Coiled Support and Maintenance Terms#
These Coiled Support Terms describe the support Coiled provides to Customers when the applicable Order Form includes Support and Maintenance.
Section One: Support and Maintenance#
Customer will designate support personnel who are knowledgeable about the Products to be responsible for reporting Errors and receiving and distributing Error corrections. Coiled's support team representatives will record Error reports and coordinate responses. Customer may submit Error reports electronically. Coiled may provide electronic status updates on reported Errors online or via e-mail. Coiled and Customer will cooperate in efforts to resolve reported Errors. For reproducible reported Errors, Coiled will assign a tracking or ticket number and use commercially reasonable efforts to triage and respond according to the response targets described below for the support package expressly stated in the applicable Order Form. Coiled may provide a Fix, by-pass, Work-around, guidance, or other response in its discretion, but response targets are not commitments to deliver any particular correction, work-around, feature, or Product change by a specific date. Coiled may request that the Customer duplicate the Error, instruct Coiled how to duplicate the Error, or provide problem log dumps, diagnostic tests, or other investigative support. Customer will provide all reasonably requested information to assist in arriving at a problem solution.
Coiled may determine based on the information provided by Customer or through its own investigation that identified Errors were caused by non-Coiled hardware, software, cloud infrastructure, Customer configuration, customizations, or unauthorized modifications to Products (a "Customer Error"). Customer Errors are not covered by Support and Maintenance, but Coiled may provide reasonable guidance to help Customer identify or work around the issue.
Section Two: Support Packages#
Coiled may offer support packages that include business-hours support, priority support, Slack support, training, office hours, customer success support, or other support services. The applicable Order Form or other written agreement identifies which support package and support entitlements apply.
Section Three: Product Support Priority Levels#
For customers whose applicable Order Form includes Product support priority levels, in the event that a Service-affecting issue is detected by Coiled or reported by Customer, Coiled will reasonably categorize the Priority Level pursuant to the criteria below.
Section Four: Dask Support Priority Levels#
For customers whose applicable Order Form includes Dask support priority levels, in the event that a service-affecting issue is detected by Coiled or reported by Customer, Coiled will reasonably categorize the Priority Level pursuant to the criteria below.
Dask support covers bugs in existing Dask features and functionality, or future features and functionality that are made generally available to all Dask users and specifically described in generally available Dask Documentation. Other services, including requests to add functionality to Dask or to address substantial project design changes, require a separate services engagement.
Section Five: Response Times#
Coiled will use commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to the following first response targets pursuant to the Support Service package expressly indicated on the Order Form. A first response means Coiled's initial acknowledgment or triage response; it is not a commitment to resolve the Error or deliver a Fix or Work-around within that time.

- Any modification, enhancement or customization of the Products made by anyone other than Coiled;
