This Ping Identity Support Policy (this "Policy") describes Ping Identity’s Support Services, as referenced in the agreement between Ping Identity Corporation ("Ping Identity") and the entity identified in the applicable Order Form (“Customer”), that governs Customer’s access to the Ping Identity Products.

1.   Responsibilities.

      1.1     During the Subscription Term, Ping Identity shall, in accordance with Section 2 of this Policy:

               (a)     provide Customer access to all generally available updates, upgrades, enhancements, fixes, and new versions of the Software;

               (b)     respond to and Resolve all Errors;

               (d)     provide unlimited telephone support to Customer during all Support Hours; and

               (e)     provide Customer with online access to a support portal ("Support Portal"). The Support Portal may include a case submission form, case status and history, security advisory history, license history, access to download licensed Products, knowledge base articles, and Documentation.

      1.2     During the Support Period, Customer shall:

               (a)    provide prompt notice of any Errors via the Support Portal (each, a "Support Request"). Customer shall include in each Support Request a description of the reported Error and the time Customer first observed the Error;

               (b)    cooperate and assist Ping Identity in Resolving the Support Request by taking any reasonably necessary actions that Ping Identity may request, including but not limited to, reproducing operating conditions similar to those present when Customer detected the Error and providing relevant data, documents, and information;

               (c)    designate in writing to Ping Identity certain individual(s) at Customer who will provide timely and accurate information to Ping Identity in connection with a Support Request or Support Services;.

               (d)    notify Ping Identity reasonably in advance of any material modifications or adaptations to the configuration or implementation of the Ping Identity Products. This includes, without limitation, integration of third-party resources or changes that could affect volume or throughput, such as adding a significant number of applications or a significant enrollment event; and

               (e)    test any planned upgrades in lower environments prior to a production upgrade.

2.     Customer Support and Severity Levels. The Support Services details and levels are set forth below. Ping Identity shall respond to Support Requests in accordance with the applicable Severity Level and Response Time. The Response Times are measured only during Support Hours. Ping Identity will use commercially reasonable efforts to Resolve the Support Request in a prompt manner following its receipt of the Support Request, taking into account the Severity Level of the Error. Unless Customer has purchased an active subscription for Select, Premium or Elite, Customer will be entitled to Base Support.

3.     Supported Releases for Products. Ping Identity provides Support Services for the versions of the Products as set forth in its End of Life Policy located at: https://www.pingidentity.com/en/legal/end-of-life-policies.html (the “End of Life Policy”).

4.     Exclusions. Custom Developments and Out-of-Scope Services are not subject to this Policy. Ping Identity shall provide Support Services for Custom Developments and Out-of-Scope Services only upon the mutual written agreement between Ping Identity and Customer, including any fees related thereto. In addition, Ping Identity may offer optional value-added functions, features, or other capabilities related to the Products for a separate fee, and any such items are not automatically provided with the base Product under Section 1.1(a) of this Policy.

5.     Supplemental Terms for Single Tenant. The supplemental support terms for any Services that are provided by Ping Identity as a dedicated single-tenant solution (as opposed to multi-tenant SaaS) located at: https://www.pingidentity.com/en/legal/support-policy-addendum-pingone-as.html are incorporated into this Policy in the event Customer has purchased any such Service.

6.     Customer Success. Customers in the Select, Premium and Elite support tiers will be assigned a Customer Success resource (“CSx”). The CSx shall function as a management-level liaison and point of contact between Customer’s organization and the different teams within Ping Identity.

      6.1.     The CSx will provide the services set forth in the table under Section 2 above. Specific details, including but not limited to timing, scheduling, and determining the number of specific meetings or sessions, are subject to Customer support level as well as the CSx’s reasonable discretion taking into account Customer’s particular circumstances, Customer’s reasonable requests, and any other relevant factors.

      6.2.     The CSx will be available Monday through Friday during regular business hours (or after hours if coordinated accordingly) as reasonable taking into account location and availability.

      6.3.     The following services are expressly excluded from the CSx services hereunder:

               (a) A CSx is not a technical resource and will not work on Customer’s technical issues, but they can interface with the support team to convey prioritization of Customer issues and/or escalation of open tickets;

               (b) A CSx will not manage projects for Customer but can assist in providing recommendations to Customer as well as inform internal Ping Identity teams on Customer’s project timelines; and

               (c) A CSx is not a support contact. Customer’s first point of escalation for Errors is the Support Portal.
