TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Whereas, this Maintenance Agreement shall remain in effect until any termination of the Agreement.
Whereas, this Maintenance Agreement states the terms and conditions under which Cinsay shall provide maintenance and support services to the Licensee for the Cinsay Platform; provided, however, that Licensee is current and in good standing with regard to all payments required under the Agreement.

The term "commercially available" means that such item has been made generally commercially available in a post-beta (i.e., a production) version.
|
1.2.
|
Support. Beginning on the Effective Date, Cinsay will provide Licensee with technical support ("Support"). Only designated Support contact(s) may make support requests via Cinsay's support line and/or support e-mail address. Support will include:

correcting and/or providing workarounds for identified errors or malfunctions, where reasonably available to Cinsay.
|
1.3.
