What is the Priority Software Support Services Agreement for non-Israeli customers?

It covers definitions, support models (SaaS and On-Premises), customer obligations, response times, and conditions for updates and upgrades. For full details, refer to the official agreement on Priority's website.
What are the definitions of key terms in the Priority Support Services Agreement?
Key terms include Authorized User, Business Day, Customer Content, Documentation, EULA, Fault, System, Transaction Documents, Data Protection Addendum, Update, Upgrade, and Work Hours. Each is defined in Section 1 of the agreement. For example, 'Authorized User' refers to anyone authorized by the customer to use the system with a valid license. See the full list in the agreement.
What support services does Priority provide?
Priority provides support and troubleshooting for its systems during the agreed support period. This includes resolving faults, providing updates and upgrades, and ensuring experienced personnel handle support requests. Support is available during specified work hours, and response times depend on fault severity. Details are in Section 2 of the agreement.
How are software updates and upgrades managed under the support agreement?
Updates (fault fixes and improvements) and upgrades (new features and fixes) are released at Priority's discretion. For SaaS customers, Priority installs updates and upgrades in production and test environments. For On-Premises customers, installation is the customer's responsibility, and they must keep their software version up to date. Failure to update may result in limited support or additional fees. See Section 2.3 for details.
What are the customer obligations to receive support services?
Customers must appoint a dedicated contact person, manage login credentials securely, ensure compliance with transaction documents and laws, cooperate with Priority's support team, and maintain proper backups and system compatibility (for On-Premises). They must also provide Priority with system access and ensure information security. See Section 3 for full obligations.
How can customers open a service call for support?
Customers must open a service call via their contact person on Priority's support website (support.priority-software.com) immediately after discovering a fault. They must provide detailed fault information and relevant documentation. See Section 5 for the process.
What are the fault severity levels and response times for support?
Faults are classified into three severity levels: Level 1 (critical, complete loss of functionality, response within 4 work hours), Level 2 (significant, partial loss, response within 24 work hours), and Level 3 (light, performance issues, response within 48 work hours). See Section 5.6 for definitions and response times.
What are the work hours for Priority support services?
Work hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (U.S. Eastern Time for Western Hemisphere, GMT+2 for Eastern Hemisphere). Support is available during these hours, and service calls outside work hours are handled at the start of the next work day.
Can customers request support outside of work hours?
Yes, customers may order support services outside of work hours, subject to mutual agreement and additional fees as per Priority's price list and policies at the time. See Section 5.10 for details.
What is the annual uptime target for Priority Cloud?
The annual uptime target for Priority Cloud in the production environment is 99.9%. Uptime is monitored 24/7 by Priority's Network Operations Center (NOC) and calculated as 100% x (1 – (Downtime / Measurement Period)). See Section 6.3 for details.
What restrictions apply to Priority support services?
Support is subject to customer compliance with obligations and payment. Priority is not responsible for faults caused by failure to install updates, private developments, changes made by the customer, integration with non-Priority products, customer infrastructure, security vulnerabilities, or misuse. See Section 7 for full restrictions.
How are support service fees determined?
Support service fees are stipulated in the transaction documents between Priority and the customer. Additional fees may apply for extended support, out-of-hours support, or support for private developments. See Section 8 for details.
What happens when the support period ends or is terminated?
Support services are provided during the agreed support period. If licenses expire or are terminated, Priority may immediately end support. To renew support after termination, customers must pay for the lapsed period and install the latest software version. See Section 9 for details.
Where can I find the End-User License Agreement (EULA) and Data Protection Addendum?
The EULA and Data Protection Addendum are available at https://www.priority-software.com/terms-erp/. These documents outline licensing conditions and data protection terms for Priority Software customers.
What is considered a fault under the support agreement?
A fault is defined as a failure of the system to operate in material compliance with the documentation in the production environment, provided the malfunction is not due to excluded factors (e.g., private developments, customer changes, integration with non-Priority products). See Section 1.6 and Section 7.2 for details.
How does Priority handle private developments and customizations?
Customers may create private developments using Priority's SDK, but Priority does not provide support for faults caused by these developments. For On-Premises customers, support for private development faults may be ordered for an additional fee. SaaS customers may have private developments disabled if they cause system issues. See Section 4 for details.
What is the process for testing and installing upgrades in SaaS and On-Premises models?
For SaaS, Priority installs upgrades in a test environment for up to one month before production installation. Customers must test all components during this period. For On-Premises, customers are responsible for installation and must keep their version within the last four releases. See Section 2.3.3 for details.
How does Priority ensure information security for cloud services?
Priority may disable the system immediately in case of cyber incidents or vulnerabilities to protect customer content and services. Customers are responsible for security of their workstations, servers, and applications connecting to Priority Cloud. See Section 6.5 and 3.3 for details.
What is the role of the customer contact person in support services?
The contact person is the primary liaison for all support matters, responsible for opening service calls, cooperating with Priority's support team, and performing required actions in the system. An alternate contact person should be appointed for backup. See Section 3.1.1 for details.
