Effective Date: Jan 26, 2022

Specifications: The Subscription Service provides a certain set of capabilities including POS, KDS, Linebusting, Loyalty and reporting which are fully present in the version of the release current as Effective Date. Contractor may develop additional enhancements, modifications and features that are included in the Subscription Service at no cost, or licensed separately for an additional fee.  

1) HQ Training. As part of brand onboarding, Customer will have access to training material related to the features and use of the system and services selected in Exhibit A (Fees).

a) SAAS Manager – Customer will maintain a Customer SaaS Manager responsible for knowing, understanding and communicating to all necessary personnel such as internal support liaisons and training leads, or regional staff the day-to-day operational policies and procedures relating to Subscription Service.  Contractor will provide basic training checklists and Customer will adapt training as needed to satisfy their specific business requirements.  

b) Communicating with Contractor – SAAS Manager will communicate to Contractor via Support@touchpoint.io or 1-800-992-9540 for L2/L3 support questions

2) Support issues and resolution procedures. There are three types of support issues with specific actions and responsibilities of Parties toward resolution.

a) L1 Issues – includes issues for which there are known workarounds, and common questions that are resolvable from training or documentation.  Examples include iPad initial set up, re-connecting iPads or Printers or cash drawers, connecting payment terminals, configuring menu, completing orders, employee login or any configuration settings, or management.  Support of third-party equipment such as ISP connectivity and ISP router is outside the scope of this agreement and may only be investigated with additional support fees.

(1)   L1 Resolution Steps: stores will first reach out to Customer SaaS Manager or other Customer support liaison who will help the store resolve the issue.

(2)   If Customer HQ is unable to address the issue, the Customer SaaS Manager will open a ticket and attempt to reproduce the issue in the HQ Lab.

b) L2 Issues – are previously unidentified issues that impact or limit a portion of the functionality.

(1)   L2 Resolution Steps: the SAAS manager will open a support ticket and attempt to replicate the issue in the HQ Lab.

(2)   The issue will be considered pending until it can be reliably reproduced.

(3)   Contractor may opt for scheduled 3-way communication with HQ and local store to help reproduce, diagnose or resolve the issue.

(4)   Depending on the nature of the issue, a documentation or software update may be released.  Issues determined to be local networking or environmental issues at a particular location, or to be caused by non-managed hardware or services or are L1 issues may incur additional support fees.

c) L3 Issues – are issues that completely prevent store locations from operating, such as a Local Cloud failure, or a TPINTERNAL LAN network failure. Partial degradation of functionality in the store, reporting issues and API issues are considered Level 2 issues. For the avoidance of doubt, ISP Network and router issues, and payment network issues and other third-party equipment or services are to be handled with the supplier of those services and are outside the scope of Contractor’s responsibility.  

(1)   L3 Resolution Steps: stores will first reach out to Customer SAAS Manager or other Customer support liaison who will help the store execute the then-current Local Cloud and LAN network reboot procedures.

(2)   If reboot procedure does not resolve issue, the SAAS Manager will open a ticket to either

(a)   promote a Local Cloud Standby unit to Primary,

(b)  process an order for replacement equipment, or

(c)   initiate further investigation.

3) Hardware Purchase and Replacement – Please submit hardware replacement requests to support@touchpoint.io.  

a) Promoting a Local Cloud Standby unit to Primary requires an engineer and is generally available during business hours M-F 8AM – 5PM Pacific.

b) Standard Hardware Shipping – Hardware is typically shipped within 2-3 business days, subject to inventory availability

c) Expedited Hardware – same day and next day shipping may be available by contacting support@touchpoint.io

Support issues that arise 2 days before and 5 days after launch are considered Launch Support and may incur additional fees. Note that to adequately train personnel and achieve a smooth launch, stores can purchase Cloud Labs to facilitate staff training from any location with an internet connection.  

5) Updates – software updates to TouchpointPRO iOS app and the Local Cloud software are provided periodically and must be adopted for continued use of Services.

Contractor may contact Customer in order to assist with the Services and obtain information needed to identify and fix any errors.
