As part of the Premium Support plan, Customer Certified Support Contacts have access to a named TAM during the TAM’s standard Business Hours in the TAM’s local time zone. Customer and TAM will make reasonable efforts to find mutually agreeable times for meetings and assistance. TAMs are not dedicated to a single Customer.  For clarity, the Initial Response Time does not apply to TAM correspondence.

• Recurring Status Calls - TAM may participate in up to 2 recurring status calls per month to review account status, open issues and guidance.
• Customer Success Plan - Parties may work together to create a Customer Success Plan (defining actions, owners and target dates in order to optimize Customer’s Sumo Logic environment and achieve maximum value) that Customer can choose to leverage for their internal use and implementation.
• Onsite Training – TAM may deliver 1 day of onsite or online training per subscription year, as reasonably agreed upon between Sumo Logic and Customer, where additional Fees may be required and will be agreed upon in advance.  Training follows a standard agenda but TAM may work with Customer to tailor the agenda to the applicable audience.
• Data Ingest Strategy - Parties may work together to establish a data ingest strategy defining data sources, collection options, and meta data design.
•  Technical Health Check - TAM may review Customer’s account usage and provide feedback on optimization opportunities, feature usage, adoption and best practices.
• Lunch and Learn Sessions - TAM may deliver an abbreviated virtual product overview training to Customer’s users followed by a question & answer session. Training agenda may be customized if mutually agreed by the parties. This is not to exceed one Lunch and Learn Session per quarter.

Not to exceed 1 business day per visit and 2 visits per year.  Additional onsite time is available at the then-current consulting rates.

b.     Further, Sumo Logic shall have no obligation to Support with respect to or in the case of: (i) altered or damaged Software; (ii) problems with the Sumo Logic Technology caused by Customer’s negligence, abuse or misapplication, or unauthorized use of Sumo Logic Technology other than as specified in the Sumo Logic’s documentation or other causes beyond the control of Sumo Logic; or (c) use of the Services that is not in compliance with the Master Agreement.

c.     If Sumo Logic believes that a problem reported by Customer may not be due to an Error in the Sumo Logic Technology, Sumo Logic will so notify Customer. At that time, Customer may (1) instruct Sumo Logic to proceed with problem determination at its possible expense as set forth below, or (2) instruct Sumo Logic that Customer does not wish the problem pursued at its possible expense. If Customer requests that Sumo Logic proceed with problem determination at its possible expense and Sumo Logic determines that the error was not due to an Error, Customer shall pay Sumo Logic, at Sumo Logic’s then-current consulting rates, for all work performed in connection with such determination, plus reasonable related expenses incurred therewith.

If Customer instructs Sumo Logic that it does not wish the problem pursued at its possible expense or if such determination requires effort in excess of Customer’s instructions, Sumo Logic may, at its sole discretion, elect not to investigate the Error with no liability therefor.

For clarity, Sumo Logic may offer Training Services to help resolve issues that fall outside the scope of Support.  Any engagement of Training Services will be provided under a separate agreement, and will be subject to the Master Agreement.

d.     Sumo Logic shall have no liability for any changes in Customer’s hardware or software systems that may be necessary to use the Sumo Logic Technology due to a Workaround or maintenance.

6. REVISED TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event Sumo Logic revises this Support Addendum, Customer will not be entitled to any additional benefits or services offered thereunder absent the payment to Sumo Logic or resellers of the appropriate Fee related to said revision, if any.
