Customer will be solely responsible for all content and data placed upon the Subscription Services Platform by Customer or Customer’s authorized users of the Subscription Services.
5.2 Restrictions. Customer will not (a) modify, enhance, copy or create derivative works based upon the Subscription Services or the user documentation and other supplemental materials associated with Subscription Services (the “User Documentation”) without Supplier’s prior written consent in each instance.

Customer will not use the Subscription Services Platform to make unauthorized attempts to access the systems and networks of others.
5.6 U.S. Government License Rights. If Customer is a U.S. Government entity, then all Subscription Services and other services provided to Customer are provided under the commercial license rights and restrictions generally applicable under this Agreement.

Supplier also may increase the Subscription Services Fees during any Subscription Services Term if Customer extends the use of the Subscription Services to additional users, or extends the use of the Subscription Services such that the extension changes the current Product Tier or requires the use of additional storage to accommodate additional Customer data, objects/images or product installation. Any such increase in the Subscription Services Fees will be prorated for the then remaining portion of such Subscription Services Term and effective thirty (30) days following Supplier’s invoice to Customer for such increase. Any such increase must be approved by DIR and reflected in Appendix C of DIR Contract No. DIR-TSO-3418.

Supplier’s then-current, published Price Book, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.

Customer agrees the actual damages in the event of such termination would be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that such termination charges are intended, therefore, to establish liquidated damages for such early termination and are not intended as a penalty.

Schedule B – Lexmark Enterprise Software Service Level Summary
1. Subscription Services Availability Commitment. Supplier’s Subscription Services availability commitment is to provide Customer the ability to access the Subscription Services Platform 99.9% of the time, and Supplier will provide adequate Subscription Services Platform hardware and OS health to meet such stated uptime. These commitments do not constitute a warranty or guarantee, and the Subscription Services are subject to the limitation of warranties as provided in this Agreement.
2. Scheduled Maintenance. “Scheduled Maintenance” will mean any maintenance of the Subscription Services Platform: (a) of which Customer is notified thirty-six (36) hours in advance; (b) that is performed during a standard maintenance window from 12AM to 4AM within the time zone of the applicable primary deployment datacenter, unless otherwise advised by Supplier to Customer; and/or (c) that is performed during an agreed upon maintenance window. Notice of Scheduled Maintenance will be provided to Customer’s designated point of contact by email. It is Customer’s obligation to make sure Supplier has Customer’s correct contact information.
3. Urgent Maintenance. “Urgent Maintenance” will mean efforts to correct Subscription Services Platform conditions that are likely to cause a material outage of the Subscription Services and that require immediate action outside the Scheduled Maintenance window. Supplier may undertake Urgent Maintenance at any time it deems necessary and will provide notice of Urgent Maintenance to Customer as soon as is commercially practicable under the circumstances. Urgent Maintenance will entitle Customer to service credits as set forth in Section 5 below.
4. Outage. An “Outage” will mean any fifteen (15) consecutive minutes during which Customer is unable to access the Subscription Services Platform.
5. Service Credits. Customer may obtain service credits if Supplier fails to meet any of the service commitments described in this Service Level Summary. The service credit(s) are limited to an amount equal to the then-current equivalent monthly recurring fees for the Subscription Services (the “Equivalent Monthly Fee”). In order to receive a service credit, Customer must notify Supplier’s Subscription Services Support by opening a case through Supplier’s online support site within twenty-four (24) hours of an Outage, or within thirty (30) calendar days of Supplier’s failure to meet any other service commitment as provided in this Service Level Summary. Supplier must verify the service commitment violation described in each case. Customer must submit a written request for a service credit, including the case number, to Supplier within five (5) calendar days of opening the case. The service credits are Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Supplier’s failure to meet any of the service commitments provided in this Service Level Summary, and any other terms of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any liability of Supplier to Customer or any third party for any failure of Supplier to meet any of such service commitments or to otherwise provide the Subscription Services will not exceed an amount equal to the applicable service credits.
6. Service Credit Exceptions. Service credits will not be issued when the Subscription Services are unavailable as a result of the following “Excluded Outages”: (a) Scheduled Maintenance, (b) interruptions caused by the negligence, error or omission of Customer or other users of the Customer’s Subscription Services, (c) Customer’s applications, equipment, or facilities, including the Customer Facilities and Customer’s connection to the Internet, (d) acts or omissions of Customer, or any misuse of the Subscription Services, (e) reasons of Force Majeure (as defined in Section 15.15 of the Agreement), (f) interruptions arising from Customer’s use of the Subscription Services in an unauthorized or unlawful manner or in violation of this Agreement, (g) interruptions arising from a Supplier disconnect for non-payment or an interruption due to improper or inaccurate network specifications provided by Customer, (h) interruptions during any period when Customer or other user has released the Subscription Services to Supplier for maintenance or rearrangement purposes, or for the installation of a Customer service order, and/or (i) interruptions during any period when Customer elects not to release the Subscription Services for testing and/or repair and continues to use the Subscription Services on an impaired basis.
7. Calculation. Subscription Service availability consists of the number of minutes in a month that the Subscription Services were available less unavailable minutes due to an Outage. An Outage will not include an Excluded Outage, any inability of Customer to access or interact with the Subscription Services Platform arising from Customer’s failure to meet any Customer responsibilities provided in this Agreement including, without limitation, in this Service Level Summary.
The calculation for Subscription Service availability is: 100 *(1 – (Sum of Outage Duration/Total Available Time))
8. Subscription Service Availability Remedy. [See SaaS Availability and Service Credit Research re scale of remedies] In the event that, for a particular month, the Subscription Service availability falls below the commitment set forth above, Customer will receive a service credit for the Subscription Services affected for such month in accordance with the following calculation:
20% * (Current Equivalent Monthly Fee – Any credit for other remedies applied for that particular Subscription
Service)
Example: Customer’s Subscription Services have monthly base fee of $500 Outage of 2.5 hours or 150 minutes in April
April has 43,200 minutes (30 calendar days * 24 hours * 60 minutes) Subscription Service Availability is: 100* (1-(150/43,200)) = 99.65%
Credit: 20% * ($500) = $100
9. Data Backup and Recovery. Data is backed up locally and replicated daily and retained for at least fourteen (14) calendar days. Backups are tested periodically for data integrity.
