This Inrupt Support Policy (“Policy”) is incorporated into and forms a part of your agreement with Inrupt with respect to your use of the Software (“Agreement”). This Policy describes Inrupt’s support policies applicable to Customer reported Issues, Errors in the Software, and Feature Requests.
The following terms have the following meanings when used in this Policy. Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this Policy have the meaning provided in your Agreement.
"Error" means a reproducible failure of Inrupt Software to perform in substantial conformity with the Documentation.
"Issue'' means a question, concern, or request that is not a result of an Error.
“ESS Server" means the Inrupt Enterprise Solid Server.
“Production Environment" means an environment serving your end users or customers.
“GA Release Date" means the generally available (“GA”) release date.
“Severity Level 1” refers to an Error that impacts Customer’s Production Environment, where the Software is nonresponsive or seriously impaired or Customer’s production data is lost or destroyed, and there is no workaround currently available. The Inrupt Technical Services Team will provide a root cause analysis report within 1 week of the resolution of a Severity Level 1 Issue or Error.
“Severity Level 2” refers to an Error where the Software is moderately impaired. The Customer’s system is functioning but in a reduced capacity, and there is no workaround currently available or the workaround is cumbersome to use.
“Severity Level 3” refers to an Error or Issue that has been identified but does not prevent normal operation of the Customer’s system, or where the situation may be temporarily circumvented using an available workaround. A Severity 3 case does not need to be related to a Production system. No data has been lost and the system has not failed.
“Severity Level 4” refers to non-critical Errors or Issues, including general questions, Issues and Errors in non-Production Environments, and requests for enhancements to the Software.
“Major Release” means a version of an Inrupt product identified by a change in the number to the left of the first decimal point (X.x.x). Major Releases may contain backwards breaking compatibility changes to the product.
“Minor Release” means a version of an Inrupt product identified by a change in the middle number in between the two decimal points (x.X.x). Minor releases preserve full backwards compatibility within a Major Release.
"Patch Release" means a version of the ESS Server identified by a change in the number to the right of the second decimal point (x.x.X). Patch versions preserve full backwards compatibility within a Major Release.

“Documentation” refers to the technical documentation provided by Inrupt inc.

Support will not be provided for Software that has reached End-of-Life. If Customer requires support for a Major or Minor Release to be extended beyond the End-of-Life period, please contact your account representative.

Inrupt inc. has no obligation to provide any Support to Customer: (i) for any software, hardware or other element of the Customer environment not provided by Inrupt inc.; (ii) if Customer or a third party has altered or modified any portion of the Software beyond reasonable configuration options; (iii) if Customer has not used the Software in accordance with Documentation or instructions provided by Inrupt inc., including failure to follow implementation procedures; (iv) or if Customer is running a version of the Software that has reached End-of-Life.
