions on the topic and communicating a
resolution or plan for a resolution back to the Licensee.
2nd Level Support includes further research on the issue and includes,
but is not limited to: recreating the problem in house, receiving and
working with pieces of Licensee's code that illustrate the behavior;
debugging Licensee's code and working to resolve the issue. 2nd Level
Support issues are typically assigned to a TSI Product Specialist.
3rd Level Support includes but is not limited to the assistance of
Product Support Specialists and Engineering Level Developers to assist
in debugging code, providing hints to solve the problem, working with
TSI product code to determine root causes.
When the Licensee acquires TSI products through a TSI Partner, it is
expected that the main support channel will be established through
that Partner. In that case, 1st level support will be handled by that
Partner, and TSI will communicate solely with the Partner on
Licensee's issues.
7.4 Priority of an Issue
The Licensee and TSI customer support staff shall jointly set issue
priority levels.
SEVERITY LEVEL 0 - CRISIS - An emergency deployment or production
environment situation where the Licensed Software is inoperable or
fails catastrophically and there is no workaround.
SEVERITY LEVEL 1 - HIGH - A detrimental situation where one of the
following conditions occurs:
1.) performance of the Licensed Software degrades substantially under
reasonable loads causing a severe impact on use; or 2.) one or more
primary functions or commands of the Licensed Software is inoperable.
SEVERITY LEVEL 2 - MEDIUM - Occurs when use of the Licensed Software
is noticeably affected but reasonably correctable by a workaround,
documentation change, or patch which may be completely resolved and
integrated into a future release.
SEVERITY LEVEL 3 - LOW - An inconvenient situation where the Licensed
Software is usable but does not provide a function in the most
convenient manner and the Licensee suffers little or no significant
impact.
7.5 Licensee Assistance and Responsibility in Problem Resolution
When filing an issue, Licensee shall make the following information
available to TSI:
- Maintenance Support Agreement Number
- Version (including revision level) of all TSI Licensed Software
involved and any supporting product of software involved
- Platform (Including Operating System Revision Level) of the
Operating Environment
- Error or other warning or advisory messages which you have been
receiving
- A reproducible test case where applicable
- Any trace, log, and/or console files
- Configuration files
- Severity Level of problem
- Priority Business or other justification for Severity Level 0
priority issues
- Licensee responsibility with regard to assisting in resolving the
Licensee issue includes providing a Licensee on-site technical
contact, whose availability and response should mirror the response
level requested of TSI, to provide resource and operational
assistance.
7.6 Response/Resolution Time
Within the business hours of the Customer Support Engineer responsible
for the issue:
Response Time: For the most prompt service, relevant technical detail
and quickest response time, (generally less than 1 day) issues should
be reported via email. Response to issues reported to Customer Support
through fax, or telephone may have longer response times.
Initial Analysis/Resolution Time:
Crisis Handled on a Case by Case Basis, but initial response will be
within 1 Business Day
High Within 5 Business Days
Medium Within 10 Business Days
Low Subject to Development and Customer Support Priority
Resolution means that Customer Support will use its reasonable efforts
to resolve Licensee issues as prioritized above. Resolution may
include: specification of a workaround; identification of a bug; or
the recognition that additional analysis work needs to be done, on the
part of Customer Support and the Licensee, which will extend beyond
the initial resolution time.
In all cases, resolution of issues by Customer Support will require
the Licensee to assist in the following: documentation and
reproduction of the issue; provision of a Licensee contact person with
whom TSI Customer Support can maintain contact to arrange for
analysis, testing, systems, and other resources and other tasks in
support of resolution of the Licensee's problem and to whom status
reports and requests for resources can be addressed.
Ongoing communication shall be maintained regarding Licensee issue
status and progress towards resolution between TSI Customer Support
and the Licensee's issue contact.
7.7 Notification
The Licensee will, by default, be notified by e-mail of all relevant
updates on the issue since appropriate levels of technical detail are
often best captured and presented via written e-mail.
TSI's Support staff can also maintain telephone contact with the
Licensee, if requested.
7.8 Distribution of Updates
Shipment of Updates and New Versions will be made on a request-only
basis. Requests can be made through an e-mail message.
7.9 Licensee Issues Are Typically Handled by Customer Support
Engineers
This is the primary and usual scenario. Contact is maintained between
the Licensee and the TSI Customer Support Engineer ("CSE") responsible
for the issue. The e-mail address to be used is:
