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 these Support Terms 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. With respect to the B1DDI Service, 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, and 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.

In no instance will the Service Credits exceed 10% of the quarterly fees paid for the B1DDI Service.
