Service Features For products covered by Foundation Care, HP offers three distinct service levels: HP Foundation Care NBD Service HP Foundation Care 24x7 Service HP Foundation Care CTR Service The HP Foundation Care portfolio also offers the same three service levels with the inclusion of hardware defective media retention (DMR) and comprehensive defection material retention (CDMR) as additional core features. See table 2 for details on DMR and CDMR. The details of the HP Foundation Care service levels are outlined in the text that follows. HP has established formal escalation procedures to facilitate the resolution of complex problems. Local HP management coordinates problem escalation by enlisting the skills of appropriate HP resources to assist the Customer with problem-solving. For selected third-party software products for which HP is providing software support and update services, HP will follow the agreed-upon escalation processes established between HP and the third-party vendor to assist with problem resolution. For eligible products, the HP electronic remote support solution provides robust troubleshooting and repair capabilities. It can include remote system access solutions and may offer a convenient central point of administration and an enterprise view of open incidents and history. An HP support specialist will only use the remote system access with the Customer's authorization. The remote system access may enable the HP support specialist to provide more efficient troubleshooting and faster problem resolution. In cases where the Customer has not purchased HP Foundation Care support on selected non-HP software products that reside on eligible hardware equipment covered by HP Foundation Care support, HP will provide the Basic Software Support and Collaborative Call Management features as described below, instead of Foundation Care software support as described in the Software support section of table 1. Basic Software Support on selected non-HP software products is limited to the following: HP will attempt to resolve problems on these products by applying or asking the Customer to apply fixes that have been made available or known to HP. In some cases, support may be limited to communication of a known fix available through the installation of a software update or patch, and the Customer will be directed to available sources for the applicable updates or patches because access to the known fix requires additional service contracts with the respective software vendor. If the problem is still not resolved, then Collaborative Call Management can be initiated at the Customers request. Basic Software Support is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. If HP determines that a problem is caused by a selected independent vendors software and the problem is not resolved by the Customer applying known, available fixes, HP will, at the Customers request, initiate Collaborative Call Management with the independent software vendor.
