Aforza Online Success Plan Agreement - Aforza
Aforza Online Success Plan Agreement
Customer Success is at the core of everything we do at Aforza. To ensure we make this happen every day for our customers, we offer Success Plans that not only include support but also expert guidance and best practice to maximise the success of every Aforza user and ensure our customers get the most value from the products purchased.
Aforza’s Success Plans incorporate different levels of support and include Aforza’s Standard Support service, Premier Support service and Managed Service.
Aforza Customers who have purchased Aforza Professional Edition or Aforza Enterprise Edition will receive Aforza’s Standard Support service as part of the Product Subscription they have purchased. Aforza Essentials Edition provides Customers with access to the Aforza Self-Service Support Portal but does not include Aforza Standard Support service.
In addition to the Aforza Standard Support, Customers may elect to purchase Aforza’s Premier Support or Aforza’s Managed Service.
The terms and conditions of each Success Plan are detailed below. If Customer has not purchased Premier Support or Managed Service, then the terms and conditions of the Aforza Success Plan outlined above will apply. Capitalized terms used but not defined below shall have the meaning subscribed to them in the Aforza Online Subscription Agreement which can be reviewed and downloaded at Aforza Terms.
Aforza’s Success Plans do not include implementation of the Services. Aforza Success Plans are for ongoing support and administration of the Services after the Services have been implemented and shall not result in a transfer or assignment of intellectual property rights between the parties.
