  43. Intellectual Property Is a service contract required for access to the patch library? • A customer warranty or manufacturer support coverage is required on Enterprise products for use of Avaya Intellectual Property, including distribution of software patches and updates to customers. • Following industry best practices, Avaya ensures our Intellectual Property is only available to authorized partners by: • Conducting regular audits • Putting technical measures in place to ensure compliance, including protecting access to patches behind a firewall • Stopping NES patch library access for non-service authorized partners • Ensuring partners requesting access have a minimum level of coverage • Distribution of Avaya software to customers or others not entitled to receive them is a violation of the Channel Agreement, the End User License Agreement, and the Sales Engagement Principles. Violations may cause the partner to be subject to restriction of certain benefits and/or partial or complete termination of partner’s participation in the partner program. Additional Sources of information • For more information, please refer to the Avaya Intellectual Policy portal https://partner.avaya.com/ptlWeb/bp/spCP/CS2006103115434830059/C2010428124857330097/SN201042813744990057/SN201042813744990057

  50. Changing partners while under an active contract • PASS or Express is a contract between Avaya and a partner and cannot be transferred from partner to partner, • What we can support is to cancel the existing contract with partner A and open a new contract with partner B to take effect the day after partner A's contract expires (or is terminated). • Partner A sells a support contract to an end customer which includes manufacturer support from Avaya in addition to whatever services they add on top (help desk, parts, dispatch, monitoring, MACs. etc.) • The end customer becomes dissatisfied with Partner A and shops for a new support provider and Partner B is chosen. • Partner B determines the level of manufacturer support they require and creates a service quote. EC Services software history or Excel BOM loader may be used by Partner B to generate a quote • Partner B works with the end customer to establish date of when the transition will take place and the customer must notify Partner A that they will terminate their arrangement 1 day earlier. • Partner A places request for early cancellation of their PASS contract, including last date of support and notation that cancellation fees are to be waived as Partner B is submitting a replacement support contract. The replacement contract must not lapse, be at least as long of a term, and at least at the same level of service • Partner B submits PO which will take effect the day after Partner A's contract terminates. • Avaya will provide credit to Partner A for the pro-rata amount of any prepaid PASS support. • It is also important to note that the information about the existing arrangement between Avaya and Partner A is confidential and cannot be shared with Partner B. This includes, but is not limited to; level of service purchased from Avaya, term, price, system ID information, ISM or port counts, etc. • Partner B needs to work with the customer to obtain the information needed to allow them to quote their offer and determine the level of manufacturer support they require from Avaya.
