compatibility of a final, generally available, product offering. The
Pre-Release Code may not operate correctly, may contain errors and may be
substantially modified by The Qt Company prior to the first commercial
product release, if any. The Qt Company is under no obligation to make
Pre-Release Code commercially available, or provide any Support or Updates
relating thereto. The Qt Company assumes no liability whatsoever regarding
any Pre-Release Code, but any use thereof is exclusively at Licensee's own risk

code pursuant to Section 3, just like other Licensed Software.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
The Qt Company hereby represents and warrants that (i) it has the power and
authority to grant the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE QT COMPANY ON BEHALF OF
ITSELF AND ITS LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES, DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND

CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE COST, DAMAGES OR EXPENSE OF ANY KIND,
HOWSOEVER ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO
EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT

LIABILITY OCCURRED.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7 ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE QT COMPANY AND LICENSEE AND THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED UPON THE
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, LICENSEE SHALL
ALWAYS BE LIABLE TO PAY THE APPLICABLE LICENSE FEES CORRESPONDING TO ITS
ACTUAL USE OF LICENSED SOFTWARE.
8. SUPPORT, UPDATES AND ONLINE SERVICES
Upon due payment of the agreed License Fees the Licensee will be eligible to
receive Support and Updates and to use the Online Services during the agreed
Development License Term or other agreed fixed time period. Support is
provided according to agreed support level and subject to applicable
requirements and restrictions, as specified in the Support Terms.
Unless otherwise decided by The Qt Company at its free and absolute discretion,
Upgrades will not be included in the Support but may be available subject to
additional fees.
From time to time The Qt Company may change the Support Terms, provided that
during the respective ongoing Support period the level of Support may not be
reduced without the consent of the Licensee.
Unless otherwise agreed, The Qt Company shall not be responsible for providing
any service or support to Customers.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
Each Party acknowledges that during the Agreement Term each Party may receive
information about the other Party's business, business methods, business plans,
customers, business relations, technology, and other information, including the
terms of this Agreement, that is confidential and of great value to the other
Party, and the value of which would be significantly reduced if disclosed to
third parties ("Confidential Information"). Accordingly, when a Party (the
"Receiving Party") receives Confidential Information from the other Party (the
"Disclosing Party"), the Receiving Party shall only disclose such information
to employees and Contractors on a need to know basis, and shall cause its
employees and employees of its Affiliates to: (i) maintain any and all
Confidential Information in confidence; (ii) not disclose the Confidential
Information to a third party without the Disclosing Party's prior written
approval; and (iii) not, directly or indirectly, use the Confidential
Information for any purpose other than for exercising its rights and
fulfilling its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party shall
take reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information of the other
Party, which measures shall not be less than the measures taken by such Party
to protect its own confidential and proprietary information.
Obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that (i) is or
becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission of the
Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party's lawful possession prior to
the disclosure hereunder and was not subject to limitations on disclosure or
use; (iii) is developed independently by employees or Contractors of the
Receiving Party or other persons working for the Receiving Party who have not
had access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as proven
by the written records of the Receiving Party; (iv) is lawfully disclosed to
the Receiving Party without restrictions, by a third party not under an
obligation of confidentiality; or (v) the Receiving Party is legally compelled
to disclose, in which case the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing
Party of such compelled disclosure and assert the privileged and confidential
nature of the information and cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party to
limit the scope of disclosure and the dissemination of disclosed Confidential
Information to the minimum extent necessary.
The obligations under this Section 9 shall continue to remain in force for a
period of five (5) years after the last disclosure, and, with respect to trade
secrets, for so long as such trade secrets are protected under applicable trade
secret laws.

Licenses pursuant to agreed pricing terms or, if no specific pricing terms have
been agreed upon, at The Qt Company's standard pricing terms applicable at the
time of purchase.
Unless expressly otherwise agreed, any price or other term quoted to the
Licensee or specified herein shall only be valid for the thirty (30) days from
the effective date of this Agreement, Appendix 2 or the date of the quote, as
applicable.
Licensee shall submit all purchase orders for Development Licenses and
Distribution Licenses to The Qt Company by email or any other method acceptable
to The Qt Company (each such order is referred to herein as a "Purchase Order")
for confirmation, whereupon the Purchase Order shall become binding between the
Parties.
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that all Purchase Orders for Licensed Software
the Licensee makes during the Agreement Term shall be governed exclusively
under the terms of this Agreement.
10.3. Distribution License Packs
Unless otherwise agreed, Distribution Licenses shall be purchased by way of
Distribution License Packs.
Upon due payment of the ordered Distribution License Pack(s), the Licensee will
have an account of Distribution Licenses available for distributing the
Redistributables in accordance with this Agreement.
Each time Licensee distributes a copy of Redistributables, then one
Distribution License is used, and Licensee's account of available Distribution
Licenses is decreased accordingly.
Licensee may distribute copies of the Redistributables so long as Licensee has
Distribution Licenses remaining on its account.
10.4. Payment Terms
License Fees and any other charges under this Agreement shall be paid by
Licensee no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the applicable invoice
from The Qt Company.
The Qt Company will submit an invoice to Licensee after the date of this
Agreement and/or after The Qt Company receives a Purchase Order from Licensee.
A late payment charge of the lower of (a) one percent per month; or (b) the
interest rate stipulated by applicable law, shall be charged on any unpaid
balances that remain past due and which have not been disputed by the Licensee
in good faith.
10.5. Taxes
All License Fees and other charges payable hereunder are gross amounts but
exclusive of any value added tax, use tax, sales tax, withholding tax and other
taxes, duties or tariffs ("Taxes") levied directly for the sale, delivery or
use of Licensed Software hereunder pursuant to any applicable law. Such
applicable Taxes shall be paid by Licensee to The Qt Company, or, where
applicable, in lieu of payment of such Taxes to The Qt Company, Licensee shall
provide an exemption certificate to The Qt Company and any applicable
authority.
11. RECORD-KEEPING AND REPORTING OBLIGATIONS; AUDIT RIGHTS
11.1. Licensee's Record-keeping
Licensee shall at all times during the Agreement Term and for a period of two
(2) years thereafter maintain Licensee's Records in an accurate and up-to-date
form. Licensee's Records shall be adequate to reasonably enable The Qt Company
to determine Licensee's compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. The
records shall conform to general good accounting practices.
Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days from receiving The Qt Company's request
to that effect, deliver to The Qt Company a report based on Licensee's Records,
such report to contain information, in sufficient detail, on (i) number and
identity of users working with Licensed Software or Open Source Qt, (ii) copies
of Redistributables distributed by Licensee during the most recent calendar
quarter and/or any other term specified by The Qt Company, , and (iii) any
other information pertaining to Licensee's compliance with the terms of this
Agreement (like e.g. information on products and/or projects relating to use of
Distribution Licenses), as The Qt Company may reasonably require from time to
time.
11.2. The Qt Company's Audit Rights
The Qt Company or an independent auditor acting on behalf of The Qt Company's,
may, upon at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice and at its expense,
audit Licensee with respect to the Licensee's use of the Licensed Software, but
not more frequently than once during each 6-month period. Such audit may be
conducted by mail, electronic means or through an in-person visit to Licensee's
place of business. Any possible in-person audit shall be conducted during
regular business hours at Licensee's facilities and shall not unreasonably
interfere with Licensee's business activities and shall be limited in scope to
verify Licensee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Qt Company
or the independent auditor acting on behalf of The Qt Company shall be entitled
to inspect Licensee's Records and conduct necessary interviews of Licensee's
relevant employees and Contractors. All such Licensee's Records and use thereof
shall be subject to an obligation of confidentiality under this Agreement.
If an audit reveals that Licensee is using the Licensed Software beyond scope
of the licenses Licensee has paid for, Licensee shall pay to The Qt Company any
amounts owed for such unauthorized use within 30 days from receipt of the
corresponding invoice from The Qt Company.
In addition, in the event the audit reveals a material violation of the terms
of this Agreement (without limitation, either (i) underpayment of more than 10
% of License Fees or 10,000 euros (whichever is more) or (ii) distribution of
products, which include or result from Prohibited Combination, shall be deemed
a material violation for purposes of this section), then the Licensee shall
pay The Qt Company's reasonable cost of conducting such audit.
12. TERM AND TERMINATION
12.1. Agreement Term
This Agreement shall enter into force upon due acceptance by both Parties and
remain in force until terminated pursuant to the terms of this Section 12
("Agreement Term").
12.2. Termination for breach and suspension of rights
Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice if the other Party commits a material breach of any
obligation of this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within such notice
period.
Instead of termination, The Qt Company shall have the right to suspend or
withhold grants of all rights to the Licensed Software hereunder, including but
not limited to the Development Licenses, Distribution License, and Support,
should Licensee fail to make payment in timely fashion or otherwise violates or
is reasonably suspected to violate its obligations or terms of this Agreement,
and where such violation or breach is not cured within ten (10) business days
following The Qt Company's written notice thereof.
12.3. Termination for insolvency
Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon
written notice in the event that the other Party becomes insolvent, files for
any form of bankruptcy, makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors, has
a receiver, administrative receiver or officer appointed over the whole or a
substantial part of its assets, ceases to conduct business, or an act
equivalent to any of the above occurs under the laws of the jurisdiction of the
other Party.
12.4. Parties' Rights and Duties upon Termination
Upon expiry or termination of the Agreement, Licensee shall cease and shall
cause all Designated Users (including those of its Affiliates' and
Contractors') to cease using the Licensed Software under this Agreement. For
clarity, a Development License of a Designated User or a QA Tools License, and
all rights relating thereto, shall always terminate at the expiry of the
respective Development License Term, even if the Agreement continues to remain
in force.
Upon such termination the Licensee shall destroy or return to The Qt Company
all copies of the Licensed Software and all related materials and will certify
the same by Licensee's duly authorized officer to The Qt Company upon its
request, provided however that Licensee may retain and exploit such copies of
the Licensed Software as it may reasonably require in providing continued
support to Customers.
Except when this Agreement is terminated by The Qt Company due to Licensee's
material breach as set forth in Section 12.2, the Licensee may continue
distribution of Applications and Devices under the terms of this Agreement
despite the termination of this Agreement. In such event the terms hereof will
continue to be applicable and govern any such distribution of Applications and
Devices beyond the expiry or termination of this Agreement. In case of
termination by The Qt Company due to Licensee's material breach, Licensee must
cease any distribution of Applications and Devices at the date of termination
of this Agreement.
Expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever shall not
relieve Licensee of its obligation to pay any License Fees accrued or payable
to The Qt Company prior to the effective date of termination, and Licensee pay
to The Qt Company all such fees within 30 days from the effective date of
termination of this Agreement.
Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights of Customers to
continue use of Applications and Devices (and therein incorporated
Redistributables).
12.5. Extension of Rights under Special Circumstances
In the event of The Qt Company choosing not to renew the Development License(s)
or QA Tools Licenses, as set forth in Section 3.1 and 3.5 respectively, and
where such decision of non-renewal is not due to any ongoing breach or alleged
breach (as reasonably determined by The Qt Company) by Licensee of the terms of
this Agreement or any applicable license terms of Open Source Qt, then all
valid and affected Development Licenses and QA Tools licenses possessed by the
Licensee at such date shall be extended to be valid in perpetuity under the
terms of this Agreement and Licensee is entitled to purchase additional
licenses as set forth in Section 10.2.
In the event The Qt Company is declared bankrupt under a final, non-cancellable
decision by relevant court of law, and this Agreement is not, at the date of
expiry of the Development License(s) or QA Tools Licenses, assigned to party,
who has assumed The Qt Company's position as a legitimate licensor of Licensed
Software under this Agreement, then all valid Development Licenses and QA Tools
Licenses possessed by the Licensee at such date of expiry, and which the
Licensee has not notified for expiry, shall be extended to be valid in
perpetuity under the terms of this Agreement.
For clarity, in case of an extension under this Section 12.5, any such
extension shall not apply to The Qt Company's Support obligations, but Support
shall be provided only up until the end of the respective fixed Development
License Term regardless of the extension of relevant Development License or QA
Tools License, unless otherwise agreed between the Parties.
13. GOVERNING LAW AND LEGAL VENUE

the laws of the State of California, USA, excluding its choice of law
provisions;
(ii) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
of Goods will not apply to this Agreement; and
(iii) any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or
validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or
applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by
arbitration in San Francisco, USA, before one arbitrator. The
arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS' Streamlined
Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction. This Section shall not preclude
parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a
court of appropriate jurisdiction.

the laws of Finland, excluding its choice of law provisions;
(ii) the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale

consist of one (1), or if either Party so requires, of three (3),
arbitrators. The award shall be final and binding and enforceable in
any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be held in
Helsinki, Finland and the process shall be conducted in the English
language. This Section shall not preclude parties from seeking
provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate
jurisdiction.
14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1. No Assignment
Except in the case of a merger or sale of substantially all of its corporate
assets, Licensee shall not be entitled to assign or transfer all or any of its
rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of The Qt Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The Qt Company shall be entitled to freely assign or transfer any of its
rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement.
14.2. No Third-Party Representations
Licensee shall make no representations or warranties concerning the Licensed
Software on behalf of The Qt Company. Any representation or warranty Licensee
makes or purports to make on The Qt Company's behalf shall be void as to
The Qt Company.
14.3. Surviving Sections
Any terms and conditions that by their nature or otherwise reasonably should
survive termination of this Agreement shall so be deemed to survive. Such
sections include especially the following: 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12.4, 13 and 14.
14.4. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, the Appendices hereto, the License Certificate and any
applicable quote and Purchase Order accepted by The Qt Company constitute the
complete agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous discussions, representations, and proposals, written or oral,
with respect to the subject matters discussed herein.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any
Purchase Order, the terms of this Agreement will prevail over the terms of the
Purchase Order with respect to such conflict or inconsistency.
Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that this Agreement prevails over
any click-to-accept or similar agreements the Designated Users may need to
accept online upon download of the Licensed Software, as may be required by
The Qt Company's applicable processes relating to Licensed Software.
14.5. Modifications
No modification of this Agreement shall be effective unless contained in a
writing executed by an authorized representative of each Party. No term or
condition contained in Licensee's Purchase Order ("Deviating Terms") shall
apply unless The Qt Company has expressly agreed such Deviating Terms in
writing. Unless and to the extent expressly agreed by The Qt Company, any such
Deviating Terms shall be deemed void and with no legal effect. For clarity,
delivery of the Licensed Software following the receipt of the Purchase Order
including Deviating Terms shall not constitute acceptance of such Deviating
Terms.
14.6. Force Majeure
Except for the payment obligations hereunder, neither Party shall be liable to
the other for any delay or non-performance of its obligations hereunder in the
event and to the extent that such delay or non-performance is due to an event
of act of God, terrorist attack or other similar unforeseeable catastrophic
event that prevents either Party for fulfilling its obligations under this
Agreement and which such Party cannot avoid or circumvent ("Force Majeure
Event"). If the Force Majeure Event results in a delay or non-performance of a
Party for a period of three (3) months or longer, then either Party shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect without any
liability (except for the obligations of payment arising prior to the event of
Force Majeure) towards the other Party.
14.7. Notices
Any notice given by one Party to the other shall be deemed properly given and
deemed received if specifically acknowledged by the receiving Party in writing
or when successfully delivered to the recipient by hand, fax, or special
courier during normal business hours on a business day to the addresses
specified for each Party on the signature page. Each communication and document
made or delivered by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement
shall be in the English language.
14.8. Export Control
Licensee acknowledges that the Redistributables, as incorporated in
Applications or Devices, may be subject to export control restrictions under
the applicable laws of respective countries. Licensee shall fully comply with
all applicable export license restrictions and requirements as well as with all
laws and regulations relating to the Redistributables and exercise of licenses
hereunder and shall procure all necessary governmental authorizations,
including without limitation, all necessary licenses, approvals, permissions or
consents, where necessary for the re-exportation of the Redistributables,
Applications and/or Devices.
14.9. No Implied License
There are no implied licenses or other implied rights granted under this
Agreement, and all rights, save for those expressly granted hereunder, shall
remain with The Qt Company and its licensors. In addition, no licenses or
immunities are granted to the combination of the Licensed Software with any
other software or hardware not delivered by The Qt Company under this
Agreement.
14.10. Attorney Fees

to recover its attorney's fees and costs in connection with such action, as to
be ordered by the relevant dispute resolution body.
14.11. Privacy
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that for the purpose of this Agreement,
The Qt Company may collect, use, transfer and disclose personal data pertaining
to Designated Users as well as any other employees and directors of the
Licensee and its Contractors relevant for carrying out the intent of this
Agreement. Such personal data will be primarily collected from the relevant
individuals but may be collected also from Licensee (e.g. in the course of
Licensee's reporting obligations). The Parties acknowledge that as
The Qt Company determines the purpose and means for such collection and
processing of the applicable personal data, The Qt Company shall be regarded as
the Data Controller under the applicable Data Protection Legislation.
The Qt Company shall process any such personal data in accordance with its
privacy and security policies and practices, which will comply with all
applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation.
14.12. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or
eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
14.13. Marketing Rights
Parties have agreed upon Marketing Rights pursuant to Appendix 7, if any.

tar.gz archives. Executable content and documents in platform specific formats
such as Microsoft Office' are not accepted.
In order for The Qt Company to provide prompt handling of Errors, the
Designated User shall promptly respond to any requests from The Qt Company for
additional information.
2.3 Support Limitations
General limitations:
Each version or release of the Licensed Software will be Supported under
Standard Support or Premium Support only for limited time period as set forth
in doc.qt.io or in documentation provided with the respective Licensed Software
product. If nothing is documented, a release of Licensed Software is supported
for one (1) year from the release date of the version x.y.0 and Long Term
Support (LTS) Releases are supported for a period of three (3) years from the
release date of the LTS version x.y.0.
The Qt Company shall only provide Support for Designated User(s) through
Customer Portal.Support is made available for the entire development teams
only: It is not allowed to purchase Support only for some members of the
development team, and all Designated Users of the respective development team
must be eligible for the same level of Support.
Support is not provided for snapshots, preview releases, beta releases or
release candidates.
The Qt Company shall have no obligation to provide Support for 3rd party
components, hardware or operating system specific problems or problems arising
from improper use, accident, neglect, or modification of Qt.
Limitations with Install Support:
Support limited to (i) Error(s) regarding installation and setting up of the Qt
development environment on host Platforms, or (ii) Errors impacting operational
use of the QA Tools.
Limitations with Standard Support:
The Qt Company shall not provide Support for third-party software or problems
caused by third-party software even if such third-party software is distributed
together with Licensed Software product(s).
The Qt Company shall only provide Support for Error(s) that are reported on and
can be reproduced on Platforms that are officially supported for the release of
the Licensed Software.
Limitations with Premium support:
The Qt Company shall not provide Support for third-party software or problems
caused by third-party software. However, if such third-party software is
distributed together with Licensed Software, The Qt Company will make
commercially reasonable efforts to solve such problems.
The Qt Company shall only provide Support for Error(s) that can be reproduced
on Platforms that are officially supported for the release of the Licensed
Software. If the Error is on a Platform that is not supported, The Qt Company
will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide a solution on closest
corresponding supported Platform.
Premium Support is optional and purchased for an agreed bucket of hours
(“Bucket”). Hours can be used by any Designated User in the respective
development team. To encourage continuous usage of the Support, ten percent
(10%) of the purchased Bucket shall automatically expire (regardless of whether
such support hours are actually used or not by the Licensee) each month after
three (3) months from the purchase of the Premium Support.
2.4 Handling of Security Issues
The reported Errors marked as Security Issues will be assessed by experts to
determine the severity of the issue and to verify if it indeed is a valid
Security Issue. The Designated User who reported the issue may be contacted for
more details. If the reported issue is not deemed to be a Security Issue, it
will be treated as a normal Error and handled accordingly.
A verified Security Issue will be fixed as soon as possible. Qt Company will
notify all Licensees via appropriate channels about the Security Errors and
availability of patches for Licensed Software. Typically, a fix for the
Security Issue is included in the next Maintenance Release of Licensed
Software.
If the Security Issue is reported in a third-party library used in Licensed
Software, The Qt Company will notify the relevant third party of such Security
Issue detected in their library. When the Security Issue is fixed in the
third-party library, the new version of the third-party library will be in the
next feasible Maintenance Release of the Licensed Software. If a fixed version
of the third-party library is not available, The Qt Company may instead decide
to include documentation regarding the issue, or a patch for this third-party
library.
All known Security Issues in Licensed Software will be mentioned as part of the
change notes released with each version of Licensed Software.
2.5 Extended Support
Extended Support extends the Support Validity Term for a release of Licensed
Software that is no longer generally supported.
Extended Support includes and is by default provided with Standard Support
rules and limitations, unless Extended Support is purchased together with
Premium Support in which case Premium Support rules and limitations will apply.
Extended Support is optional and purchased with annual fee and separately per
each Licensee product. Extended Support will need definition of (i) Licensee
product, (ii) used Platform(s) and (iii) Licensed Software version(s). For
avoidance of doubt, Extended Support requires that the Designated User has a
valid license for the respective Licensed Software.
2.6 Qualification Kit
The Qt Company shall provide a set of documents and validation tests that
enable the Licensee to qualify QA testing tool (subject to a separate fee) or
Qt Safe Renderer for the purpose of safety certification of Licensee end-to-end
solution. Exact complied safety standards may vary between products, used
features, use case, and industry.
3 RESPONSE TIME
In performing Support, The Qt Company shall commit to following, non-binding,
Response Times:
Standard Support: Errors and Support requests will have a Response Time not to
exceed two (2) business days.
Premium Support: Errors and Support requests will have a Response Time not to
exceed one (1) business day.
Security Issues: Errors that are Security Issues will have a Response Time not
to exceed one (1) business day.

Designated User and then follow up, without undue delay, with additional
communication before an Error is properly addressed or Support provided.
4 ADDITIONAL SERVICES IN PREMIUM SUPPORT
The Designated User(s) will be assigned a Dedicated Contact to handle requests
for Support. Dedicated Contact is subject to change in cases such as sick

The Designated User(s) can on request ask The Qt Company to access their
computer remotely in order to resolve problems directly.
The Designated User(s) can request a session via Instant Messaging or phone
call in the support request to The Qt Company.
Premium Support can assist Licensee in implementing new features, bug fixes
and accessing patches in Licensed Software or Application Code.
All Support requests will be handled with high priority.
5 MAINTENANCE RELEASES, UPDATES AND UPGRADES
Under the Support the Licensee is eligible for Maintenance Releases and Updates
that The Qt Company generally makes available to customers who has purchased
Support. Unless otherwise decided by The Company at its free and absolute
discretion, Upgrades will not be provided under the Support.
The primary focus of Maintenance Releases is product quality. Therefore, each
Maintenance Release typically includes the following types of changes to the
previous version of Licensed Software:
- Bug fixes caused by changes to previously working code;
- Fixes related to build issues on supported Platforms;
- Error corrections specific to a single Platform that are not present on other
Platforms;
