1. Included Support Services
All support plans listed below apply only to the Sencha product(s) for which they are purchased (“Software”) and do not apply to any other application, library or product developed or sold by Us. The support, if any, for any other such product will be governed by a separate agreement. All support features listed below are available only for the Maintenance Term plus any extensions or renewals, and such support features will become unavailable immediately upon termination of this Agreement.
All support plans include the following basic features:
Remote and downloadable access to the most current source code documentation available (the “Documentation”), including tutorials and examples. Read-only web access to the most current source code repository for the Software. Unlimited, 24×7 access to the community-driven Sencha public support forums. Unlimited, 24×7 access to the Sencha member-only support forums that are monitored by the Sencha development and support teams. The number of people provided with member-only forum access is determined by each plan as listed below. Limited incident support as detailed in Section 2a.
All other support features are plan-specific as described below:
a. Standard Support Plan
1 support contact provided with member-only support forum access. 40 x-credits included that can be spent on any metered support services as detailed in Section 2. Maximum incident response time of 72 hours as detailed in Section 3a.
b. Premium Support Plan
Support contacts provided with member-only support forum access up to the number of licensed users for which support fees have been paid. A number of x-credits included that can be spent on any metered support services as detailed in Section 2. The number of x-credits included in Premium Support is 150 for a 5-Pack license, 750 for a 20-Pack license, and for volume licensees in excess of 20, 30 x-credits per licensed user in addition to any additional x-credits purchased.
Maximum incident response time of 48 hours as detailed in Section 3a. Eligible to receive emergency hot-fix builds on an as-needed basis. Telephone support as detailed in section 2b. Emergency bug fix escalation available on an as-needed basis. Remote trouble-shooting services available as detailed in Section 2c.
2. Metered Support Services
All support features listed in this section are valued in x-credits and are only available up to the amount of x-credits available in the Customer’s support account at the time of the support incident. Additional x-credits may be purchased and spent on additional support at any time (provided such credits have not expired according to Section 5). All references to “cost” in this section mean the cost in x-credits based on the x-credit value of the service. All references to “billing” in this section mean the deduction of accumulated x-credits from the support account of the Customer.
a. Support Requests
Support requests submitted to the Sencha Support Portal (support.sencha.com) are valued per single related incident. Each incident costs 10 x-credits. If telephone support is also required to resolve the incident, the cost for the telephone support is added separately and billed in addition to the incident support cost under the terms of Section 2b. Support requests determined to be unrelated to the original request shall constitute a new support incident at the sole discretion of Sencha support personnel.
b. Telephone Support
Telephone support is valued in 30-minute increments, with a 30 minute minimum x-credit cost per call (even if the call does not have an actual duration of 30 minutes). Each 30 minutes of telephone support costs 25 x-credits, and the number of separate phone calls is limited only by the total cost in x-credits available in the Customer’s support account balance. Telephone support must be scheduled in advance so that Sencha and the Customer can establish mutually agreeable availability, and Sencha agrees to complete the scheduling of telephone support within the response time listed in the appropriate plan in section 1.
c. Expert Services
Expert services include, but are not limited to, remote trouble-shooting on the Customer’s computer systems, performance tuning and code review of the Customer’s application code by Sencha support staff. Each 30 minutes of any expert service except on-site training costs 25 x-credits with a 30 minute minimum x-credit cost per request (even if the service does not have an actual duration of 30 minutes). All requests for expert services must be scheduled in advance so that Sencha and the Customer can establish mutually-agreeable availability.
3. Terms of Support
a. Hours of Availability
Access to all web-based support features (online documentation and source code, online help forums) are generally available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year barring unforeseen interruptions in Internet service or planned exceptions by Sencha. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sencha does not guarantee such availability. All metered support services are also generally available 24 × 7 × 365, although the response to each request for metered support may not happen immediately, and will be governed by the response time terms outlined in section 3b. Any planned exceptions to the availability of support services will be communicated on the Sencha website as far in advance as possible.
b. Response Time
The response time listed in each support plan is the elapsed time between the receipt of a support request via the Sencha Support Portal (support.sencha.com) and the time when Sencha begins the support service, including a verbal or written confirmation to the Customer thereof. The actual time required to fully resolve the support request, if such full resolution occurs, may be longer than the maximum response time listed.
c. Our Responsibilities
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Customer to resolve problems in its use of the Software as described in Section 1. We make no guarantee that it can, or will, solve any problems with respect to the Software presented by Customer, and further disclaims any warranties above and beyond any limited warranties that may have been expressly made by Us in the Software License Agreement.
We will offer Services for the then-current version of the Software (Version N). For not less than twelve (12) months from the release date of the then current version, We will also offer Services for the major version immediately preceding the then-current version (Version N-1) of the Software. In addition, for no more than twelve (12) months from the release date of Ext JS 5.0, We will also offer Services for Ext JS 3.x.
d. Customer’s Responsibilities
Customer is responsible for all hardware, operating systems, network setup, network maintenance and setup and use of any file access control systems required in the support of the Software. Customer may be required to grant Us certain limited access rights to Customer’s proprietary computer systems in order that We may render support Services.
Customer is responsible for ensuring that its personnel have sufficient training to attain and maintain competence in the operation of the Software. If We determine, in Our sole discretion, in responding to a Customer request for Support, that the solution is provided in available media (including, but not limited to, the source code documentation, tutorials and examples, websites or support forums), We may direct Customer’s personnel to the appropriate media for the solution to the problem. Even if the support request were resolved in so doing, any minimum support charges outlined in section 2 would still apply.
4. Subscription Services
During the Services Term, and provided Customer shall have continuously subscribed to the Services from the date of purchase of the Software or reinstated the Services pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Sencha will provide Customer access to and extend Customer’s License Agreement to Major Releases, Minor Releases, Maintenance Releases, if any, as well as corresponding Documentation, for each Services subscribed developer that has licensed the Software under a License Agreement.
“License Agreement” shall mean the commercial license agreement in effect between Sencha and Customer for the Software as generally published on Sencha’s website and as may be amended by Customer and Sencha.
“Major Release” means a generally available release of the Software that contains functional enhancements or extensions, designated by Sencha by means of a change in the digit to the left of the first decimal point (e.g. Software 3.0 >> Software 4.0). “Minor Release” means a generally available release of the Software that introduces a limited amount of new features and functionality, designated by Sencha by means of a change in the digit to the right of the decimal point (e.g. Software 3.0>>Software 3.1). “Maintenance Release” means a generally available release of the Software that typically provides maintenance corrections or fixes only, designated by Sencha by means of a change in the digit to the right of the second decimal point (e.g. Software 5.0 >> Software 5.0.1).
5. Term and Termination
Our provision of the Services to Customer will commence on the Effective Date and will continue for an initial term of one (1) year (the “Initial Term”). If Customer has elected a Services plan with auto-renewals, Services will automatically renew for successive one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the current Services Term (as hereinafter defined). If Customer has elected a Services plan without auto-renewals, the Services will automatically terminate at the end of the Initial Term, unless Customer chooses to renew Services, subject to Sencha’s written agreement (each such renewal also referred to as a “Renewal Term”).
A decision to terminate Services or otherwise not renew Services will not terminate the applicable Software licenses. “Services Term” shall mean the Initial Term as extended by each Renewal Term.
X-credits must be used during the term in which they were purchased, and at the end of the Initial Term and each Renewal Term, any accumulated x-credits for that term that have not been spent will be lost. At the end of the Services Term the Services automatically terminate and any accumulated x-credits that have not been spent will be lost.
Sencha may update Services terms after the Initial Term with thirty (30) days advance notice to Customer of any changes deemed by Sencha to have potential adverse and/or material impacts to the Customer. Upon any renewal, Sencha’s then current terms and conditions for the Services will apply.
6. Fees
a. Services Fee Schedule
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees that are applicable for the Services (“Services Fees”) are payable on the Effective Date or, in the case of a renewal term, no later than the date of commencement of the applicable Renewal Term. Services Fees are non-refundable upon payment. Services Fees, including renewals, are at the then-current list price. Sencha may increase applicable Services Fees for renewals.
If Customer elects not to renew the Services or, in the case of Software that may initially be purchased without Services, if Customer elects not to purchase the Services when Customer acquires the Software license, Customer may later re-enroll or enroll, as the case may be, for the Services. If Customer purchases Services after acquiring the Software licenses, or had elected not to renew Services and later wishes to re-enroll in the Services, Customer must move to the then current latest Major Release of the Software, and must pay: (i) the applicable Services Fees for the current Services Period, and (ii) the amount of Services Fees that would have been paid for the period of time that Customer had not enrolled in the Services.
b. Taxes
All Services Fees are exclusive of any taxes, duties, or similar charges imposed by any government. Customer shall pay or reimburse Sencha for all federal, state, dominion, provincial, or local sales, use, personal property, excise, value added, withholding or other taxes, fees, or duties relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than taxes on the net income of Sencha).
c. Invoicing and Late Payments
All invoices issued hereunder by Sencha are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. All amounts that are not paid on time by Customer shall be subject to a late charge equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or, if less, the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. If payment of any Fee is overdue, Sencha may also suspend performance until such delinquency is corrected.
d. Non-Payment and Breach
Sencha may suspend performance of Services if Customer fails to meet its obligations as set forth under this Agreement. Sencha may terminate Services if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Sencha’s written request to meet these obligations. Sencha may terminate the Agreement and all Services at any time if (i) it is discovered that Customer is in breach of its Software license restrictions, pursuant to Customer’s License Agreement, or (ii) Customer is in material breach of this Agreement.
7. Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability
We shall not be responsible to provide Services to the extent that the issue is caused by (a) Customer’s misuse, improper use, mis-configuration, alteration, or damage to the Software; (b) Customer’s use of the Software with any hardware or software not supplied or supported by Us; © Customer’s failure to install an update to the Software if such update would have resolved the issue; or (d) otherwise uses in a manner not in accordance with the Agreement. We shall have no responsibility for loss of or damage to Customer’s data, regardless of the cause of any such loss or damage.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FURNISHED TO CUSTOMER HEREUNDER.

NO REPRESENTATION OR OTHER AFFIRMATION OF FACT, WHETHER MADE BY OUR EMPLOYEES OR OTHERWISE, WHICH IS NOT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE DEEMED TO BE A WARRANTY BY US FOR ANY PURPOSE OR GIVE RISE TO ANY LIABILITY OF US WHATSOEVER.
IN NO EVENT (i) SHALL OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE COMPLAINED OF, (ii) SHALL OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID HEREUNDER, OR (iii) SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST BUSINESS PROFITS AND THE LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF DATA) EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME. No limitation as to damages for personal injury is hereby intended.
