right to escalate the matter to the Supplier’s management team. Following escalation, the parties shall work together in good faith, to discuss and agree a suitable course of action to deal with the support request.

b) The Customer must take reasonable effort to include any necessary information to enable the Supplier to reproduce the issue, including but not limited to:

· Verify that the issue is reproducible, if applicable;

· Clear and concise steps to reproduce issue;

· Collect and attach any relevant logs or specific circumstances surrounding the discovery of the issue, e.g., first occurrence or occurrence after a specific event;

· Screenshots and or a video showing the issue

· Suggest priority level.

1.8 Supplier response:

· Review the information provided in the support ticket

· Verify that issue is reproducible

· Identify emerging trends surrounding the issue and consolidate or link systemic occurrences, if applicable;

· Reclassify the priority level at any time and in accordance to the service levels if the supplier believes the classification is incorrect;

· Based on the severity and criticality, escalate the ticket to the development team;

· Acknowledge receipt of and respond to the support ticket through the Support Portal in accordance with the service level.

1.9 Additional fees

In the event that a Customer makes a request for Support and the Supplier spends a minimum of one hour to deal with that request and finds that the issue at hand was due to the acts and/or omissions of the Customer (as opposed to a failure in the Software or an issue with the Software or Documentation), then in such circumstances, the Supplier shall have the right to charge the Customer a fee of £110 per hour spent by the Supplier for dealing with the support request. Such fee shall be paid by the Customer, in full, within 30 days of being invoiced by the Supplier.
