Plex Customer Care Plans

General. Plex Customer Care Plans describe the terms and conditions for the Customer Care Plan identified in the Customer Order Form. Use of the Plex Subscription Services is subject to and governed exclusively by the Rockwell Automation Software and Cloud Services Agreement (the “SCSA”) https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/company/about-us/legal-notices/software-cloud-services-agreement.html. In the event of a conflict between any Customer Care Plan and the SCSA, the SCSA will govern. Capitalized terms not defined in the Plan are defined in the SCSA.

Customer Obligations. Customer has the following obligations regarding the Customer Care Plans: i) Customer has paid all required Fees; ii) All requests for support services are submitted as required by the Plan; iii) Customer reasonably and promptly cooperates with Rockwell Automation in providing the support services; iv) Customer operates the Subscription Services in accordance with the Documentation or otherwise recommended by Rockwell Automation; and v) Customer will ensure all relevant personnel have been trained in the proper use and operation of the Subscription services.

Exclusions. Rockwell Automation shall have no obligation to provide support services for issues that are based on or arise out of, as determined by Rockwell Automation, the following: i) Use of the Subscription Services in violation of the SCSA or Documentation (including non-payment of Fees); ii) Use of the Subscription Services in combination with any other equipment, software, or materials, including third-party processes not supported by the Documentation; iii) Hardware, operating systems, networks, third-party software alterations, add-ons, applications developed using the software, customizations, or modifications to the Subscription Services not supported by the Documentation; iv) Issues due to any factors beyond Rockwell Automation’s reasonable control; v) Any version of the Subscription Services for which support service has been discontinued by Rockwell Automation; vi) Professional Services beyond the scope of Customer Plans; or vii) Failure to meet Customer obligations or other issues in Customer systems or internet services.

EDI Support.  Customer Care Plans provide support for basic functionality of the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) product, including initial triage and general troubleshooting. Additional services for EDI, including other enhancement requirements gathering, configuration and/or testing for provisioning, new trading partners, and updates to existing trading partners, are beyond the scope of the Customer Care Plans and may be addressed through a Professional Services engagement provided at the current hourly rates.

Enhanced Business Continuity (“EBC”). Customers subscription to EBC means that any system maintenance, backup and upgrade functions performed during a weekly or biweekly scheduled maintenance period as set forth in the Scheduled and Unscheduled Maintenance sections will be limited on a calendar year basis to (i) sixty (60) minutes for ten (10) calendar months during a Scheduled Maintenance Period, and (ii) two hundred and forty (240) minutes for two (2) calendar months during a Scheduled Maintenance Period.

Changes. Support Services are subject to change at Plex’s discretion; however, no change will result in a material reduction in the level of the Support Services provided for the Software during the Term of Use for which you have paid for Support Services.

Fees. Fees for Customer Care Plans are set forth in the Order Form and are non-refundable and non-cancellable during the Term of Use.

Renewals. All Customer Care Plans will automatically be renewed unless Customer gives notice to Plex of its intent not to renew at least ninety (90) days before the expiration of the then-current Term of Use. If Customer does not renew the Customer Care Plan, Customer will have no access to support services. Customer (including end users or other Rockwell Automation approved resellers, partners, distributors, or system integrators) will not be entitled to reactivate (or transfer) support services unless i) Customer is current on all Fees due for the Subscription Services; and ii) Customer purchases a new Customer Care plan at then-current prices with a Term of Use beginning on the date of expiration of the previous Customer Care Plan Term of Use.
