ActiveState reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to limit or cancel the Support Services, in whole or in part: (1) for any module, extension, script or other software program that has become obsolete or has been superseded by more recent modules, extensions, scripts or programs or (2) upon the discontinuance of support by the manufacturer of a platform, to limit or cancel support for such platform (the “Archived Platform”) upon notice to Customer. In such a case, ActiveState will provide Customer with the most recent stable version of the Products (as distributed regularly from the ActiveState Platform) for the Archived Platform, so long as Customer is current in payment of the Fees. Customer acknowledges that the Support Services, including that for an Archived Platform, may, at ActiveState’s sole discretion, be limited to ActiveState’s commercially reasonable efforts and that major fixes may no longer be possible.
ActiveState will provide the Support Services solely to Customer’s two (2) designated contacts and any additional contacts for which ActiveState has paid applicable Fees. ActiveState does not provide the Support Services for software that Customer has modified. ActiveState will only provide the Support Services with respect to Products made available to Customer via the ActiveState Platform, and products or other software downloaded from ActiveState’s public website at www.activestate.com will not be covered by the Support Services and are not supported under this Agreement. For clarity, Customer acknowledges and agrees that ActiveState’s sole obligation under this Agreement with respect to any such maintenance and support issue is limited to response and diagnosis of the maintenance and support issue, and such efforts of ActiveState may not render a conclusive “fix” to the maintenance and support issue identified by Customer in all cases. ActiveState will not provide any support services to customer’s third-party customers.
