Imprivata Maintenance and Support

 

Sign in to the Imprivata Support Center 

Imprivata will provide the maintenance and support services (“Maintenance and Support”) as further described herein to Customer during the Initial Maintenance Term and any subsequent Renewal Term for which Customer has paid the applicable fees. For purposes of clarification, “Support” as used in the Imprivata end user license agreement shall have the same meaning as Maintenance and Support as used herein. Certain Imprivata Software (excluding PatientSecure) is installed on an Imprivata hardware appliance. For purposes herein, a “Physical Appliance” shall mean a physical hardware appliance that uses physical processors and a “Virtual Appliance” shall mean a virtual (or otherwise emulated) appliance that uses virtual processors.

The descriptions that follow apply only to the Maintenance and Support offered directly from Imprivata, Inc. Imprivata’s authorized resellers may offer different maintenance and support options and should be contacted for information specific to their policies.     
 

1. Term and Pricing

The initial term of Maintenance and Support shall be for a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the date of delivery of the Software and Hardware (as applicable) (the "Initial Maintenance Term") and shall automatically renew for additional twelve (12) month terms annually on the successive anniversary of the Initial Maintenance Term (each a “Renewal Term”), unless either party provides at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of non-renewal to the other party.  Maintenance and Support may be renewed only for an annual term and only for all Software and Hardware licensed by Customer; partial renewals will not be accepted.  Fees for Imprivata Maintenance & Support shall be based on Imprivata’s then-current price list in effect at the time of any such purchase or renewal.  
 

2. Maintenance Release Updates and Support for Imprivata Software

Imprivata will provide maintenance release updates for the then-current and two prior versions (major or minor) of the Imprivata Software, but in all events will provide maintenance (i.e. defect resolution) for any shipping version for a minimum of twenty four (24) months. A “major version” is a Software program identified by a change in the number immediately to the left of the decimal point, e.g., 5.1 or 6.1 and a “minor version” is a Software program identified by a change in the number immediately to the right of the decimal point, e.g. 5.1 to 5.2. Imprivata shall provide support services to customers who are current with Maintenance and Support if Imprivata is also providing equivalent support services to other similarly-situated customers.

Imprivata may, upon sixty (60) days’ notice, change the Maintenance and Support descriptions or pricing effective at the start of the next term hereunder. Either party may terminate Maintenance and Support if the other party fails to cure a material breach of this Maintenance and Support policy within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party.  
 

3. Supported Environments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Imprivata will provide Maintenance and Support for the Imprivata Software when used in connection with those third party applications, operating systems, databases, and key system components (“Third Party Component(s)”) listed on the Imprivata Supported Configuration matrix for the applicable Imprivata Software (each a “Supported Environment”), copies of such matrices are located at the Imprivata Support and Learning Center website at:

https://community.imprivata.com/s/

When a Third Party Component reaches the end of its primary or mainstream support, Imprivata will no longer provide Maintenance and Support for Imprivata Software that interoperate with such Third Party Component.  Third Party Components under extended third party vendor support are also not supported by Imprivata. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Imprivata Customer Support will accept support incidents for Imprivata Software used in connection with a Third Party Component that is not used in a Supported Environment, provided, however, Imprivata will only troubleshoot the issue up to the point that Imprivata in its sole discretion determines the problem is related to the Imprivata Software being used with a Third Party Component that is not a Supported Environment.  At such point, Imprivata Customer Support will require Customer to be able reproduce the error in a Supported Environment.  
 

4. Reinstatement

In the event of any lapse in coverage of Maintenance and Support, any reinstatement of Maintenance and Support shall be subject to payment by Customer of all Maintenance and Support fees that would have been payable from the time Customer discontinued Maintenance and Support to the time of its reinstatement, plus an additional 5% reinstatement fee on all back Maintenance and Support accrued.  
 

5. Named Support Contacts

“Named Support Contact(s)” for Imprivata Customer Support shall mean a current Customer employee(s) or designee(s), registered as a user on the Imprivata Support and Learning Center.  The Named Support Contact shall be responsible for the administration and ongoing maintenance during any Imprivata implementation.

  3. New software features and functionality offered in major new versions, if priced separately, are not included in Maintenance and Support. Additionally, any incremental hardware required to support new software features and functionality is also priced separately.
  4. Imprivata may require remote access to expedite an investigation.  Third party tools such as WebEx and LogMeIn are commonly used for this purpose. Other options are also available when needed. Resolution of issues may take longer if no remote access is permitted to the environment and the issue cannot be reproduced.
  5. Maintenance and Support does not include replacement or reconditioning of products which do not contain the current or immediately prior version of Software; which have been subjected to excessive wear or deterioration; or which have not been used in accordance with applicable product specifications.
