1.3.1 | Development Support |
Cabot will provide support for any of the Licensees own development activities that use the Adapted Software. During each Service Period, Cabot will provide up to 20 man days of Development Support to the Licensee.
This Development Support will consist of technical assistance in respect of the Adapted Software and may take the form of answers to questions, guidance on the use of the Adapted Software, assistance with integration issues, and small amounts of development work.
If Cabot believe that a Development Support request from the Licensee will require significant development effort which is beyond the scope of the Development Support included within the Support and Maintenance Services, then Cabot will offer the Licensee alternative funded support services to meet the request.
1.3.2 | Bug Fixes |
Bug fixes for the Adapted Software can be requested from Cabot by the Licensee.
To request a bug fix the Licensee must generate a Problem Report which details an alleged malfunction of the Adapted Software.
Cabot will investigate each Problem Report received from the Licensee in order to determine whether the malfunction is the result of a failure of the Adapted Software to materially conform with its specification (an Error). Cabot will be solely responsible for determining whether a Problem Report is the result of an Error in the Adapted Software.
Cabot will only investigate Problem Reports for which it is possible to reproduce the alleged malfunction using the Development Platform at the Support Site.
Where a Problem Report is the result of an Error, Cabot will provide the Licensee with a plan to correct the Error within 2 Working Days. Cabot will bear the cost of investigating the Problem Report and fixing the Error, and will provide the Licensee with a fix for the Error in the form of a Patch (a fix for a limited number of files) or an Update (a fix for a complete software component).
Where a Problem Report is not the result of an Error, Cabot will provide the Licensee with and explanation, and will detail the action Cabot could take to resolve the problem. If the Licensee wishes Cabot to undertake work to resolve the problem then this request will be treated as Development Support.
During each Service Period Cabot will provide up to 20 man days of Problem Report investigation effort for Problem Reports that are not the result of an Error.

1.3.3 | Updates |
For time to time Cabot may make Updates to its standard Software. An Update will consist of a complete release of a software component intended to fix a number of Errors which may have previously been fixed using separate Patches.
During the Service Period if Cabot makes an Update to its standard Software then Cabot will release to the Licensee an Updated version of the Adapted Software.
This Update will become the current version of the Adapted Software from the date of its release and will be the version that Cabot continue to support under this Agreement. The current version of the Adapted Software immediately preceding the Update will be supported by Cabot for 6 months following the date of the Update.
1.3.4 | Notification of Upgrades |
During the Service Period Cabot will notify the Licensee of any Upgrades to its standard Software that form part of the Adapted Software. The Licensee may acquire these Upgrades subject to a separate Agreement.
1.4 | Release Testing |
Any Patches, Updates, Upgrades or other software developed as part of the Support and Maintenance Services will be tested to Cabot’s normal standards of software testing and will not undergo formal [Validation Testing].
If the Licensee requests that Cabot carry out Validation Testing of any released software then Cabot may do so at its sole discretion provided that the Licensee agrees to pay for this additional service at the rate set out in section 1.7.
