JCA shall respond to faults notified to it by the Customer dependent on the category of fault reported in the following manner:

CATEGORY A

JCA shall respond within 30 minutes and use its reasonable endeavors to fix the fault concerned within four working hours, in each case of notification (but in the event that JCA fails to achieve a four working hour fix, it will use its reasonable endeavors to achieve a fix as soon as possible thereafter). In providing a fix for Category A faults, JCA’s first priority shall be to restore the support item’s functionality to working order as soon as possible;

CATEGORY B

JCA shall use its reasonable endeavors to respond to the notification within one hour and to fix the fault concerned as fast as possible and in any event within 10 working days of notification (but in the event that JCA fails to achieve a fix within this timescale, it will use reasonable endeavors to achieve a fix as soon as possible thereafter). In doing so, JCA shall not be required to work outside normal working hours.

CATEGORY C

JCA shall respond to the notification within one hour and shall fix the fault within six (6) months of notification (but in the event that JCA fails to achieve a fix within this timescale, it will use reasonable endeavors to achieve a fix as soon as possible thereafter). In doing so, JCA shall not be required to work outside normal working hours.

5. The Customer acknowledges that JCA may provide a temporary, practical work around solution (as opposed to a permanent fix) for a fault; if JCA does provide a temporary work-around solution it will however use its reasonable endeavors to provide a permanent fix as soon as possible thereafter.

6. Immediately following such a software fault correction being completed, JCA shall deliver to the Customer the corrected version of the object code for the software, including documentation specifying the nature of the correction and providing instructions for the proper use of the corrected version of the software.
