This support services agreement is between OpenLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the customer identified on a Work Order signed by both parties ("Customer"). This agreement is effective as of the Effective Date stated on the relevant Work Order.
The parties agree as follows:
1. Services. OpenLogic will provide the services as described below and set forth in each Work Order issued under this agreement (the "Services"). All services provided by OpenLogic to Customer will be governed by the terms of this agreement and the Work Order applicable to those services.
1.1. Technical Support Description. Technical support includes assistance with problem resolution and "how to" questions as well as advice and recommendations on installation, configuration, integration, and open source package selection. Each single unique defect or question about an open source package will be counted as an incident. Technical support incidents can be submitted via email, by phone, or through complimentary access to the OLEX Support Edition. The number of incidents Customer can submit will be determined on the applicable Work Order.
2. Fees and Expenses. Customer will pay the fees set forth in each Work Order ("Fees"). Unless otherwise stated in the Work Order, OpenLogic will invoice Customer in advance for all Fees due under this agreement. Customer will reimburse OpenLogic for all pre-approved, reasonable, and documented expenses incurred by OpenLogic in the performance of the Services ("Expenses"). Customer will pay all invoiced amounts within 30 days of the date of the invoice. All Fees and Expenses are payable in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified in writing.
2.1. Taxes. Customer will be liable for all taxes and other governmental charges imposed on the Services or any amounts paid to OpenLogic under this agreement, except for taxes based on OpenLogic's net income.
3. Term and Termination. The term of this agreement will commence on the Work Order Effective Date. Unless earlier terminated, the term of this agreement will continue so long as there is an uncompleted Work Order pending under this agreement. Either party may terminate this agreement any time upon 30 days notice to the other party, so long as there is no uncompleted Work Order pending under this agreement. If twelve consecutive months pass during which time there is no active Work Order pending under this agreement, then this agreement will automatically terminate at the end of such twelve month period.

Customer may terminate this agreement for convenience upon 14 days notice to OpenLogic; in such event, Customer will forfeit any pre-paid Fees and remain liable for any remaining payment installments or other fixed price Fees as per any pending Work Order.
