Exhibit A
Additional Support Terms

These Support Terms to the Infoblox BloxOne Threat Defense Terms (together, the “Agreement”) sets forth additional terms and conditions that govern the purchase and provisioning of Infoblox Premium Maintenance.

1. SCOPE AND PROVISION OF SUPPORT

(a) Scope of Support. Support for the Service is available through Infoblox’s product support helpdesk, which is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of each year. Support includes access to Infoblox’s customer support portal with online user guides, articles and materials. Support is available in English and includes assistance with questions related to Product features, troubleshooting or issue diagnosis, configuration, and Workarounds, when applicable. Infoblox will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Support described in this Exhibit A, including the service levels set forth in Exhibit A-1 in a professional and workmanlike manner. Upon reporting an issue (via telephone or web), the request will be assigned a unique case number and such number must be used in all future correspondence until the issue is resolved. If Infoblox’s helpdesk is not able to immediately help, the request for service will be logged and Infoblox will respond to the Customer according to the severity levels listed in Exhibit A-2.

(b) Remote Diagnostics and Assistance. Provision of timely and effective Support, including diagnosis and resolution requires the use of online diagnostics of the Product by Infoblox’s support personnel. Online diagnostic access includes the use of remote support tools from Infoblox or third parties. Customer will provide remote access and may require that Infoblox comply with Customer security policies related to such remote access.

(c) Installation. An implementation plan is essential for successful installation of Products. Support does not include configuration or assistance with implementation planning or installation of Products. If Customer requires assistance to support successful installation of Products, Infoblox professional services may be separately purchased.

(d) Authorized Customer Support Contacts. Customer will designate the individuals that are authorized to contact Infoblox on behalf of Customer to receive Support (“Authorized Contacts”). The Authorized Contacts may contact an Infoblox Global Support Center (“GSC”) by logging into Infoblox’s support website or by telephone. Authorized Contacts will be provided with a unique login and password for Infoblox’s support website by Customer’s administrator. In order to facilitate efficient resolution of issues, Infoblox recommends that Authorized Contacts submitting support requests and engaging with the GSC maintain a current Infoblox CDAT/NACS certification.

(e) Onsite Services. Onsite support services are not included in Support offerings. Professional Services for onsite requirements may be separately purchased. Infoblox is not obligated to provide a local service center or sales office in any particular country outside of the United States. This extends to but is not limited to technical assistance centers, replacement part stocking locations, and training centers.

2. RESPONSIBILITIES.

(a) Customer’s Obligation to Assist. For each issue request submitted, Infoblox may require Customer to provide the following information: (a) a general description of the operating environment, (b) a list of all hardware components, operating systems and networks present, (c) a reproducible test case, and (d) any log, trace, configuration and systems files or error messages. It is Customer’s obligation to provide the support information necessary to understand, reproduce and resolve an incident. Customer’s failure to provide this information may prevent Infoblox from diagnosing and resolving the issue and will relieve Infoblox of its Support obligations to the extent such failure impedes Infoblox’s ability to diagnose or resolve the issue.

(b) Limitations. Infoblox will provide the Support in a professional manner using qualified personnel but Infoblox does not guarantee that every issue or problem will be resolved. Infoblox’s obligation to provide Support does not include services requested as a result of causes or errors which are not attributable to Infoblox. If, upon investigating the cause of the reported issue, Infoblox determines that there is a defect in the Service, Infoblox will provide a remedy in the form of a workaround or fix.

3. TERM.

The initial term of this Support Addendum will commence on the Infoblox purchase order book date (“Book Date”) and will have the term specified on the contract notification document emailed to Customer by Infoblox upon Product shipment or subsequent renewal.

4. DEFINITIONS.

(a) “Workaround” means a temporary solution to a Software error that Infoblox has implemented or enabled customers to implement that allows the Software to regain functionality or provide Software functions in accordance with the Documentation.

Exhibit A-1
Service Availability and Service Credits

1. Service Credit.

1.1 “Service Credit” means an extension of the Service Subscription Term by the number of days set forth in Section 2 below for failing to meet the stated availability levels for serving DNS queries. Service Credits shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for Service availability failures. In order to be eligible for a Service Credit, Customer must (i) be current on fees due for the Service, and (ii) request a Service Credit via a support ticket submitted to Infoblox Support within 10 business days after the outage giving rise to the Service Credit. Requests for Service Credits must include a description of the outage with dates and times of unavailability. For each request submitted by Customer, Infoblox will research the incident(s) to determine if the availability was not met in accordance with the requirements below, and provide a response to Customer no later than 10 business days after the end of the month in which the request occurred. Failure by Customer to comply with these requirements will result in forfeiture of Customer’s right to receive a Service Credit for the incident.

1.2 In order for the stated availability to apply, Customer’s network must be properly configured on a 24 X 7 X 365 basis in accordance with the Documentation and in a manner that allows Customer to take advantage of Infoblox’s redundant global infrastructure made available as part of the Service.

2. Service Availability.

Infoblox will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the DNS query services available at least 99.99% of the time during each calendar month of Service purchased by Customer. If DNS query service availability is less than 99.99% for a calendar month, Infoblox will provide the Service Credit indicated below based on the availability confirmed by Infoblox for the month. Calculation of availability excludes scheduled maintenance times published by Infoblox and other exclusions described in Section 4 below. Failure to meet DNS query service availability results in a Service Credit as follows:

DNS Query Service Availability During a MonthService Credit
> = 99.99%0
< 99.99% but > = 99.9%1 day
< 99.9% but > = 99%5 days
< 99% but > = 98%10 days
< 98%20 days

3. Maximum Service Credits.

The aggregate maximum Service Credits that Infoblox will issue for failing to meet Service availability during any 12 month Subscription Term will not exceed 30 calendar days’ worth of the Service.

4. Exclusions.

The availability metrics above do not apply to (and calculations of availability exclude) any: (a) services or features designated by lnfoblox as pre-release, alpha, beta or similar non-GA designation, (b) aspects or functionality of the Service other than those required for serving DNS queries, (c) periods of unavailability or latency caused by third party hosting services or internet carriers, or (d) errors (i) caused by factors outside of Infoblox’s reasonable control, including any Force Majeure event, denial-of-service attack or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of the Service; (ii) that resulted from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third-party; (iii) that resulted from Customer’s equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third-party equipment within Infoblox’s direct control); (iv) arising from the suspension and termination of Customer’s right to use the Service in accordance with the Addendum; or (v) that resulted from exceeding usage limits/quotas applied by the system and/or listed in the Documentation. Infoblox reserves the right to fully investigate any claim of unavailability and Service Credit request prior to issuing a Service Credit in accordance with this Exhibit A-1.
