Platform Maintenance and Support (M&S) Entitlement:
You are entitled to receive M&S from Platform, if you are subscribing for M&S and paying the annual M&S fees. These fees are in addition to the fees paid to license the Software. The initial M&S term is for a period of one year, commencing upon your receipt of an email containing the Software license key. After the initial term, M&S can be renewed for successive one-year terms, upon payment of the M&S fees, in advance of each renewal year. In the event that you fail to pay M&S fees, Platform may suspend service provision until overdue amounts are paid in full.
Services requests to Platform Technical Support should be made by “Qualified Contacts” – technically trained and capable individuals who understand your compute environment. Requests to Platform Technical Support that are not from Qualified Contacts may require Platform to designate additional support resources to you as a professional services engagement.
