2. Metered Support Services

All support features listed in this section are valued in x-credits and are only available 
up to the amount of x-credits available in the Customer's support account at the time of the 
support incident. Additional x-credits may be purchased and spent on additional support at 
any time (provided such credits have not expired according to Section 3e).  All references to 
"cost" in this section mean the cost in x-credits based on the x-credit value of the service.  
All references to "billing" in this section mean the deduction of accumulated x-credits from 
the support account of the Customer.

    a. Email Support

    Email support (addressed to support@extjs.com) is valued per incident, with all emails 
    in a single related thread constituting all of the email support required to resolve that 
    incident. Email support costs 10 x-credits per incident, and can contain 1 or more emails 
    with no limit to the  total number.  If telephone support is also required to resolve the 
    incident, the cost for the telephone support is added separately and billed in addition 
    to the email support cost under the terms of Section 2b. Support request emails determined 
    to be unrelated to the original email in a support thread shall constitute a new support 
    incident at the sole discretion of Ext support personnel.

    b. Telephone Support

    Telephone support is valued in 30 minute increments, with a 30 minute minimum x-credit 
    cost per call (even if the call does not have an actual duration of 30 minutes).  Each 30 
    minutes of telephone support costs 25 x-credits, and the number of separate phone calls 
    is limited only by the total cost in x-credits available in the Customer's support account 
    balance.  Telephone support must be scheduled in advance so that Ext and the Customer can 
    establish mutually-agreeable availability, and Ext agrees to complete the scheduling of 
    telephone support within the telephone support response time listed in the appropriate 
    plan in section 1.

    c. Expert Services

    Expert services include, but are not limited to, remote trouble-shooting on the Customer's 
    computer systems, performance tuning and code review of the Customer's application code 
    by Ext support staff, and on-site training of Customer staff by Ext training staff.  Each 
    30 minutes of any expert service except on-site training costs 25 x-credits with a 30 
    minute minimum x-credit cost per request (even if the service does not have an actual 
    duration of 30 minutes).  On-site training costs will be quoted on request based on the 
    specifics of the training and travel requirements. Customers are responsible for all travel 
    expenses incurred during the performance of on-site training. All requests for expert 
    services must be scheduled in advance so that Ext and the Customer can establish mutually-
    agreeable availability.

3. Terms of Support

    a. Hours of Availability

    Access to all web-based support features (online documentation and source code, online 
    help forums) are generally available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year 
    barring unforeseen interruptions in Internet service or planned exceptions by Ext.  
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such availability is not 
    guaranteed by Ext.  All metered support services are also generally available 24 x 7 x 365, 
    although the response to each request for metered support may not happen immediately, and 
    will be governed by the response time terms outlined in section 3b.  Any planned 
    exceptions to the availability of support services will be communicated on the Ext 
    website as far in advance as possible.

    b. Response Time

    The response time listed in each support plan is the elapsed time between the receipt 
    of a support request via email or telephone and the time when Ext begins the support 
    service, including a verbal or written confirmation to the Customer thereof.  The actual 
    time required to fully resolve the support request, if such full resolution occurs, may 
    be longer than the maximum response time listed.

    c. Ext's Responsibilities

    Ext will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer to resolve problems in 
    its use of the Software as described in Section 1.  Ext makes no guarantee that it can, 
    or will, solve any problems with respect to the Software presented by Customer, and 
    further disclaims any warranties above and beyond any limited warranties that may have 
    been expressly made by Ext in the Software License Agreement.
 
    Ext will offer Services for the then-current version of the Software.  For not less 
    than twelve (12) months from the release date of the then current version, Ext will also 
    offer Services for the immediately preceding major version of the then-current version.  
    A major version of the Software is defined as the number in the version preceding the 
    first decimal place, e.g., version 1.5 has a major version of 1 (and a minor version of 
    .5).  As an example, if 3.1 is the current major version, then any version of the 
    Software numbered 2.x would be supported until version 4.x becomes current, at which time 
    support for all 2.x versions of the Software would no longer be offered.

    d. Customer's Responsibilities

    Customer is responsible for all hardware, operating systems, network setup, network 
    maintenance and setup and use of any file access control systems required in the support 
    of the Software.  Customer may be required to grant Ext certain limited access rights 
    to Customer's proprietary computer systems in order that Ext may render support Services.

    Customer is responsible for ensuring that its personnel have sufficient training to 
    attain and maintain competence in the operation of the Software.  If Ext determines, 
    in its sole discretion, in responding to a Customer request for email or telephone 
    Support, that the solution is provided in available media (including, but not limited 
    to, the source code documentation, tutorials and examples, websites or support forums), 
    Ext may direct Customer's personnel to the appropriate media for the solution to the 
    problem.  Even if the support request is resolved in so doing, any minimum support 
    charges outlined in section 2 would still apply.

    e. TERM AND TERMINATION

    Ext's provision of the Services to Customer will commence on the Effective Date and 
    will continue for an initial term of one (1) year.  At the end of the term the Services 
    automatically terminate and any accumulated x-credits that have not been spent will be 
    lost.  The Customer may choose to renew Services at any level at any time, subject to 
    Ext’s written agreement, but x-credits from previous support terms will not be applied 
    to the new term at the time of renewal and must be used during the term in which they 
    were purchased.

4. Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability

Ext shall not be responsible to provide Services to the extent that the issue is caused by 
(a) Customer’s misuse, improper use, mis-configuration, alteration, or damage to the Software; 
(b) Customer’s use of the Software with any hardware or software not supplied or supported by 
Ext; (c) Customer’s failure to install an update to the Software if such update would have 
resolved the issue; or (d) otherwise uses in a manner not in accordance with the Agreement. 
xt shall have no responsibility for loss of or damage to Customer’s data, regardless of the 
cause of any such loss or damage.

THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO 
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FURNISHED TO CUSTOMER HEREUNDER. EXT SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES 
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, 
MERCHANTABILITY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. NO REPRESENTATION OR OTHER AFFIRMATION OF FACT, WHETHER 
MADE BY EXT EMPLOYEES OR OTHERWISE, WHICH IS NOT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED TO 
BE A WARRANTY BY EXT FOR ANY PURPOSE OR GIVE RISE TO ANY LIABILITY OF EXT WHATSOEVER. 

IN NO EVENT (i) SHALL EXT'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES 
CAUSED BY THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE COMPLAINED OF, (ii) SHALL EXT'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY 
FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID HEREUNDER, OR (iii) SHALL EXT BE LIABLE FOR 
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO 
LOST BUSINESS PROFITS AND THE LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF DATA) EVEN IF EXT HAS BEEN ADVISED 
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME. No limitation as to damages for personal injury is hereby 
intended. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential 
damages under certain circumstances and the above exclusion or limitation may not apply.
