Parties acknowledge that no Software is 100% defect free, and technical support is not intended to cover minor software functionality that does not substantially impact software performance.
7. Company Requirements
If any part of the Service is deployed on Company premises (e.g., encoder software, upload agents), Service provider requires (i) a minimum level of infrastructure (including redundant hardware, software, and redundant network) in order for the Service to perform as specified and, (ii) unencumbered access for Service Provider Support Agents. Service Provider does not provide technical support when (i) Service Provider products are operated in a less-than-optimal environment, or (ii) Service Provider documented access requirements (e.g., ports, credentials, logins) are not met, access is restricted or encumbered via VPNs, tokens or any other encumbrances.
