Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Minor Incidents shall also include any defects or inaccuracies in the Documentation.

EstateSpace’s obligation to remedy an Incident shall not apply in the event of:

If it is determined that the requirement to provide Support is due to any of the above, EstateSpace shall be entitled to recover from Client the cost of investigating the incident.

What is stated in this Service Level Agreement is EstateSpace’s sole and exclusive obligation with respect to any non-conformity within the Software.

Resolution.

Resolution is defined as EstateSpace (i) providing a reasonable solution to the Incident; (ii) providing a reasonable workaround to the Incident; or (iii) determining, in its sole judgment, that the Incident is an enhancement request. For those Incidents, which have been determined to be product bugs, such defects will be addressed in a generally available update as scheduled by EstateSpace in its sole discretion. Severe bugs, which fall outside of the scheduled maintenance release, will be evaluated for correction on a case-by-case basis.
